Crosby vs Liberty Hill - Predictions

[Cougtalk]

This one has knots in my stomach and it's Saturday before the game. Need our defense to play amazing next week. Not sure we can hang 63 on this Liberty Hill team like we had to last year but we will see. 

Feelings?

can we get the crew that did the Alamo heights game? Weren't afraid to throw the not set for 1s flag.

No joke!

[Cougtalk]

It's so hard to view anything from the Alamo Heights game because they play 7 down linemen and try to run a read option scheme.

Liberty Hill's runningbacks might be faster across the board than last year. 

They do not have that huge kid from last year playing runningback

lots of gimmick kickoffs.

I'll edit once, time location and date are known. 

 

Feelings? 

One thing is for sure imo.  This will not be a low scoring game. Should be a good game.

No, but they do put #10 in at fullback throughout the game an he is a wrecking ball. I believe he plays middle linebacker full time. I believe he’s committed to West Point Academy an will be playing for Army.

I’m just going to leave this here, hopefully I won’t need a defibrillator this year:

Man Alamo Heights has to be kicking themselves for losing this one. 

2 failed XP, Onside kick not even attempted to be fielded...

Wow I didn’t know it had been 60 years since Crosby went to the State Championship. I am kinda new to posting on this board but I’ve followed the board for many years. I was under the assumption that Crosby goes to the State Championship all the time by the way you talk about Crosby on this board. Lol Good Luck to the Cougars! 

[Cougtalk]

Offensively we are so different from Alamo Heights that this is incomparable but if you learn anything from the game. Make your XP's, Don't give up cheeky onside recoveries, and throw the ball. The weakness of this LH defense is clearly their cornerbacks. 

[Cougar14.2]

Looking at the Liberty Hill offensive personnel #21, who came in as a freshman last year when the FB broke his leg, has taken the place of their big stud back #42. He’s very good but he’s not at the level Blake Simpson(#42) was yet. #6 is the secondary back similar to #20 from last year who also graduated. He’s nowhere near as fast as #20 was but he’s bigger and runs more physical. 
 

They’re highly dependent on Noah Long(#21) this year and don’t look to have the balance they did last year with that senior heavy squad at the skill positions. The slot-T is our kryptonite but LH is a little smaller on the o-line than they even were last year and as dominant as our front seven was last night I’m not going to doubt their ability to handle their business. 
 

LH’s defense isn’t very good but if we have multiple pre-snap penalties and compound those with holding calls like we did against TH then we’re probably going to make their defense look better then it actually is. Rouse and Alamo Heights had great days throwing the ball against them in the last couple of rounds and don’t have near the run game the Panthers will have to defend against Crosby. We should be able to get the offense back on track this week if we play as clean as we have been before last night.

I watched the game last night. LH never kicked a on side kick. Their kicker just kicks a lot of in between pooch kicks which puts the receiving team in uncomfortable receiving positions. LH ‘s kick offs are definitely awkward.

Recently they’ve been pretty good but matchups weren’t in their favor, some of those teams they matched up with are now 6A Div 1.  Now, I don’t think anyone matches up well with that Liberty Hill offense.  Next week will be a tall task.

Nah, the recovered kick is a 12 yard pooch kick that they had a gunner on that side of the field. It looks more random than it is, they used a very similar kick last year with us. That's their version of an onside it's like a 12-15 yard kick that's up in the air and in-between the front and second line.

Lol, you’re lying about “following the board for many years” then. Anybody that’s been on here for a month would know Crosby’s playoff history. 

[Unwoke]

LH’s defense is definitely not dominate at all but they seem to make stops when they need too. Looking forward to watching this game.

I said I’ve followed this board for many years . I didn’t say I’ve read every single post made about Crosby. Lol

You could be right but the kicker seems to pooch kick everything. Lol

Lol, so you just read my posts and skip over everything else in the threads? Doesn’t make any sense, otherwise how would you know “the way I talk about Crosby on this board”?

I don’t know what’s so confusing about my post.

I think the Cougars run wild in this one.  Can’t see LH slowing down the red machine.

Go Cougars!

You may be right. I don’t know if LH’s defense will be able to get enough stops to win this game.

I could be wrong but LH Slot-T looks a lil bit more predictable this year. Maybe the false start penalties made them run it a lil slower against AH. #21 seems to be the guy for them this year. Just from the one game I watched I think last years team was better across the board. Still got to stop the Slot-T tho. AH had experience with Slot-T teams and still couldn't get the job done.

I think they are better in the front 7 then last year.
