Laurel @ Picayune South State

Can’t wait .

Picayne defense is tough and very physical. Laurel defense has really come on the last half of the season. The only team they faced with that packed in offense  was us and we were throwing into the end zone at the end for the win.  Laurel likes to get up a couple of scores and play soft defense at the end to make the other team burn clock. It’s going to be interesting if their offense is standing on the sideline watching Picayune eat the clock up.

Picayune defense is not their strong suit. They’re not bad but they’re far from a shut down defense. Laurel is big and physical and athletic. They have really good DL and LBs and we all know it don’t matter DB wise when playing Picayune. Picayune’s best defense is their offense. If Laurel plays like they have been the n Picayune will have trouble stopping them. For all the times that Picayune has been declared physical, I’d say Laurel is just as physical if not more unless they absolutely peaked against GC and played their best that night. The type off offense Laurel has can present plenty of problems for Picayune’s defense while Laurel literally only has to focus on stopping the run.  
Laurel plays in the Rock the first Saturday of December.

i disagree. our defense is as good as anyones. they are majority sophs and took a while to gel, but they are physical, tackle well and they can cover.  they create turnovers. last 3 games- against all good teams - they gave up 8 points a gsme.

That’s perfectly fine to disagree. Doesn’t mean it’s accurate.

Explain.


he wasnt on the sideline for the west jones game. And it’s not health related.  And the reason I was told isn’t really a reason to think he will be back this week. That’s as much as I am saying on here right now.

That’s quite a nugget.  And with that kind of distraction, I can’t foresee Laurel overcoming and beating a team of the quality of Picayune.

He might not be on the sidelines but I bet he will be coaching behind the scenes this week unless he done something that cost him his job.

I don't know about the coaching situation but I can say that Laurel 5 weeks ago and Laurel 2 days ago are much different.

The QB 2 days ago was out 5 weeks ago due to covid/injury, not really sure. I thought if WJ stopped Benjamin 2 days ago

they could win, and they did a decent job there. But after 2 long TD passes in the 1st Qtr that hit the receivers in stride, it was

apparent that just stopping Benjamin was not going to be enough. Benjamin is really good an now that they have a QB that

can throw it well, I don't know how you game plan them.

haha no it doesnt. but i have sat down at all those games and watched. so i have some perspective at least.

I understand. The last 4 opponents for Picayune were Long Beach, Gautier, Hattiesburg, and Brookhaven. Long Beach is bad. Gautier is one dimensional, Hattiesburg had no QB (I wasn’t there but saw clips) and it looked like they ran a different offense than usual because of that? Brookhaven cannot throw. Their QB is an athlete but looks like he’s trying to throw a 10lb shot when he throws. GC was best offense Picayune played other than maybe a Gulfport and I’d say they’re better than Gulfport. GC QB went down on first drive and freshman QB came off the bench and led 5 TD drives. The defense is there to be exploited by someone who knows how. Laurel is very balanced they’re better at running the ball IMO but they can throw and they have some dudes to throw to. It will be close but unless Laurel craps the bed in this one I think they win.
