Another first...

It's not that unusual for a second year team to have a lot of "firsts" in anything they do. However, this will be the first time Faulkner hosts a ranked team. Union College rolls into town ranked 18th in the latest NAIA poll. Union has started the season 2-0 and look to adding to that on Saturday. The Eagles from Faulkner plan on not letting that happen. This is an exciting moment, having a ranked team come into our house. This is a great opportunity for us to keep heading in the right direction.

Now the story that is making all the noise is Willie Williams. Union's starting middle linebacker has been a journeyman for some time and has now made his home at Union. Once one of the most highly recruited linebackers in the country, now after some trouble off the field is looking to make an impact one last time in the college ranks. There is no doubt that he can flat out play, but there are 10 other guys that have to make plays as well. Someone asked, "how do you prepare for someone like him?". Simple, go where he aint and make him miss. He is really not a big concern for our game plan. If we run our offense the way it should, then there will be and should be open areas of the field. Bottom line, if you hit the open areas, it won't matter who is out there.

Fans, it's an early kick-off on this one. Faulkner looks to knock off #18 at 11am on Saturday. We need your support. Come on out and have a great time. We look forward to seeing you out there.

GO EAGLES!
