LOCK: Mustang bounces back vs. Lawton Ike, 45-33...

Giving up 52 points is definitely alarming, but something tells me that Mustang is going to be able to bounce back in the first round against Lawton Eisenhower.

I can’t get a good feel about the Eagles. Are they more like the team that shut out Edmond Memorial 35-0? Or are they more like the team that was blanked by Midwest City 28-0? Or (most likely) are they a combination of the two? A team with great promise but also with some flaws.

I’ve been a fan of RB Louis Durant for a long time, dating back to a scrimmage at Edmond Santa Fe when he was a junior. The health of QB Adrian McDonald is a concern. Ya figure he should be back, but the Broncos might be able to touch him up.

But the real reason I’m picking Mustang is because of David Glidden. I just don’t see him going out with a home playoff loss. QB Brandon Taylor has put up ginormous numbers. Some might say he’s just a product of what the Broncos do, but you still need to execute.

Glidden can make a play in so many different ways. He can be receiver, defensive back, returner and is dynamic in all three positions.

Also think this has to be a pride issue with that defense. Everybody (myself included) always says it’s just a track meet between Mustang and whoever it’s playing. The games will end at 11 p.m. because there is no pretense of defense in their games.
