Game Preview: Muscle Shoals at Lee-Huntsville

Look for the Trojans to run past Lee
This game has some of the key ingredients of an upset.  1) It is the week after an exciting win as the Trojan locked up the Region Title.  Their first since 1988. Potential for a letdown.  2) It is the week before a huge rivalry game with Deshler. Potential to overlook. 3) The playoff position is determined and the game doesn't have an effect on seeding.  Potential for lack of motivation.   4) Lee has some individual athletes capable of making plays.  Potential to score by surprise. 5) Last year the Trojans won 44-7.  Lee hasn't won in the past 5 weeks.  Potential for overconfidence.  Yes - maybe the ingredients are there....but having ingredients and delivering the goods are two seperate things.  Potential and Actual performance can be two different things also.  Look for the Trojans to have the pride, talent, and the plan to punish the Generals.  This could be yet another Muscle Shoals game that is decided by halftime.  Maybe can see some of the future stars in the second half.  Advantage - a huge one - Muscle Shoals.
