Oak Ridge coach Dereck Rush knows what to expect from A&M Consolidated quarterback Kobe Miller on Friday night at Buddy Moorhead Memorial Stadium.
Rush figures Miller and the Tigers will come out throwing.

“With a team like A&M Consolidated, you’ve got to be able to tackle in space,” Rush said. “They’re based out of the one-back formation and they’re going to throw the ball around. They’ve got a lot of good receivers.

“Defensively, we have to do a good job of tackling, and keeping the play in front of us.”
