Barbe's D hasn't looked so got thus far. They have the best offense in the state, but that doesn't matter if they're on the sidelines. Barbe very well might blow them out. Choosing chalk all the time is boring though.


Exactly. The offense can't shine if they aren't on the field. A team like Acadiana is tailor-made to beat a team like Barbe. By pounding the ball with the veer and eating up the clock, they keep opponents' offenses on the sidelines.

I'm not sure how Acadiana is this season, but it seems like they always reload and have a new stable of workhorses that are always good for 5-6 yards a pop; and 5 hosses up front that maul defensive lines.

Acadiana is a decent team this year. Not anywhere near where they were in 2010, but they are still capable of beating a lot of teams. A LOT of youth on this team. They have something like 6-8 sophomores who play regularly, most of them starting. The QB is pretty talented, a Jr who is perfect at running the veer option and is capable of going the distance anytime he has the ball (He passed for 367 yds in the loss to New Iberia, that never happens). A sophomore TE who will be a major college recruit. Really the sophomore class at Acadiana is as talented as they come. This is not going to be their year though. They did do a good job against some really good teams but their youth shows a lot at times and they seem turnover prone on offense especially inside the redzone. They are capable of playing against anyone but ultimately their youth will keep them from winning the big games. The next 2 years they will have an incredibly good team.
