LaPorte is definitely a rushing team with 2495 yards on the ground, and only 785 passing yards.

Lee beat them before Kendrick Perkins rejoined the team lol
LP only has two players on the entire team.
RB Perkins and RB Webb that also plays some at DB.
LP does not have the speed on defense to stop PAM unless PAM implodes as I think we all can agree they are wont to do at times.
If PAM keeps their head about them and doesn't turn the ball over 3 or 4 times, then they will be able to move up and down the field on the Bulldogs in my opinion.
Lee was able to run the ball up the middle at times on PAM last night, which is a rarity for Lee.
A tem that is MUCH better than Lee at doing this will be able to have some success with it.

I think the Bulldogs will be able to run the ball, much like they did when they had Quentin Castille back there.
Perkins is just so big and tough to handle.  You need two or three guys there in the hole waiting on him or he will drag you for 4 or 5 yards.

I think PAM will win, because LP didn't impress me very much.  Like I say, they really only have the two players, and PAM has 10-15 guys that are really athletic and can play ball.

Going back to the game last year between these two, LaPorte basically beat PAM on three plays. When Perkins was in the game, they ran the ball downhill, on lead plays and things like that, when Webb was in the game it was outside runs, pitches and toss plays. They threw the ball to one reciever dont know if he is still there.  But they could not stop PAM on defense, It will be interesting.

I watched them play 3 weeks ago and they still run the same plays you mentioned.  Perkins (a beast) up the middle and Webb flying off tackle or around the ends. They don't pass a whole lot due to their running game, but when they, the QB is effective. The receiver you mentioned is probably the Terrebone kid as he caught a few passes during that game.  It should be a good match up.

Well i think we need a opinion from BOTH sides (LP homer).  its no secret that LP has advanced on a strong running back (even when i played).  and LP will continue to run the ball as always.  For those that dont know, Perkins is a talented player on the diamond thus why the first 2 games for LP were difficult to watch. As soon as he return to the field, well you see we've made the play-offs.  I'm interested in seeing him against the mighty PAM (so i've heard).  again NO secret LP will run the ball and run the ball and run the ball. you will see 8 passes but dont hold your breath on that total.  the d-fense aint fast but it gets the job done for 6 wins.  Last words, you only have to be better than your opponent on that day.  Good luck to both teams!

LP doesn't have the same offensive line this year that they had last year in my opinion.
LP will be able to run some on the fact that Perkins is the biggest guy on the field and can pund up the middle.
Webb is fast, but he is extremely averse to contact, so he won't make any extra yards.  He would dance out of bounds 5 yards befor a defender got to him against Lee.
LP only has one pass...a little 12 yard comeback route to Terrebone.
The qb is adequate.
If PAM can stop the run then it's katy bar the door.
I think LP will be able to run on them though.

If PAM's offensive coordinator decides to not do anything dumb, and just lets his athletes make plays, then PAM should be able to put up 50 or 60.  The fastest guy on LP's defense might be slower than the slowest guy on PAM's offense.
