West Georgia travels to Pensacola to try to extend the visiting win streak to 8-0 in this series. The visiting team has won every game between these two teams! The Wolves won 69-0 in 2016, 27-7 in 2018 and 30-26 the last time they visited in 2021, all at Blue Wahoo stadium. This game is the first one on the UWF campus and the Argos look to end this visitors streak and open their GSC schedule with a win. The weather is expected to be clear and a big crowd is expected also.
The Wolves bring the #2 GSC rushing attack to Penn Air field along with two QB playing hot potato with playing time and the football. The Argos counter with the #1 GSC rushing and total defense along with stability at QB.
The Argos pass more than the Wolves, throw fewer picks and sack the QB way more than the Wolves. The Argos turnover ratio is 0 and the Wolves are -4. The Argos have greater depth in size and upperclassmen on both sides of the line and their four man D front is effective even without their blitzing. Both teams have excellent skill players and the game may be decided by which QB can get the ball to their skill players the most.
The teams kicking and return game is roughly the same and the Argos do 50 more yards of yellow laundry per game and a lot of these penalties have been untimely drive killers. The Red zone offense is identical but the Argo red zone D is much better, 1-3 vs 7-9.
One interesting anomaly with the Wolves is their time of possession is only 22 minutes per game vs 30 for the Argos. The only reasonable explanation for a running team to be so low is it must be due to turning the ball over a lot, which they have done 8 times so far.
I expect both teams will try to run the ball a lot and throw a little to feel each other out. The Argos will be trying to slow the Wolves running game to force the Wolves to throw so they can get to the QB and force a few hot potatoes from whoever starts for the Wolves. The Wolves will be hoping the Argos penalize themselves out of scoring drives so the Wolves won’t have to pass too much and can bleed the clock out with their running game. Can’t predict turnovers, but I believe we will see a few and it likely won’t be the Argos, who are stingier with the ball.
Argos will slow the run enough to force some passing turnovers through sacks or picks and won’t be stymied as much by penalties with shorter fields. I also expect the Argo passing game to be much better than last week’s dreadful performance against FAMU that was the worst I’ve seen in dry conditions. Argos break the visitors streak and win by 10.
