The Lake Posted December 7, 2020 Report Posted December 7, 2020 Lindale and Austin LBJ face off in the 5th round of the 4A-D1 Playoffs. This game will be played at Humble’s Turner Stadium. This game will be a shootout and definitely worth the drive if you like offense. What’s your prediction? Quote

Hagar Posted December 7, 2020 Report Posted December 7, 2020 As I look at my crystal ball I see numbers turning, like the mileage counter on a car but much faster. Smoke is coming from the gears. The spirits are confused. I must rest now. 😂🤣😂 translation- I’m in Dr office for Lab work & can’t do any research. Over/Under is 105 Quote
Hagar Posted December 7, 2020 Report Posted December 7, 2020 Okay, here’s the deal. LBJ evidently has a good Secondary. Body, CC Millers QB ran the ball 48 times for 278 yards. If he can get 278, I figure Jenkins (Lindale D1 RB) will get 350 or more. Imo, this one’s a toss up, but I lean toward Lindale to win it.

I'm thinking over, somewhere in the range of 60 to 54 Lindale Quote

Hagar Posted December 8, 2020 Report Posted December 8, 2020 I was checking out Lindale’s RB Jordan Jenkins. He’s averaging about 214 yards a game (Total right at 3,000 yards this season). Vidor holding him to 126 yards on 27 carries was a heckuva performance by the Pirate Defense. I predict he’ll get 300 yards against LBJ, unless they stack the box and leave receivers open. If they do, Peterson (QB) will make them pay with his arm. But LBJ has a couple of good backs themselves, so yes folks, this will be a track meet. Not impressed with Lindale’s Defense overall, but they play the run better than the pass, and LBJ is predominately a running team. Imo, that gives Lindale a slight advantage. You can go to the bank there won’t be many punts in this game. piratevillain 1 Quote
Javelina Posted December 8, 2020 Report Posted December 8, 2020 LBJ is finally hitting their stride and living up the the expectations that were set for this team this year. They got a much later start than other 4A schools because Austin ISD would not let them start practicing or playing games until the 5A/6A schools within the district started practice in mid September. I'm going with LBJ in this one. Austin1985 1 Quote
dillonpanthers Posted December 8, 2020 Report Posted December 8, 2020 Should be a good one. Last one with the ball wins Quote

Lindale probably relies a little more on the pass. I haven’t been to a game in many years, do the new turf fields get slippery at all? Both teams have awesome RB’s. Quote

Vidor held him to 126 but he puts 300 on LBJ? I am not trying to dispute you, but can you expand on why you think that? I don't know anything about LBJ but the fact they are in the Semis makes me think they have a fairly complete team. Bad defenses are not common seen in the Semis. Thanks. Quote

Bad defenses are not common seen in the Semis. Thanks. Simply look at Lindale’s scoring for the year. They’re averaging over 40 points a game. Jenkins has in the neighborhood of 2800 yards, while not playing late in several games. He had over 250 against Kilgore (about 350 in their first meeting) in the Reg finals. Against LBJ, the Miller QB, Body, had 278 yards. While Body is a very good QB, I doubt he’s as good a runner as Jenkins. So if Body can get 278, I can see Jenkins getting 300. Now LBJ can stack the box and lower Jenkins output, but if they do that Peterson, the Lindale QB, will burn them through the air. Either way, my opinion is based on stats, but like all opinions, when that first kickoff rises in the air, my opinion doesn’t mean diddly poo. Also, since you may not be familiar with them, Lindale’s Defense isn’t to good either. They do make enough stops to win though. Conclusion, if the bus is to crowed, and you have to leave one player behind, leave the punter. 😂😂🤣😂😂 Btw, even though they avg over 40 points a game, Vidor held them to 29, their second lowest total all year. Midlothian Heritage held them to 21 in the 2nd game of the season. Of course Vidor’s time consuming offense helped in the overall effort. Quote

Bad defenses are not common seen in the Semis. Thanks. Alot of clock management and Jenkins really wasn't able to break many long runs against Vidor. I think his longest run against us was about 30 yarder which went for a TD. I know alot of his yards came in the 2nd half, cause he was held to only 50 something in the first half. I can definitely see him getting 200+ if LBJ can't manage the clock and keep him and that offense off the field. Hagar 1 Quote
