USJ at Milan

[thedawg44]

USJ vs Milan! This has to be the game of the week in West Tennessee. Both teams come into Friday night undefeated and tied for 1st place in Region 8AA. What a matchup! There is no doubt Milan has a great football team and a great coach, but USJ isnt playing around this year! For the last few years, USJ has had a tough time in Region 8AA...they have gotten beat like a red-headed step child and they are SICK of it! Thats why its about to change tomorrow night. USJ comes from behind and upsets the MIGHTY Milan Bulldogs 34-28!!! Go luck to both teams and hope nobody gets hurt! GO BRUINS!!!

Bulldogs win 42-35 Big win but the Bruins put up a great fight. Overby with over 436 yards passing/ team -1 yard rushing - Gilbert with a lot of yards rushing and 3 or 4 TD's

[hufstedler02]

Milan stats: 376 rushing, 110 passing.

USJ stats: -1 rushing, 435 passing.

 

Total offense combined 921 yards. That is a good offensive game. Good game. I think the better team did win. I would like to see this game played with Milan at full strength. No excuses, but 3 of the secondary starters were out of this game. That does hurt a little bit.

Great job, my Bulldog friends. USJ is a great team.

 

Here are the rest of the final stats:

First downs - M 19, U 18

Total yards - M 486, U 435

If you were to told me Milan lost their top two DBs in J.W. Williams and Tristian Peoples then I woulda told you we get beat. Yet, Milan came up big again without two of their top playmakers and top DBs and still won vs. an undefeated team. Not sure what happened to Tristian, but it looked like the Docs were examining his neck or head on the sideline.
