Region I GotW: Battle of the Undefeateds: Bridgeport vs Liberty Hill

[1st and goal]

Here it is!

#1000

[LH_Tuff]

OK. I am going to give away my age here. Does anyone remember the Houston Oilers? The Run-and-Shoot offense? Warren Moon? Billy 'White Shoes' Johnson?
Boy, those were the days. Anyway, I consider the modern day spread offenses born from the old Run-N-Shoot. I was a huge fan of the Oilers and loved watching them play. Very exciting offense. The problem the Oilers always had was when they played teams that played ball control (Steelers, Raiders, etc.). Does anyone
remember the Oliers - Chiefs game where Moon passed for over 500 yards and the Oilers lost? The problem was they scored too fast and the chiefs would grind it out right down the field and score. Anyway, those were exciting days for Oiler fans.

I say this because I see the same thing today in HS football. Lot of teams running the spread. Very exciting to watch. Very quick up and down the field. The problem these teams have is when they come up against a ball control (running) team they seem to get very frustrated because that prolific offense is on the sideline most of the time watching the clock disappear.

I have grown to love LH's offense. To me, it is just as exciting as watching a team pass 40 times a game. It is methodical, smash mouth type football. The way it should be played.

Go Panthers!!

How can you mention the Oilers and not mention EARL CAMPBELL!!

We all have similar feelings looking back to July. Could this be the year. Rusty in scrimmages...personal swaps...injuries...people step up...Studs are born. We talk amongst ourselves about who will be the "tough games" and what we will have to do in order to win. We talk after...and sometimes during church about the game. We spend and extra hour at the grocery store breaking down the past and next game.

I know that this amazing ride for the past 2+ years of not losing a game is amazing...every time a friend of mine asks how we did I get to say..."We do what we do...Win" I don't have a thing to do with the outcome...yet I am as proud as I could possibly be with "Our Boys".

I'm sure BP would have never imagined that they would be alive in week 14 undefeated preparing to play one of the best programs in the state. Along the ride school records have been set and shattered.

High School football, especially in a small town, is as pure as it gets. It's Your town...you win or lose as they do. It can become the lifeblood of your community. What has happened in LH and BP this stretch wont be forgotten.

The sad thing about this is that today will be the last day of practice for the Seniors of Bridgeport. Atleast they know it's comming.

I agree. However, Earl was with the Oilers before the Run-N-Shoot came to town. I remember Earl well. Went to a few Oiler games back then too. Earl made Dan Pastorini look like a great QB. :)

Believe it or not... Jim Dent in his book about the Fort Worth Masonic Home Might Mights makes a very good case that the "Spread" as we know it was created by coach Rusty Russell back in the 1932 season. GREAT BOOK!!!

[Bullish]

Super R has put up a great post about the significance of high school football in Texas, and about how such memories of successful seasons can last a lifetime and have a great impact upon communities.

So true, and how fortunate we are to experience it this year.

Since it seems about everything that can be said has been said about LH vs. Bridgeport, I will go off topic a bit about something that, while ancient history, might be interesting to fans of Texas high school football.

On the subject of great teams that have come out of this area....

The 1962 2A Jacksboro team (24 miles distant) was a monster. They were 15-0, scored over 600 points while keeping the wraps on a lot of games, and gave up a total of 43 points for the season.

In the championship game they beat 13-1 Rockdale 52-0.

Coach Chuck Curtis (all-SWC QB at TCU) went on the following two years to win two state championships at 4A Garland, 4A being the top classification in those days. Curtis later said the 2A Jacksboro team was the best team he ever coached, and that they could have beaten any team in the state.

Maybe 10 years ago the Fort Worth Star Telegram did a series about the greatest teams in North Texas history, and they pegged that 1962 2A Jacksboro team as #5.

I think that is pretty amazing.

Yes, off subject, but hopefully interesting.

Back to LH vs. Bridgeport....we will be at the game ready to see a great contest between two great teams. I expect both sides to demonstrate great pride, competitiveness, and sportsmanship. Hopefully that will even extend to the bands! :D

Let's have a great game and make some more great memories.

Thre is no better bang for your sports buck than Texas high school football!

GO BULLS!

Yes! That is a great book. I finished it about a month ago, and highly recommend it to any football fan!

The exact title is "Twelve Mighty Orphans".

Get ready for an A-whipping Daddy Daycare 11 !!!!!!!! LH is perhaps the single most over-rated high school team in history!!

It strikes fear in my heart that you, after watching film, have single-handedly managed to achieve what the last 37 coaches and teams have failed to do...I'm re-thinking even making the drive.:rolleyes:

[OldBison75]

Each year in towns across the state, players and fans look at their teams with homer eyes and hope for a great season. As the first game approaches, they start to make plans for the best season in years and hope that some little things like injuries, bad grades, or bad attitudes don't derail the program. As the first game is played, and if they win, the visions grow into real dreams. If they are lucky enough and good enough to win three or four in a row, the fan base grows and the belief that this is their year sets in. The offensive line that was suspect in the preseason drills and scrimmages becomes a strength in the mind of the fan. The good running back is now becoming great. The QB is now the field general and can probably compete with anybody on the college level. Then district comes around and if the winning keep up, the five guys on the line that wer 6'2" 240 at the start of the season are now 6'4"nd 275 and the best in the district. The back is now the fastest and hardest to tackle ever, and the QB is now a sure fire starter at the next level. And, the legacy and expectations just keep growing. Each week the confidence of the fans doubles in proportion to the confidence growth of the players. By the fourth week of the playoffs, if you are still playing you are now a true rabid fan. Your team cannot lose and you have every answer for any one that is not a total believer in your team.

This is a normal progression and not unexpected of anyone. One day, the dreams are shattered and reality must set in. A team has finally beaten you and now you have to re-evaluate your assessment of your team. They were either beaten by excuses, or they were beaten by other high school kids that were either better prepared, better disciplined, or just plain better.

By this point in the season, every team is capable of playing well enought to beat anyone else. There are still surprises, but these are not that someone beat someone else, but that a team dominates on the field against a team that appears to be it's equal. These games are usually the result of momentum and confidence and experience by one team over the other.

This game falls into this same pattern. Two teams with high expectations at the start of the season. The two teams have built on early season successes and have improved each week. Confidence is at a all season high and the fans are floating on cloud nine.

Liberty Hill has the advantage of experience in these type games to draw on. Bridgeport is on a wave of excitement and wanting to be the team that beats the previously unbeatable. Can Bridgeport keep the emotion high without being too anxious to prove to the world that they have the solution to the Slot-T?

I have seen several of these games and that is the main problem with the newcomer, they are anxious to prove themselves and in the early stages of the game they overplay on defense and try to do too much on offense to make a statement early. This often causes mental and positional errors that let the experienced team jump to an early lead. Then the character of the team that is the challenger is tested. Can they right the ship and fight back into the game, or do they press harder and fall further in the hole?

This will be two great teams, both with the ability to win this game on the field. It is the character of the players that win the game. Whoever plays thier game plan the best, wins. If either team has to stray from the game plan to try and catch up, then the game dynamics change. I have seen LH for two years have success by sticking with the game plan no matter what. The jury is still out on Bridgeport on whether the can do the same.

There will be about 50 great athletes on the field, 22 at any given time in this game. Execution will be the winning formula, not size, not speed, and definitely not any single player.

How many NFL teams run the Slot-T? Point being---In HS it doesn't matter what you run as long as you have got the horses to run it and the coaching staff to coach it and your players buy into it 100%.

[Misdirection]

Llano played both of this exceptional teams this year. Both have very good offenses but this game will be won or lost on defense. Liberty hill only gave up 240 yards and 17 points against Llano. They held Llano to their lowest offensive production of the year. Bridgeport on the other hand gave up a whopping 433 yards and 27 points against Llano. There is no question here, Bridgeport is a very good team but will fall to Liberty Hill on Saturday. Good luck to both teams. It should be a great battle. Go Panthers!!!

They are big, strong, athletic, and more importantly very very smart. We can debate all other aspects, but this is fact Liberty Hillbillies!!!

Wow an O-line that is so dominate that a debate is not even allowed. I hope you don’t explode when the LH defense is putting pressure on your QB. :rolleyes:

[stonedigger]

Misdirection -- I agree with your assessment. LH will control their destiny with their defense. While the Bulls are a very good team, their success is more concentrated in fewer ball handlers.

And BTW Old Bison, You are wiser than your years, whatever they may be.

This has been re-counted many times in many other threads, but how did LH beat Gilmer 38-13 in the 07' title game? I am interested in the game account as Gilmer had a very prolific offense and LH held them to 13 points.

By being very physical, our defense smothered them all night long.

One stand out was our DE, Marlow, he had an outstanding game. In fact he went on to be the defensive MVP of the North South All Star game.

Because I want to hear other perspectives on how LH was able to stop a very good offense and I don't recall the details of that game and I am too lazy to go search for the threads.

[08Panther]

Actually, it could have been 45-13, LH took a knee like 3 times inside the 5 yard line to end the game. Another big factor in the score was Gilmer went for it on 4th down several times, and didn't make it. I actually give the Gilmer coach some credit for that, he was taking chances to try and get in the game, he could have punted and possibly kept the score a little closer.

Yeah, I forgot about that, he didn’t have a problem going for it on 4th down, regardless of where they were on the field. How many 4th down stops did we have?

I believe one of Gilmers scores was a kickoff return for a TD.

Defense is the # 1 reason:

1) The LH defense is without a doubt one of the most swarming defenses out there. It's not just a one or two man show.
You will see anywhere from 5-7 defenders in on the majority of the tackles, and this is no exageration.
2) The LB's are very good at keeping their feet clean and clear, and make very good reads.
3) Though things from past game films can be exploited at times, the coaching staff makes EXCELLENT adjustments, all the time!
4) Got our offense back on the field with very good field position...you don't want us starting at mid-field the whole game!

Those are my thoughts on why LH did what they did to Gilmer, and may other teams with prolific offenses.

I never would have believed that LH could shut Gilmer's offense down the way they did last year! I had watched Gilmer's offense 3 weeks in a row (Mabank, Velt & Wylie) and while they struggled a bit against Mabank (cold & rainy day) they had no trouble moving up & down the field against Velt & Wylie! I just didn't think LH had the speed to keep up with their WRs nor the strength & size to penetrate Gilmer's DI filled Oline. Boy was I ever WRONG!

Traylor is a gutsy coach, to a fault sometimes. He went for it on 4th down about 4 times in that game and gave LH a short field.

The Liberty Hill defense only gave up 7 points. The first 7 came off the kick off return to start the game!

Gilmer's D just couldn't stop LH and Gilmer's O was going NOWHERE against LH's defense. Had the Gilmer QB been healthy (broken thumb) they might have kept the score closer, but they still wouldn't have won because their D could not stop LH.

That's just my 2 cents FWIW.

[08Panther]

Yes, there were at least 3-4 times Gilmer went for it on 4th down, and anywhere between the 20 and the 50, giving LH a short field. Marlowe and Cole Rogers both had huge games at DE that day, Gilmer didn't have time to throw.

Now THAT's the kind of thing I was hoping for, P4S. Thanks.
This is the part that I remember now from that game that was so critical:
"Traylor is a gutsy coach, to a fault sometimes. He went for it on 4th down about 4 times in that game and gave LH a short field."
I hope the Bulls will not have to gamble like this on Sat.

We did get several short field opportunists, however it would not have mattered if we would have had to go the full distance of the field that day. We totally dominated on both sides of the ball. If you went back and looked at the stats I think it would show that.
Man that was a great day. There is not another feeling in the world like it.

Man that was a great day. There is not another feeling in the world like it.

You can't really say, with any certainity, that it wouldn't have mattered. Gilmer DID stop yall a few times. Just not enough.

What, the feeling of freakin' frozen? I don't know about you, but my balls-of-jolly were cold.

[slpybear the bullfan]

Does anyone have any links to some video on the web of LH? I know we had some links for the Bulls...wondering if there were any for LH?

[CSG'S FO LIFE]

Ill take liberty hill, just because they have won back to back state championships. I havent seem them play in person but i have seen them both on film. Bridgeport looks like their a quick strike offense that can erupt on any play. It will hopefully be a good game between two very different types of offenses.

I thought you said you watched all of our games this year on film, but that is obviously not so or you would not be making that statement. That really wasn’t the problem. Besides that was week 3 of the season and if you think we haven’t improved since then, you’re in for a real treat Saturday.

Well this thread has hashed, re-hashed, bashed and re-bashed everything that you can think of related to this game.

So, I'm just wondering who'll be tailgating on Saturday before the Bovine Butchering?

Panthers roll on to 38-0 with a score of 56-21. See ya'll there.

To listen to all the Liberty Hillbillies you would think the Panthers are the only team in the state that has improved since week 3. I guess it sucks that we have only gotten worse every week. In fact, I think we have only gone downhill since the maroon and white scrimmage in August.

Here's the deal, if we lose big deal, great season. If you guys lose I think we better get ready for mass suicide in addition to all the wife and child beatings that will take place in Panther land! It's obvious that many of you are over-invested in a bunch of 16-18 year old kids. Can't wait to see all the drop-jawed fans sitting in dead silence while our kids celebrate on Saturday night. Somebody better order some extra Zoloft and Paxil at the LH Pharmacy!!! I will have a tender spot for all the kids that have contributed to an incredible year, but will be laughing my A#% off at all you fans!!!

Actually, it could have been 45-13, LH took a knee like 3 times inside the 5 yard line to end the game. Another big factor in the score was Gilmer went for it on 4th down several times, and didn't make it. I actually give the Gilmer coach some credit for that, he was taking chances to try and get in the game, he could have punted and possibly kept the score a little closer.

I may be wrong, but I think that on forth down the stat was 2 of 9 attempts.

This post is ridiculous. You have taken a great thread and tarnished it with stupidity. This game Saturday night is not about the fans, it is about the young men that have busted their tails to get to this point. Not one fan will play any part in the outcome of this contest Saturday night. It is one thing to be proud and supportive, which I feel most Bulls fans are. Most have shown class even while having fun in the 70 plus pages of this thread. I don't think you represent them very well with your lack of maturity. As for Liberty Hill and their fans... I think back to back championships and a 37 game winning streak shouls cause a little pride in their community. If I was in their boat I would be proud of what their teams have accomplished as well.

Two words BigBully...... Grow Up!

You’re the one who brought up the Brownwood game and I have never said ya’ll haven’t improved as the season has progressed. Now… will you be good enough to beat the Panthers, well the jury is still out on that one. I don’t think so, but if you do we will have NOTHING to hang our heads about. We will be thanking our kids for a hellva ride and telling them how extremely proud we are of them.

Sounds to me like the Panthers have gotten under your skin Big Bully:D

[CHS_89]

Is that the 07 season? I thought I saw Allman in there. That kid was tough along with many others. Bridgeport: You are going to have to slow down the LH offense and force then to turn the ball over. On the other hand, a turnover to LH from your O will more than likely result in a TD for them. If they get 5-6 yards on first down, it will be a very long night. Their offense chews up the clock. The misdirection they use is very confusing from an opposing fans perspective. I can only imagine what it is like on the field. I wish both teams the best and I wish I could be there to see the game.

that is neat to watch that offense, it is like shooting 3 or 4 out of the backfield and hoping you chase the right one. i like the build up this game is getting and i hope it lives up to it

Obviously if you guys lose everyone will be proud of the streak, and the kids, and blah blah blah. However, that will be of little relief for the gnawing, nauseating, sick feeling you guys will have in the pit of your stomach when you lose. Especially when you return to this site and see all the gloating I will be doing.

Nobody starts both ways. Starters for one side are backups for the other side and vise versa.

I like 49-21. I might have thrown some other scores around earlier in the week, but that was my first guess while watching the Bulls play Llano, and I still feel like my gut feeling will be right. So that's my final answer. LOL.

What team that we have played in the last two years do the Bulls remind you of? I ask because I've not seen them play. I've only seen the videos on the newspaper site. Just wondering. I think it will be a much closer game so I'm wondering what makes you think it would be that big of a margin.

Why are you so angry?

Why you may wish us to be in true anguish after the game, I do not wish that on any of the Bull parents, fans or especially the kids. After every play-off game we have won I feel a little heartache for the opposing side. These kids work their tails off all year round to come out and represent their town and when they lose it’s sad. Especially for the seniors, for most it will be their last game.

This board is suppose to be clean fun banter between opposing fans, however there seems to be real animosity in your tone that I just don’t understand.

In fact, I have Daddy Deez Nutz my word that I would be back and post, at least once.

Here's the deal, I enjoy being a little, or a lot, antagonistic. I love high school football and am passing the time till Saturday in a somewhat juveneile way. I am very proud of the kids on both sides of the ball and they all deserve accolades and support regardless of the outcome. With that said, I really do enjoy getting some of these fans all irritated. I can almost see you guys wanting to come through the screen and choke me. The thing is, even if you could come through the screen all you would find is a grade-A butt whippin from a Bull Fan!!! See, now you are even more irritated. I won't lose one bit of sleep if the Bulls lose, but when the panthers lose, most of these LH fans will be up all night trying to figure out if the Bulls had any inelgible players on the field so they can protest the game! And there will be a few who get clinically depressed! Like I said, if you have a kid on the team, then you will suffer because your kid suffers. Those who don't need to check their priorities. And come on, Liberty Hillbillies is pretty funny! Almost as funny as Bridgeport-o-potties!!

I assure you the players don't think like a few fans on here. These are the most level headed kids you will ever meet. I'm sure your boys are too. You don't get this far and stay undeafeted by being too full of yourself.

Ok Bridgeport question time. Have the Bulls trailed at anytime this season (not counting the Monohans game)? Also are they more of a first half team that jumps out to an early lead or are they more of a second half team?

They looked just like Navasota. Very similar defense, and very similar offense with just a better offensive line. Oh, and their fans are just the same:)

Last year my gut feeling was that we would hang 50 on Navasota and run for over 600 yards and we did the later. But only scored 42, with 35 coming in the first half.

I just have a gut feeling that we will score 7 TD's to their 3, maybe 4.

LHex, I don't think the Bulls trailed anyone other than Monahans at the half. Yes, they have tended to run up 35 and 42 to 0 point margins at the half on several teams. We did not do that to Prosper, Argyle, Graham, LLano, or Monahans. I think we proved we can be a 2nd half team against Llano and Monahans.

Battle of the Undefeateds?
Bridgeport was whipped in dominating fashion last Friday night. Monahans ran up double the offensive yardage and won the turnover battle but lost as the yellow flags flew. I haven't read how Bridgeport fans left at halftime and beginning of the 3rd when Monahans shut them down then marched for another TD to go up by 21 but it happened. We all saw it and were watching the headlights roll out of the parking lot. I guess the good ole boys in the striped shirts couldn't let #1 get whipped by the green bunch. Sure there was a very small hold on the TD run to go up by 28 early in the 3rd but that is tiny compared to the huge hold on the 4th down run that kept the tieing drive alive. The same play where the kid was allowed to be tackled roll forward two yards and stretch out the ball for the all too generous spot. I had much respect for Bridgeport until I have seen all of this bragging when they know what happened. They should be silent for nothing more than leaving and not supporting their kids. Win or lose we have our kids backs and always will. I have been attacked for being a poor example for our kids, after all they should learn how to lose with dignity. What example is it to tell your kids if they lose, it don't matter our good ole boys will make sure the good ole boys in stripes put you in a position to win at game's end. I think LIberty Hill's undefeated record will get them a fair called game and I wish them luck. Go get em!

Yeah I left after Monahans scored their first touchdown. Then I decided to go back, but left again at halftime only to return when we stopped a 4th and short after the umpire tackled the running back. Then we scored so I decided to stay unless we let them score again. I was out of my seat again, but then I saw the line judge make a game saving tackle on the side lines followed by another ref blocking that punt (dang he was fast and had a long reach). Finally, when the umpire lined up for that 34 yard field goal I knew we would be playing this week so I stayed a few more minutes. It is so easy to win with a few extra players, even if they aren't wearing pads. Hopefully we will get more of the same this week. Just win baby!!!

I never would have believed that LH could shut Gilmer's offense down the way they did last year! I had watched Gilmer's offense 3 weeks in a row (Mabank, Velt & Wylie) and while they struggled a bit against Mabank (cold & rainy day) they had no trouble moving up & down the field against Velt & Wylie! I just didn't think LH had the speed to keep up with their WRs nor the strength & size to penetrate Gilmer's DI filled Oline. Boy was I ever WRONG!

Traylor is a gutsy coach, to a fault sometimes. He went for it on 4th down about 4 times in that game and gave LH a short field.

The Liberty Hill defense only gave up 7 points. The first 7 came off the kick off return to start the game!

Gilmer's D just couldn't stop LH and Gilmer's O was going NOWHERE against LH's defense. Had the Gilmer QB been healthy (broken thumb) they might have kept the score closer, but they still wouldn't have won because their D could not stop LH.

That's just my 2 cents FWIW.
Thank you for posting this! It sounds credible coming from someone who doesn't have Liberty Hill as their location. Otherwise, if one of us had posted the same, it would've been arrogance and bragging by some over-invested fans. ;)

Fiction so I quit reading after the first paragraph.
Monahans led the state with 419 yards of offense per game, an empty stat after the robbery last week but another team cannot be called the most powerful running attack. Before the game both teams should take a knee and give thanks that the most potent offensive attack in the state was sent home last week by the good ole boy zebra's.

When we get to page 100 I expect a Thank You!!!!! No, the shame is that you can't let it go that the Bulls beat the Loboes. And two times you said you were done with this board. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: As one of 5 fans who attended the game with no vested interest it's amazing to see you point out things that went against you but not that went for you. Just one example, the blocking in the back that our group saw on the long run by Titus, somehow you missed it. Sore grapes never smell good.:hand:

[bulls08]

WTFOOTBALL how come no one ever mentions the kickoff bridgeport recovered but the ref from the opposite side comes over and said he thought he heard a whistle so REKICK. That was the worst call ever. There were missed calls on both sides and i think it was pretty obvious there were at least 2 illegal blocks on #9's long run just before half that were uncalled. Just accept the L and move on.

[bulls08]

Am I the only one that thought that rekick was the worst call ever. I mean it hit the kid in the chest bounced right in bulls arms and we had to REKICK!

Instead of continuing to gripe about the refs, you should spend your energies contacting the Odessa American and getting them to correct your stats, since they have you with around 352/game, not including the Bridgeport & another playoff game. :thinking:

When you rush for over 5500 yards every year and run your way to back-to-back state titles, you develop a reputation. If the Lobos want to be considered the most powerful running game in the state, I suggest they use it to put a team away when they have the chance. They were up 28-7 in the third and failed to convert a 4th a short at the Bulls 15. If they score there, it's over. Hopefully you'll be a little more powerful next time.

And FYI, we average 447 yards per game and Bridgeport averages 457 yards per game, so I'm not sure where you got your info on leading the state, but it's definitely wrong.

[Bullish]

I have to agree that call on the kickoff in the Monahans game was one of the most puzzling I have ever seen. Bridgeport goes down, recovers the kickoff. Officials stand around having a conference for 2 or 3 minutes, then walk the ball back and have Bridgeport kick off again.

I don't think I recall a kickoff where no penalties were called, but the play just didn't count.

I think wtfootball is way off in his continuing complaining about the referees. Besides that, if Cameron Green hadn't been hobbled with that injury on the first offensive play of the game, it never would have come down to overtime anyway.

Having said that, I still congratulate the Loboes...they were a really good team, and they had a fine year.

I know the 44 comes from wishful thinking and an overactive imagination, but why 30? You think LH will get a safety, 15 safeties, 10 field goals, 3 TD and 3 FG, or 6 TDs and no extra pts. Not saying it won't happen just wondering what you are smoking?

I don't think I recall a kickoff where no penalties were called, but the play just didn't count.

Not sure if anyone ever posted the explanation on here... but the problem with the play was an inadvertent whistle by the ref on the Bulls sideline, behind the return man. He saw the ball come into the arms of the returner, and immediately blew the whistle, killing the play. However, the return man did not field the kick and it was fumbled. Problem being, once play is whistled dead, it didn't matter. The ruling for inadvertent whistle on a KO is a re-kick. Blech.

I do believe that after the powwow, that referee came over to Coach Henson and took all the blame for that one.

I could have lived with that, but I sure wish they would have called more of the holds and illegal blocks they missed. It sure was hard playing Monahans when they had 13, 14, and sometimes 15 on Offense. ;)

What team that we have played in the last two years do the Bulls remind you of? I ask because I've not seen them play. I've only seen the videos on the newspaper site. Just wondering. I think it will be a much closer game so I'm wondering what makes you think it would be that big of a margin.
Someone compared them to Navasota, but I don't see it. The Rattlers were more talented individually with guys like Pratt, Jackson, and Stokes, but weren't as fundamentally sound as a team. The Navasota O-line was also pretty poor, their defense was a tad undisciplined, and their defensive gameplan was BAD and not one I expect the Bulls to emulate.

Bridgeport reminds me a lot of the 2006 Hondo team. Hondo came into that game 14-0, beating opponents by an average of 46-10, including a 42-35 win over top 5 Wimberley the week before playing us. Bridgeport enters this game 12-0, outscoring opponents 47-18.

Offense
RB Corbin Green is very similar to Hondo's Andy Werner in size, speed, and athleticism (Werner signed with Montana State, but last I heard had left the team for personal reasons). QB Cameron Green is also very similar to Hondo's Hackebeil in passing ability. Green is a little smaller and quicker, though, and will present a bigger challenge for our defense using his athleticism to avoid the rush.

As for receivers, the Bulls are very similar to that Hondo team, too. They don't really have any dominant studs like a Navasota or Gilmer, but they are athletic, will get open, and are very good after the catch. They're not much different than this year's Burnet's receivers, which makes tackling the point of emphasis for our defense. Aside from not being able to defend the screen, what killed us against the Bulldogs was missed tackles. We can't let a five yard out turn into a 40 yard touchdown this week. We have to make that tackle.

What separates Bridgeport from the 2006 Hondo team is the O-line. I would put them a notch above what the Owls had in 2006. In all honesty, I think that's what most separates Bridgeport's offense from a Wimberley or Burnet. Those two programs are pretty talented at the skill positions every year, but their lines have been average of late. The 2006 Texan core of Beaty, Buse, Thompson, and Samuels was just as, if not more potent than what Bridgeport has this year. They just didn't have as strong of a line. We're definitely going to have to do more than rush four to get pressure on Green, but we're going to have to do so without giving up outside containment. If you let him get out of the pocket, he can hurt you with his legs or his arm.

Despite the spread offense, Bridgeport is as balanced as it gets and has a very effective running game. They do a good job of spreading the defense out and creating running room for the backs. While most people think the way to beat us is with the pass, I don't see them abandoning the running game and I fully expect them to use draws and screens against our pass rush. Depending on the health of QB Green, I would also expect to see some designed rollouts and sprintouts to nullify the rush and let Green's athleticism put pressure on our defense. They're most dangerous when running the ball effectively, so if we can limit the ground game and force them into a passing mode, I actually think we are better off, contrary to popular belief. It wasn't the passing game that hurt Llano. It was Llano's inability to stop the run.

Defense
The Bulls' defense is similar to the 2006 Hondo team, as well, but also to some of the teams we've faced this year. I would liken them to a Burnet, as far as size and talent goes. When they've played good teams, they've given up points (31, 24, 27, 28). In most of their games, they've been able to build early leads and force teams to play catch-up, which plays into their defense's hands. I think they are vulnerable to the run, which has been exploited the past two weeks, and thus can be beaten with play-action if they start stacking the box.

I don't expect them to mimic Sweetwater's defensive scheme, because one, they aren't quite as talented on defense as the Mustangs, and two, it has major weaknesses. When you shoot gaps and fill running lanes, you take away a lot of our inside running game, but you leave yourself vulnerable on the edge and to the big play, which showed last week. Then when your secondary starts cheating to help out on the sweeps, you get beat by playaction, which also showed last week.

I also don't expect them to follow Vernon's lead with a softer, protect against the big play defense. I can't see the Bull's being content with us running right at them for four to eight yards a pop. When you're an inferior team, it's a good strategy to help shorten the game, keep the score down, and hope for a mistake to get back into it. In giving up plenty of yards on the ground the past two games, I don't think the Bridgeport coaches or players are the frame of mind to give up rushing yards early. They know that winning depends on the defense.

I think they'll give us multiple looks and mix up what they do. I think they'll pick their spots on when to be aggressive and when to be a little more cautious. They'll base it on our tendencies, formations, and motion. They'll probably also mix up their keys to keep us guessing on what they're reading play to play. I think they'll have some success throughout the game stuffing some plays, but for the most part, I think we'll be able to move the ball pretty consistently. I think we'll have a pretty flexible offensive game plan this week and will probably see several plays we've worked on all season, but have rarely, if ever, run in a game.

For a prediction (assuming even turnovers)...

Liberty Hill 42, Bridgeport 28

Can't miss!! Pack some bologna sandwiches or Vienna sausages. Isn't that where tired bulls end up?

Good assessment Panther One. On a side note...what made the '05 Texans a championship team was the defense....but i am sure you know that. We were up 20-0 in the 1st quarter against Hondo in '06 and still lost the game. D-E-F-E-N-S-E.

This is where this game will be decided.

I'm going to have to side with my buddy Panther One.

Don't act like the Wimberley offense did nothing in the '05 playoffs. I think you guys still have the largest average margin of victory for a playoff team (WOS87 can verify that). I was at the Gainesville game to see the Texans win it all. Gainesville had almost an equally talented defense, but it was Buse's long TD run and Thompson's TD catch that was the difference. Those two had a pretty BIG role in handing us our last defeat, too.

I do think defense will win this game, but not smothering defense. A timely stop or two might be all that it takes.

True...true...the offense did come alive in the '05 play offs..but the defense was the rock. Which, by the way, is what LH has been able to do too in the last 2.5 yrs. I suspect the same this weekend, but there is that unknown factor with BP...there is something I can't put my finger on that intrigues me when I think of this game. We shall see.

Also, anyone have any "Can't miss it" suggestions on where to eat down there?

I don't know if you're in to Barbeque, but Rudy's is pretty good. It's right across I-35 from the Valley Mills exit which you have to take to go to Floyd Casey. George's is an exit before that, good chicken fried steak and burgers. It just depends on what you're looking for. Oh, by the way, LH IN A ROMP!!;)

Hey, Daddy D11

Good morning. I just wanted to say I was only kidding when I said you were a gripey guy. I don't believe in hurting someone's feelings, and though I wasn't sure I had, just wanted you to know.

I've enjoyed your posts, and appreciate your Panther passion.

I'll be across the stadium from you tomorrow night....look for me...I'll be wearing maroon.

Even though I wouldn't want to hurt your feelings, I sure am hoping the Bulls do exactly that.

Someone compared them to Navasota, but I don't see it. The Rattlers were more talented individually with guys like Pratt, Jackson, and Stokes, but weren't as fundamentally sound as a team. The Navasota O-line was also pretty poor, their defense was a tad undisciplined, and their defensive gameplan was BAD and not one I expect the Bulls to emulate.

Bridgeport reminds me a lot of the 2006 Hondo team. Hondo came into that game 14-0, beating opponents by an average of 46-10, including a 42-35 win over top 5 Wimberley the week before playing us. Bridgeport enters this game 12-0, outscoring opponents 47-18.

Offense
RB Corbin Green is very similar to Hondo's Andy Werner in size, speed, and athleticism (Werner signed with Montana State, but last I heard had left the team for personal reasons). QB Cameron Green is also very similar to Hondo's Hackebeil in passing ability. Green is a little smaller and quicker, though, and will present a bigger challenge for our defense using his athleticism to avoid the rush.

As for receivers, the Bulls are very similar to that Hondo team, too. They don't really have any dominant studs like a Navasota or Gilmer, but they are athletic, will get open, and are very good after the catch. They're not much different than this year's Burnet's receivers, which makes tackling the point of emphasis for our defense. Aside from not being able to defend the screen, what killed us against the Bulldogs was missed tackles. We can't let a five yard out turn into a 40 yard touchdown this week. We have to make that tackle.

What separates Bridgeport from the 2006 Hondo team is the O-line. I would put them a notch above what the Owls had in 2006. In all honesty, I think that's what most separates Bridgeport's offense from a Wimberley or Burnet. Those two programs are pretty talented at the skill positions every year, but their lines have been average of late. The 2006 Texan core of Beaty, Buse, Thompson, and Samuels was just as, if not more potent than what Bridgeport has this year. They just didn't have as strong of a line. We're definitely going to have to do more than rush four to get pressure on Green, but we're going to have to do so without giving up outside containment. If you let him get out of the pocket, he can hurt you with his legs or his arm.

Despite the spread offense, Bridgeport is as balanced as it gets and has a very effective running game. They do a good job of spreading the defense out and creating running room for the backs. While most people think the way to beat us is with the pass, I don't see them abandoning the running game and I fully expect them to use draws and screens against our pass rush. Depending on the health of QB Green, I would also expect to see some designed rollouts and sprintouts to nullify the rush and let Green's athleticism put pressure on our defense. They're most dangerous when running the ball effectively, so if we can limit the ground game and force them into a passing mode, I actually think we are better off, contrary to popular belief. It wasn't the passing game that hurt Llano. It was Llano's inability to stop the run.

Defense
The Bulls' defense is similar to the 2006 Hondo team, as well, but also to some of the teams we've faced this year. I would liken them to a Burnet, as far as size and talent goes.

Liberty Hill 42, Bridgeport 28

This has been the best post in this entire thread. You have nailed the Bulls in a nutshell. I think your assessments of the team are right on the money. The Bulls have had teams in the past that have had outstanding athletes but this team does not have that, they have a lot of good athletes that play great together as a team.

All that being said I think Liberty Hill has the better team this weekend, but turnovers could be the key to this game. We differ a little on the outcome of the game. Of course I want my Bulls to win but regardless if the Green boys are healthy this really going to be a great game. I think its going to be close and no matter what happens. I hope we come out out of it seeing one of the best bullfights of all time!! Again just an outstanding post Panther One!!

[runtowin]

I have been reading this for too long. Bottom line is if BP can hold LH to less than 5 yards per carry and force some turnovers, they have a chance. I don't see that happening. They are allowing teams about a 5 yard average per carry and there aren't many teams more dedicated to the run. Example, in overtime Monohans ran the ball for 7 yards on the first play then abandoned the run. LH will not abandon the run. Celina 06 had 11 men within 3-4 yards of the ball and LH ran it all night. BP's weak spot is defending the run and that is LH's strength. Other than Llano, who has run the ball 70+ times on the BP defense? On the other hand, LH' weakness is defending the pass, which seems to be BP's strength. But as we all know there are more bad things that happen when you throw the ball versus running the ball. The more physically dominating team, not the finesse team should win this game. TAKE YOUR PICK!

[Super_R]

Lets face it. Trying to stop LH's running game is like trying to eat soup with a fork...no matter how hard you try the results don't change and it'll just piss you off.

Best analysis I have heard so far, but Panther One is known for his wisdom. The first team I thought of when we watched the Bridgeport film was Burnet. We had the same exact discussion, Burnet with a better O-line.

[runtowin]

Burnet was a close game and BP has better lineman. That could be trouble. The difference is that Burnet has a better defense than BP and knows the LH offense, they have seen it every year and twice a year now the Llano runs it. Plus I think maybe LH has worked on a few screens since then.

Somewhere about 10:00 pm last night this thread became the third most replied to thread on the downlow with 1185 posts. That puts it behind the old Trivia question thread at 4160 replies and Word Association at 8795 posts.

And along the way it has also become the second most viewed thread on the downlow, with 33,000+ views... trailing only one thread titled "For Tech Fans and anybody else that cares" (which has only one post linking to photos of their victory over OU in '07, was locked, and had 100,000+ views... I am guessing it was linked to some blogs, webpages, etc to get that many hits.)

So, with over a day and a half before kickoff, this thread became the most popular HS FB game ever discussed on the 3adownlow.

Wow... a GREAT set of fans on both sides... plus some great fans of TX HS FB jumpin in as well.

Thanks All!

That's right, LHex---the school board was getting so many complaints from teams that were getting beat so badly by our boys that they decided to start letting our girls play instead. If LH manages to get ahead of them, we will be allowed to send a few of the boys in. :D

That's right completely unstoppable. Positive yardage all night long and a touchdown every play. That's how we roll, we invented running the football. Heck we invented football. You do realize you are playing a team that has won 37 games in a row right? I know it's hard for you to count to 37, but maybe you can ask someone how much that is. And if you think about it we only lost a game before that streak started because REFS in Wimperley cheated us somehow someway. As a matter of fact are you sure your Sissies are even qualified to be on the same field as us. ;)

You do realize you are playing a team that has won 37 games in a row right? I know it's hard for you to count to 37, but maybe you can ask someone how much that is. And if you think about it we only lost a game before that streak started because REFS in Wimperley cheated us somehow someway. As a matter of fact are you sure your Sissies are even qualified to be on the same field as us. ;)


That's right...37 games in a row...3 more wins, and that number will match LHex's pants size!!!

This is the truth.:D

One dimensional yes, but 3 or 4 backs going in different directions and lineman running at LBs from different angles is not quite one dimensional. IF you can do it, you will do something nobody has done consistantly over the last 40+ games. The two losses in 06 were due to not being able to stop the other team, not by being stopped offensively. In fact the offense has been about the same since 2002, it is the defense that makes this team what it is now!

I agree. It is going to be a huge surprise to these Bridgeport Bullies when the Overrated Panthers roll on to #38!

and responding to the comments about the graphic on the side of their run-through tunnel....would it be too far fetched to nick-name it the POOP CHUTE?

VERY, VERY TRUE!:clap:

The lowest point totals that I can even remember are 22 to Celina in 2006, 9 to Wimberley in 2005. Besides that, the other 50+ games we haven't exactly been stopped.

Since 2002 Vance and the Panthers have been held to under 21 points only six times. So the Bulls chances don't look very good:taunt:
