HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 5 Greenbrier at No. 9 Morrilton

Morrilton's 28-point win at Greenbrier in Week 6 last season catapulted the Devil Dogs to nine straight wins and a state title. But youthful Morrilton (only six returning starters) lost their opening two games by a combined 85-34 in 2014 before rallying past Class 6A Searcy 35-28 a week ago. Morrilton senior Terrance Minor ran 22 times for 274 yards and three TDS against Searcy, while QB Jalen Wright rushed for 143 yards and two TDs. "Our offensive line is improving," Morrilton coach Cody McNabb says. "Maybe we grew up in the second half last week. At least we overcame some adversity." The Devil Dogs have surrendered special teams TDs and allowed the opponent's defense to score this year.

Greenbrier started the season 2-0 but lost at Benton last week 52-32. Greenbrier led 14-0 in the first quarter but trailed 38-26 at halftime. The Panthers alternate senior Will Drewry and junior Harold Ross at QB. Drewry completed 14 of 28 passes for 183 yards at Benton. Senior Carson Matthews has rushed for more than 300 yards this season. Matthews lines up at running back and slot receiver. Senior Tyler Bush paces the Panthers in tackles this fall, and senior tackle Sam Colbert anchors both lines. "Benton was big, physical and shut down our running game," Greenbrier coach Randy Tribble says. "We couldn't get anything going on offense."  Watch highlights of Greenbrier's Week 3 loss at Benton here.
