Milan vs CPA

[BIGPURPLEMACHINE]

You'll fair better than us BPM but it will get ugly fast. Been there. Done that. It doesn't taste good....

With are qb out it won't make things any better.

Anyone that beat Giles like that is pretty good. Don't see anyone slowing CPA down except maybe Alcoa.

Yea.......maybe.

Yea.......maybe.

It will be a good one. I think CPA is much better than last year...and Alcoa is better also. Too far down the road to worry about now.

Milan is much improved and looks like it will return to the 3A Playoffs!

 

But imma take the Blue and Gold of the CPA Lions 35-14!

Pretty well balanced, but biggest strength is ability to both throw and run and mix it up, with fast linemen who have great technique and get out in front of the plays and lead the backs. QB is Jr. with D1 potential. Really good receivers. 

On defense, overall team speed may be the best we have ever had.

Kicking game is very solid with 4 year starter kicking off into end zone and can make 50+ yard FG's. Broke his own school record 50 YD. kick (freshman year) with a 53 yarder this year.

Starting D has given up 3 points this year. Not as big in the line as some years, but lots of speed. Great punter even though he has only had a few this year.

Good luck to Milan. All the CPA fans really respect their program and tradition, and know a game with them will be a dogfight.

Milan is averaging 21 points a games and giving up 18 points on defense.

CPA is averaging 41 points and giving up 12.

Milan is an historical powerhouse for West TN but not this year.  The purple drop but the good news is this isn't a district game.  CPA by 25+.

I DVR'd the Milan/Westview game when it was shown on TV... nasty injury to the Milan QB... hate to see that!

 

The biggest factor in this game, in my opinion, is the Milan defense. Milan has contained some pretty potent offenses over the past two weeks. Yea, I'm sure CPA is better than both Westview and Peabody, but the Milan defense needs to be able to hold its own in this game if its going to be a competitive game. Create some turnovers and don't give up big plays... 

 

CPA is going to be good, I'm sure. But the teams they have beaten aren't exactly anything that is overly convincing... If I looked at it right, CPA's opponents record combined is 8-16... while Milan's opponents overall record is 19-4.... 

 

With that being said, I expect the Milan defense to play a gritty game, but the loss of the starting QB in the Westview game will be too much for Milan to overcome in a short week. I look for CPA to win somewhere along the lines of 21-7....

You are right, teams CPA has beaten this year are all on the down side this year.  This game will be the 1st game played with a 3A opponent this season. So far starters out by half time of every game and the 2nd and 3rd string defense still doing a good job of keeping them out of the end zone.  D is not as large as in the past but very, very fast.  Starting D has only given up a FG so far.   Hope it is a good game and no more injuries.  IMO CPA scores alot more than 21.
