Congratulations to Houston!!! The best team won!!! Now it's the longest 8 months of the year.....................

I'm going to go watch a well coached team on Friday night. I'm going to see Watauga County (Boone, NC) play Hickory in the first round of the playoffs and then watch App State vs Marshall Saturday night. Completely fed up with the Red Rebels and the coaching staff. No creativity on offense. It's mind boggling they continue to struggle to get plays called before the play clock runs out. The Defense is stuck on stupid with their scheme and defensive approach-they don't attack anything. LBs never get down hill, the db's seem disinterested in hitting anyone or supporting the run d. Special teams are anything but special. Very frustrating to be a Red Rebel fan currently. I hope for the seniors on the team they ball out during the playoffs. I hate they been stuck with the same, lame coaches for 4 years..............................

Great job, Murvil!!!!

That's outstanding! Thanks RW!!!

Glad the puppies are finally getting their shot to play! What were 5's stats for the game? Play the puppies!!!!!

No. For some reason the trainers of the Dog have forgotten to feed him and what he likes to eat. It's in the water within the MCS school district.

It was a barnburner!

I heard there's 63 kids on the Freshman team, supposedly the most ever. The fellas gotta start hydrating today to beat the heat and keep cramps away!

depth???? where'd wb get depth?

Offense looked better than last year. Defense still has issues stopping the run but pass defense looked better. They seem to have more skill depth than last year, too.

Totally disagree. Haven't seen any teams running I formation in years (except Freedom HS, Hickory NC-they ran smoke stack I) Most teams run some kinda of version of spread and the back lines up even with the QB and that's at 4 yards. Never seen any high school teams who's 3 man D-line could take on 5 blocks!

The game is won and lost at the LOS. If you only have 3 dudes on the LOS, you're gonna get trucked! You're correct that attacking LB's can overcome the scheme. However, when the LB's stand at 5 yards from the LOS and don't get down hill, it's impossible to effectively stop the run.

I think most teams went to the 3-4 to stop the spread. My issues are that: 1. there aren't enough dudes on the LOS 2. there aren't enough dudes in "the box" 3. when the other team gets inside the 20 and especially inside the 15, 4 DBs is a waste-get one of the safeties out and roll in another lineman/LB 4. Unless you got Reggie White, John Henderson and Vince Woolfork as your 3-it ain't gonna work against the run! I agree with Stars-OR ran the same D but their LB's were so active-they were wither coming or showing a blitz which makes the O-line have to account for them at the LOS. What's the point of lining the LB's back at 5 yards? They aren't doing jack in pass defense anyway-except dropping into zone. They definitely aint getting down hill!!! If you watch the SEC and NFL D's that run 3-4 they most always have at least 5 if not 6 dudes on the LOS. Football ain't hard it's just a numbers game.................

I'm worried too. She wouldn't answer texts........Hope Tony treated her right.....................

A little late to the discussion. They don't need to find a wing-t team to scrimmage. They need to get more people in the box. 7 ain't enough! Especially when there's only 3 on the LOS. What's the point in having 4 db's when the opponent is running it down your throat? It seems like a lot of coaches have gotten dumb regarding basic football. It's always been and always will be a numbers game. If the D only has 3 dudes on the LOS then the offense wins every time-unless you got John Henderson, Reggie White and Vince Woolfork! Load the box! Become multiple-don't run the same crap every down! Just sayin'!
