anyone know when and where?

I was sitting in front of the visitor's box with the Duncanville coaches behind me. Heard a loud laugh when we threw up a pass that fell about 20 yards away from anyone. They left at halftime. They'd probably seen enough.

One of them probably said, "Hey, let's just put 11 in the box and see what happens."

The good thing about those 20 yard misses is it greatly reduces the chances of an interception (or a completion).

I haven't seen Duncanville, are they a passing team or what?

[LR46]

Trinity 34 Irving 7 . . . looks like:

1. We either played our reserves the whole game
2. We sputtered on offense and/or
3. We are looking at an early exit in the playoff

Hey, we can't win it every odd year, can we? C'MON TROJANS GET SERIOUS!!!!!

here are their stats. The look like a well rounded offense passing and running game. Should prove to be the first real challenge for the Trojans since Heritage . . . that scares me too.

Our offense is equal if not better, except for our obvious lack of a passing game and the T defense must come up big in every playoff game if we are going to move on. Defensive breakdowns, like getting beat on deep passing routes, will do us in quickly.

Uh oh!

[chhspantherfan]

any other common opponents besides Heritage?

We played Duncanville in the opener at the Cotton Bowl. They came back strong in the second half, but we held them off. The QB is a dual threat that can flat out play. They have 3 receivers that are big and fast. Thomas really caught my eye. Their defensive line will match up well with Trinity's OL and that battle, absent of turnovers, will determine the outcome.

My 2.5 cents, for what it is worth.

1. No, only 3 quarters
2. Uh, No. Kimpela averaged 12 a carry.
3. We'll have to see how it plays out.
Continous clock in second half, onside kick by Mac and fumbled punt led to only 2 possessions by Trinity in second half. One of those was when time was running out.

Good info... No doubt we will have to up our game a bunch to keep going. No doubt the coaching staff and team know this is the start of a new and very different season. Should be very interesting to see how the "mighty" Trojans respond to say the least.

2. Follow up: and how many passes did we attempt and complete and score on? Never mind I can look that up. The answer is for sure not enough.

Works for me.

Some Comparisons:

Opp W/L: 48 - 42 (THS: 39 - 52)
SOS Rank: 59 (THS: 128)
PPG: 33.1 (THS: 43.7)
PAPG: 27.7 (THS: 9.7)

They given up some points (50 to Mansfield Legacy, 39 to Timberview, 31 to Midlothian) and some good backs have had big nights against them. 242, 192 yards, etc.

But, without seeing the games, you never know did the points come once the game was in hand?

I'll take 31-30 Trinity and go home smiling. And start agonizing about the next one against Northeast Plano, errr I mean Allen . . . assuming they get there . . .

You need to get over the fact that Trinity does not pass the ball. As long as lineweaver is coach they won't pass the ball and they never will. Trinity's strength is the run, that is how they beat teams. If noone can stop you from running why would you stop running!?! It's borderline unintelligent to suggest that Trinity should pass the ball more often when everyone knows they are terrible at passing. Our Defense is good enough to keep our team in the game and with a strong running attack you can control a game better than any other team in the state.

Trinity runs the ball, end of story. Forget about trying to get a passing game, we can pass good enough to use it when we need it. Stick with what you know and what your good at.

Trinity 35 - 13. I think everyone is overrating Duncanville and Duncanville is in for a rude awakening and a quick end to their playoff run.
