Belfry is a specialty power running game and couldn't throw the ball. They were bound to get yards but they were held to 17 points vs Boyle. Corbin is more balanced and not as much of a power running game.
Estep had 56 yards on 16 carries vs Beechwood. Honest question, was he hurt for that game too?
No. But if you watched the game, the flow of it didnât really allow him to run the ball. Plus he had open WRs a lot of the time.

Again, per KHSAA-
56 yards on 16 carries compared to the whole team of Beechwood having 12 carries for 36, not to shabby. Factor in his two rushing TDs, one passing TD, and going 17/25 for 68% with 2 out of his total of 4 int coming in that game. Honest Answer. Just which ever way you want to present it.
No doubt you keep reaching for numbers and stats. QBs are basically the same passing wise (yards/tds/int/%) but Estep has the upper hand on rushing. I think someone posted it earlier. Should be a barnburner!
My prediction coming later this week. FoSho you might like it :Clap:

Estep has been hurt since before the Mayfield game...until last week anyway. The only reason he was permitted to play in games since then was he wouldnât have to run or scramble, just handoff or pass. We used the power run game in regular season against bell so Estep wouldnât have to scramble, he did run once for about a 25 yard TD. Also didnât run at Knox. Last week was the most runs heâs had since beechwood. AND!! The GOOSE IS LOOSE FINALLY! Probably our biggest offensive weapon missing since early in beechwood game.

Boyle Co better hope that forecast is clear for Friday night. Corbin has had some very wet games and although they couldnât run what they wanted to they still could win in the conditions. Boyle has had one game like that and they squeaked by late against a Western Hills team who got beat in first round only having Wandale Robinson. Other than that Boyle has basically been on turf all year. Coming to Corbin is bad enough but if it rains and gets muddy, Chuck Smith and the Rebels could be in for some trouble

I agree. I believe Corbin is better this year.

, but I think they are much better than last year, and have a real shot at winning this game. especially with the extra players in stripes

Boyle played in some of the worst possible field conditions at Hills and North Hardin. The Hills game featured one WanDale Robinson which was the main reason we "squeaked by" with a 54-35 win.
Heavy rain would change the game plan for both teams.

Heâs right. Boyle has played in some bad conditions. WH, Hardin, etc. although I will agree with the OP that a soggy field would prob benefit us a little more than Boyle. Not a significant difference though.

Corbin’s hourly forecast for tomorrow evening between 7:00-9:00 is 47 degrees and 5% chance of rain, Looking good.

Here is one thing that I always come back to and I'm curious as to what Hounds fans think.
Estep is a tremendous athlete. As a Boyle Co fan I am thankful he is at QB. He is Corbin's biggest open field threat and if he is in the backfield it's much harder for him to do damage against a good defense.
He had 15 carries vs Mayfield for 49 yards and threw for 111. Boyle Co and Mayfield are pretty similar as far as defense and team speed. Longmire was your leading rusher vs Mayfield but only had 56 yards. I see this as a huge part of the game this Friday. Will Corbin be able to run the ball effectively vs our D?
Yeager and Sams have really stepped up running the ball late in the season and give Corbin a different look in their rushing attack. I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of the defensive players in the offensive backfield mix in this game.

Not that it will really matter as far as the actual game. But for those who havenât been to Corbin in a while, take the forecast temp and subtract about 7-10 degrees from it. Donât know if itâs where the field and area around it sit in a hole, or the wind, or what??? But itâll prob be colder than 47 for the fans. Dress warmer like itâs gonna be about 27.

I agree, and I think most would. The main rotation of those 2 and Longmire have been great lately. Yeager is a smash mouth runner who almost always gets extra YAC. And Sams vision has improved a lot since the start. It doesnât take much for him to find a seam and hit it. And then longmire, although a freshman and sometimes easy to bring down, doesnât need much to take it to the house on any given play.
I love that âheavy/Floridaâ set as well. Nobody has stopped it yet. Maybe Boyle can?? I donât see it though. But itâs not something we could sustain the whole game, but great in short yardage situations.

Obviously stopping (containing) the Lanter/Smith combination should be priority #1. That said, while two totally different style offenses, when Corbin struggles on offense, it's very similar to UK. They both have a tendency to fall behind the chains early in drives.
If Corbin can stay disciplined, I like them having a more than decent chance. It just seems like they have seen their fair share of 2nd and 15 or 3rd and 10's this year due to mental errors. With respect to the district opponents, you can get away with that vs. those teams. However doing that against Boyle, is a different story. They dug themselves into too many holes against Mayfield. Boyle is just as good and some could argue possibly better than the Cardinals.
I have a suspicion that you will see the Hounds bring their A game. I'd love an atmosphere like vs. Belfry 2 years ago. If they do that, use the revenge factor as motivation, you could see Corbin vs. Central at Commonwealth Stadium next Friday.

I posted something similar to this about he same time last week for the Boyle Co vs Belfry game.
I am in a good place mentally. I'm Thankful on this Thanksgiving Day for my family and I'm looking forward to the big game tomorrow evening. I am confident but not overconfident which is how we should all be as fans. I have nothing against the Hounds or their faithful and my main concern for the game tomorrow is that all of these kids that lay it on the line for their team, fans, school and community make it thru this game without injury. There has been too many injuries this year in our state and I pray these boys have a blast making memories with their teammates and do so in one piece.
Football is a great game and I can't wait to take in this atmosphere tomorrow night and root on the Rebels. Safe travels to all Rebel Nation making the trip south.
Go Rebels!

I agree the focus should be Smith but they also have 3 other very fast and athletic receivers you canât forget about and a 4.3 running back in Bartleson if he is back or the senior Crawford. Corbins success on offense to a degree centers around being able to block 73 Kelly up front,that kid will have tackles from dtackle,no matter what we do,he will be the best player Corbin has seen upfront all year but we canât let him make numerous plays in the backfield or get a clean hit on Estep I noticed Smith played him every play of the game against Belfry on both sides of the ball. I watched the broadcast.The kid on Boyle they say benches over 400 and squats over 600 as a junior. Thatâs a freak!
11-23-2018, 04:47 AM
I agree Kelly is a beast and we have to slow him down. Iâd say weâll probably double or use a back to help. But beechwood had one of the best OVERALL Dlines to date, to me anyways. And for the most part we didnât allow them to take over. Boyleâs could be better. Watching film, as a whole they are good. But Iâd still give the nod to the beechies. One player on the Dline is easy to neutralize unless you just got a kid thatâs gonna get back there every time. So I think Kelly will make some plays but I still donât think itâs gonna be enough to shut us down. But Our D canât shut them down either. I still think this one will be back and forth throughout the game if both teams show up. Iâm pretty confident both will.

Wilson Kelly is the one and only member of Boyle’s 1100 LB club, Smith says he’s The strongest player he’s ever had at Boyle.
