How often does SJO see the Triple Option?

Ended up not mattering but SJO was so-so vs. the Triple Option.

The problem was Andrew couldn't stop SJO's ultra fast tempo offense. SJO had to average 10+ ypp prior to putting in the subs.
Was 62-19 at one point with a running clock late in 3rd.

Final 62-33 - SJO

Shocker of the night has to be South Fulton losing. BT getting whooped by Carrollton a little surprising as well.

 

[1A Football Guy]

Any other surprises last night? Dixon losing was a shocker. Good win for Bago.

Bishop Mac getting blown out was a shocker. Peotone beating Manteno a mild upset but the blowout aspect was surprising

Yes that was another one. Luckily there are a couple big time week 9 match ups at the small school level. I think it’s gonna line up to be a doozy

I believe with the score something like 55-19 (already running clock), SJO ran a flea-flicker for a 30-yd TD pass. Discuss and/or correct facts?

It was 56-19, 3rd Q, SJO did pass for a TD to make it 62-19 with 2 minutes left in the 3rd, that's when the clock started, I can't remember if that was the flea-flicker play or not.

Your math and timing is off with the running clock. SJO didn't score once the running clock started. Andrew had 19 points at the half. 42-19 halftime score.

I mean, it's all been there in the playoff outlook and with the existing system of wins and then playoff points there's really no surprises outside of the few schools on the border of one class or another or north or south.

In 4A, for Morris, it's about the same path as last year, CPL team, Metamora, Geneseo or Sterling, and then Montini.

Fair just glad we finally have them. One hypothetical match up I saw and liked was Jersey and Olney I think Jersey beats the hell out of them

Finally? Souc been having projections for weeks.

Interesting to see that they're projecting CC to beat Wilmington this week.

I love souc. But NUICs small school is usually a little more on the nose than Souc’s. That’s not me saying he does a bad job. I just have a preference for NUIC.

I hope M-F goes south in 2A. If not has been mentioned the south will have JC as the big favorite
Also M-F handled a pretty good running team in Olympia last Friday

With the expanded system, looks like MF will be living in the North until a change happens.

Expected EPG to get through WL a little easier but maybe I'm underestimating WL.

Hope laying one on Mac was a surprise, what happened in that one

TV on a crash course to try and spoil EPG and Wilmington runs.

SJO will be playing the day after Thanksgiving.

Monticello struggling the past few weeks, could challenge SJO in a rematch but not sure the Sages make it that far.

Auburn could make a surprising run, similar to Athens and Pleasant Plains in the past.

Heyworth having a great season but are they good enough to play with Stockton and LeWin?

Then there is what seems to be the WIVC Bowl in 1A South lol

Will Althoff be 1A or 2A?

As of now the IHSA outlook has them as the 4th largest school in 3A.

Flea Flicker was run in the 3rd quarter.

I mean they aren’t wrong. The north is a literal battlefield while the south is sunshine and rainbows

Gonna have to beat the best anyway. May as well do it before state, right?

I hope you're referring to the gentleman in a Maroa t-shirt who said "would be the weakest 2A South bracket of all time"

Trolls they seem... in Macon County Trojan Land... Guess they're sick of hearing that when MF is also on the 1 line down south

They'll be please to know QND will be back soon! Can't wait for a rematch.

 

[Roamin' Catholic]

Like I said, I think it was a coy, tongue-in-cheek response to hearing that when MF is in the 2A south bracket every year. They can't enjoy hearing how weak it is year after year as they stroll to state and get thunder punched by the north representative... what like 78 times by now... You know it'll eat at the Nashville contingent hearing those things said too... proud bunch down there

 

[Roamin' Catholic]

If anything it helps us, the fans... earlier marquee matchups mean we aren't having to make tough decisions to go see the great games on semi-final weekend

Jokes in the past now... It's put up or shut up week for Calhoun against BC in the WIVC regular season final chapter... Let's discuss!

Also, Forreston are pretenders, right? We don't have to worry about any shenanigans against Stockton?

I didn't get to catch EPG against WL... I was at Chatham for QND/Glenwood... I'll refrain from expanding on that mess. lol
But my bro-in-law said EPG was pretty darn good. He didn't say much else other than 24-0 was best case scenario for WL.

Other big matchups worth noting that I've seen...
Tuscola @ Heyworth
Sullivan @ Villa Grove
THE Sangamo GOTY - Maroa @ Billville
I'll note St. Teresa @ St. Bede... could be interesting but I'll presume Bede by a lot having not seen the Massey projection or St. Bede on film this season.
Freeburg @ Red Bud
Frankfort @ Sparta
Astoria @ Abingdon
Fisher @ ALAH - Saturday
Pawnee @ South Fork - Saturday

 

[1A Football Guy]

I’d argue it’s put up or shut up for both Calhoun and BC. The BC hype train has been rampant this year and for good reason they have looked the part. Will be interesting to see how that game shapes out.

Forreston pretenders? You don't go 7-1 in the NUIC and be considered a pretender..

Only loss to Lena lol. Beat a very good galena team.

Knew we'd get a bite! I don't disagree sir. I'll just say that. But Stockton seems primed for a run, do they not?
Also, made that comment knowing Massey had Stockton by 2 scores.

I mean you beat CPC you get to toot the hype train horn a bit, imo.
