Baylor vs Brentwood Academy

I haven't seen any talk about this game on coacht, so let's get it going.

BA - a lot

Baylor - a little

I am afraid that may be true. As good as Cooper and Massey are, I am not sure the o-line can give them much room against BA's big boys

If BA plays like they did last week, anything could happen

I wonder which tape Flatt sent them? The first or second game. I bet the first.

At the risk of being accused of insulting Ravenwood, but for the sake of objective analysis, this is one of the 7 games BA will lose this year if they play with the same intensity as last week.

 

I don't think they will, so I pick the Eagles by 14.

Baylor has snuck up on some superior teams the last two years. They upset MUS two years ago compliments of a couple of hundred MUS fumbles. Last year they got to the semi's (who'd they beat?). But they have a very small line and have beat two mediocre teams this year while allowing a fair amount of scoring. I think it could get ugly.

BA 28

Baylor 7

 

Nice win on the road for BA. Still too many mistakes in the first half (which ended in a 7-7 tie), but BA was able to force/capitalize on Baylor mistakes in the second half. BA's defense looked strong, but the offense still has some improvement to make before they can make a legit run at State . . .

Baylor hung in there during the first half, but like you said, turnovers absoutely killed them in the second half. Too many mistakes to beat a team like BA.

Baylor did a good job tonight shutting down BA's passing game but had a hard time keeping BA's running game in check. When #5 entered the game, Baylor could not stop him. Why was he not a starter tonight? If BA is to be the team that everyone has said will win it all, then they need to do something about their offense in a hurry. Baylor had a few promising plays but still has some work to do. Both teams need to be ready for McCallie because boy can they score.

I agree that BA must continue to improve if they are to make a run at a gold ball. I wouldn't be too panicked about the offense however. They are, after all, averaging almost 38 points a game so far, and have a lot of depth at RB as you saw last night.

BA stuggled with a very mediocre Baylor team. BA's defense was put into many tough situations in the first half and did a good job only giving up one TD. BA's defense totally dominated in the 2nd half. The BA offense is another story. The running game is good enough to beat mediocre teams on its own. They will not be able to just run against good teams. This offense looks like the "same old " BA offense that loses in big games because it is to predictable. Their offense this year is tunring away from a vertical passing attack to a "horizontal" passing attack. 3 completions / 9 attempts for 9 yards, that will strike fear in the hearts of upcoming BA opponents. This BA defense better begin playing REAL good becuase this offense will struggle against teams putting 8 and 9 players in the box. No passing game NO gold ball this year
