FOOTHILL (0-1) VS. TUSTIN (0-1)

Site, time: Tustin High, Friday 7 p.m.

Outlook: Your Frankly Fryer pal picked both of these teams to win last week, but Foothill was overwhelmed by Dana Hills, 36-14, and Tustin had its big lead disappear against Kennedy, 31-28. Kennedy was able to throw the ball to make its comeback, and Foothill has passing-game potential, too. A big reason a passing team has a significant advantage over a non-passing team in high school football is that the non-passing team has a difficult time mimicking the passing-team opponent in practice, making preparation quite a challenge. Tustin is better than last year, and will improve as the Tillers achieve the rhythm needed to effectively run their double-wing offense. But Foothill might be the better team this week.

Winner: Foothill
