  1. 59-28 final. It took Gilmer a couple of possessions to figure out the triple option. And SH hit some big plays with the sweep. But Gilmer scored a lot and played a lot of players. Good night for senior night. McCown hit on the long ball tonight and was crisp and accurate. Gilmer is still wildly inconsistent, but this was a good win for a Gilmer team needing a rebound. Biggest concern was #11 on crutches. Sure hope his knee isn’t serious.
  2. Ok, a few quick observations 1. Gilmer trails 21-10 with 2:50 left. They have just stopped PG to force a punt. They call timeout to save clock, and then don’t have or know the right number of kids on the field?! Inexcusable. This leads to illegal substitution penalty and basically ends the game. I have no illusions of Gilmer coming back and winning, but the coaches screwed that up royally. Gilmer has a great coaching staff. You can’t argue with the results. But someone needs to get skewered for that snafu. 2. PG dominated the Loni of scrimmage. Yes, Jackson was the best player on the field, but it was a team effort on the defensive side. 3. I don’t know what to think about McCown. I certainly don’t blame him for the loss last night. Gilmer could never get its running game going, and he had almost no time to throw b/c of the pressure. I also feel bad for him. He is replacing a state championship winning quarterback. Anything less than a championship would be considered a failure. Over realistic expectations. He also does everything right. He’s the right size, sees the field, steps up into the pocket, scrambles when he needs to, and has a cannon for an arm. But his touch on certain passes is horrible. Gilmer scores on the first play of the second half if he leads Webb correctly. But it’s underthrown, and the defender is able to get back in the play and make the tackle. 3. Gilmer D played really good outside of the first two drives of the game. It’s awfully hard on a defense when the offense is constantly going 3 and out. PG was clearly the better team last night. Gilmer will need to do a lot of work to get ready for the playoffs.
  3. Tennison plays 2 snaps at QB. 3 yard gain, 5 yard gain, and then he is subbed out on 3rd and 2. I don’t understand. If they had put him in and he was ineffective, I understand staying with McCown. But it was the only time all night Gilmer had been in 3rd and 2.
  4. Gilmer is getting dominated on both sides of the line of scrimmage.
  5. A few quick observations. 1. Van should have run the ball more. They were gaining 4 yards a pop. When they went run heavy in the second half, the game turned around. 2. Gilmer was excellent in the first half, but situational awareness is at times still a head scratcher. The onside kick seemed to be expected by everyone but the players on the field. You have to be aware of that in that moment. 3. McCown plays great at QB, but he just struggles so much with the deep ball. Just can’t get the right touch on it. If he figures that out, Gilmer will be seriously dangerous on offense. 4. Van OLine impressed me. Big and physical. That’s why I’m surprised they didn’t run more. great win for the Buckeyes. Van should be a playoff contender. They will probably wind up 3rd in district, so they will miss Carthage. They could go 3-4 rounds possibly.
  6. Ok, a few quick observations about the game: 1. Pittsburg has a very good punting game. The punter gets great hang time, and the players get down field and cover the punt very well. 2. The ref and the scoreboard operator were clearly on the same page. 4th quarter lasted exactly 12 minutes. and that’s about it. Gilmer did what they were supposed to do. Van will be the real test to see where they are as a team.
  7. So Pitt did make it past the 50. 29-0. Gilmer has lost focus and interest.
  8. 29-0. Pitt doesn’t have a first down
  9. Running clock the entire second half I imagine. Sad to see the state of Pitt right now
  10. Didn’t see this posted anywhere. Gilmer wins 51-37. so for some quick observations: 1. Gilmer’s best game offensively without a doubt. Both running backs had huge games, QB was much more accurate, and big play offense showed up. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for the Buckeyes. 2. Brenham has an unbelievable running back. Capable of breaking it on any play. 3. That said, Gilmer defense made plays when they needed to. Hagler dominated tonight from the defensive line. And 26 & 0 for Gilmer gave really good linebacker play. 4. By the end of the season, Tennison might be Gilmer’s best receiver. Not taking anything away from Webb, but Tennison runs excellent routes and has great hands. Any time Gilmer needed a first down, the 10 yard out to Tennison seemed available. long drive, but definitely worth it for the performance from the Buckeyes tonight.
  11. If the QB is playing, I got to go with C Hill. But Lindale never quits and always punches up.
  12. Clearly you haven't seen Pitt play this year. My money would be on the visually impaired.
  13. I'm going to go with Kilgore. Gilmer played both, so I've seen both. PT is good. They have talent, and they are really aggressive on defense. But Kilgore has the better talent top to bottom. Both have great defenses, but Kilgore has the more explosive offense, in the sense they can score on a big play from basically anywhere on the field. So I will give the edge to Kilgore.
