GAME OF THE WEEK

Austin High at Westwood, 7:30 p.m. Friday

The Maroons have opened the season with a pair of victories, led by senior quarterback Jacob Morgan, who has thrown for eight touchdowns against only one interception. His top two receivers are Thomas Coffman and Cayleb Jones, who have combined for 502 yards and seven scores. After slipping past Harker Heights 34-31 in its opener, Austin High topped McCallum 34-13 Friday. The Maroons forced a combined seven turnovers in those two games.

Westwood opened the season with a disappointing 55-31 loss to Lake Travis, but the Warriors rebounded to beat Harker Heights 35-7 last week. Running back Princeton Collins, who has committed to Utah, has averaged 126.5 yards rushing, and he had a 46-touchdown catch against Harker Heights. In a close contest, Westwood might have the edge in kicker Jordan Williamson, who has committed to Stanford. He booted a 47-yard field goal in the loss to Lake Travis.

TAKE THREE

Three things you should be talking about this week:

1. Staying up late for a win. After a 21/2-hour weather delay Friday night, Smithville wrapped up its 28-12 victory over Wharton after midnight. The loss came in the season opener for Wharton, which had a scrimmage and a scheduled game against Rice Consolidated on Aug. 28 cancelled because of inclement weather.

2. Can Westwood slow down Austin High's pass-happy offense? Maroons quarterback Jacob Morgan has thrown for 644 yards in his first two games. Now he faces Westwood, which gave up 379 yards passing to Michael Brewer in a season-opening loss to Lake Travis.

3. Forecast calls for football, right? How do the teams sidelined by last week's stormy weather emerge from the unscheduled bye week? Did the break do them good or set them back?
