Oakland has a lot of good football players. Their defense looks like three down linemen and eight fast linebackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSSAAdaddy Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Looks like a nice matchup. Dilfer's recruits against Buck's recruits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBfan26 Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Oakland will control the clock that’s the key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEVEN Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 I'm going to predict it will be closer than most are thinking. I don't see a running clock. Honestly I hope it's close. Gets old seeing them mercy rule just about every opponent on the schedule. I haven't been over to Ray Hughes and a couple of years, but plan on making this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog89 Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 FWIW. Milan scrimmaged LA this year and they reminded me a lot like Alcoa with a better passing game talent wise. Granted it was a scrimmage but they had talent all over field. They didn’t really have a lot play both ways from what it looked like but not great numbers. I saw Oakland when they played on tv against the MS team and they can definitely match LA. I think their depth will ultimately take over. Just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA guy for Milan is lifelong best friend and I usually make it to at least one a year. Really wanting to see the new lights and scoreboard.

Yea they really have put on all the bells and whistles to our stadium. Looks great. He does a good job getting our crowd going. Now we just need to win a few games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaddy Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Oakland will win by a minimum of 3 TDs. I Concede that DL has done a great job recruiting some of the best athletes in the state, but they are not in the talent league with Oakland. The irony is the Oakland has had several transfers from private schools over the las few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The families that are moving in are visiting each program and making a decision in their best interest. Nashville is a magnet and we have great schools in both public and private. This is going to be a fascinating match-up. Can someone expand on the Oakland D? I saw 3 undersized DL and 8 fast linebackers as a description in an earlier post. What is their offensive mix between James and Horton? Lipscomb will likely put up points, but can Oakland control the game with a CPA style?
