Ensworth vs MUS: The Prediction Thread

Ensworth 28- MUS 14

[WesVLT]

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

Not a bad pick! Congrats to Ensworth.

I'm just proud I accurately predicted the first-quarter action and halftime score. I'm rarely very accurate!

I made the drive to watch this one in person. Ensworth had the better team. Bowers played very well and the MUS QB did not have his best night...was hurried alot and ball was floating high and away on the sideline passes. The Ensworth defense was really good and the defensive scheme to pressure MUS passing made the difference. Although the score was close, it just did not seem that the game was close. I was on the MUS side and it just seemed that they were in an out of body experience and could not get rolling in the second half. MUS played tough and is no doubt the second best team in 2-AA.
