Not happening Airline's defense is really damn good. Although, they didn't play up to par against Byrd this past week.

Also, helps when you got a quarterback that's started every game since his Sophomore season.

STM is very balanced on offense
They have a 2800 yd passer and a 800 yd rusher against one of the toughest schedules in the state

They lost in week one to sulphur on the road but that was after the hurricane when they only had one practice that week

They lost on the road to central, gave one away against evangel and have been on a roll since then

Supahtigah, wishful thinking saying STM will meet Neville in the dome. Absolutely no way STM gets past Karr. STM will be lucky to get past St. Aug. Pretty sure St. Aug wants revenge from 2010 quarterfinal loss. Of course STM has been on a roll since the L to Evangel. STM has ONE quality win and that was against Teurlings. If Coach Hightower wouldnt have channeled his inner Les Miles, STM wouldnt have beaten Barbe. Who have they played since- no one. Every player on that team thinks they are the sh*t. From Bergeron to Juneau to Kelly to Laborde. STM will be humbled by either St. Aug or Karr. Bergeron struggled against Karr last year. If it wasn't for M. Flores and Jon Juneau keeping STM in the game, Karr would've blown them away. Don't blame their week one loss on Isaac. I blame it on Bergeron throwing 3 INTs. Central beat them and so did Evangel. No way STM makes it past Karr.

WM slept walk through the game with Ruston and won 35-0. I expect SL to win, but then Ouachita will beat SL in the 2nd round.

Im not sure West Monroe will get by Acadiana.
