Llano's running game is starting to get it going. They need a stop here, though, if they want to be able to continue to stick with the run. They do get the ball to start the second.

Llano runs the slot T, and yes, it is a pretty good offense. It's not on par with the Liberty Hill version, but it's still pretty good. They generally have a little bigger linemen that aren't as mobile as ours, so their plays aren't as quick hitting.

Pretty hard to do with 27 points.

The score was NOT 41-20.

Llano did NOT score 5 TDs.

The score was 41-27.

Llano scored 4 TDs, and Logan Davis had a monster game for the Jackets.

I don't generally like being critical of coaching decisions at the high school level, but something really puzzled me here.

With the game 41-27 and almost 4:00 left to play, the Jackets hit a long pass to the Bulls 11 after a Bridgeport fumble. The Slot-T had worked well for Llano in the second half and I think the physical nature of it on the line was starting to give Llano an advantage there.

First and 10 at the Bridgeport 11, it seemed to me that they should return to their usual style of play. But they kept trying to pass... and got sacked on first down. And on second down. And on third down which became moot when Llano fumbled it away.

Curious play calling to me, but in any event, the Bulls defense deserves major props for that stand.

Good job by Llano in the 2nd half. Bulls offense was definitely rusty from bye week, but Llano was also very scrappy. I can see now why LH only beat them by 11 pts. Way to go Bulls!

Bullaholic
11-23-2008, 12:10 AM
Llano is one tough, tough football team. They never let up for a minute, and although they never led the Bulls, I was never comfortable during the game. The Bull "O" sputtered uncharacteristically several times during the game---all credit to the Llano "D"---they tackled very well 1-on-1 and in open space. The Bull "D" delivered some huge hits and stopped Llano when it really counted, but Llano never flinched and kept coming. Our QB did not have a good night throwing the ball and think we were hurt by the BYE as we seemed to lose our aerial rhythm a little bit. The Bulls ran the ball very effectively to pile up the points in the first half. Still, our players delivered when it counted and get to play another week. Congrats to the Bulls for outlasting a quality opponent in LLano and bringing home win no. 11. I have a lot of respect for the Llano program and the effectiveness of the Slot-T after watching it for the first time. I can't say enough about the competitive spirit of the Llano players. Go Bulls!

BullsFan
11-23-2008, 12:27 AM
Wow, Llano really brought it tonight. They came out after halftime FIRED UP and ready to play. There was a lot of time especially in the third quarter when I was biting my fingernails. I agree that our bye week probably didn't do us any good, but I also think the Llano defense was ready for us in a lot of ways. Their defense covered our receivers fairly well, and it was our rushing that kept us in the black in the first half. And their offense kept pounding it out all night long. Great job, Llano!

And of course, major congratulations to the Bulls who pulled out another one! Now let's spend this week getting ready for Monahans....I'm really looking forward to Friday night!

I have to agree with you 100%. They had the ball at the 10 yd line they should have stayed with the run & if they scored then it could have been a different game then. my hats off. very good team.

Just saw a few game stats---the Bulls put up 456yds of offense and Corbin Green had 142yds rushing and 5 TD's.

I think we Bulls fans sometimes, me especially, lose perspective and don't realize what a good job our players are doing when they don't perform as well against the better teams as well as they did against some of the lesser teams during the season. Maybe we're spoiled a little bit in that regard, and have a hard time realizing that the playoffs are a very different arena with much better teams. Most teams would love to have 456yds of "O" against anyone in the playoffs. Our "D" bent but didn't break under a tremendous load by a relentless Llano "O".

Hats off to the Bulls players for "sucking it up" and getting the job done once again as a team, and to the coaches for finding ways to get this talented bunch of players to adjust on offense and defense to end up on the right end of the score.

Goodness gracious I am so proud of these players for what they are doing week after week, and I haven't said it near enough to them.

Go Bulls!

Thanks, Daddy D11. As someone who still hasn't quite gotten her voice back, I can definitely attest to the loudness of the Bulls crowd. :)

And Bullaholic, thanks for the stats--and the reminder. I guess I'm so used to seeing the Bulls play flawless or near flawless games that I probably don't give them enough credit for games like last night's. I couldn't be more proud of our boys this year!

And as for last night, I'm proud to say that one of my class's players made a HECK of a hit on (I think) special teams. It was one of those hits where everyone in the stands cheered for him. So if he ever happens to come across this post, I hope he sees how awesome that was, and how proud I am. :)

I think it is a great point you make, Bullaholic. We were all feeling that the Bulls O looked a bit rusty, but we also need to keep it in perspective, like you have pointed out.

The exciting thing was with a game where we knocked off a bit of rust, we still had an outstanding game offensively. It makes me look forward very much to next game.

Great job O!

I agree, BullsFan... Llano came out after half time and really, really wanted that Win! I was super impressed with the Llano ballclub.

That was the first time for me to see a "Slot T". It reminded me of a wing T or wishbone variant, with a bit more misdirection thrown in. Llano looked like they knew how to execute it and seemed very disciplined.

I have to give big kudos to the Bridgeport D. They had some key stops throughout the game. When you start playing post season you know you will see some good offenses, so I am glad we played tough.

Let's start getting ready for Monahans, GO BULLS!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT---

Llano's version of the Slot -T is about two year behind the LH offense. Llano plays it well but LH plays it to near perfection. If you guys in Bridgeport get to face LH, be prepared to see the real Slot-T in action. If Llano got over 300 yards rushing aginst you guys, LH will be over 500.

So, now we find out there is a "real" Slot-T and an "artificial" Slot-T. I'm sure the Llano folks agree with this too?:doh:

OldBison75
11-24-2008, 11:02 AM
Get off the real and artificial thing, LH has been running the offense for a lot longer and has perfected the system better. Both are good, but LH is more precise and better executed. As for the real question about the post I made, How will Bridgeport respond to stop the LH offense that will be much better than the Llano version?

Won't happen and the Bulls will have to outscore the Panthers, if they are lucky enough to get by Monahans. No guarantee there.

Oldbison.....seems you are confident that LH will get by Sweetwater. I am curious. Have you seen Llano, Bridgeport, or Sweetwater this year? What about Monahans? If you have seen all of these teams this year, you must be the most widely travelled high school football fan in history.

OldBison75
11-24-2008, 11:46 AM
Yes, I'm confident LH will beat Sweetwater. Sweetwater is too one dimensional to stay on the field with them. As for the others, no, I have not seen them play, but I have not seen Texas A & M play either and I know from what scores and stats I see that they are not comparable to Texas, Texas Tech, or Oklahomo.

As for the smack talk, you beat Llano a few days ago and you guys keep talking about how great you were and that now you can stan toe to toe with anyone. I was just pointing out that to be the best, you better make sure you can beat the best. THAT is yet to be seen. BUT, MY MONEY IS ON THE PANTHERS.

I've seen too many teams think that their high scoring offense would score ttto many points for LH to match, but in the last couple of years plus, NO ONE has been able to do that.

Oldbison...If you rely on stats, we stack up well so you might want to hang your hat on something else. Why not just come out and say LH will win because you want it to be so? As for the quote above, I have not seen one post claiming that. If I have missed one, I trust you will be happy to point it out for me.

Call it KARMA? Call it what you want but it sounds more like envy to me.

I don't necessarily want LH to win, but I know they usually do. I remember a team last year, very much like Bridgeport, that had a great year, and had good succes the first few weeks of the playoffs. They were a spread type team, putting up big numbers all year, and were beginning to think they were invincible. Then came the week of the matchup with LH in the quarterfinals. We bragged about outscoring them, we bragged about them not being able to stop out passing game, and we bragged about how our Division 1 recruit back would pile up tough yards on them.

Come game day, they stopped our passing game except for a couple of long plays, the they stuffed our division 1 recruit and most of our entire offense, and they whipped our butts.

I am not saying that the same fate is in the cards for Bridgeport, but I will say that you better be ready for that matchup and be prepared to eat a little crow. If you win, more power to you and I'll be the first to cogratulate you and your team and eat some crow.
However, I have been where you are and I know how eay it is to get too excited about your team and believe that you have played against some darned good teams and can play with anyone. Then have a night like we did against Lh and find out that on that field, you were not as good as you thought and had to admit you got whipped. No excuses, no crying, just plain beat by a better team.
LH is the Number 1 team in 3A no matter what the polls say now. THAT won't change till someone beats them. I don't see that happening this week for sure and I don't think it will next week either. As for stats, I don't just take total offense into account, but look at the yards per play against the LH defense and they whip your butts on stats.
Defense wins games in the level of the playoffs and LH has the better overall defense, HANDS DOWN>.
I believe if you read on the top of the previous page you will see where someone, maybe you, said "we can stand toe to toe with anyone".

Old Bison---Why this LH warning epistle in the middle of the Bridgeport-Monahans game thread? I think our team and coaches are looking down the road as far as they need to right now and we will get to LH in due time if needed.

Yes, I did state that after playing a tough Llano team for 4 quarters and watching the hits that our "D" delivered and the outstanding blocking by our "O" line to make the running game go---I believe we could go toe-to-toe with anyone---we might get beat by somebody sometime, but nobody is going to absolutely run over us like you seem to think.

I wish we could get a knowlegeable LLano poster who was at the game to get on and give us their honest opinion.

Oldbison....I would challenge you to find one post where I have talked smack. I am sorry one loss has had such an effect on you but you really need to let it go. Things like that will eat you up inside. We don't know if we will even get the opportunity to play LH. Monahans is a very good team that we hope to beat but there are no guarantees. These are high school kids that play their heart out and I will give each of them, no matter who they play for, respect. If you want to compare stats from common opponents, be my guest. Stats will not tell you if a base defense changes when a spread team goes up 21 points against a slot-t team with time running out. A prevent type defense will give up yards but hopefully not points. Where will you find that in the stats?

as for the bridgeport/llano game, i did not think llano was the greatest of teams. a good team, but nothing to brag about. it could had been closer if they would had run the ball at the run and scored, but the game was close because of what bridgeport did and not because of llano. 3 turnovers by the bulls in one game was a first this season, and the two INTS did not take a whole lot of skill since the ball hit them between the numbers.

the good thing is bridgeport turned the ball over 3 times and still scored 41 points. that is on an average night. a great night, which is the norm for the Bulls, and the points are much greater.

as one of the fans said, the game is over and the bulls are now wolf huntin!

Congratulations to a very good Bridgeport team. Now that Llano is out, I can only look forward to watching a great match-up between Liberty Hill and Bridgeport in two weeks. I hope both teams make it that far and I am sure they will. Bridgeport shouldn't have any trouble beating Monahans, but beating Liberty Hill will be very tough. Best of luck!

I made the little over 3 hour haul to Stepheville Saturday, and I can say that Bridgeport is a very good football team. They have a big O-Line that is physical, and the two Green brothers in the backfield are very quick. Defensively they are pretty good as well. Defensive line is good, a couple of LB'S that go to the football, and a decent secondary. Llano did start to wear down the Bulls in the second half on the ground. The 21 point lead they took into the locker at the half proved to be the difference. Llano came out fighting and made a game of it. Penalties in the 3rd quarter hurt Llano, but this was real close to being a nail biter.

Now from someone who has seen both Llano and Liberty Hill. The Panthers have more speed on defense. I really feel that Bulls will not put up 41 points on the defending champs. I also think Liberty Hill can wear down the Bulls D like Llano did in the 2nd half. I can say that if the two get to meet up next week it will be a dogfight and worth the drive to watch. If both teams play a flawless game then I have to give the slight edge to Liberty Hill. If the Bulls turn it over three times they will not win, however if they don't they will push the Hill for 48 minutes. It will be a good matchup

Good post. The 3 turnovers against Llano was completey out of character and equalled the total no. of turnovers the Bulls had in all of district play. I would'nt count on beating the Bulls based on turnovers.

LH puts it on the ground too, just not very often. No team can say they don't.

reign yourself in, Ghost Horse...I didn't bring LH into this thread. I simply responded to the assumption that Sweetwater would still be playing in two weeks.
To say we don't look forward is a lie...we think about getting to state from the first scrimmage of the year (and you do too if you are truthful and really think your team has any salt)...with that said, I CAN look forward because I don't play...I'm just a fan.

Nobody can ever accuse our team of being unprepared because they have been "game planning for a pushover", and that is where it matters.

I just hope the other Stains in your herd (oops, I think I made a typo), are as thenthative as you are...will make for a fun week.

I believe Llano's defense may have contributed to the bulls turnovers. When we put pressure on the qb he made a few throwing errors and we capitolized. Also had another int waved off that was cought. Llano has some pretty good db's that kept some pretty good coverage. The bulls running game is what gave us fits in the first half. I will come on here and compare Llano and LH when the time is right, not now.

I agree that those were worthy opponents, and good tests, but we didn't see the Panther's limits in those games.

Not slighting any of our opponents to date, but I think this Sweetwater Team, from what I've seen, just might have a bit more "sand in their craw" than those we've faced so far.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not worried, I think it will be a 3 touchdown differential, but I am just saying that this one might just get more than our handful of "old faithful" fans to remain standing...at least for a little while. I am of the "you ain't seen this team's potential yet" when it comes to our Panthers ability to peak at the right time.

I don't have a dog in the fight, but I was sitting on the Llano side when that ball was intercepted and it wasn't the ground that helped it. That boy caught the ball. I will have to give credit to Llano in the second half. They came out ready to play. For the first time that night I saw Bridgeport's defense look a little tired. If there had been a little more time, the score might have been different.

On the flip side, I was impressed with Bridgeport's #10 and #5. Those two can get where they need to in a flash. I really wanted to see this game because our boys played Llano our first game of the year. I had heard so much talk about Bridgeport that I wanted to see how good they played against LLano and if they were for real. I think they are a good team, but I also saw LH play Brownwood this year and if you two meet, I have to go with LH.

Rockdale has to go through Carthage, WOS, Gilmer, and Region 4 to see one of you. Try that. That will be no easy task at all! But, I'm still proud of our boys.

I would'nt jump to conclusions too quickly. That 2nd half just happened to be the Bull's worst offensive performance of any half this year. BTW, did'nt you guys just beat Vernon by 24 pts when the Bulls beat them by 41. And did'nt LH just beat Llano by 11 pts when the Bulls beat them by 14? Hmm???:thinking:

It looks like Sweetwater might have their hands full against the Bulls next week.
Wow, Maybe in the Gym playing a little round ball!:rolleyes:

We run completly different offenses budman. Llano moved the ball fairly easy against your defense, and their lineman are alot slower off the ball than ours. Their lineman were getting to your linebackers with ease and were moving them out of the way for their runningbacks to run by. I can't wait to see what ours are going to do.

Like I said a few days ago, I was impressed with your crowd and your big offensive line. And I was very unimpressed with your defense and your QB.

It was the bulls worst offensive performance because of Llano,s defense. We shut down the run and began forcing you to pass. I wanted to save these till next week but i believe Lh d-line is a lot better than ours but our db,s are better than thiers in coverage. But with thier d- line the qb will not get as much time to throw.

Exactly when did Llano shut down the Bull's rushing game? Bridgeport only averaged almost 10 yds per rush. :vrycnfsd:

Offensivly, even tho we both run the stot-t, it is two different styles. Llano runs more of a power game while LH runs more of a finesse game. We do not have the quickness or speed of the LH offense. When they get the gaps to run thru like we did all you will see are thier backs. They are faster than our backs. Llano,s line and that #33 back will run with power. They had your lb,s and db,s falling backwards the whole 2nd half. Your #35 was pancaked half a dozen times the 2nd half. LH will get to him faster than Llano did. Thier downfield blocking will be more persistant than ours.

Are you sure you were at Stephenville this last Saturday night? Our #35 was busy putting Llano's guys on their butts. The Bull's D will do just fine against LH, but for the rest of this week my conversation will be limited to Monahans. Llano is history now, so go put new strings in your basketball shoes.:D

I say that ball was caught with the ground's help, and the ref agreed with me.


For honestly's sake, I should probably admit that I almost NEVER agree with refs...unless the calls go our way. And when they don't, I will argue most vociferously that the ref was wrong wrong WRONG. No matter how many times slpy tries to tell me it's a good call....in my world, all good calls go the Bulls' way. ;)

I don't like rehashing the past game when we are looking forward to a new game... but my additional thoughts.

1.) Llano had a big tough O line that did a great job. We may have seen similar backs this year, but that was maybe the biggest line I think we have seen. It was telling just after halftime. They came out fired up and the Bulls D were a bit flat. Llano defintely was running the ball well then. And our boys were having a tough time stopping it.

2.) That being said, I mentioned last week that ball control offenses have a hard time catching up. That was evident in the game. While Llano did break a few big plays, for the most part, the Bulls D prevented that and kept the Llano O chipping away. Even in the second half when our boys were being, "flattend", "ran over", etc, :rolleyes:, the Llano O was still having to grind it out 4, 5, 9 yards at a time. While that looks good, it does burn up that clock. And when behind, it does not help you.

Bottom line, the Bulls D will have folks that think it is great and those that think it overrated. But the fact is it held a good Llano team to four scores and shutdown several drives. If we hold a team to an avg of a TD per quarter, I absolutely like our chances. Good Job D!

3.) The Bulls running game pretty much was on track all night. I don't remember any significant length of time during the game when we weren't able to move it on the ground.

4.) You have heard many from Bridgeport say that our passing game was rusty. You have heard others say that we are spoiled. Both are right. No doubt the bye week got us a little out of sorts. We were out of sync in the air, but still threw enough to begin working the kinks out. I would expect this week to be much different... if you weren't impressed with the passing game last week, then please don't worry about gameplanning for it. ;)

5.) loved those hits on kick coverages... BullsFan needs to congratulate her class player for one of those! AWESOME HIT!

6.) From our angle, (and we had I think the better of the two sides) the ball was clearly on the ground.

This game wasn't played on the 3adl and my hats off to both teams that actually did play it. Llano was a great ballclub and I came away very impressed. I am sure our boys did.

Great win Bulls... I know that you are working hard this week preparing for Monahans... GO BULLS!!!

DUDE...I was JOKING. Did you not get that from the part I put in little bitty print? I always argue with slpy about calls that I think should have gone my way...which is to say the Bulls' way. It's a thing we always do. I also do this when I watch the Cowboys, because in my PRETEND JOKING WORLD all calls should go the way of the 'Boys. The only reason I even commented on the original post (which was not, by the way, your post--why are you over here again?) was because the original poster, llange I think, seemed so certain it was a false call, and on our side we were fairly certain it wasn't. Not being actually out on the field, I of course do not know for sure. I was just having a little FUN. You have heard of the concept, right?

Just cracking up, because other than one poster from Bridgeport we aren't talking lots of smack. We are proud of our team and think it will do well.

But for whatever reason, several posters from other towns, (most notably in central Texas) have been downplaying our success and letting us know each week that we aren't that good... starting several weeks back during the season. We think it is hilarious!

For example... Here you are, from Navasota, loving LH, and posting threads schooling us on the Slot T, jumping in our game threads and telling us what LH's slot T will do to us, etc.

Okay... umm... maybe it will.Maybe it won't. But it is funny that each week all these folks start in on us... LOL! Oh well, it keeps it exciting.

And for all our out of town fans... GO BULLS, BEAT MONAHANS, SWEETWATER, NEW BOSTON, and WOS! :D ;)

LH beating Navasota last year is not bothering me at all, they wer the better team and whipped our butts. I accepted that and have followed them very closely since. Nothing has changed there. I think they would beat my team again this year and I think my team has a good shot at the Division 1 championship.

I just think it's amazing that Bridgeport and Llano have already played and you won, but you can't seem to get this thread closed because you just keep on harping about how good you are. Maybe you are, but you haven't proved it yet where the results really matter, against the state's best.

There are still six undefeated teams in 3A. You are one of them. So is Liberty Hill, Navasota, China Spring, Sinton, and WOS. Three of those others are in your Division. You will have to probably face two of those three if you keep winning.

Win those games, and next year I'll be pumping up Bridgeport and bragging on them. I really don't care whether LH, you, or WOS wins Division II, but as a fan of High School Football for 50 years, I know what a good team is and what a great team is. I have probably seen 400 different teams play in the last 25 years and am not talking from my butt.

Forget last week, and worry about this weeks game. Monahans is pretty good. I don't think they can provide enough sefense to stop your team, but they will play hard all game.

Good luck and hope we can banter again next week.

I am really amazed this thread is still going. The Bulls have moved on and should be getting focused on Monahans. If everything works out then this time next week they can focus on LH and talk all the want about how they can beat the back to back state champs. I will agree with Bullaholic, Liberty Hill did not blow out Llano, but neither did Bridgeport. As a matter of fact if my math is correct, there is only a 3 point differential between the Bulls victory over Llano and LH's victory over Llano.
