We should be in store for an exciting game Thursday as Union and Edmond Santa Fe have no problem gaining yardage. Union has been on an offensive roll this season, having averaged 433 total yards per game. However, it's not like Edmond Santa Fe struggles in that department as they've been averaging 426.5 per game. With a pair of commanding offenses duking it out, the defenses are going to have their work cut out for them.
Everything came up roses for Union against Edmond Santa Fe in their previous matchup back in October of 2022 as the team secured a 62-21 win.
