MUS VS Brentwood Academy

[WesVLT]

TSR7487...I don't recall WesVols making a prediction.  I think he was simply providing historical background between the two schools. 

 

You are right.  The past is the past; unfortunately, you don't respect the former coaches and players who have made this rivalry what it is.

Now I WILL make a prediction later in the week.

 

Other than Lawhorn, who seems to be on everybody's watch list, who makes MUS tick? What makes them so good?

 

Do they still run a spread offense? What is their run/pass ratio?

[FBALLER]

Good question... I dont know alot about them... Someone fill me in...

The QB, Park, is a big time player he runs and throws very well and can be very difficult to defend, MUS also has a reasonably big line-and it seemed the first time we played them they went only one way- but I could be wrong. Hopefully an MUS fan can give us more of a detailed report.

MUS is a two platoon football team. They are averaging 20.8 points per game and giving up 8.5. They have rushed for an average of 134.7 per game and given up 102.7. Passing 131.3 given up 97.6. So total per game are MUS 266 Opp 204. All of this info is from their website.

The Owl offense is good but how about mentioning those on the defensive side of the ball. The most points that they have given up in one game is 14 (7 of the points in the baylor game came from an intereception return). There just seems to be no weaknesses in them and I think that they will be the main reason the owls take home their first state title since 1985. MUS - 17 BA - 10

As a player on Mus, we have many people on our offense that make it work. All of our receivers are good, and also are runningbacks are quite good too. The line is something that has been a plus for us this year, because if any team played us last year we never ran the ball. But i am really looking forward to playing Brentwood, it is going to be a very hard fought game

Pretty solid analysis going on. BA is a running team. Almost 300 yards on the ground last week was huge against McCallie. The first game in Memphis, the Owls stuffed the Eagle running attack all night long. If they do it again, they win the game. Then again, no team has stopped BA's running attack over the past few weeks. Kottas is also a different receiver than last time these teams played. He has had big catches in almost every game since.

 

MUS is a more diverse offense, with a bit more reliance on the passing game than BA. If BA's corners come up big, I believe the Eagles will win. One big difference from last time is that with Cason and Schuyler playing linebacker, BA has a lot of speed at that position, and can give MUS some different looks on defense. There were even a few plays last week where the nose guard dropped back to play middle linebacker...unheard of for a BA team. (Middle linebacker...what's that??) This allowed the outside backers to play on the edges a bit more...something that will be much needed against the quick MUS offense.

 

Should be a great game. Hope we have some nice weather.

MUS better be throwing 5 yard stops.

I think the only big hit I saw in the first game was Griffin getting knocked on his butt over by the BA sideline and then he got up and shoved the MUS guy and got a 15 yard penalty.
