#1 NASHVILLE CHRISTIAN AT #2 USJ

[USJalum88]

We really wonder how we stack up against the middle Tennessee teams. I believe they will be better than we already thought. I just hope we start the game better. We cannot keep waiting till late in the third to start playing.  I expect a great game.

Help me out here BPM... trying to get the training wheels off these sidewalk sissies and teach them to discuss their team on the 'T!

I stand corrected on the DII timing, they did come over in 2017 and the last few came over this year (USJ is the one new to the region, thus the mixup). They certainly have not been quite as successful since the move and have nowhere near the athletes they had in 14-15-16, but seem to have adjusted and are faring better this year. DA has certainly been a formidable opponent for them since the move, but after losing so much to graduation, NCS bested them in their early season matchup. Those two teams will be USJ's opponents the next two weeks and those matchups should start to clarify the traffic jam at the top of the region standings. 

As to the statements of tradertwo, we have not had the pleasure of any postseason rematches in the first couple of years with this coaching staff. I am hoping that what you say is correct, as the rematch is always the more important of the two. This is a two way street as well. Beating a team once is one thing, but beating them a second time is a much bigger challenge.

I still think turnovers are the key to this game. Every game to date for the Bruins has been heavily affected by turnovers, either for or against. The Bruin secondary has ballhawks, with double digit INTs through 5 games. If USJ is able to slow the ground game and force obvious passing situations, that can prove to be a major advantage.

They gotta loosen up the sweater vester. Too tight..... restricts blood flow to the brain.

No sweater vests at USJ. We lounge around in ancient Greek robes while being fanned and fed grapes. 

Of course this should leave plenty of time for posting on the T

Agreed. Hopefully the first half against CA was a wake-up call, as that was a very tough team to be winless.

These two along with Fayette Academy are the three undefeated teams in Division II-A West play. USJ has played well behind quarterback Andrew Smith, who stepped into the role after starter Cody Smith got hurt in Week 2. Nashville Christian is giving up 11.8 points per game, while USJ is giving up 8.2.

Shields' pick: Nashville Christian 27, USJ 20

Odom's pick: Nashville Christian 35, USJ 31

All that USJ wants is a first down anyway.
