Anyone think South Laurel's QB Ricky Bowling can break the career touchdown record set by Couch? He only needs 38!

And if not who will?

38 is quite a few. If South Laurel advanced to the state finals he would have to average 2.5 touchdown passes per game. That's reasonable. But realistically, South Laurel might play two playoff games. That means he would need to throw for at least 3 in each game and a couple games with more. The strength of South's schedule might make that too difficult. He'll be close, though.

I agree it is alot but if I'm correct he averages around 3 per game over his career at SLHS. Plus the coaches really want to get this too. So we may see alot of play action in the red zone, instead of pounding it with the run.

Interesting. You may see him in there slinging the football when they are on the bad side of blowouts. Is it worth playing him in blowouts against the second straing defense early in the year and risking injury for the rest of the year to attain the record?

Oh, I think you're right, it's certainly attainable. The problem with averages like this is that you CANNOT have a bad night. With schools like Corbin, Lincoln, Mercer, etc. on their schedule, there might be some bad nights mixed in. He'll have to be really, really on in their "win" games to build in some wiggle room.

With the talent they have they shouldnt find themselves on the bad side of blowouts. They might have some shootouts but their potent offense should keep them out of blowouts. Def. Coordinator Larry Welch might also have brought in a new philosophy that will match their schedule.

I think he will get the record, Bowling threw 5 td's last night and looked stronger and faster than ever.:banana:

Zach Lewis, Clay County should pass Couch's for Yards Passing in a Career sometime this season, he is only 1,583 yards shy coming into the season.

COUCH - 12,167

LEWIS - 10,584

I agree, he is a great QB and I also think Ricky Bowling will be able to pass that but were talking about passing TD's

I think that he will break the record this year. They do have a tough schedule and he will have to have a good game every game. He looked good last night at the scrimmage. He has a lot of players that he can throw to. As much as they pass I think that he will break the record.

Lewis will break the passing yards record by the 5th game.:thumb:

How many TD passes did he throw last year?

Low thirties, but supposedly their gonna throw it more this year. I mean he had 5 touchdowns in 3 quarters!

How many TD passes did he throw last year?

 

40 td's and 9 int's

Definitely attainable; good luck Ricky!:thumb:
