Atticus Finch Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 3 hours ago, dntn31 said: One of the reasons that they don't drop that much is that for the past 5+ years no one outside of themselves has been able to beat MD or SJB - and that includes a fairly sizable list of OOS opponents: St. John's DC (x2) Bishop Gorman, NV (x2) Bergen Catholic, NJ Mililani, HI (x2) IMG Academy, "FL" Centennial, AZ SFA, "MD" Liberty, NV (x2) DeMatha, MD Don Bosco Prep, NJ OLGC, MD Miami Central, FL East St. Louis, IL Oscar Smith, VA Duncanville, TX The pollsters will more than likely continue to give them the benefit of the doubt until they lose to someone other than themselves. In the last 5 years, SJB has played these road OOS games. Mililani Oscar Smith Liberty St. John's St. Thomas Aquinas They lost one (St. Thomas Aquinas), almost lost another (St. John's) and who cares about the other three because they suck. SJB gives a good impression of risk-taking program while hardly taking any risks whatsoever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps there is another AZ team STA could visit... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, that’s the matchup to be made, I know MD has reached out STA. Hopefully the game gets made. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team matches up differently. Team performances vary throughout the season. We not only see Team A > Team B > Team C > Team A scenarios quite frequently, but also teams winning rematches all the time. It’s fine to believe IMG is the better team, but not for the reason provided. But does he? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badrouter Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 50 minutes ago, Atticus Finch said: What this game shows is what many of us have noticed-that these SoCal powers often don't bother to develop true, elaborate rushing attacks- can and will come back to haunt them against top defenses, especially in the red zone. SJB could move it within the 20s, but once they got down in a condensed field, they couldn't run the ball when they needed to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
