BIG COUNTRY PREPS GAME OF THE WEEK: Eastland, Clyde square off in Game of the Week (w/ Evan Ren’s Big Country Picks)

LAST WEEK: 48-20, .705
SEASON TOTAL: 48-20, .705

I’m not going to deny that I have an endless fascination with old-fashioned offenses. And I’m not going to deny that I’m a bit eager to see Eastland’s jump to the Wing-T after more than a decade of slinging the ball all over the field. 

But this has little to do with why Eastland (1-0) and Clyde (1-0) will be hooking up in our Big Country Preps Game of the Week.

The fact that both clubs are coming off quality wins — Clyde beating Cisco 43-42 in OT and Eastland stopping Coleman 21-6 — creates enough intrigue to snag the top spot. Add the fact that you have a modern spread offense going against an attack that was devised more than 70 years ago and you’re looking at a game with potential to get the spotlight. 

And courtesy of a beat-up Brownwood team, this contest made the top of our list.
