Laurens at Greenwood

[GwoodEagle2k1]

Based on the situation and what I see with it being a covid year, a new coach; attempting to run a new offense that they haven't had much time to practice. My heart wants Greenwood, but my analytics say Laurens. They know what they're running and have a chip on their shoulder because the coach left on their best year. The energy is back and it feels great! But changing to a new offense from Pippin's 90 percent run spread will take some time for sure. We ran similar back in Cathcart's days with great success, so that may help. My heart says Greenwood and I'm pulling for my Eagles, just not sure there has been enough practice opportunities to get the offense completely ironed out. One thing I do know is they're going to have to energy. That may help. Thoughts?

With all Laurens had last year, dan pippin held them to a 7-7 game for 3 quarters with numerous missed opportunities to take control of the game. With everything we have coming back and Laurens losing some of their top talent. We would really have to help them out to lose this one. Just my 2 for what it's worth. We'll see.

According to this article Laurens is not running an option like they have in the past:

Apparently the new QB is a great passer and they have high hopes on a throwing game.

Greenwood's defense will be too much for Laurens. As far as the new offense.....Cathcart ran the same thing and the players pick up and ran with it. It's not complicated to run like the spread offense. Just got to have the blocking up front.

A blowout with a new coach and new offense, and it will probably rain. Hmm. Remember the ball was being dropped some in the scrimmage even with it dry. I thought about it. Running the same offense from 2010-2013 has little to do with this team. None of these kids ran it. There is no clear answer. Just have to see.

You got to think we have a bunch of runningbacks this time around. It will be hard for Laurens to key in on all the backs in the backfield.

Aren't those the same running backs that played last season? I wouldn't hang a win on that. Laurens is still familiar with the offense. They'll know what's coming. That's an advantage. Take off your Golden Eagle glasses for a minute. Other than it being in Greenwood they sort of have the advantage.

Laurens will be guided with a new coach with new formations and sets. Liner knows the guy pretty well because he was his defensive coordinator last year. I'm sure Liner will know what to look for.

Laurens might be familiar with the offense but can they stop Greenwood's playmakers from running it??? Greenwood has too much talent in the backfield this year. Laurens lost a lot of key guys last year. Laurens QB is only sophomore. He won't be spectacular coming out the gate plus it will be raining Friday. The kid is a passer. Our secondary has many seniors on it. Laurens will have to keep it on the ground most of the game.

Again, Greenwood has always had talent. Not the issue. Rain may be worse for our Eagles than Laurens. We were fumbling dry pitches in the scrimmage. Running fast means nothing if the ball isn't in your hands. Lol

Darn sure can't dive every play. And throw it? Hmm. Lol.

Well to be completely blunt, because they are Laurens. According to SC football history the last time they had back to back seasons winning 9 games or more was the 95 and 96 seasons. http://www.scfootballhistory.com/wordpress/?page_id=822 Roughly 25 years ago. I believe that is also the last time they beat Greenwood in back to back years if you leave out the Pippin years as most gwood fans do lol. They just don't win consistently like that in football. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. I also believe we just have better players than they do. Is what it is. You know we have some players that weren't on film last year because of injury. They are back this year. I don't necessarily disagree with your analytics. I just hope your wrong about it I just strongly believe if we lose, it will be because we helped them. Hopefully we can pull this game out and Liner can get his 1st win as the head ball coach in style.
