IMG at Oxbridge, Thurs Oct 13

[Captain Morgan]

IMG over anybody. You have to understand they have Alabama commits sitting on the bench. Think about that, nobody can even come close to that for backups. They certainly aren't the best coached but it really doesn't matter. The size and waves of athletes they can send at you take their toll. I actually wish no one would schedule them then we wouldn't have to worry about them but I don't see it happening.

Hate to say it but I don't see TCA slowing down IMG at all. Not the same team as years past. Long night and probably running clock as well. As I am typing this Ft. PIERCE UP 13 TO 0 OVER TCA at TCA home game. Turnovers and penalties are hurting this team. Long season for TCA.

I don't think anyone is worrying about IMG one way or the other. I see it as a good way to test your team's abilities by playing them. If your team can learn from the experience so be it. Just like in boxing, when you fight elite boxers you tend to become a better fighter in the process, win or lose. I'm quite sure that Oxbridge learned from their game and can utilize that experience in the 3A playoffs against teams that are definitely not IMG. I only wish the so-called elite larger Florida teams would schedule IMG.

I agree with Muckboy and others, I'd give the edge to IMG. STA would compete with them and could pull it off, but IMG would have to be favored. If STA had an elite qb it might be different, but I fear Allen would not handle the pressure IMG's D would bring.

 

STA's D would hold there own just fine though.

In 2015, I think there are probably 5 teams that can hang with or upset IMG on a good day.  I believe the only one in 2016 that would have a shot match-up wise would be STA.  Perhaps AHP if they keep making progress weekly...

TCA matches up well with IMG from a talent standpoint both inside and outside the box.  Their problem will be if they can't throw effectively.  If they aren't productive in the air, very balanced, they will struggle to score.  The other area that gives all high school teams trouble and is worth perhaps two scores per game is IMG's special team play.  Every time I watch them I am amazed at how good they are in that phase of the game.

It sounds like IMG was well prepared for Oxbridge...
