Lorena by 4 Tiger, I thinking the same thing.Coach Biles knows their offense inside and out but can his D stop or slow them down ? I think so but could be wrong.

I think so but could be wrong. I think they can get enough stops to put them ahead of Franklin. Turnsovers killed Lorena in the first half and a costly offsides penalty hurt when they had a pick 6 late in the game which would've gave them the lead.

THTFUIL Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 We will probably drive to Lorena to see this one, beside Buzzard Billy's in Waco has some pretty good fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionpride08 Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 This game is more telling to me then Yoe next week. #1 team but still the underdog the next two weeks. I think we are about to open some eyes all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are about to open some eyes all over again. Franklin Lions are #1 in 3A D1 for a reason. I don't know who told you that Lions are UNDERDOGS for both weeks (YOE & Lorena), but I may ask for a refund for that information. I know Franklin has multiple injuries, but I don't want that to be an excuse. Franklin can put the hurt on people by draining that clock and not allowing the opposing O to get on the field. I just hope Lorena clock runners don't "screw" you over like they tried with YOE. I hate that I won't be able to go to the game, but you can bet that I will be watching online. No predictions at this point, just excited for Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklin fans, keep a close eye on the clock! It does funny things there in McLennan County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be surprised by that at all. I think Lorena has a better defense than Yoe right now so I could see Lorena slowing Franklin down enough to get the win. Of course Porter will have to have a big game to get it done. I see Franklin and Yoe being a high scoring pickem shootout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
