Pulling for CS. Keep to the running game & you win 35-14.

Ok. Here me out. I hate generalizing but bear with me. this has always been my issue with the Double Wing T / Slot T / Wing T. it’s not that it’s not a good offensive scheme it actually is very good. That type of offense is absolutely brutal to not only the running back and the quarterback, but also the lineman. To complicate things even further most of your athletes on offense, skill players will be playing on defense where they will get the majority of the contact. By the time the player gets to mid third-quarter or fourth, the skill players are completely exhausted from running up to middle and being tackled every 3 yards x 6 people on top of them and then have to turn around and run and chase the other offense down. Cold spring running back was absolutely destroying the line of scrimmage, gaining 3/4 yards at a time and he did that for about 50/60 yards and his body just gave out he was probably exhausted because he probably played 70 to 80% of all the place. Playing 80% of the plays on both offense or defense is completely different at running back then at wide receiver like Travis Hunter. all this to say is the running of the wing T double wing T slot T is OK for liberty Hill because they have 5/6 running backs that are just as good as the starter but even two years ago injury caused them to lose a very big game, by a lot of points against PNG even though Orangefield‘s running back had 34 carries the majority of those carries were out on the flank and where he was only tackled by a few players, whereas Coldsprings running backs were tackled by five or six of Orangefield players, and that wears a kids body down None of what I’m saying is science all I’m saying is based off the last 14 years of seeing Orangefield run that kind of often it took a toll on running backs for the last 12 years the only one I can think that did not get hurt during his career was The kid that got 2,000 in a season.

It was for sure a back & forth game. fumbles, interceptions & penalties keep both teams in the game.

@TrojanWarrior08 Does Coldsprings not have a field goal kicker. ??

Prayer to your running back. That kid was a beast. It was a scary moment. it was a tough hard fight for both teams.

That’s running game is legit for Coldsprings

I think our kids have plenty experience playing that offense. They only dealt with a version on that for 14 long grueling seasons. Just put 9 in the box.

@TrojanWarrior08 makes sure you try the Visitors concession. They have killer food. this should be a tailing game for how both teams finish out the season.

If Orangefield pulls another game like Anahuac it will secure the confidence for the team. 1 game may be luck, 2 games may be a lucky streak but 3 good game for a team & will start the wheels of confidence & that could lead to kids believing in themselves. I for one am excited

If Orangefield QB can work that Play action pass with a little time he can put the ball in the area. With #2 establishing the run should be easier & having #17 as a back doesn’t lose you much. when we played Woodville our QB was on his back every play. Sometimes before the ball got to him from the center.

As I was hearing the Anahuac Football game on YouTube video, they mentioned Orangefield linebackers has a combined 200 solo tackles with #21 & #9 with 82 & 79 respectively. Coldsprings RB may not have faced kids like these.

What about Coldsprings ?? They beat Kirbyville didn’t they? so Orangefield EC Anahuac (not in order) & ….. Coldsprings ??

They didn’t use him at all last year either until the last quarter & they scored. He was extremely hard to bring down last night but they took or didn’t give him the ball to him much I think he would have been much more impactful going up field than dropping back.

I would take a wild guess that their physical overbearing offense scheme drags on the kids playing & also the lack of excitement of running the ball up the middle waiting on 3 yards or a miss tackle. Orangefield now has 3 full teams because kids are excited to play. of course this is just my opinions I have not taken a poll.

After last night’s performance I don’t see how Anahuac had 1,600 passing in 4 games & 400 rushing. maybe Orangefield defense did that much better. The Panthers QB had zero time to even think about setting up. 38-0. I think Orangefield talent at QB, RB & receivers was equal or better to those you mentioned for at least this game.

I’ll take it.

Let’s take one game at a time. but I’m excited about this offense.

Another TD

I hope they don’t change anything offensively. I was a little nervous with that prevent defense at the end of the 1/2.

Orangefield definitely has high energy. Hope it continues into the 2nd half.

Still looking forward to this game. Will gauge how much improvement Orangefield has made since the lost to “cheating” BC (I joke). I’ve been really impressed with the running of #17 coming in for #2. The O-Line is the big story for Orangefield. Pulling for an upset.

They haven’t played EC so when they do either Anahuac or Orangefield will be top seed then that may be for District.

Orangefield faces off with Anahuac for perhaps the District Title. I think both offense are clicking. Best Defense wins.

Honestly I think Orangefield gave them the Ole 9 in the box & blitz every gap just like teams did to them for so many years.

Well, things went south on the kickoff. They let the kick off go & Hardin thought it was going into the endzone for a touch back but the ball stoppped one the first yard line & Orangefield recovered the ball.
