2019 HBCU D1 Game Picks - Week 9


I like you breakdown/analysis of the match-up better than Mr. SWAC Ball Z (@LuvTheBoom16 )

It's true. I'm a big fan of Harper since watching him perform flawlessly against us. His 18TDs and 2INTs are not accidental. The coaching staff and offensive playcalling has put him in a position of success, coupled w/ all-world WRs that will go up and get anything tossed their way.

The ONLY reason I'm going w/ Alcorn St vs SU is because Alcorn's QB can throw, makes good decisions, and he's very elusive.

SU, although it has a strong and dominant ground/pound game, hasn't shown that superior Skelton can get it downfield accurately and precisely. Seems kinda' one-dimensional to me and I'm not too sure how much success one can have being one-dimensional at just running the ball unless clock control is the primary objective.

SU's OL vs Alcorn's DL will be a hella' matchup because both are physical. SU's DL vs Alcorn's OL will also be a hella' matchup because both are physical.

I gave the edge to Alcorn STRICTLY on the nifty lefty's ability to get the ball downfield accurately and concisely in a timely manner. He makes good judgment decisions so I think SU's secondary will be tested (again). I don't think SU will be able to run the ball on Alcorn. Special teams play could possibly come into play but both are evenly matched, imho.

I've seen both and those are my personal opinions.
And all God's people say "Amen". Great analysis.
 
Bruh we got a problem this week.

How we gone handle this?

Depends on which JSU defense shows up. Since Hendrick has taken back over defensive game planning I've seen spurts of dominance. We will either win by less than a touchdown or yall will blow us off the field by 3 TDs. We match up well with PV along the lines.
 
If we find a way to win this even though we aren’t favored and shouldn’t..... that’ll be two years and Hendrick will have owned y’all.

I feel that PV had a hand in delivering the head coaching gig to Hendrick w/ that dominant showing by JSU last year.

Our team is undisciplined but they play pretty physical. Rattle the QB lol and own the OL, JSU wins.
