A lack of familiarity with Vidors offense can cause problems.... which it did for sc . I think if you play that game a few more times, sc would win bigger each time.  One thing Ned would have to do if they were to play sc is finish. They had several short fields against Dayton and came away empty handed. Neds run game won't move the chains on sc like it did Dayton unless they find a way to start hiding he ball and sc's defenders won't let kimler run by.... for multiple reasons. Lots would have to happen for this game to be possible, but i just see sc stopping most traditional running attacks. Another worry in opinion is the fact that the Dayton qbs were able to scramble around.... sharp will hit the open man in this situation .

All very good points! Also, it had credibility coming from a guy who has seen both teams in person!

You gotta discount anything a Pirate fan says about SC. Vidor got embarassed any they're still pissed. It had to be very disheartening to know exactly what SC was going to do an not be able to stop it.

Our offense is as complete as it gets. Now if U want to pick at our defense, you may have more luck. Having said that, SC's defense is the best Vidor has seen this year. All those forced turnovers and go back and look at the game http://youtu.be/kDyHNRAgzWk and you'll see a very physical defense that laid down some vicious hits.

So, what happens when the "Greatest Show on Turf" faces a complete defense? You keep picking on Nederland, but who would you say is the best D you have faced? I promise Nederland has a better defense than ANY you have faced. Here's a few stats since you are a numbers guy:

1. Vidor had the most yards all season on Ned with 311. They scored 13 points and their last TD came with 1 minute left. How many yards and points did they have against y'all?

2. Ned defense has allowed only 87 yards per game passing And has 17 INT. I bring this up since you feel that your Bulldogs would burn Neds 2ndary all game long. Doubtful.

3. Angleton is the only team all season to score more than 21 on Ned. They scored 39 and were aided by 5 Ned turnovers. The only other 2 teams to score more than 14 BOTH scored on the last play of the game against 2nd string D. Those teams were GCM and LCM.

4. Y'all gave up nearly 500 yards to Crosby. Ned held them to 159 and 7 points.

5. You asked earlier if Neds defense is similar to Vidor. Nederland is much bigger on the D Line and has a much better secondary in my opinion.

I hope this game happens down the road. Lots of work to be done for both teams to make it happen. I have no doubts that the SC offense would be by far the best offense Ned has faced, but I will promise SC has yet to face a defense as Ned. Good luck this weekend vs. a very solid Georgetown team. Are y'all good? Yes. Are y'all great? I'm not ready to say yes to that YET. I don't know how good Ned truly is or how far they will go, but I can assure you they aren't near as bad as many of you are thinking!

Montana and three or four of his teammates were at Lamar yesterday supporting Nederland. They seem like good kids and I liked the blonde playoff Mohawks!

Exact same score as the Crosby game the first week of the season, has Ned made major improvement since then?
[/quote]

Nederland is much better now than they were at the beginning of the season. I am sure that can be said for most teams across the board though. The major improvement in my opinion has been the development of the offensive line, the emergence of Hopkins, and the opening up of the playbook the last few weeks. The defense has been salty since the beginning.

i think it has been a big down year for most of setx....other than a few teams in the area most teams were a lot less talented than previous years
[/quote]

Ummm.. The only 20-4A team still playing is not having a down year. In fact, I think this is the best overall Nederland team in the Neumann era.

It was a good ball game. Nederland was firing on all cylinders for most of the game but left a few points on the field with penalties and a couple miscues deep in Bronco territory. I was very impressed with #60 on defense for Dayton. He was a monster all game long. I was also much more impressed with the Dayton offense when #10 was QB. Nederland D was flying all over the field and would have probably gotten the shutout if not for a couple 4th and long conversions. Broncos made it interesting at the end with the onside kick and never quit. Nederland is starting to show a lot more on offense and it's pretty exciting to watch. Keep it going Dogs! Good game, Broncos and I am sure we will meet again soon. P.S. the officiating was not very good but thankfully it did not impact the game too much.

Dayton vistors or home?

This should be a great game. The team that makes the least amount of mistakes will win it. I expect a great effort from Dayton after last weeks debacle. Nederland has been looking better and better each week. Hoping for a clean and injury free game. About to head out in about 30 minutes!

26-17 Kelly at half

17-5 Kelly

17-5 Kelly 2:16 1st

Kelly 6
LCM 5
4:13 1st q

6-2 Kelly 5:00 1st q

I still think this game will be a WAR. No team is ever as good or as bad as their last game. Dayton was 9-0 before a bad outing against a very good team last night. This will because very tough game for us. I hope the Dogs come out hungry and focused.

Someone have up on Mitchell and the cental football team.  Mitchell got hurt, but came back and threw an interception.  He was then benched for the rest of the game.  More on this later.  But I'm glad that the unemployment line will be so kind to someone.

Congrats to Nederland on the convincing win.  I wish y'all well in the playoffs.

Not sure what the update is.. Mitchell played first two series and had little success. Fumbled on 3rd play of game fighting for yardage. Got hit hard on the next series and left with injury. Sat out a few series and came back in. He was limping at that point. Threw a pick 6 toward end of first half and never returned. I think the coach made the right call leaving the soph in. He was a dual threat and with the injury I don't think Mitchell was gonna run much. I was very impressed with the soph. He's gonna be a good one!

Good game, Jags! These two teams seemed to have a lot of respect for each other. Pretty clean game for the most part. I was quite impressed with your soph QB that came in. He is gonna be a really good one I think. Also, your WRs made some great catches in traffic. My Dogs played pretty well other than a few too many penalties. Most importantly, I think the Dogs escaped injury free. Central will definitely be in the playoff mix in 2013 in my opinion.

Kelly trails 29-28 in 4th

Kelly leads 28-21 start of 4th

Bulldogs VETO Jaguars Playoff Chances

Nederland will win this game. Jags still clearly the underdog? That's why they play the game. The defense is the weak link besides coaching. They contain LCM Sezer and their half decent pass game. Why is it so far fetch that the jags even have a shot?
[/quote]

Yes, Nederland is the favorite. Why? Because they have been more consistent and won all their district games. Yes, Central is the underdog in this game. Do underdogs sometimes beat favorites? Yes, they do. Can Central win this game? Yes, they can. If both teams play the way they have most of the season, who would you pick to win?

[quote name="ace2335" post="1322412" timestamp="1352267687"]
OBAMA pulled off the upset according to TEXANS. again without the states electoral votes. So why can't the Jags do the same? Comparison OBAMA hated by most TEXANS as you can see based on the numbers in Texas!! The Jags straight an clearly the underdog in this district match!! Anything can happen. Good luck to both teams.
[/quote]

Nice try. Obama was far from an underdog in this election. Vegas had him as a 3 1/2 to 1 favorite. He was the underdog in Texas and did lose Texas. I have no clue what this has to do with Friday night's game though.

Ozen wins 40-7

Very young team. Gonna have to be patient in early season. The schedule is brutal, but we should be ready by conference. Of the new guys, I was most impressed with Kieland Blanks, Amos Wilson, and Rhon Mitchell. The only returnee that played well in 1st exhibition was Donley Minor. Our inside guys were non-existent against McMurry.

Also, Nederland is due for a letdown.  Better before the playoffs.  Really, nothing to play for.  Just  to think about it, didn't those guys have a near letdown against that same LC-M Bear team already in district?  And on top of that, Central sees the light at the end of a very dark tunnel thus far.  Beat this team and then, cha-ching.  Your playoff ticket is punched.
[/quote]

Since we are talking about letdowns and pointing out flaws about Nederland, let's look at what the Jags are going to face. Critique all you want and pick apart any of our WINS you want. A WIN is a WIN and Nederland has won their last SIXTEEN district games! Central has 3 losses in district and by the way the Dogs beat those teams by a combined 78-20! Central has been Jeckyl and Hyde all season long and if you are depending on us being "due for a letdown" to win this game, then good luck with that. Back to back undefeated district championships and a HOME game to boot? Nederland also has Back to back shutouts the last two games and out scored thd opponents 83-0. Can the Jags win? Sure they can. But, give me the consistent team with the consistent results week in and week out vs. a Jeckyll and Hyde team any day of the week. No team is ever as good or as bad as their last game either. Things normally revert back to the mean. Nederland wins against an inspired Jags team in this one 31-20.

[/quote]It's true what you say about the Jags.  We are how you describe us as....  Inconsistent.  But, my comment about Nederland was not more of a diss, but as a compliment.  Those Guys are playing so good, one would think they are due for a letdown (better now than in the playoffs).  So, in a sense, I guess I'm HOEING for aBulldog letdown.  :D
