Can USJ finally get a gold ball?


Recommended Posts

Knox-first downs U 16 B 12; Rush yds U 23 B 88;pass yds U 271 B 115; U had 1 turnover as an interception from 10 Yd line about to score -also USJ had TD called back for holding-Briarcrest is a really good team and lots of talent-the game was a defensive struggle-very proud if the boys and Coach Bradley was pumped plus it was cool with Butch Jones on our sidelines!

Briarcrest is not in same division as USJ so not in path to playoffs.   Winner of SG/USJ game next week gets the 1 seed at top half of bracket and loser gets 2 seed in bottom half of bracket.     Briarcrest is a well coached D2AA team.   Their coach won a state championship at Jackson Christian and usually produces hard nosed, (pardon the expression-gritty), ballplayers.

While there is never a guarantee in a football game,  I would not want to be SG this Friday. And I would not want to draw USJ in round 1. JMOs.

Agreed.

 

FACS is a solid team and has had a very good season. But if I was a betting man -- actually, I am a betting man -- I would make USJ 14 point favorites for a rematch. 

 

USJ is playing at a very high level. After the very top teams like BA, Ensworth, Maryville, Alcoa and Oakland, I'd give USJ a chance against anyway in the state right now.

 

BPM, how do you like the Dogs chances in the playoffs? Rooting for y'all. 

 

Honestly, thought Milan was one "stud" player away from Cookeville (knowing the competition in 3A). After USJ beat Briarcrest, I'm thinking the Dogs might be pretty darn good.

Kublah I am rooting for you guys as well. Prior to our recent game I haven't seen USJ in several years. Very impressed.

 

This Milan team is very good. I have said this on some other threads but I honestly feel like this team is better than the '11 and '12 teams that were runner-ups. We just need to get over that Liberty hump and we proved we can play with them earlier in the year. Truth be told we are 7 points away from being 9-0 right now. We shall see how the playoffs go. Good luck to you all.

    • Honestly the A.D. may be powerless at Maryville to some degree versus other schools. I know he has his hands full with GoFan and all the stupid surprises just from the emails he sends out during the season.
    • Harriman was better than what I anticipated. They had good skill guys and a QB that’s gonna make a lot of teams look silly. They had some silly pre snap penalties but it’s just spring and I guess that’s expected.    Oneida looks the part. They are big upfront and got a stable of backs that’s gonna carry them this year. They have a few playmakers at receiver also. They have a new receiver that has only played basketball till this year and he is very athletic. The question is can we find a QB to consistently get them the ball. They played 2-3 kids there and none looked great but they didn’t look awful either. The  defense is gonna be tough again but it’s very early and a lot can change between now and the fall.     It was good just to get out and watch some ball. I don’t know if Oneida has the team to win the region this year but just what I saw tonight I think they may be in the conversation come November.
