  1. Anything is possible, but Texas High is focused on this week. Not much chatter about week 2. Good for Texas High, bad for Nac. I think the close games to NL and MP, should them they can not be on cruise control. Paris, who Norton said was athletic as JT, hung with them for awhile.

  2. How can you say that RJ. If you saw him what position would you play him?

     

    Not Nutt's best decision. I think Ryan likes Arkansas, but too much baggage at the top. Obviously, I would like to have seen him pull the trigger on Texas, but he didn't. That showed where his intentions were focused and I can respect his decision.

  3. The kid has been to so many football camps and getting great coaching on technique by quarterback specialists to perfect his skills. That is not to take away from Norton and crew, but he has had extra coaching.

     

    On Friday you will see him come to the line, survey the defense, audible if necessary, and do his progression of open receivers. It is a methodical process and not a throw and catch. If a defensive back makes a mistake, he will probably exploit it. He is able to do this because he trusts his line and Smith with he is in the backfield to protect him.

  4. I would like to 250 more yards for Smith and 200 receiving for Johnson. Would have been nice to have three players with over 1000 yards total offense.

     

    Sad thing in Malletts stats is he has had probably 30 dropped passes (excluding balls that an acrobatic reciever could catch - more like T.O. drops) or he would be near 3,000 yards.

     

    People look at Texas High is having this stud QB they rely on. They have rushed for 276 times and passed for 249. That is pretty good balance. The offense takes what is given to them. If you sell out for the pass, they are happy to stay of the ground. You adjust to stop the run, they pick you apart with the passing game. Nice part about it, Mallett does not allow his ego to get in the way of the team goal. It is obvious his goal is a team goal and he is the field genera.

  6. I am not sure. I am sure someone knows. Texas High pretty much has had their number since Norton's arrival. T-High won pretty easily this year. Arkansas has a rule that when a team is up 35 points in the second half the clock runs. Arkansas High has run the clock on about their last 6 opponents. They should win State which consists of 16 teams.

What a TEAM ! Superior caoching staff ! Nacogdoches dragons.... WE BELIEVE. Have a great game and enjoy !

     

    Yep bring your Kryptonite to stop Superman, because maybe we will be Roland by you.

  8. I agree but the elements had alot to do with the game. The team boarded the bus and it was 80 and got off the bus and the temp was 50 and 25mph wind. Also apparently the field had been torn up by playing after a rain and the middle fo the field was slick. Mallett was either having reciever slipping or judging his touch in the wind.

     

    NAC is sounds like our kickers are comparable.

  9. Well the special teams should be fun. Texas High has blocked a half dozen or so.

     

    Mallett is our punter also. I would guess he is averaging 40+ yards a punt. Our FG has one missed a FG all year but he also has not had many opportunities. It think he is 7-7 with maybe a long of 40. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

     

    We both know special teams are a key in the play offs. We have had a number of punts returned for a TD, but it seems like most of them have been called back by the dreaded block in the back.
