Friday's matchup might be decided on the ground. Dublin has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 182.6 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Foothill struggles in that department as they've been averaging 147.7 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's contest turns into a tough fight on the ground.

Do the Gaels have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Falcons turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
