Ditto, Vet93, I had a similar post almost word for word ready to go, but you beat me to it.

Great minds think alike!:D

like I stated on another thread, until my boys in Graham can get a handle on that offense and give their defense a break, EVERY Friday will be a LONG night for them...especially the guys they have playing both ways. Wylie's offense right now is as good as they have ever looked in the regular season. It is very smooth, fluid, and consistent. Other than the Aledo game, the starters have been out after the 1st or 2nd series in the 3rd quarter in the other 3 games, having scored almost every time that they have had the ball. Not to try and talk Wylie up because usually I am not a big fan of doing so...but their offense is scary good! Those of you who know about Wylie know that they will never have the most impressive stats coming into a game...but what Sandifer is capable of putting together on any given Friday is truly amazing. I am looking forward to this game so that I get a chance to go home and it will be my last "fix" for a few weeks as I will be in San Antonio next w/e and miss the Wyle/Decatur game!

Wylie 35
Graham 10

[BMOC]

Wylie is always well coached and ready to go. They are on fire right now, beating Aledo and Vernon in the last couple of weeks, and starting off 4-0. By the way they are playing, I say will by 14, at least.

[NateDawg39]

I think the loss to Decatur showed Graham that they have a lot of work to do this week. Being an Eagle once its hard for me to say this but I know Wylie is ahead of Decatur in the talent area and skill level. Graham is a good team and should keep the game close in the 1st half. They will really need to implement the run game against Wylie. They only had three guys carry the ball for about 80 yards or so on like 26 carries(cant remember the true stats).The qb will need to stop tossing picks as well. He had 4 from Decatur. I pick Wylie by 21

[Z motion 10 out on 2]

Wylie is that good.

[Johnny Moxen]

Don't know that much about Graham this year, I'll just have to take everyone's word about them. I do know it's very hard difficult to change coaching staffs without some trouble that can cause a team to stumble alone, but throw in a drastic change in philosophies (Option/wishbone to Run N' Gun). As good as Wylie's offense is at this time, I'd say Wylie by at least 21-28 points.

[GreenMonster]

Wylie 42 - Graham 7

[Matthew328]

Wylie big

[LH Panther Mom]

FSN's DQ Game of the Week

Graham Steers, District 5, have new coaches and seem to be struggling of late.

Abilene Wylie Bulldogs, District 4, 2004 D1 state champs are 4-0 and recently had an impressive win against 4a Aledo.

Thoughts?

[Pmoney]

[Gobbla2001]

Graham's in a new system... Wylie's in the same system that has been working for some time now...

I voted for the defending Division 1 State Champions...

Should be the DQ "Bad" game of the week.
In the past few years Graham and Wylie have met up several times, including a double OT thriller two years ago in bi-district playoffs. Most of the games have been close.... but not this year.
Wylie has a great QB in Keenum, starting on varsity since he was a sophomore. Their offense is rolling like a well oiled machine.
Graham on the other hand is your stock market team so far. One week they're up, next week they're down. Inconsistent play on both sides of the ball so far this year.
Wylie by at least 3 TD's.

I do admit I like Sandifer using his second stringers in games for experience. Once a team gets up and the game is out of reach, it's good to see some of the underclassmen get some action. Unlike some other teams who keep their first team in there until about 3 minutes left to go in the game.

Every game with the exception of Aledo he's played the house. There are 56 that suit up for Wylie and he'll play them all if possible. I respect the fact that he'd rather give these kids playing time rather than trying to preserve a shutout or run up stats for the starters. Keeps a team concept in perspective.

Amen to that.

[Leopards,class of 75]

I am going to pick Abilene Wylie by 21 points over Graham.

I agree. Vernon's loss to Wylie could have been a lot worse had the 1st team stayed in. Wylie showed a lot of class. Now there were quite a few flair ups on the field but I think Vernon being a proud program and taking a beating like they did was just too much for several players to take.

[Z motion 10 out on 2]

Also Wylie by at least 21.

[Bubba-Joe]

Z motion who do the Lions play this week ?????

[Z motion 10 out on 2]

Vernon vs. Burkburnett (4A)

Burk has been doing surprisingly well. Leon Jr. seemed to like them for whatever that means! The Lions get the Bulldogs again this week and there isn't much left after that last Bulldogs they faced!

Vernon should make a game of this one.

[football4life]

Been watching film on Levelland who played graham this year, and they looked pretty shaky with the spread offense. Sounds like wylie is sharp, looks like we'll be seeing them again. Wylie big.

[Whsdogs]

I think wylie will toss a shutout in this one....28-0 (would say more but 2nd team can only score so many lol :D )

Vernon should make a game of this one. when i watched wylie play in week 2 they looked pretty polished, i was pretty impressed with how well they were able to move the football without any problems that early in the season.

[Steer Fever]

like the old saying goes..... dont count your chickens before they hatch... ;)

[injuredinmelee]

whilke i think this game will be closer than most others (since Wylie is susceptible to the pass), there is also another saying. Wake Up and smell the coffee.

Wylie's coffee is strong! That nose guard was so fast he was taking our snap from the center!
