Booker T. Washington at Carl Albert
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Jim Harris Stadium, CA

BTW
Why the Hornets can win: Feels like I’ve beaten you into the ground with this. However, when you have that type of talent, that’s why they can win. And I feel the team has responded to new coach Darrell Hall and won’t miss a beat.

CA
Why the Titans can win: Because for what it appears they lack in individual talent, they have in the team aspect and a tremendous tradition. There are still studs on this team like Anthony Frazier, Kyle Croak, Quincy Johnson and Dwight Dobbins, they’re just not the four- or five-star recruits we’re used to at CA.

Quote:

People aren’t really talking about us, but that’s OK. We’re just going to go out there and take care of business.” – Dobbins

Key matchup: Carl Albert running game vs. BTW defense. If the Titans win, it’s going to be because of the running game. Kenton Whittington and Tyre LeBlanc will have to have big games against Derrick Alexander and the rest of the Hornets.

The pick: Booker T. 24, Carl Albert 20. Tough to ask this Titans team at this time to play BTW. Hornets have more experience coming back and are hungry after what happened last year. CA is not in trouble, by any means, but it will take a little longer for things to start clicking.
