This game is basically over. Excellent job Nederland!! Go get some

Ned is running at will. PNG is having trouble on 3rd down. Missed FG is a killer

This game is gonna get ugly

This game is Neds to lose. PNG is not the better team

Wow.. PNG is blowing it. No way this team is #1

The biggest issue in this particular football game is the trenches. PNG is bigger and more experienced there. Nederland has been capable and well coached. This game is going to be an absolute WAR until it's not. That might come before halftime or with less than a minute in the 4th. It all depends on how well Nederland is able to stop the run. That's it IMHO. PNGs Defense should be able to get their stops. If PNG can run at will it will be over quickly. Good luck to both I can't wait to see it!!!

And there's a bunch of ppl in the stands who buy tickets and concessions that wouldn't be there if their kids weren't band, drill team, cheerleaders etc.

Wow the TL camera work is epically bad.

The WF defense is definitely better than their offense. They've adjusted a bit and are plugging some gaps.

PNG shouldn't have any trouble with West Fork... until next year

Even in the PNG v Huntsville game. The shanked punt was the only reason HV had a chance to get to OT. The game really wasn't that close. The play clock, and everyone has talked about this, was a drive-killer for the NDNs. They had to make more plays than they needed to. In the end.. PNG forced a long FG and the clock was an issue.

Without quoting Rez again... And it's a perfect example of how bad clock management can screw up your win probability. I can point the 5AD2 title game last year and call that historic win a MASTERPIECE of excellence in clock management. The onside kick and forcing TOs before Coach Todd even knew he was beaten by the odds. Time outs are undervalued and sometimes, and it's the HC's job, to manage the gameplan. And, if a HC is 12-0 in one score games, we should look at how this is related to using the time, in any given game, as an edge. If a team wins by 30 points the clock doesn't matter. If a team is always ahead or nearly behind, against another great team, in a close game, and the other team is always out of TOs? It's an edge. The clock management strategy was already happening in games like this when a coach knows how to game the clock/ It was happening in the 1st half and managing possessions going into the 2nd half. I watch NCAA and HSFB almost exclusively. I like Texas, ATM and LSU. Les Miles made me go bald on Clock.

Yup!

Very interesting. Are they letting the class of 2025 graduate without going to a different school?

I saw also. It was not handled well and it's not what I was thinking about when I started this thread. I'm asking about coaching and the coach's role in using the clock as an edge. And, incidentally, PNG coach Jeff Joseph seems to be really good at it. There's many different things to consider. Forcing TOs, staying in-bounds, running vs passing etc. It just seems boring but I think it's underrated.

How many games have you seen where the clock management either won or lost the game? I think some coaches are just better at this part of the game.

PNG really did do an absolutely STELLAR job of containing the RBs. The improvement in that respect is truly shocking tbh. Great job

Well that's a win for PNG. Lots of work to do on the Defensive side. The QB run especially. Still having teams miscues that need to be cleaned up as well.

It looked like they had no idea the fake punt was coming

!!:29/0/H

Wow those Huntsville RBs are good. I think the PNG defense becomes Damage, Inc. against a less experienced and smaller O-line. Penetration and disruption will slow that run game and keep the chains long and getting pressure on passing downs will be key. If that happens PNG OL will lean on the Hornets and Blair+Tyson will run all over them. A couple good shots deep will have PNG up by 10 and choke-out mode in the 4th. PNG by 10

I just saw this.. I guess it isn't a rumor [Hidden Content]
