In this interview, CTB Sports Director Derek Darr sat down with Enid Head Football Coach Chris Elerick to discuss the upcoming matchup against Edmond Santa Fe.
The coach shared some insight into what to expect against Edmond Santa Fe:
“They’re a quality 6A opponent. They’ve played the other two Edmond schools…New coaching staff, playing a lot of different kids. Definitely a tough opponent. We’re going to have to put our best game together to go get a win.”
Coach Elerick discussed how to slow down the Edmond Santa Fe offense and defense:
We’ve got to be really good in coverage, and that’s something that we have not been great at times this year. They’re going to throw the ball around quite a bit, and we have to be really good in coverage every snap, we can’t have a bust. They’re good enough that if we bust the coverage, they’re going to make us pay for it. So, I think that’s really going to be a big point of emphasis Friday night, and a big telling factor on how the outcome of the games goes if we’re good in coverage and [if] we can keep the ball in front of us, we’re probably going to play pretty good on defense….
