Bolivar at David Lipscomb

[Middle Tennessee Football]

I have to give a major advantage to David Lipscomb in this one based on playoff experience. In particular, this game will be played the week of Thanksgiving. David Lipscomb has done this many times before. I am sure they have a set Thanksgiving week practice routine...how to handle time off from school, what time to practice on Thursday, how to remain focused, etc...

 

Having said that, I think Bolivar will be more competition than they have seen this year with the exception possibly of Goodpasture. Bolivar has a tough, physcial football team. Their O-line is big and experienced and their fullback goes 250lbs while the tailback is 230lbs. They will run the ball downhill. Defensively they are not sound, but have great athletes that will play with a ton of effort.

 

David Lipscomb has an offensive machine. They put pressure on most teams by making them feel like they have to score a lot of points. Jeremy Holt is explosive. Rogers is a threat on the outside and on returns. Simpson does a good job at quarterback. David Lipscomb's defense is very good. The are very fast up front and get bunches of people to the ball. However, I think their weakness is exploited when teams run the ball right at them and that is Bolivar's strength.

 

I think Bolivar's offense will be able to run the ball on DL. If they don't turn the ball over and don't give up quick touchdowns, the Tigers have a chance. I don't think Bolivar is disciplined enough to stop DL wing-t offense. DL will put up at least 21pts even if Bolivar makes them take a lot of snaps. Bolivar's goal should be to run the ball and run the clock.

 

A couple of questions, before I pick the winner:

1.) What is the status of Davis for David Lipscomb? I like Rogers getting to touch the ball at running back, but he is an automatic touchdown when lined up out wide.

 

2.) Has Bolivar played any wing-t teams this year? There is no way to prepare for DL execution in one week!

Did I read correctly that Bolivar gave up over 550 yds rushing to Fayette-Ware, yet won? How did that happen? Anyone have any insight?

I would like to think that the reason Bolivar keeps winning is because they keep putting up HUGE numbers! I like the upset in this one..

Bolivar played against Dyersburg earlier in the year and they ran the Vear, almost to perfection. Dyersburg roughed them up pretty good. But it was early in the year.

JSS is a game that will help Bolivar in preparing for DL. The Tigers lost that game 20-10 in week eight. That was the Thursday-Friday game that thunderstorms forced to make a two night contest.

 

 

DAVID LIPSCOMB IS A TON BETTER THAN JACKSON SOUTH SIDE!!!!!

 

I am picking the Mustangs to roll in this one. They are the best team in Class 3A. I have said this all year long and will continue to say it until they claim the Blue Cross Bowl in just a few short weeks. Coach Mac & Co. have an amazing backfield this year and the young players have stepped up and performed great. Holt & Moneypenny must continue to run the football hard. IF THEY HOLD ON TO THE PIG SKIN THEN THEY'LL BE IN NO DANGER!!!! This is what kept Marshall Co. in the game for much of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter. Coach Mac will correct that issue this week in practice I am sure.

 

David Lipscomb: 35

Bolivar: 7

 

The Mustangs will find a way to slow the Tigers ground game and when that happens the turnovers start to happen as well. DL will score their normal 5 TDs by running Holt on the sweep, Moneypenny on the trap, Rogers on the rocket, & by throwing the football a few successful times with Simpson to the trio of Davis, Rogers, & Lehning.

 

Congrats to Bolivar Central on a great season as well as on a great run here in these playoffs /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

BC you may not be giving DL enough credit in this one,altho I know Coach Mac doesnt roll up big scores on anyone. Yes the Tigers seem to have improved in the playoffs but those teams werent DL !!

Here at Dyersburg, we ran the Midline against Bolivar (and everyone else). Key feature was the option. Lipscomb's Wing T is completely different. Lipscomb by as much as they want it to be.

I have said time and time again that David Lipscomb's Mustangs will win the Class 3A State Title this year and they'll also be the projected favorites to win it again heading into next year. Coach Mac & Co. are great and I hope they win it all to represent our region well. At DL they have coaches, players, & fans that are all class acts.
