Cougtalk

Maybe, the team they are playing is unbeaten and puts up absurd point totals as well. how on earth do they score so much running that offense? Put 80 on people with a slot T is insanity!

My favorite comment was a BH fan I overhead asking some guy... how on earth did Nederland beat Crosby.

Dunn with space can still take off.

15 C. Marshall get ejected?

Well they took one from the cougars I. The first half.. so refs haven’t been very good for this stage of the playoffs.

One man show at Marshall. They are screwed the second a D1 CB plays them.

He’s been in slot whole game hasn’t he?

It would be almost feel we need to go to Branch he’s so hobbled

Buffs 7 cougars 6 ref with an R -6

Just beat the #5 and #4 teams in a row I don't think they are going to be shocked by anything Marshall is capable of.

2 or 3 handfuls he's the one player you stay up at night worrying about. That QB may end up coughing up a ball or two he runs really upright.

Really not a statement that oru defense couldn't shut them down but you're going into the game thinking this might be a shoot out with Crosby. If Nederland was going to beat FBM it was gonna be a game like PNG had with them 21-14. I hope Crosby plays great defense if they do they should win this game.

yep and the Cougars have shown they will go for the big play early and often. Both versus Texas high and versus Huntsville. We are not afraid to throw a 50/50 ball. or a 45 yard post. I swear Dunn threw a ball 70 yards in the air last week.

100%

Only 15?

I agree with you. But I also wonder if this might be a game of take everything else away from them and let that 1 on 1 happen. It's playing with fire. But who cares if Marshall has 3 td's and 200 yards if that's all they get.

Agreed it ended with the Cougars in the 4th round and the dogs enjoying a good New Years meal.

well pat yourself on the back buddy. nice one and done because your record was so poor you were the 4.

yours already is

definitely true that Chris Marshall kids is a monster.

We won't. We can definitely lose this game FBM is a great team but we won't get blanked. Just like PNG didn't and Montgomery didn't.

Nederland is a big smash mouth running team with couple good pieces they need to hold people down. That's why they don't do hurry up very often, use a lot of flank backs and TE/FB formations and are completely happy getting 3-5 yards a play. Similar to someone like Huntsville although that team had some playmakers particularly their D1 DL and their #4 wide receiver. If you're Nederland game planning you thought is we have to score efficiently. and play great defense, they feel like the Huntsville style of team. I think Huntsville is a bit of a more dynamic defensive team, but you have to use your size to move the ball and control the game. Which is how you would describe both teams this year. How do they win they hold down their opponents and win without having to score a lot. Huntsville was beating everyone 28-0, 35-7, Nederland was winning their games 35-28, 28-21. This is very different from what Crosby will bring which is a highly dynamic offense, being bigger and stronger won't matter as much because most of the Crosby offense is putting you in double trouble. do you go for Dunn or Branch, or the Wide receiver. It was very effective against Texas High, and pretty effective against Huntsville. Was it as effective against Nederland? No but Dunn also wasn't playing QB against Nederland. The offense has looked completely different since Dunn took over which also explains how much we need him to be healthy. 66 versus FBW, 62 Versus Texas high and then 32 against a defense that hadn't given up more than 17 all year. BH scored 19 in a blowout late and Crosby put 32 on that defense to win. Without Dunn for a quarter. I can see a shootout coming with Marshall because of that awesome Wide receiver they have he will create so many problems. but these are two completely different styles of teams.

You are mate but not all those doggies are.

The puppies need the cougars to lose so they can say their win wasn't a fluke.

Why did Nederland lose to PNG? It's football. PNG probably played a great game versus Nederland, Nederland played a great one versus Crosby. Does that make PNG better than Nederland? but how can PNG be better than Nederland and Nederland better than Crosby and Crosby better than PNG? It's matchups bud.
