Biggest game in state no doubt!

Montgomery rush vs Brenham D, Edge: Montgomery (Waller got 194 rushing yards against Brenham, Dobbins and House should do well) Montgomery pass vs Brenham D, Edge: Tie (Bolfing will complete passes but probably wont throw often due to pressure from Brown and Cole) Brenham pass vs Montgomery D, Edge: Tie (Montgomery has a strong enough secondary to limit the effectiveness of Schlottman's arm. He was pressured a lot last year, but you know Edwards and Moore will make a play happen at some point) Brenham rush vs Montgomery D, Edge: Montgomery (Montgomery's defense is very disciplined and was able to limit waller to 72 rush yards, so Green will be limited. The key for Montgomery is to have their DE's contain Schlottman from scrambling for first downs.) Special Teams, Edge: Brenham (Montgomery has been susceptible to long kick returns, and Brenham is tremendous at returning kicks, if Brenham can take one to the house, Montgomery could be in trouble. Plus, Brenham can kick field goals while Montgomery really cant. If brenham's D can stop Montgomery on 4th down in the redzone, and Brenham's offense can get them in range, Brenham's ability to make field goals could be crucial in a tight game.) Montgomery's ability to run and stop the run will be the difference maker in a very tight game.

Im not saying theyre gonna put up 50+, im just saying its gonna be hard to keep him out of the endzone this year. He will get 2 TDs and Goodwin will catch one, while Green will get a rushing TD and either Edwards or Moore will get a recieving TD.

You did lose Reese though, while Montgomery returns 3 of 4 DBs (the new DB is playing better than the one last year). So that essentially negates the addition of moore. Crosby kept Dobbins out of the endzone last year, how did that workout this year? Bolfing's INT was against Huntsville off a tipped pass by the way. And he completed 11 of 16 last year. Goodwin will not be against Hubert, he will be covered by either an OLB or a Safety because their TE's lineup in the slot. Brown is outstanding and will draw a double team, and Cole will probably be blocked by Dobbins who is one the best pass-blocking RBs in the state if you watch his film.

Reasons why Montgomery will win: a. Both offenses were limited to 1 TD last year, the deciding TD was a fumbled pitch due to a miscommunication in the O line. Montgomery has discovered new weapons this year (Alex Peppe, Tevin House), so they could help give more production for the Montgomery offense than they had last year. b. Both defenses are outstanding. The Montgomery secondary can keep their passing game in check, so most of Brenham's offense will have to come from Troy Green and Schlottman scrambling. And if this game comes down to a battle of rushing, Dobbins and Montgomery win that battle. c. Montgomery TE Josh Goodwin will have a big game. If Brenham is going to slow Dobbins, they are going to stack the box. That gives matchup issues in the passing game with a tall Goodwin. d. Last year, Schlottman was able to scramble when the yards were needed. Montgomery has proven they can stop dual threat QBs against Crosby and Spring. This is undoubtedly the biggest game in Montgomery Football History, so the fury that the Bears will play with along with factors listed above, I just see Montgomery edging them out.
