Let me tell Cuero ran into a speed demon from Marlin. They are a good sound team with more speed than anyone realizes.
In the contolled scrimmage Marlin scored 3 to 1. Cuero had first posession and promptly walked down the field and scored in six plays. Cuero moved the ball pretty good moving down the field till Marlin speed began to catch up to the Gobblers and stopped them from making good on their first offensive series.
Marlin took their turn on offense and on the first play QB Billy Pittman goes 69 yards to the 6 yard line before being brought down from behind. On the next play Marlin RB takes it in. On their next set of downs Marlin again scores from 35 yards out.
From their it pretty much settled down into a defensive match.
After a short break Marlin started out on offense and QB Pitman escaped the grasp Of several Cuero defenders and went 70 yards for a score making it 3 to 1 in the controlled scrimmage.
They played a 12 minute contolled game which Marlin won 14-0. Once again Marlin speed and athletism came thru. QB Pittman once again got out of the grasp of 5 gobblers and went 74 yards for the TD.
Cuero would move the ball alright and just when a gobbler was about to break Marlins defensive speed would close the gap or would smother the Cuero runners after short Gains.
Marlins last TD was really ashowcase of GB Pittman's ability to elude tacklers. He must have scrambled 100 yards to escape the Cuero defense and completed his pass for a 45 yard TD.
After seeing Marlin they deserve to be ranked a lot higher in the ranking. Marlin mainly operated out of a one back formation and the shotgun. Belief me when i say they are team to be reckoned with.
Cuero actually played to me their best Scrimmage so far. Cuero secondary had Marlin Passing game in check with 3 INT.'s and the defensive line had 5 sacks.
Cuero's short coming was the elusiveness of the Marlin QB who left the Gobblers lineman clinching air after they apparently had him for huge losses.
Cuero's passing game appears to be coming around with QB Brandon Mays completing 15 of 21 passes for good Yardage.
