You'll be impressed with 25 from Riverside, probably not as fast but more powerful. He,s a stud and he's battle tested. Hard to spot a weakness in Riverside, well balanced on both sides of the ball and extremely well coached.

I watched the riverside Huntingdon game.

If they have a weakness (not weak, just not as tight as everything else) in would be that the secondary is suspect for short passes to the middle of the field. Their DB's give a sizeable cushion on the LOS, especially the slot...problem for opponents is that they generally don't give the QB much time to check for open receivers, their DB's are ball hawks, and they'll pop you when you catch it. I'm guessing that it's a conscious decision to prevent receivers from getting behind the coverage...6-12 yard passes won't kill you like an occasional 60 yard catch and run. Huntingdon had some success throwing those routes, but couldn't sustain drives (or wouldn't commit) more than 30 yards with it.

I think ER will have the same problem especially with the slant. They’ll be committed to stopping the run and I think it’ll open up opportunities across the middle for Riverside. Their QB can is pretty good at that from what little I have seen. It will be interesting how ER’s DC schemes for that.

The running back for Baylor last night is probably comparable to Groves

I said the same thing, good size and speed. 

[Biggameburt]

Groves is gonna turn heads tomorrow.

[Chiefbigfoot]

Groves is gonna serve up some crow tomorrow, I can feel it! No matter the outcome still extremely proud of this group. A super YOUNG bunch of kids who fought hard to get here. Resemble a lot of what Riverside was last year. Hoping for a good game and no injuries. Safe travels.

Ain't no way he got that first down.  The announcers know it (though they'd NEVER admit it.  We all know it.  He got zero yardage.   The referees gave the dam game away just now.  Replay shows.  He lost a few inches.  That really lousy officiating.  Actually, its down right crooked.  A grown man out there giving SP the spot just because he wants them to win.  Sickening.

Sir, this is a  ̶W̶e̶n̶d̶y̶’̶s̶ East Robertson/Riverside thread

[Deeper]

That TD was handed to them by the refs on the crooked spot.  They wont show another replay of that again.

Dang that's embarrassing.  Thank you though.  Gotta ease up on the Vodka I guess.  Good bye everyone

Went and watch the Johny Frost show. Coach Frost seems a like a great guy, so does Desmond Thomas and the young man on the far right. The young man sitting between Thomas and the other guy was pretty confident in Riverside. Said he would “tear groves head off.” Coach Frost said ER was the best team they would see all year and Thomas and other expressions didn’t agree with the take. Looking towards to this game big time
