All right, now that we're only six hours away, here's how I think the game will go.

 

Corn Elder is Corn Elder. He'll get his yards. MUS's defense doesn't have the speed to shut him down, but it does have the smarts and the coaching to play a "bend-but-don't-break" game.

 

The key matchup is on the other side of the ball -- can Jordan Rodgers and the MUS offense move the ball on a rigid Ensworth D? They were able to score 28 points on the Tigers in Week 0, more than any other team has tallied against Ensworth this year. That same MUS squad scored 46 on BA two weeks ago. I think they'll have some success.

 

The teams will trade scores in the first quarter and Ensworth will lead 17-14 at the break. The Tigers will milk the clock in the second half, using Elder and a big offensive line to keep the ball away from the MUS offense.

 

Final score: Ensworth 31, MUS 21
