It should be a great game then , the same is true with CC. They really do not have a quality win all year . The talent is there just not sure its being utilized properly.

 

I disagree. Carroll County has some talented players but they are not as readily available as at some of the bigger schools. They have around 50 players on the roster, which is not bad for a small school, but it is very difficult to maintain a stable of fast running backs and big, mobile linemen. I know they are working very hard in the off-season and every effort is being made by the coaching staff to build a quality, stable and consistent talent pool and program. I believe consistent improvement will be seen as long as Coach Weedman is here. He works very hard. He is in the weight room every day during the off-season and demands that his players are consistently striving for improvement. Look for improvement every year.

My definition of a quality win is not putting up a lot of points against weak competition. Carroll County does not have a win against a team with a winning record all year . Plus two of their losses have been against teams with losing records including Dayton who had only won one time prior to playing CC. Can they win vs. Holy Cross ? That remains to be seen. I wish them the best of luck and surely hope they do.

As far as talent not being utilized, bottom line is you put your best athletes on the field that will give you the best chance to win. Simply that is not being done.

 

PM me with your opinion of what is not being done, please.

HC SHOULD roll.

Exactly part of my whole point. Leading CAL 14-7 at the half they shut our running game down and went on to beat us badly. They made adjustments we did not. While I am a huge fan of Coach, possibly some other adjusments could have been made offensively, especially since the loss of Wise. To be successful you must be able to make adjustments not only year to year, not only game to game, but play to play. I do agree the program overall will continue to improve . Again I will say you have got to put your best athletes on the field no way this is happening !

In your opinion.

 

Yes my opinion on the players being utilized properly. However as far as having a quality win..... Thats a fact ! I hope I eat these words come Saturday , any playoff win is Quality .

I am going with HC.

Good luck Coach Weedman and crew.

HC shgould roll, they have played superior competition all season and are ready for this game. CC doesn't have the personel to stop the HC rushing attack IMO.

If CC lost to Dayton, I don't see them beating HC.

HC by 2+ TD's.

If CC lost to Dayton, I don't see them beating HC.

 

CC didn't even show up for Dayton. I wouldn't judge them on that game alone.

No way you nor anybody else in Carroll County can't say that this football program is on the rise. Four years ago this program was a train wreck. Consistency is the key to success and that is in place now. Consistent improvement WILL be the norm with this program.

HC wins by atleast 2 TD's

I did not say it is not on the rise. I stated that successful teams need to make adjustments play to play, game to game , as well as year to year. However success cannot always be based on your record win or lose. Well I guess it can depending upon ones expectation. If your expectation is to only win against teams with losing records then yeah I guess you consider yourself successful. BUT DID YOU GET BETTER IN THE PROCESS. You tell me ? That has become the norm in our entire athletics program, being satisfied with beating the teams within 20 miles of us. HOWEVER , I do see change coming in all sports, including football. Coach Weedman is doing great things for our program. I hope alot of people get PO'd by my posts because I am sick of this lets be average mentality we have in this county. Whatever happened to lets go out and flat kick somebody's *$$ !!!!!!!!!

Believe me, this football administration does not have a "settle for mediocre" atttitiude. It takes time to build a winning program and especially one that consistently wins against the better programs. I think significant progress is being made and a little patience is needed. Working on the feeder programs to conform to the varsity program has begun and it is only a matter of time until all these things come together. It is being done the right way.
