Wins by all of the teams ahead of GMC in the NJCAA polls will likely mean that GMC will remain No. 4 when the latest polls are released today.
However, with one game to go against Lackawanna next week, the Bulldogs will have one last chance to advance in the polls before the bowl games in the first week of December.
The Bulldogs are not guaranteed a spot in one of the six bowls, but have a strong chance if they can win this next week in Scranton, Pa.
“Lackawanna is a very good team. They’re 7-2. They lost a close one to Dean who’s undefeated. They’re big, they’ll try to pound you off the ball on offense and they’ve got a lot of guys returning,” Williams said.
Lackawanna will attempt to run the ball on a Bulldogs defense which has been stingy to the running game all season.
“They’re going to try and do something no one else has done to us which is run the ball effectively. We’ve got to play well on defense and make sure we can play 2 halves of really good football.”
The Falcons are undefeated this season at home and another long road trip for the Bulldogs will be another test.
“We’ll have a long trip up to Pennsylvania. We’ve handled our trips pretty well with the exception of the Navarro trip.”
