Good Start.

Cougars need a good start.

Coin toss is basically the only time we are going to look bigger than Manvel;.

Neither played a full game we would have won 17-0 if they stopped it at half

So he was ineligible for the game because he played jv correct.

It seemed like we did not have a backup QB. I do not know why that's the case but they put a wide receiver in at QB that i've never seen play QB. Also, if your medical staff is sure it's just cramps then I don't think the risk of injury is particularly high. I also, noticed we said similar things last year, Prieto seems to treat pre-district as a pre-season not the reason we lost that would be not scoring on 5 turnovers, however this wasn't a throw the sink at them moment either. I'm sure Carthage was pretty vanilla as well. That TE play is hard to stop if they don't stop themselves.

Another week same results PAM wins conformably.

I’ll second it.

I don't think we can hang with Manvel this year. I didn't see enough from that o-line to make me believe we will have space to operate. I'd like to be proven wrong, but I feel we stick close until second half when depth breaks the defense for being on the field too much.

@BHFAN what happened buddy? Got some chuckles about our game last night... BH looked hapless.

So TBF i know last year we would run an option off of it if people started crashing too hard on that play. Dunn would go for 80.

it's the only running play we ran with him. When we do something else who knows he might just go.

That Counter play felt like an auto 7 yards.

Hmm, the fact we broke 100 yards rushing feels weird to. Maybe I'm just not paying attention to the 5-10 yard plays that added up over time.

He likes stirring the pot, been here since the state championship game and apparently is happy here.

Where are those stats? Do you have a full list? I was looking but that seems off but hey kudos.

I think you meant Carthage.

That's clearly a guess, I don't think he was 50+%of your offense.

He had blocks to the opposing 45 to make that play, i hope the special teams coach got a free beer out of it at very least.

He was a fast player for sure but that run back was like 20% speed 80% excellent seal blocks and special teams design.

Wasn't his speed it was a great play and great blocking. No clue why yall are trying to pretend it was "just speed"

I think only Cougar14.2 believes that. We are hopeful this offense will be as explosive and Cyrin Miles looks like he can be a special QB but we lost our QB/RB/WR1/WR3/WR4 from last year. Kirkwood returns as the only primary starter in skill positions. Womack is another tertiary starter. We were Vanilla but we normally are in games pre-district. Looks a hell of a lot better than the start of last year that's for sure. I'll take a loss by 3 on a kick return for TD against an 8 time state champion team in 4ad2 over a 7 point loss to a 6A team in a weak 6a districts who lost to anyone with a Pulse last year. We put up 500 yards in that game and scored 3 times... that's embarrassing. This game? Meh, it got away it happens. of the 8 starters who contributed yards in last years game 1, 2 of them return.

Nah, I had the curse a couple years ago with yall every time I said you'd win you lost. and don't worry yall would have been blanked by that team.

You also had 5 turnovers yards mean nothing if you keep coughing up the rock.

So one nugget we should mention. Did either team have a bad snap in the 2nd half? there were so many for Crosby in first half, and a couple over the heads for Carthage. I think we had the one bad snap over the QB head that lead to the first instance of cramping, but after that pretty clean snaps rest of night. glad we cleaned that up.
