X Factor:
Oxford’s Offense: While the Chargers lost WRs due to graduation, the Charger offense will have to have fun this game and not play tight. The Chargers are known as a second half team and usually score the most after the half time talk. Having multiple QBs and RBs helps keep the backfield fresh for the Chargers. The X Factor for Friday’s game will be the offense for Oxford, and they will have to set the tone and keep up the energy throughout the game against Murrah.
Prediction:
Coming off of a loss to Lafayette, the Chargers have mistakes to learn from. The Chargers will have fun tonight as will the homecoming court. The Chargers’ defense will make the stops they need to make and the offense will settle in real quick. 33-10, Chargers.
