Smackover/Prescott

[Smackover Fan]

Prescott will likely try to throw some, but Smackovers defensive secondary is as good as they have been in recent memory. I predict a 30 something to 30 something game. Most work coming from the ground on both sides. Difference maker will either be Smackover winning with depth at running back or Prescott winning with size. Smackover by a score for me.

[Proud Buckaroo]

Prescott has a 6'8" quarterback?? 😳

Honestly. I'm more concerned about them hitting home runs. I hope the bases aren't loaded.

[WHITEchicken]

Even 2 on would be a problem.

[Horse Shoe]

I'm a long time reader and brand new poster. I can tell you nobody is scoring 35 on Prescott D.
Prescott has a 6'8 QB and really big receivers who catch and block very well. Prescott will pound those small D- linemen with our backs and when it's second and short will hit Cox or Glass with a homerun when you least expect it

Foreman said the same thing.  They thought their D was rock solid too. No way our little guys could beat their big guys.

[Maynard G Krebs]

He is 6'6". But whose counting?

2 inches makes a difference

[Proud Buckaroo]

That's what she said.

Which team have you played that can throw anything like Prescott?

[Horse Shoe]

Centerpoint is the only team that has really tried to pass some.  I haven't seen Prescott's passing game, so I'm not going to try to find a fault there.  I do know we have the speed to cover.  But, if the Wolves have some height at the receiver position, and the quarterback is having an on night, it could spell trouble for the Bucks. Harding wore us out once with those tall receivers.

[snoopy22]

Prescott's QB Ryan Johnson is the same height as an old Arkansas Razorback QB with the same first name, Ryan Mallett, 6-7.

[BuckHead]

Prescott won't be able to stop Turner. If he would've played the 3 and a half games he's been off the field this year he would lead the entire state in rushing from class 2A-7A. Look at the rushing leaders. He has almost 600 yards rushing on less than 25 carries this year. Nobody here knows that though. Lol

[Linebacker]

No doubt Turner may be really good. But it will take a lot more than one player to beat Prescott.

[BuckHead]

Of course it will but Smackover is loaded. Look out for the Modica brothers, Crockett etc. Will be a good game but I think Smackover wins it. Turner is just as good at linebacker too.

HA wana bet young buck? Don't be stupid. Both teams will score, it will come down to the defense and which one does better. Plain and simple.

As of now do you know where the state leading rusher resides. Hint: mascot is Colts ..

C- Wolves 28

I know last week our passing game took a step forward. Boone made one of the best passed I have ever seen him make on a fade route that was perfect. He is getting better every game. What does the Wolves have on the defensive side? Many going both ways?

Dude you played Horatio. I'd look good throwing against them.

[Linebacker]

Sounds like Smackover players play both sides of the ball. If so it will be a long night for Smackover. Hard to play both sides for 4 quarters when you play a team with tradition like Prescott has.

What does playing both ways have to do with tradition?

[LilFro]

Prescott by 14

[CoolBreeze]

You must get especially tired playing against it.

[Linebacker]

Tradition has everything to do with it. Look around. It’s not rocket science

[snoopy22]

Smackover seems to be very confident.

If Prescott doesn't play many both ways then that is called depth and it is a huge advantage. Tradition is Smackovers chain gang being tougher than Prescott's coaches.

[Linebacker]

Ok I guess Alabama winning tradition has nothing to do with Alabama or Nick Saban? Just like experience and old age doesn't have anything to do with knowledge?

Are the other teams Bama is facing playing players both ways?

[Linebacker]

Do the players from Smackover go to school for an education? Or play ball for a tier 2 school?

[jay nelvin]

BLUF, neither team has played good competition up to this point.  I have seen both teams play in person, and believe it will come down to line play, which I think Prescott has the advantage.  Not many, if any, Prescott players play both ways, which should benefit them as well.  I think Smackover is very good, but I think our dline will present some problems Smackover hasn't come close to seeing yet.  If you don't have depth on your lines, which I didn't see during the JC game, I could see that being the difference in this game.

[jay nelvin]

Obviously the turnover battle will be huge as well.

I agree, especially if it is warmer Friday like the weather is supposed to be.

[Proud Buckaroo]

Let's be be honest here....

This will probably be Prescott's first test. In conference play.. neither team has played anyone that could challenge them. Conditioning won't be an issue for Smackover. Like I said. It will either be a shootout or a close defensive game.

You can't condition enough to compensate playing twice as many downs as an equal or better opponent on a warm night.  If that is the case it show on the line of scrimmage in the 2nd half with a missed block here and a missed tackle there.

[Linebacker]

Playing both ways is a factor when playing a good team. Especially in the second half on the road. It is a lot easier playing one way. Both teams are very good.

[WHITEchicken]

I agree depth is a big advantage if you have it. Passing I was talking about against centerpoint. It doesn't mater who you are playing a perfect pass is a perfect pass. No one would have had a play on the ball. I would say JC was a test. I'm ready for Friday. Oldman what do you mean about smacks chain gang...haha

How old are you? If you don't know ask around.

Surely you're not attempting to make the comparison of Alabama tradition to anything in Prescott?

Prescott traditionally isn't anything special...it's not 1975 any longer.

[Proud Buckaroo]

How old are you? If you don't know ask around.

He's old enough to know the situation. But he wasn't around smackover at that time.

Don't worry. Game is in prescott though 😅

You are ignorant my friend, go back and do a little reasearch on Prescott since 1975.

[ROULETTE]

In my experience, it's usually about this point in the year that players start to get into "game shape".  The only way to get in game shape is to play games. But with that in mind, in a tough fought game up front, depth on the D line never hurt anyone

[panther07]

Agree 100%. Both teams offenses and defenses are going to be worn out by the final buzzer.

Nostradamus

Let's not act like Prescott is something they're not.

"Tradition" in Arkansas is reserved for such schools as Greenwood, Pine Bluff, Central, etc. When speaking about high school football in Arkansas, Prescott is a long ways down the list, as is Smackover.

[WHITEchicken]

So is Prescott's qb good or does he just have a big arm and is big?

He is good, very fast.

Another ignorant remark, as you didn't even mention Nashville  which is the state's best in playoff wins.
BTW Prescott is around eight on that list with 64.

[WHITEchicken]

Really good? Is he getting looks? He should be getting looks from the hogs if he's really good because they could use a qb.

[jay nelvin]

First year playing the position, previous two years he started at safety.  Amazing track athlete.  Much respect for Boone, I think he is a really good QB.  Modica brothers really impressed me too.  Haven't seen Turner in person, but hear he is the real deal.  Wish I were home to see this one, but will be tuned into the Buckaroo sports network.
