We saw tonight how much Beck meant to the Nederland defense. Nederland was not very deep, but that is not unusual, they’ve just been healthy the last few years. He was the run stuffer and made things go on that side of the ball.

This ignorance is really rich

You gonna be okay bud

The folks who make predictions have a hard time, because you can truly throw the records out in most cases when these two face off, including this year. Last year, Nederland was by far the better football team, and probably should've won by the 14 being predicted by the experts. But this game rarely plays out how you think and normally comes down to the 4th quarter. Good luck boys, make a memory.

RJ was recruited to Texas to play QB and volunteered to switch to runningback after a series of injuries decimated the Horns backfield.

How many TD passes or passing yards did RJ have in his MCM career? The dude straight ran the football down Nederland's throat for 3 straight years... so I think UT got it right. The kid will be playing on Sunday's in a couple of years.

Barrow always adjusts to his personnel. Last year they had a big athletic full back, so they ran more 3 wr sets with the fullback. This year is anybody's guess how it lands, as it doesn't look like they are still figuring out the backfield situation.

Winning attracts winning

I think Preston is/was as good as the Marshall kid, but like you said, Marshall isn't done yet.

Crosby will handle the FBM running game, then it's just containing the big play to Marshall, he's a handful.

Nederland did try to play ball control, and got manhandled on the line of scrimmage. When they had a chance for a big play early, didn't convert what looked to be a TD pass, special teams had an early mishap, Ned got off to a bad start and never was able to swing any momentum. Crosby should be able to fire some early shots and be in the game to win it.

Comic Relief...

Maybe that's why he said he doesn't see 55... maybe he's seen Nederland play and has an idea of how they'll gameplan?

It is head to head first, but with all 3 at 1-1, it would go to points, in which case its BH 2, Ned 3, PNG 4

Correct, its points if all have the same record.

You're not a fan, so it's cool

BH, Ned, PNG

Dogs be Dogs, that is all

Ponies on defense too??? See you soon Cougs

Ponies are loose.... lookout

Come on Monte, save some for Crosby, keep some ponies in the stable

Maybe Ned will breakout the special 3rd play now... or save it for Crosby???

Yeah, maybe they'll break out that 2nd pony in the 2nd half

The last two posts in succession are irony gold

Yeah, I don't know what the Ned coaches are getting paid for, having just one play in their book. Not sure why they come to the line and look to the sideline for anything, that's really tricky of them.
