Crosby vs Longview

[Cougtalk]

Coach P gets to throw the kitchen sink this week. 

If you've watched Crosby before we always throw something at the defense that we haven't done before. I have a feeling it might be some two QB sets. Give them a look they will have never seen before and make the boys on the field have to figure it out. 

Unlike previous years we don't get to rev up in the playoffs we just have to hit the pedal and go. 

I expect if we win the flip we ask for the ball. 

I expect us to score on the first drive, we do a very good job of scripting that first drive. 

I think this game will all be about confidence. 

If the Lobos allow Crosby to get some early confidence then this will be a barn burner. However, there's also the possibility the Lobos just complete impose on Crosby. Crosby needs a fast start, and need to turn in into a shoot out because we are unlikely to be able to contain the Lobos running game

This feels worse than the Texas High game because we don't have the dynamic duo in the backfield this year nor do we have that defense this year. Crosby will have to play above their level of play this year and will have to score and not make mistakes. 

Crosby can score, we have excellent ability to mix, there is no singular point of focus that you can key on because we have 3 senior receivers that can make play, two runningbacks that can make plays, and probably the best TE we've had since like 08'. Z. George was the last time we had that kind of skill level at TE. 

Coach P has a little madness behind his play calling and offensive strategies in the playoffs. What other coach would have flipped their RB/WR in the playoffs? What other coach would have gone from 65% blitz rate against Texas High to less than 20% against FBM. I think we will have a great game plan and we have kids that believe they can beat Longview. Most teams don't think they can, Crosby legitimately thinks they'd be the 1 seed if they hadn't had so many injuries this year (it doesn't matter if that's true because the kids believe it.) 

That all being said the Lobos are a heavy heavy favorite.

I'm taking the Lobos by 21, Crosby just doesn't have enough weapons on offense to keep the game close 

[Bald Eagle]

I like to think that there is some upset potential here. I think that if Crosby is truly healthy, it will be a shootout. Making the road trip isn't fun, but these kids know how to perform when the odds are against them. I hope that they can keep the game close and competitive. 

[Eagleborn]

Longview will get in the 40s then go on cruise control. Crosby might reach ten. Maybe.

If Crosby turns this into a shootout, then our district and schedule is garbage.

This is not the Crosby team of the last 2 years.  I don’t see them staying with Longview.  This is probably a 46-7 game.

I disagree, no way the go for 2 and land on 46

Just saw some video of #2, he may have 250 yards at the half rushing, geez!

I’d like to see him in person, but work got me in Va Beach starting Thursday.  Crosby side will be -1 Friday night.  Pretty bummed

Tatum? He's a beast.

Last season he struggled to stay healthy a sophomore. He was taking over in the playoffs, and I fully believe we beat Ryan if he didn't get injured in the 2nd quarter. DR literally could not stop him.

Glad we have him back for another year. He's going to set some records at Longview before he's done.

This is a game I'm glad we have coach King. He's seen it all in his time here.

From Dez Bryant to Garrett Gilbert to John Hubert to Tanner Mordecai, etc etc. We've faced outstanding players over the years, but the coaches we've had to face off against is probably an even more impressive list. I fully believe King and his staff will have our boys ready to go.

Y'all would be smart to take the ball to start the game. I never understood the underdog kicking it off when your offense is your strength.

I expect the defense to take a series to lock things down, like they usually do, then go to work. Just glad Friday will be dry!!

Yea, I think the ability to manufacturer some points will be big if Crosby has any chance. That being said Crosby won't win this game by having the best player on the field that will likely be on the other side of the line of scrimmage so they need to make something happen. Fumbles, picks and tricks may make some puppies sick.

Crosby might have to sell out to stop the run and that's going to open things up in the passing game. People from LV always talk about #8 but to me their most impressive player is #2, and it isn't even close. On offense I have no idea how Crosby is going to generate points.

Agreed. That's my biggest thing. I just don't see them scoring 30+ points like some are wishful in thinking will happen.

Tatum will have a field day, regardless of the selling out to stop the run. This season he has fully taken over. Jalen though will get his yards. He's too good of a player not to.

Excited for Friday to get here.

I agree mostly. But Crosby just gave up 42 points 2 weeks ago to a la Porte team that Longview would absolutely run out of the stadium. Unless they come out with a game plan similar to the one we saw against  Tyler to keep our offense off the field, i think there’s no way we don’t put up 40+

LP has gone back to the the running style that features many counters and traps and u don't know who has the ball not to mention LP had the best backs in the district, but no defense.

[BlackShirts5]

Not many teams in this district has impressed me much. Watching the Crosby GCM game was tough. Yeah Crosby blew them out but it wasnt that imprssive of a W to me.

 

Lobos 56 Crosby 7

Crosby gets a garbage time TD

that’s what’s so great about having these 2 on the same offense. sell out on one & the other is going to have a career night.

Longview is better than CE King.

Crosby fans get severely distorted on their comprehension. CE King just another "good team" that happened to stomp a mudhole in Crosby.
