Wylie vs Levelland--Region I, Division I Final Friday @ 7:30 at San Angelo...

[slingshot]

Fascinating game. The highest scoring, top offense in DI vs arguably (no argument in my mind) the best defense in DI. Texas Tech style 'Air Raid' passing attack that puts up 60 a game routinely vs a big, fast defense that will create havoc in your offensive game plan.
Rematch of last year's Region I championship that Wylie dominated--strong revenge factor for Levellland, is Wylie going to have a let down after the huge emotional win over Argyle? Will the (reportedly OK State-bound) stud QB with 4000 yards passing and Lord knows how many TD's torch Wylie's somewhat depleted DB's? Will Wylie rush for 300+ yards and control the game?

The classic "Irresistable Force vs The Immovable Object" matchup. Should be a fun one to watch!

[Eagle Nation]

I'll go Wylie since they were the true favorites of Reg 1. AW just doesn't need to fall into to the trap (this past week's game). They need to focus on this week's game and not let the Argyle game be their state championship game.

Levelland 83 Wylie 84

[wyliefan]

Wylie will be the "vistor". Wylie I am sure will give up some yards, but the coaching staff always comes up with a great game plan each week. When teams are one dimensional Wylie will generally shut them down. It will be important for the D-line to get pressure so the other 7 can be in pass defense. I would guess Levelland has not played a team with the speed of the Wylie D. Additionally, the Levelland D appears to be their weakness and the Wylie O must continue to sustain drives and minimize mistakes.

We have beat Levelland the last two years in Midland, interesting that this game is in San Angelo, much closer to Abilene. Safe travels for both teams and good luck.

[hollywood]

Abilene Wylie should win this game by 21+. The question is, and slingshot touched on it, will AW fall into the trap of an emotional win against Argyle or keep the hammer down on their ultimate goal... a State Championship appearance. I will not be surprised to see Levelland give Wylie a good game. Maybe even an upset if the stars align. The Lobo offense appears to be hitting on all cylinders at the right time of the season. Revert back to 2012 Wylie vs Stephenville. Wylie was playing some great defense that year as well. All we heard was how they would shut down Stephenville's explosive offense. It was a great first half until the flood gates opened. It could happen. I'm pulling for Wylie of course and think they will win. But again, would not be surprised to see Levelland with an upset.

Levelland looks to be fantastic on offense, on defense? Meh. Wylie is much healthier this year than the 2012 game--we had 7 starters on the sideline in street clothes (including 4 O-linemen) for that game and lost 2 more during the game--just too much to overcome against a juggernaut like that Jackets team. This year we have one starter out for the season and several dinged up but playing (like everyone else at this point of the season).
We also have a dual threat QB in Smith that can hurt you with his legs or his arm--very dangerous in the option pitch and read option yet can still drop back or roll out and pass when needed. Has sneaky speed--one of those kids who doesn't look like he's running hard then you just see him pulling away from everybody. Brooks Pepper is a very dangerous back--majority of his yards come after initial contact and has very good speed for a 6'0", 190 lb RB. O-line has really benefitted from having a healthy Kade Parmelly back--kid is a beast! 6'5", 275 lbs and has excellent speed for downfield blocking... an outside linebacker's nightmare.
Our defense is a whole other story! :evilgrin:

[toddg]

I think AW will prove to be the proverbial brick wall this week

[Eagle Nation]

Once again Wylie is the favorite of Reg 1. Wylie has the players to win and they are hard to defend.
Argyle had a decent defense and had trouble. That was the main reason Wylie didn't score more.

Wylie by 10+

Big question:
Does Levelland have the O-line to give Gerber time against a great Wylie D? If so, this could be fun. If not, a snoozer.

Wylie is primed and ready, no question about that. Of course you're going to think highly of your Bulldogs sling. I would too and am impressed with their play, especially the last several games. But think back to 2012, Wylie was thought of as the regional favorite. And touting how the defense was going to be too much for Stephenville to overcome. Not saying this year's Wylie team is the same as the 2012 or that Levelland is at the same level as the 2012 Stephenville team. But the scenario this match up presents is eerily familiar.

Still think Wylie by 21+

Still think Wylie by 21+Good points. I know, I'm a homer and partial to my Bulldogs. I also know we have our weaknesses... and our strengths, most teams do (excepting maybe WOS ;)). Problem with our 2012 team was that we peaked too early--quite a few folks around here thought that. Same thing happened with our 2009 team. Both of those teams were also literally devastated with injuries. Putting my homer hat aside, this team has (knock on wood) stayed remarkably healthy and seems to be peaking at just the right time. Friday night against Argyle was the best game we've played. No turnovers, few penalties, few missed assignments, great tackling and the run game was absolutely clicking. Gotta remember--all of our skill position players were new starters this year and we only played 8 regular season games. IF (big if) we play like that we will be VERY hard to beat...

That is great to hear and definitely a bonus when a team is healthy this time in the season. And to be peaking at the right time... doesn't get much better than that. Let's hope this is Wylie's year! Would love to see y'all hoist a trophy in December. Represent District 3!

[Saggy Aggie]

Guess it's time to find out if levelland is for real or not

[ccmom]

Obviously Levelland has been putting up ridiculous offensive numbers. I realize that every year is a new year and Levelland might shock the heck out of me. However, I can't help but think about last year when we played them with the same QB they have this year. Final score was 61-8 and I think they had 40 something yards in the air. I'm sure they are better this year but I KNOW they haven't faced a defense like ours. I just can't imagine that Levelland is really 50 points better than last year. I'll eat crow graciously if I have to, but I'm gonna say Wylie wins by 28+.

My dear ole bullpups are slobbering to knock off a high flying offense, I'm thinking Wylie by 28, not going to stop them all night!

[LionFan72]

Not sure whether to drive to Angelo or Waco, would love to see both games, but already a trip to Dallas Tues-Fri morn will throw a kink in my old bones, I guess we will we flip a coin!

Just looked up the LL QB's stats. 5500 yds passing and 72 TD's with only 4 int's this season alone!. That is crazy! I know he likely has not faced a defense like ours but geez... those are some crazy numbers! :eek: :thinking: :vrycnfsd:

[WOS87]

You'll be fine. Just go back two weeks and watch WOS-Robinson. The only thing that can kill Wylie is complacency after the big win last week.

If Levelland's OL can give Gerber just 2-3 seconds, Wylie's D will have its hands full for sure. But if the Wylie D can put pressure on Gerber and not allow him to get into rhythm, game over. Should be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Lol... reminds me of the 2010 season when all football references were to the mighty Lions.

[slingshot]

Lol... reminds me of the 2010 season when all football references were to the mighty Lions.LOL, don't think we're there yet! We've been in that 'second tier' of 4ADI Football behind La Vega, China Spring, Argyle and a few others all year in most people's minds. I've been telling everyone all year our defense may be the best in the state and now seems everyone else is paying attention after they shut down a very good Argyle team for all intents and purposes. Some are suddenly putting us up on a pedestal as a championship contender based on that performance. I'm not there yet. That was indeed our most complete performance of the year but I'm not convinced we can put 4 games like that together consecutively. Based on past performance we will likely have one down game offensively with multiple turnovers. Question is, can we win at this level if we do that? Maybe, but it will be tough. IF we can string together 4 performances like that... it's possible. That's what makes these deep playoff runs so great--the teams that play to their potential and impose their will on their opponents win... those that don't get beat. Just that simple.

[WOS87]

For the record I picked Wyile to win it all in my pick'em bracket.

[briandumith*]

I haven't seen Levelland but have followed them with this playoff run. The Decatur game was Crazy-Nutz for sure. Cant see them beating the machine that is Wylie at this point. I was at the round 1 game against Hirschi. The D-Line is unbelievable. They are just GREAT! I think that was the main reason they beat Argyle. I also think that is the reason they will win this game and probably two more..

I know people on here are sick and tired of me rambling about Dion Novil (#89--plays NG or DT depending on the set)... but this kid is like a faster version of Dustin McWhorter (sp?) from Graham a couple years ago. 6'4", 260 lbs, strong as an ox and can really move for a big man. Basically unblockable by one person. He tore up the Argyle O-line and they were big and good. Lived in the offensive backfield all night. If this kid is not playing at a good D1 program next year it is a crying shame. Very humble and polite off the field and a very good student to boot. One of the Argyle assistants told me after the game he was the best D-lineman they had played in the last few years (and they have probably played some darned good ones). This kid should be 1st All State, no matter his stats...

If he doesn't have any offers yet. I am sure that he will after this run. He is such a force. I just can't see that talent ending this year.
I was listening to the game last week online. The Argyle radio guys metioned something about Southern Missouri??? I had not heard that before...

Ahem.......Uhhh, somewhere down the line I think most football enthusiasts agree that great defenses trump(pardon the pun) great offenses. Furthermore, I believe we see this same exact situation play out each season in Texas high school football....for the most part. Even a team with a great offense rarely defeats a team with a great defense unless that team has an equally great defense also. I seriously doubt you will find Levelland's defense to be anywhere close to that of Wylie's......or even Argyle's.....or Brownwood's.....or any other pretty good defense out there in these here 4A D1 Playoffs. One game at a time.....wash, rinse, and repeat.

If you can keep their offense off the field, or at least from scoring much.....then it gives your offense a whole lot more opportunities. A great defense has a way of creating positive plays and positive field position for its offense.

Oh well.

[regaleagle]

It was 14-0 at the end of the 1st, and now in the 2nd Levelland was driving in Wylie territory.

Wylie's first unit is getting plenty of rest this week and staying healthy as the backups are getting their well-deserved minutes.

[regaleagle]

[regaleagle]

Sweetwater wins 38-14 over Seminole. They get the winner of Gilmer and Celina.

[regaleagle]

Wylie is the real deal, for sure this season. They have what I would classify as a darn complete team in all phases.

[regaleagle]

Looks like Wylie will be facing Kennedale in the State Semifinals next week.....that should be a very physical game with two good teams going at it.

[regaleagle]

Kennedale also has a pretty salty defense.....and they can score. They will pound that ball all night on the ground.

[regaleagle]

Wylie backup punter hits it 53 yds down to the 10 yd line. He's a sophomore. Ethan Wood.

[regaleagle]

Gerber to his brother over the middle goes incomplete.

Levelland Lobos 14

Final

Congrats to the Wylie Bulldogs for a very strong showing tonite. Great season for the Lobos.

[regaleagle]

I guess I elected myself to do the play by play for Wylie tonite......I hope they don't mind. I guess I just can't call it a season yet, LOL.

Thanks regal! What is your Wylie vs Kennedale prediction?

[regaleagle]

Thanks regal! What is your Wylie vs Kennedale prediction?

Kennedale will present a different set of circumstances for the Wyliedawgs vaunted defense. It will be bruising, bruising, bruising. My first impression is that Wylie has it all and will grind out the victory. A good balance of run and pass should keep the Wildcats defense guessing. Both defenses are pretty stout......but I feel Wylie has all the ingredients this season to kiss the carpet in Jerry World. It's just tough to defend a complete team that is talented, big, strong, fast, and prepared. Coach Sandifer and his staff will have the Bulldogs ready. Wylie by 2 TD's is my gut feeling. But Kennedale has that ability to bust off some big plays in that Modified Wing T set they run. Should be a medium scoring game......31-21 type.
