BA- incomplete pass28-24 Baylor
1:09 to go
4th and 20 for Brentwood Academy. From their 20.
Emmitt Smith was 5’9”, and it didn’t seem to hold him back too much. Being short can actually help a running back. Short RB’s can be harder to spot behind the blockers.I ve asked around……small schools (FCS) have looked, but nothing yet.
I saw him a couple weeks ago and he was the best player on the field. Period.
5’8”?????
I’m not knocking it….just standing by him, not sure he’s 5’8”……Emmitt Smith was 5’9”, and it didn’t seem to hold him back too much. Being short can actually help a running back. Short RB’s can be harder to spot behind the blockers.
It use to be in Cookeville and Murfreesboro but during covid chattanooga was the only place that would let them do it.My thoughts after returning home from the game:
1. Congrats to Baylor on the win. They are a fantastic football team.
2. I’ve seen DGG twice in person and he is clearly the best HS running back I’ve ever seen in person. (Watching since the late 80’s) It felt like we kept him bottled up most of the night and he still had over 150 yards rushing. Absolute stud, we need him on the hill!
3. Do better TSSAA. What a dump of a facility and location for a state championship event. All state events should be held in Middle TN where travel is more centralized and teams don’t have to wait on busses half a mile up the street just to get into the stadium. Watching coaches and players walking around the block to stretch their legs is ridiculous. Hopefully the new titans stadium presents a permanent fix.
