1999 State Title game...

[VandyHoosiers]

Anyone know where I can find the stats (box score) from this Clinic Bowl? 49-15 MBA win and I think MBA set the record for most sacks in a title game...but I'd like to see the actual stats from it. Any help would be much appreciated...thanks in advance.

1999 Clinic Bowl MBA-CBHS

A not-so-great game to end a very great season for MBA - one of the best this state has seen in the past decade as well as all-time. This game may be famous for the hit Barton Simmons laid on a CBHS WR that sent teeth flying all over the field and a CBHS parent seething from the stands.

 

This year's MUS team made a close run at laying claim to Division II's most dominant champion over its 12-year history, but to compare the two seasons:

 

> MBA's signature out-of-state victory was far more significant: MUS's 2008 29-22 victory over Olive Branch came against a good Mississippi opponent but one who hasn't seen a state championship in at least 28 seasons, if not ever. MBA's 26-21 vicotry over The Bolles School of Jacksonville, FL came against a program that was less than four years removed from being ranked number one in the nation for much of the 1995 season and who later had a coach (Corky Rogers) that would become Florida's all-time wins leader (career record of 375-68-1 at the end of 2008).

 

> MUS's out-of-division Tennessee wins came against five teams with a combined record of 26-31 (.456), only two of which had winning records. MBA's out-of-division Tennessee wins came against three teams with a combined record of 25-13 (.658), all of which had winning records and which and included the defending 5A champ in DI (Oakland) and a Pearl-Cohn program two years removed from back-to-back DI-4A titles.

 

> MUS's 2008 team had two shutouts, none in division; MBA had five shutouts, four in division.

 

> MUS's 2008 team had a division game decided by 7 or less points (11 of the 12 DII-Large champs have had either a loss or at least one game decided by 7 or less points); MBA's closest division game had a margin of 28 points (35-7 against McCallie in the playoffs), and MBA outscored its division opponents by an average of 40-5 (as compared to 39-11 for the 2008 MUS team).

 

> MBA's 34-point title game victory remains the largest margin-wise of all-time amongst the large DII schools by almost two touchdowns.

 

Don't get me wrong - MUS 2008 was fabulous, and clearly the best team I saw of all the title game participants in 2008 - but that 1999 MBA team still sets the bar in my opinion for the all-time best DII team in its 12-year history.
