The playoffs are finally upon us!
In 2015, SWE hosted EB in the second round. EB opened the game with a kickoff return for a TD, but from there it was all SWE as they cruised to a 40-20 victory. Today's matchup, again hosted by SWE, features a more powerful version of the Cougars, while the visiting Eagles come to town with a worst record than before, but are playing their best football at the right time.
The Eagles started off 0-3, but those three teams, Clinton, Wallace Rose-Hill, and Whiteville, could have made anyone 0-3. They are 5-2 since then, and have done it by running the rock. They boast a 1,300 yard rusher and a 500 yard rusher. Their detriment, however, comes from a lack of a passing attack. For the season, they are 7 of 27 for 125 yards passing. That's not gonna cut it against the run defense strength of the Cougars. Neither is having one day to prepare for SWE's own rushing attack taken away. Even though EB runs a variation of the wishbone, SWE runs it to perfection. Two 1,000 yard rushers sprint from the backfield that gains 300 ypg, while a total of 6 different backs have 25 or more carries. And for the second year in a row, SWE has gained more than 1,000 yards through the air. EB will have its hands full. Initially, I was worried. But after digging deeper, I'm confident that it may not be close.
In-game updates as usual.
