Coach Adrian Snow’s Titans are ranked highly in every poll, including sixth in the official AP balloting.
QB Patrick Midkiff directed West’s win against the War Eagles last season and is still around. He had a huge game last week, going 14-of-25 passing for 265 yards. Midkiff hit Bobby Clark and Anthony Vergerano with key passes.
Davie will be challenged to stop Midkiff and the Titans. Lineman Chase Sampson had eight stops last week, but statistically Davie ranks last among the eight schools in the Post’s coverage area in scoring defense and rushing yards allowed. It’s seventh in total defense. Of course, a killer schedule contributes to those ugly numbers.
Davie QB Jacob Barber suffered a concussion last week on special teams. If he’s not available, Carson Herndon steps in. ó Mike London
