Bradley @ Baylor

Tough game for this week. Bradley going against last year's runner up, their division, and a consistantly good team. We will get a good read on where the Bears are for this season. And probably a good test for Baylor as well.

 

Both teams coming off good outings, with Bradley probably having a bit tougher opening, but the secondary was not tested anywhere near what Baylor will bring to the table.

It should be a great game. I am glad to see good non-district teams play each other. No matter how it comes out both teams should get better from playing each other. If it is anything like last year, the teams whose defenses slow down the opposing offenses a few series probably will be the winner. Last year was a shoot out.

It's obvious Bradley has some weak spots. Not many teams haven't. Can't just go out and beef up the lineup from out of state or country. So that obviously can be a disadvantage for a Soddy or Bradley. Baylor should be considered the favorite in this one. I just don't think it will be as wide a margin as last year. Champ99, can u really judge from the polk game? Those Benton boys play as hard as any team around. Depth really hurt them. They can go toe to toe with any team around for the first half.. Baylor had a relatively easy time with Soddy who's having a couple down years due to SM being built. Bradley had the same when Walker was built. I'm going to say this will be a good exciting game to watch.

Having seen Baylor, I'll take Bradley. If there going to get them it will be this year. Not the strongest Baylor team I've seen in the last few years.

Congratulations to Baylor for a solid win. Good team there. Defense really showed a lot of mettle.

 

Bradley never really got on track, and made way too many mistakes to be a real threat in this game; some of their own making, some because of good play by Baylor.

 

Coach Floyd will have lot's of film study to get things corrected.

Teams with speed will give Bradley trouble this year they can't match up with them and it looks like a little of the 90s is creeping back in that spells trouble for the Bears. Polk has almost no speed and the rest of the good teams Bradley has scheduled are loaded with speed. Bradley needs to find a huge fullback and control the clock. Copeland is good but can't do it by his self teams are going to load up and come right after him. Bradley's line is more suited for smash mouth but they need a different scheme. Part of good coaching is adjusting to what you have or don't have.
