A "George Streeter" played for ND in the late 80s.

 

His Dad. Then played a year each for the Colts, and then the Bears I think.

I believe someone behind me at the game said his father played at OSU, can that be confirmed?

 

His father played at Notre Dame and for the Chicago Bears

AC had 124 yard rushing.

Elliott had 119. He had 109 at halftime.

 

 

I'm interested in what this says to you? Do you take this as Collinsworth being much much better, or the defense keying on Elliott successfully, or Elliott and Collinsworth producing similiar numbers may mean that both are just that good...

Let me see if I can put this in perspective. Highlands beats a fired-up, quality 6A opponent on their field, and it just doesn't live up to your expectations? You are tough.:ohbrother:

 

Yes, there are things to work on, and in about 9 hours, the coaches and team will get to work on whatever they need to do to improve.

 

Sorry, but I have to agree that this Birds team seems to have been a bit over-hyped. Not to say they won't eventually be an extremely dominating team, I'm sure they will. But right now they are not living up to "the best team ever" accolades. The offense is way ahead of the D at this point, IMO.

Different styles of running backs. Elliott showed last night that he's a force and in the discussion for best back in NKY this year. Outside of Simpson he has the best combo of speed and power. I was also impressed with how he let the play develop instead of outrunning the blockers.

 

AC has a unique ability to stop, cut, and accelerate.

 

So, they're both VERY good.

Boy, it seemed like he had that many on that first 25 minute drive.

That is EXACTLY what I thought. Two totally different types of runners. Elliott is smash mouth, run you over. Collinsworth is fassst and cuts hard. Both are the top in NKY, obviously along with Simpson and Quainoo.

You are correct. Elliott is a down field train coming at you with very good speed. If you watch Collinsworth run, when he's out in the open its like he can smell kids coming at him and he will slow down for a second then switch directions. He reminds of the kid from West Virginia with the hesitation move.

Don't forget Collinsworth also returns punts and kickoffs, is a tremendous pass receiver, and plays defensive back.

No one is forgetting that and we all know how good Collinsworth is. But I sure would like to see Elliott as a kick returner/punt returner....and I'd like to see him on defense too...he sure likes to get physical.

And Elliot is only a 15 year old sophomore with lots of time to develop! Thats the scary thing for the rest of Northern Kentucky over the next 3 years!

He needs to get his emotions in check though. Spends entirely too much time running his mouth. Granted, Highlands was doing far more than their fair sure of running their mouth and extra pushing and shoving...but Elliott is far too good to let that kind of behavior be the thing that ends up standing out about him.

 

Like you said, he is 15 years old. It's insane and he will mature. But he is goign to be scary these next 3 years.

Ryle set the tone for dirty play--late hit 5 yards out of bounds in the first quarter, cheap shot on the kicker, not to mention your stud running back who gave Cov. Cath. coaches the finger! I guarantee if he played for Highlands he would not have been playing this week after a stunt like that!

Rules 2 & 13.

I have no dog in the fight. And I obviously said that one of Ryles' players has a major issue to deal with as far as attitude and mouthing off. But according to MANY sources on the sidelines, who had a better vantage point than you or I I'm sure, Highlands was the initiator of the pile up that caused offsetting penalties, and was always putting in extra shoves and pushes in piles as well as making blatant late hits. Did Ryle have a couple? Yes. But at least Ryle fans are able to admit that it is an area of concern for a couple players. You have blinders on if you couldn't see the dirty play that Highlands brought in.

Ryle set the tone early. Highlands just answered the call.
