Maybe it's too late to get some discussion started on tonight's game. A couple years ago this particular thread woulda had about 13 pages (doesn't it get old saying stuff like this?) especially after the Ava QB's confidence on the O-Zone.
Good vs Evil is what Grove/Ava fans have referred to this game in the past, I'll let you all decide who is what. In any event, this clearly is the game of the week/first 3rd of the year. So does anyone have any analysis beyond a simple prediction?
I could see a number of things happening, but I have a feeling Ava could keep it close. Many times I've watched Ava come out against a much better Liberty squad and hang on or beat Liberty when you'd think they wouldn't. They might be able to do that again here. Swoff is arguably the 2nd best coach in the conference right now and his kids are clearly gonna be fired up.
With that said, it would not shock me at all if Short and co come out and ran for 500+ as a team and won by 21. In this battle of the veer, I think Grove is better equipped. Not to mention after what it seems like many believe was a lost year last year, Grovers seem to think they are on a revenge tour this year.
I'm not willing to say Ava will beat Grove but I think this one will be #HellaClose. I think Grove 28 Ava 26
