PERKINSTON — Mississippi Gulf Coast rose to No. 2 in the NJCAA rankings earlier this week, and the Bulldogs will use the extra time during Homecoming Week to prepare for another option attack.

Southwest visits A.L. May Memorial Stadium on Saturday, with kickoff set for 2 p.m. It's the second option offense Gulf Coast has faced this year, three weeks after beating Holmes 41-7.

"I think there's some carryover because you've seen the formation, you've seen similar types of motion," Gulf Coast head coach Jack Wright said. "You've seen similar types of thought processes. There is some carryover, but it's still very difficult to simulate that in practice and get the defense to recognize how they're being attacked."

The game will be streamed at https://livestream.com/accounts/5943231/events/8839546.

Gulf Coast, which is tied for first in the MACJC South with East Central, has moved up from a preseason ranking of 12th during its 5-0 start. It's the highest since a 3-0 start had the Bulldogs ranked first on Sept. 17, 2013.

There will also be a slew of Homecoming activities going on around the game. A full rundown and information on tickets for the events can be found at http://mgccc.edu/homecoming. Gulf Coast is 54-34 in Homecoming games, including winning 11 of the last 13.

Southwest (0-5, 0-3 MACJC South) has a pair of outstanding sophomore linebackers in Tamos Stevenson, from Holmes County Central, and Damarcus Mitchell, from Thibodaux. Wright says they're physical, get to the ball fast, and get runners down when they get there.

The Bears' present some different wrinkles with their version of the offense.

"They do a really good job of creating space in the passing game off what they present with the option," said Wright.

Gulf Coast has been concentrating on improving the offense's flow, getting substitutions made faster, streamlining communication and moving forward from negative plays.

One weapon Wright loves using is running back Shaun Anderson (So., Picayune/Picayune). He's averaging 7.4 yards per rush and 9.0 yards per reception. Wright calls him Pocket Hercules, with Anderson mixing a blend of speed and power that had one announcer exclaim, "Good Lord," over the public address system in the middle of a long touchdown run.

"He's got great hands," Wright said. "He's extremely tough and fast running back. We really didn't know how good he was until he lights came on Thursday nights. He gets out there and always seems to break a tackle.

"Even though he's not the biggest guy, on the goal-line the other night at Co-Lin, he muscled out a touchdown from the 1-yard line when a safety had a really good squared-up hit on him. Shaun has a surprising amount of strength for his size."
