But what is your thoughts on this game in particular because yall have bigger size against Fairfield so that will work in yalls favor.

Fairfield DL looked bigger than Orangefields. We do have a big big OL guard but everyone else is low 200’s. 
 

Because of Fairfield DL, I expect our RB will hit the open gaps hard & fast & I don’t know a LB that can catch him. I did see Fairfield vs Crocket game & I wasn’t overwhelmingly impressed. Crocket had a lot of dropped passes. 

I think we can score 3 or 4 TD by half.

I really don't think our offense will struggle with the run or pass. They all seem to be working well together and all the skill players are hyped up and ready to win, but did get some disturbing news from my son that a few of the starting defense have said that we are going to lose because our offensive line can't block. We haven't had that mentality since the Bridge City game. Sounds like a few of our players our ready to blame a loss on someone else. If we can prevent our team from turning on itself we will win. But with this information and the fact that we are 0-2 against Schools with birds as the mascot im changing my prediction to Orangefield by 3 points.

CS was driving to win the game in the last three minutes of the game. Unfortunately CS RB come out of the game & Orangefield held on. PS, I never really founded out what happened to him. I know he took some hard hit by our DE & Middle LB. 
 

Teams have to respect Orangefield running game with their RB, if the LB come in to fill the gap, the QB will keep it or hit them slants & can throw them deep. 
 

I’m hopeful Orangefield can make it to the regional finals this year. That would be a super high bar to set. Most of the skilled players are juniors and the QB is a sophomore. 
 

it starts this Friday. 

I hope that does not happen due to a strategic stand point. I hope nothing but the best for all teams in the playoffs but if we get by HItchcock I don't want Columbus getting a look at a slot t team just in case they meet up with Orangefield and beat them. Troy has already seen a Slot T in Franklin so I'm not sure what Orangefield will throw at them if they meet up that they have not already seen.

Orangefield no longer runs the Slot T.

They are multiple with mostly spread.

Considering what's coming in the 3rd round it might be better to just set the bar there.  The second round will be a big test, and if you advance you get the winner of what would normally be a regional finals matchup in the 3rd round.

Orangefield steamrolled their entire district besides Coldspring. I feel like they are getting better at running the spread each passing week, and I don't see Fairfield stopping them. Orangefield by 3 TDs

Never mind, didn't realize we were only talking about when they had a new AD.
