Which was the best team we've sent to the Celebration Bowl?

Please state reason for your choice.

Personally, I would say this 2018 team is our best one.

Passing game is more dynamic than 2017 with the emergence of Leslie and D-line is definitely better.

Of the three, I would say 2015 was the worst ... even with Tarik.

Truth be told, Broadway got out-coached by Hopson for most of that game but he got bailed out by Tarik's big plays. We were up 24-6 and took our foot off the gas.

2018 ....while 2017 team had some solid transfers (smith, Scott) the maturing of some of the players has outweighed the 2017 transfers. Johnson and Leslie are best examples

[bluehaze]

2017 had a better offense with Trey Scott at tight end and the speed of Capel
2018 has a better defense
You couldn't punt the ball to Gardin in 2017, now it's an adventure just to field the punt
Season ending injuries to McCain and Carter
Give me 2017

Which was or is the best team we've sent to the CB ? The ones that won the CB ! They are the best . Because for me each team had certain advantages and disadvantages that made them distinct in there own way .

This year's team would beat 2015 by 3 touchdowns.

For me it's the 2017 team ,12-0 speaks for itself .

This team is deeper and better than last year's team.The 2018 team is the best by far. The shut out of NCCU really says what this team is made of.

2017 was Broadway's hard work coming to fruition. The discipline, humbleness, focus, and talent all came together to create a perfect season. This year we have not lived up to our potential in some of those areas even though on paper we should be more talented than last year.

[Bornthrilla]

2015 definitely had the best special teams.

I say 2017 because the 80% of the players on 2018 were on the 2017 team. The 2017 team could have been more explosive but, Broadway wouldn't release the shackles to some degree. And 2017 didn't have many weaknesses in all phases of the game. The 2018 team has a major weakness in the punt return game which, they are resigned to fair catch all punts. That takes away some of the potential explosiveness for the 2018 team.

2017 for me.

1. Better pass-protection with Brandon Parker at LT. The GHOE sack that put Lamar out doesn't happen with a man who never gave up a sack in 4 years.
2. Better intermediate receiver production from Jacquil Capel & Trey Scott that kept chains moving (our biggest weakness this year, IMO). We're likely 11-0 right now if these guys are still here.
3. Better punt return ability with Khris Gardin (game-changer).
4. A healthy Mac McCain (including the CB) and more consistent DB play (up and down this year, despite the talent).

And maybe the most critical... having basically 3 head coaches on the sideline in 2017 (Broadway, Hester, Washington) compared to only one in 2018 (Washington).

It just underscores why it's so hard to win championships in football. So much changes from year-to-year. And it's even more impressive to repeat an outright title, even when we feel the talent obviously SHOULD win it.

But to be fair Broadway did not have QB that could spread the defense keep the safety not lining up 10 guys on the box.. We could not had beat Grambling last year with Quick being the QB.


Cohen just bailed us out. Carter coming in and threw that interception before half really hurt us before the half.

[trues]

I think this year team is more dangerous than last year just because most of the guys was just here from last year. Alcorn on the other hand I bet there is just a handful of guys on this team that remember coming to the celebration bowl in 2015.



Man if we have McCain this would no doubt be the best team because of the experience.
