crosby moving the ball but mistakes stop them
Read a news article about Liberty Hill tonight. None of the Liberty Hill starters started last year. All 11 are first year starters. So, how does that happen? Just a tremendous group of sophs and juniors who replaced a tremendous group of seniors? In previous seasons we've commented on recruiting at Aledo and Southlake, but this? Guess it helps to be situated close to Austin.

I don't think Crosby could have played much worse. Tons of penalties and 2 disastrous fumbles by their QB. And most of the breaks went Liberty Hill's way. That's probably how the Crosby fans feel about the game.
But give LH credit. Crosby had no answer for their wing T running attack, even in the 2nd half (351 rushing yards). I kept thinking this game looked like Navy versus Ohio State. But in this case Ohio State never figured out how to stop the novel running attack. I think LH only passed once in the entire game (which was almost intercepted and ended up being a spectacular reception).
The LH defense was equally impressive. Very good open field tackling and did not let up the long TDs that plagued us against Crosby. Couldn't see much of the downfield coverage during the Texan Live broadcast, but the LH pass defense must be pretty good. The Crosby QB had trouble finding open receivers even when he had plenty of time. Most of his completions were passes out in the flat.

I was thinking the same thing. Like when we played Kashmere back in '75 and '77.

yes that is what i was thinking just think if we had a burnett led team
they looked like pros out there
The teams I’m talking about were led by Doug Ethridge with offensive line coach Butch Troy, defensive coaches Terry Cobb, Ken Clearman, Wayne Hooper and a couple of others. 150-170 pound players who could whip an opponent 50+ pounds heavier. The largest players back then were 190-200 pounds with a couple of outliers like Bruce Miller at 230.
I see. Matt Burnett won 52 games during his last 9 seasons. Made the playoffs 3 years. 2 district co-championships.
I was comparing how hard nosed some former size challenged players were and how they hustled like Liberty Hill did in that game.

who has done that lately
Can't deny it. And, to be fair, almost beat WOS in 2000. Lost 7-0. WOS went to the state finals that season.
But can't overlook that his teams won 2 playoff games his last 9 seasons.
