It's finally here. Does "The Streak" continue? Or does the Golden Child, Tyler Russell, beat the Tigers?
5A State Championship â?? Who ya got?
- Thread starter DogStuckAtUM.sixpack
- Start date
Some might say that the USP winning streak is somehow "good for Mississippi" but i think their time has come. They have played sloppy football lately and barely win games. Meridian has played excellent defense the past few games and can obviously score with the best of them.
I take Wildcats. by at least a touchdown.</p>

I saw them play at Madison Central Friday night. They are good. Not great....but very good SP knew that they would win that game.
Of course MC had something to do with that...with 3 turnovers. Madison actually played a damn good game and matched up well with an O line that moved SP around some. QB had an okay night for him. WR and RBs did a good job even in the wet cold and rain. (They are all jrs and sophs so they will see the playoffs again next year. Only 2 srs on the squad.)I like SP to take this one, just because of the "been there" factor. Talent ....pretty even. Having seen Meridian only once.
Best $10 I've spent in a while!
BTW--The OL for Madison Central....according to one of them, MSU has not even contacted a single one of the. And Gosh DAMMIT one of them is a damn legacy. His Daddy played for MSU in the 70's and he wants to come! They are not all Ole Miss devotees!!! It makes me so effing mad everytime I talk with my source at the school....

you have to remember that SP who lost all but ONE OLineman from last year, all their D, most of their O, played at MC , in the wet cold weather(an equalizer), lost starters the whole 2nd half and still pulled it out. lots of things going against them. if parker comes back SP will win marginally since MC is weak against the run and the passing game of SP will keep MC D off balance.
no matter what happens, if SP was going to get beat anytime soon, it was going to be this year with last years graduating class. This is the game if its going to happen. next year the reloading of talent will have consummated and they will be stacked.

because the field is wet, makes it harder for either team to pass effectively(MC has 3 or 4 turnovers) and SP with their defense cannot pursue or check a potential tackle as aggresively in fear of slipping. the Offensive side and the Defensive side of the ball are equalled out essentially. with the home team and the underdog, the home team usually gets the tiebreaking nod in this case. they do run the ball most of the time but they are not one dimensional. even though the back up RB to parker, who was out all of the 2nd half, played well it forced SP to rely some on the pass which they were successful at doing but again the Defense was not able to be as aggressive as usual. this happens in high school, college and the pros with bad weather.cps36 said:
Peyton Johnson was rolling on the ground and the ball came out and they call it a fumble. Horrible.
and incorrectly said SP would loose a couple games this year. If anyone in this state could tackle Nick Parker they may have.
I am still taking Meridian. T. Russell puts on a show hopefully.

but you always want a game to be officiated correctly. Nonetheless MC overcame it and I thought they were going to win when they stopped South Panola and got the ball back.
MC threw three straight incompletions, which I don't know if they've done that all year. I know the last was an INT, but there was no way it was going to be completed.
That said, I thought MC played them the way you have to- play your game, play to your strengths and don't kiss their ***. That's what Bobby Hall will do, plus MC's team has a little swagger to, so they weren't intimidated. I hope we play them again next year because I think MC is going to build off of this and it's make them even better.
