@3OrangeWhips , sorry for my late reply, waited for the staff to fall asleep. Grabbed some papers off Coach Hopkins’ desk. Alright, lemme see here what’s on these sheets: Security Bulletin: EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY KEEP ROCKSOUP OFF CAMPUS AND AWAY FROM FOOTBALL STAFF. Subject can be easily mistaken for Fight Club Brad Pitt, subject thinks he’s funny and a know-it-all on The (redacted) HS Football message board.
Jeez, harsh, but I bet that Brad Pitt guy is happy being compared to me.
Anywho, I had 28-24 or 21-19 for this one and out of curiosity checked calpreps and they have it SR 20-19 at a neutral site. But this one’s on the road so pure toss up.
I could have copied and pasted your analysis of the Crusader defense for the Mustangs. There could be at times up to 8 underclassmen out there and if the Senior LB is out 4 of the defenders would be Sophs with a couple in the front 4 rotation.
Offensively, it’s been tough sledding. Losing a two year starter at QB to injury and 4 offensive lineman to graduation with a couple this year to injury, will lead to that. Nothing has clicked consistently. If the passes are decent, there’s drops, if there’s WRs open, it’s an errant pass. When it all hooks up, it looks promising but doesn’t hook up enough to make D coordinators lose sleep. Like the D, there will be formations that have 7 or 8 underclassmen out there. DJ and Jett are really the only senior ball handlers when they are available.
Special teams has come along nicely. FGs are solid 39 in, punts have been booming lately, coverage above average.
I think St. Rita fans are in the same boat as the Br. Rice fans, not being able to rely on one facet of the game, it’s going to be about, like you said, who makes the less turnovers, penalties, mistakes and who can flip the field and put points on the board when the situation presents itself.
I’m looking forward to a great game. Time to get
@Wittymoniker1 upset, but I think if medical clears them, they are playing. I don’t think the St. Rita staff or fans are wired any other way (except for Witty😂) but like, oh there’s a football game Friday night, and it’s against Brother Rice and it’s at Brother Rice. Heck yeah boys, we ride, hair on fire into the house 3ow built and violently collide for 2 and 1/2 hours and sort it out later. What a great game we will be treated to Friday night.
