•North Oconee’s X’s and O’s: Run a multiple-I offensively with some spread, often featuring double and triple receiver sets and empty back field sets … Defensively, the Titans run a variation of a 4-3, often lining up in a five-man front with a strong side linebacker walking up to the line.
•Coach’s take: (on North Oconee’s lines of scrimmage) “They’re all very good players,” coach
T. McFerrin said. “They’ve got some huge offensive lineman, some of them are 280, 270 and 260-lbs, and they’ve got some very good defensive linemen.”
