The score wasn’t an indicator of how well Hardin played. Their offense is a lot like Orangefields from last year. That run attack that chews up the clock. I think Anahuac only had a handful of possessions in the 2nd half, yet gave zero scores up. It was a boxing match.
With that, I haven’t seen OF yet but if they have the same offense as they did last year then AP will need to figure out how to stop that run attach so they can control the clock. If OF controls the time of possession, then I’m leaning OF.

Normally I would have zero hope for an upset but this AP team is just built different. They are healthy and have played well against ranked teams this year.  It’s all on the defense, their offense will keep up as always. They have to make some stops. AP will be ready, this isn’t the only opponent they have faced who run that kind of offense. Orangefield does the same thing and AP lost to them this year. It was a strange game tbh, corbitt didn’t play and their offense was one dimensional - kept airing it deep with no ability to do play action. Didn’t try any mid level passes really, that loss was on the coaching not the players that game.

The AP offense was not well called in the first half. After the 1st drive it was zero runs and only deep fade routes. There was no in between.

I think to be fair, people are saying he has the potential of beings top tier QB within the years to come, not at this very moment. His ceiling is high. 
 
Im a local obviously. The throws he makes, the accuracy, the pure arm strength, is something I have never seen - especially from a freshmen. I was a part of the group of kids that finally got to taste success in Anahuac, the last time before that was back in the 90s. We made the playoffs, it felt great and we played well. These boys, this qb, is playing at a level far beyond anything that resembles highs school football especially from the QB position. We were middle school football compared to this. 

The future is bright for this team and this QB. I can’t wait to see what he does as a Junior and Senior. 
 
Anyone remember Drew Tate? People were traveling across the state just to see him set records. This is the atmosphere Anahuac will have in the next few years regarding Brady Barrier. 

AP did it without their All-State senior running back too. And they are plagued by penalties each week. They were tri-district champs last year and now they have a legit QB who will be playing on Saturdays, and that analysis is based on him as a FRESHMEN. Before week 5 he had just under 1000 yards, 11 TDs 1 int. So my point is now they have an offense that can be carried by their star running back or now by their QB.
