JPII VS MBA?

Recommended Posts

OK football fans after JPII's bashing and MBA's whoopin by West Tennessee's ECS and CB. Which of these teams will bounce back to take this game?

 

Appearently both teams have lost their Defenses and both must have coaches that are to hard headed to make adjustments to their defensive schemes.

 

I must say JPII has the easiest remaining schedule and needs three wins to get in the playoffs while MBA is heading into the most difficult part of their schedule with their last 5 games having to face JPII, Father Ryan, BA, Mcallie and Baylor.

 

What program / Coaching staff has what it takes to turn it around?

 

I say JPII takes a close one in Double overtime 28-27.

MBA lost to CBHS and MUS, not ECS. I beleive MUS lost to ECS.

 

As far as this game...I have no idea what to expect. MBA has been absolutely devastated by injuries. I have never seen anything like it. They are now down to their third and fourth string QB's among other things. Very disapointed in the CBHS game last Friday, especially from a defensive perspective. This team will struggle to have a winning record, in my opinion. Fortunately, PJP has not been too impressive, either. Hopefully, the Big Red can pull out the win.

I've been following MBA football since '70. By season's end, the '75 team had a similar injury situation, but I can't recall anything as bad as this at this point in the season.

 

It's a question and not an accusation: is there any chance that the injury situation is related to the installation of the new turf?

This game is actually quite meaningful for MBA in terms of getting into the playoffs this year, because JPII is arguably the worst team left on the schedule. If they win, they are 4-2. If they happen to lose, they will be 3-3. In order to make the playoffs, they would need to win 2 more games. Their remaining games are against Ryan, BA, McCallie and Baylor. Not saying (at all!!) that they couldn't do it, but it's certainly no gimme. JPII is not quite as desperate, because they have some easy wins left on their schedule.

 

MBA's defense, I think, was probably embarrassed by the big loss at CBHS, and I'm sure they are going to have a much better week stepping up against what amounts to a one (very good) man offense.

 

They'll be ready. MBA by 10.

    • Never said I thought it was a smart decision. I'm scratching my head at it too.
    • If he wanted to play QB he should have either went to Heritage or William Blount and had a real good chance there. In stead he'll be exactly what he was going to be at Maryville. They already know who their QB is going to be in 2025 and it ain't going to be him.
    • Easier said than done. The man who ran for 250+ yards and 3TDs is gonna be back….and a lot bigger.
    • plus it removes the pressure around winning.
    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.
