Crosby at Vidor

[Realville]

Well there it is! Let the Yaping Begin!

[LCMAlumtiger32]

Will the Qb and fullback be  back?

[Tim Riggins]

As far as I’ve heard Galloway will play. Fullback Odom (#32), ran a few plays last night. One of which was a 67 yd TD run.

Crosby by 21

[LCMAlumtiger32]

I think if Vidor can hold on the ball and get a few turnovers for Crosby it should be a game. Only thing Vidor look like they struggled with was their secondary.

[purpleeagle]

I will go along with calprep's projected score.. Crosby43 Vidor 21

[#COUGAR08]

I think Vidor keeps this thing close till right before the half. Crosby moves on undefeated with a 42-24 win over the pirates.

[BMTSoulja1]

Evidential, Visor has gotten a lot better since I've seen them.  But at the end of the day, all Vidor has is the big FB, and he can go.  But  Vidor will fight and Matthews will have a few tricks, but it won't be enough.  

The MECCA - 45

Black Pearl - 24

Field will be a quagmire.  Vidor had quite a few fumbles.  Whoever wins the turnover battle will probably win the game.  For this game, I wish Vidor had store bought grass.  Lol, that’s  a simpleton projection, but it rings true for this game.  Crosby seems to have a little trouble with the Slot T.  That’s the only reason I give Vidor a chance.  I not sure any other team will challenge them, but that’s just what my senile old brain comes up with.  Could be wrong.

Well hopefully the Boneyard is in the 40% area that’s not getting rain! Wishful Thinking!

[chorizo]

Bottom line on paper Crosby blows vidor out,but in reality if vidor plays a great game they will win because Crosby will never havevthe ball!!if vidor falls behind its over!!!

[Cougar14.2]

Crosby has one turnover the entire season and has beaten two perennial title contenders in games where it rained at some point. Barbers Hill came into the Boneyard and beat Vidor 40-6 on a field in such poor condition they didn’t even allow their band to march. 

Crosby had trouble once with Vidor and now he coaches at Tomball. Last time Crosby played Vidor they only got to run 28 offensive plays, four of which were punts, and scored 33 points. Vidor ran 73 offensive plays and scored 22 points with no turnovers per the Chronicle. Once again, that defense was also a few notches below this one especially when it comes to run defense. Rain may help Crosby, Vidor actually threw for 84 yards last matchup.

Not saying vidor will win,just hoping Crosby looks past them..I’ll say this,Crosby won’t go undefeated,mark that down..if so I owe 14.2 a beer!!!

Sounds like you might have had a few already. LOL

[Realville]

Well we are definitely the underdog in this matchup and now the smallest school in the district with the realignment. I am not going to throw any previous years games out there to compare because this is a totally different team with a totally different mindset.To have a  chance to win I believe we need to be plus 2 in the turnover dept. with minimal penalties. The defense is playing great and there’s plenty of backs that can tote the rock including the QB. I believe the kids will be jacked for this game. Crosby will have to earn it. Should be an exciting game! Hopefully the weather will be halfway decent. Hate to sit in the rain 3 weeks in row! Lol

This is gonna be an interesting thread. Gimme some stays 14.2. What’s Crosby’s run defense like??

What Crosby's run defense has done vs other teams this year really doesn't mean anything. In those games you have to be prepared to defend the pass also.  There is a 99% chance that's not going to happen. So I'm not sure any presumptions can be drawn from previous game stats.  I am curious to see how the new defensive coordinator does against the Vidor.  

I wonder if TVC ever gets tired of typing Run, Run, Run,.....when giving Vidor game updates.

We may double our passing attempts average Friday Night by throwing 2 passes! Lol

I really don’t have anything for you statistically? Like CCRed says, rushing statistics aren’t necessarily comparable when you’re playing Vidor. I can give you my perspective though. 

In order for Crosby to make it a no doubter I think they need to turn Vidor over a time or two and hold them to less than 4ypc, anything short of that probably makes the game more interesting than Crosby fans would like. That’s factoring in bad field conditions, if it’s nice enough for Crosby to throw it around the yard I think things become tougher for the Pirates. To get close to answering your question I’ll say this run defense is as good as the one we leaned on to get to get to the semifinals. 

Against WOS in the rain Crosby ran for 333 yards on 48 carries and had five rushing tds scored by five different players. The reason I feel bad weather may favor Crosby is because Vidor does a bunch of misdirection/slight of hand type stuff that becomes more difficult with a wet ball. I honestly believe Crosby can pound Vidor into submission with the run game if need be which is one of the advantages of being this largest school in the district. 

What I would be concerned with most playing Crosby is that they haven’t come close to putting a complete performance together yet.

The players and coaches actually said the bye week hurt them more than helped them. It killed all of their momentum. Rio should have them focused for district. I thought the New Caney game was complete game but that’s jmo 

[ScubaSteve]

I’m worried about all those dang penalties we commit. It seems that we always have too many for the same old that things & new stupid stuff. 

Also, I’m sure hope we don’t spot them a lead.

BTW by looking at the satellite images of VHS field were the heck do you park? I never been there it looks like I need to be early & walk & walk & walk some more...

Go Coogs!
