"struggled against the physical Indians defense".................Man, I LOVE the sound of that!

I'm not looking past anyone in this district!

Vidor is a running team, but not in the same mold as TC. TC ran out of the spread. You pretty much know who is getting the ball. Not a lot of misdeirection.

Vidor runs the triple option. Anyone of four backs could carry the ball and every play involves misdirection and a little trickeration! When executed correctly it is tough to defend. It is a good offense to run if you don't have the personnel to matchup with the big dogs. Ask Ohio State. They had hell with an inferior Navy bunch last week.

excellent point!!!
