Thousand Oaks may have cracked The Times’ Top 25, but I think Moorpark is going to assert itself tonight as the team to beat in the Marmonte League this season.

The Musketeers’ gutsy performance against a very good Notre Dame squad last month proved they’re one of the best teams in the Northern Division thanks to a hard-nosed defense that has surrendered an average of 30 yards rushing a game -- that’s bad news for John Lister-reliant TO. And even though a lot has changed since last year, I’m sure Moorpark will keep him under control like they did in 2007 (Lister was held to 31 yards).
