D2 AA Upset Alert

BGA may be good, but they will not win at Lausanne unless they are awesome. Lots and lots of factors at Lausanne in addition to their players who are really really good.  Lausanne will negate any pass rush with speed from the RB and the QB.  Are BGAs LBs good? I understand BGAs DBs are good, but unless Lausanne hurts themselves with penalties (won't get called remember its at Lausanne) and really it's just turnovers, they win by 10.

BGA Lbs aren't great probably weakest part of the D. The other issue might be youth as they only start 2 Sr on D. Fortunately none of our lineman start both ways so they hopefully won't get too worn out. If BGA gets down early and Lausanne can just pound the ball BGA will be in trouble.

Lausanne offensive analysis:

1. Lausanne cannot throw a forward pass

2. Lausanne doesn't have to throw a forward pass

LCS has a ton of speed in the secondary but not necessarily the tightest coverage. BGA will move the ball well. I suspect this will be a decent matchup and a fairly high scoring affair, but Lausanne will have to make some mistakes for BGA to win. 

Side note: Lausanne is a pitiful visitor experience. Parking is a nightmare. Be ready to walk half a mile even if you take the shuttle. They have 3 row risers and visitor seats for maybe 100, of which 60 are directly behind your players and you can't see over them.

Yes, agreed. BGA will be able to throw the ball on Lausanne. Lausanne's coverage is boom or bust. Lausanne has a big home field advantage -- turf, stands, refs (it's Memphis), logistics, lighting, etc., etc.

The other thing that helps BGA is that Lausanne doesn't control the ball or clock on offense. Their O is three and out, three and out, 80 yard TD, three and out, 70 yard TD, etc., etc.

Lausanne has two players who are a threat to score from anywhere every time they touch the ball. That's so big as the fourth quarter hits, fatigue sets in, and reads and legs get a little slower.

This should be a great game.

Best thing BGA could do is what KWC suggested a couple of weeks ago.  Get there early and take over the home stands!  It's the only way they will be able to see the game and not get run over on the sidelines. 

u seat that Hillary down in sum co-opin moms quilt space and u gonna end havin to go all booger on sumbody

Lots of things to talk about here let’s see if I can hit everything. 

1. I wouldn’t say that Lausanne is unable to throw a forward pass now that their starting QB has returned, they just don’t do it extremely often because they have one of the best backs in the country next to him in the back field. 

2. Their lack of ability to control the ball has been a concern all year. It’s definitely something that I can see coming back to bite them in a crucial moment. 

3. Refs will not be from Memphis, that’s the way the playoffs work so that shouldn’t be an issue.

4. As far as the visitor experience goes, I completely understand the frustration, but as I have said previously there is nothing the school can do about the issue currently. Annoying? Absolutely. I do know that when the sheriffs were called over, the refs are the ones who requested them, it was not the school. 

5. Lausanne no longer co-ops so you shouldn’t have to worry about taking anyone co-op parent’s spot in the bleachers. 

6. Would definitely suggest the commissary for anyone wanting to grab some BBQ before the game. Though, you really can’t go wrong with any of the local BBQ joints around town.

Yep. Some of the other schools round town here in Memphis were none too pleased that they had a co-op and went ahead and shut it down. Unfortunately for them, it didn’t affect any outcomes on their region games this year.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
