Hampton @ Harding Academy

[sickwillie]

Thoughts?

[Old Scrapper]

I think Hampton has a good shot to pull it out if they don't suffer jet lag from traveling.

[dawgpound]

Is Harding's field turf

[Old Scrapper]

Is Harding's field turf

I'm not sure. It's been years since I have been there.

[eldofan]

Hampton by 6

[Hgalum50]

Yes they play on Harding University field.

[raider99]

Harding Academy gets the win in this one but I believe Hampton will have a good showing.

[panther07]

I don't think Hampton has seen proficiency throwing it like they will Friday. And I think Hampton gets worn down. HA plays basically all 1 way guys.

[baseball13]

I don't think HA has seen the physicality they will Friday. The speed on the dline will get to the QB

[panther07]

Oh Goodness. Ok. Hampton just a big ole bully

[Monsta]

Is Harding's field turf

yes they play on Harding university field, And HA BY 14

I will promise you they have seen that type of physicality. They are in the same conference with Clinton who is smashmouth all the way

[Bearden_Bear72]

Harding Academy plays a weak 3A schedule.  True you play Clinton but who else? Bald know......average, Heber Springs.....average.  Most other teams they play only have one or two wins each.  If Harding Academy is a true passing team then that will be completely new to Hampton.  For that reason I do think they will be able to move the ball some.  Hampton apart from Clinton will be one the more physical teams HA will play.  Hampton has also never played on turf this season I don't believe so that might make a difference.

In the end I think Hampton is starting to hit a playoff stride and will take this game by 7 on the road

[dawgpound]

I would like to see Hampton play a passing team before playoffs just for the experience.  One concern is when you play 2a football in the south there is a lot of holding that you get away with during a game so i wonder how this game will be called

Considering it's a home game for HA I expect most calls to go there way.  Hampton is gonna have to work on secondary adjustments on the field and play fundamental coverage.  Hopefully Hampton coach hasn't ignored this part of defense

[dawgpound]

They done pretty good against fordyce covering passes heck i think we caught more of their passes than they did

Honestly that's not saying much.  Fordyce only threw 3 times against JC.  It's very obvious they are not good at it lol.  I'm not sure about star City, but in conference PC probably is best passing team.

What do you know about the teams HA plays? You guys really act like Hampton is going to something the likes of Some little ole harding academy has never seen. Give me a break man. Hampton may come up there and whip us, but I pinky promise Hampton isn't anything harding has never seen and beaten.


If you're not really sure if HA is a passing team or not, you know very little about HA. They've been doing it and winning titles doing it since the 90's. What it boils down to is that you're not real sure of much about HA. And that's fine. But don't make assumptions about their physicality etc. when you're not even sure what they do offensively. They'll run stuff Hampton players didn't know existed.

The juggernaut that is the Fordyce passing game...

Stop getting your feelings hurt.  I admitted not knowing much about HA.  All I can say is about their schedule.  It's seens like your stuck in past seasons instead of this one.  I don't really know what I said that got you so upset.  I thought I made legit points personally lol.  I never said Hampton was unlike anything you ever seen.  I actually said Clinton was the best you played.  Didn't even say Hampton plays a better schedule, just that HA plays a weak 3A one.  I wouldn't have mentioned passing if I didn't have a idea of what HA likes to do.  I just wasn't sure if it was 75% or 90% passing.  HA has a great tradition but won't stop Hampton I'm sorry.  Your gonna have to come out and play a good game.

HA throws for 250 a game competing 65% of throws and runs for 190 per game. Pretty darn good offensively. I've seen Hampton play. They have some fantastic players. Fast and physical. HA will most assuredly have to play well. If they do play well, I think they beat them a couple scores.

[Bearden_Bear72]

Just wondering panther is there a team HA played this year that runs 90% of the time.  Is that what Clinton does?  I know more about HA then I do Clinton.  I know they got some big boys

[panther07]

Clinton runs wing T. And run it very well. Clinton has the biggest high school offensive line I've seen in very long time. Most teams in small Arkansas football do run the ball the majority of the time. Finding teams that run it is not nearly as hard as finding teams that can throw it with any sort of consistent success.

It should also be noted that what Hampton attempts to do offensively is what Harding University runs. We're pretty familiar with flexbone and option football in searcy.

[Bearden_Bear72]

10-4 hope it's a good game with no injuries

[Bearden_Bear72]

What is the depth of HA?

[panther07]

What is the depth of HA?

They have one player going both ways.

[dawgpound]

Hampton will need to carry a pretty good lead late in the game bc of the fresh legs Harding will have.  On another note if ha qb has to set very long before throwing the ball he will have a long night

[baseball13]

I will promise you they have seen that type of physicality. They are in the same conference with Clinton who is smashmouth all the way

Clinton will get bounced in the second round by Prescott. Clinton is a good  team but not a great team.

Hampton isn't Prescott OR Clinton

Correct

What are you basing that on?

The obvious

What insight you have.

Just wait about 2 and half weeks and you will get the memo finally....

[Bearden_Bear72]

I don't think you can count Clinton on, but Prescott is a really good team. 

[panther07]

If they lose to Prescott, that makes them just ok?

[YOUKNOWWHO]

HA rolls in this one. Hampton has a real good run defense but the pass defense is terrible. Hampton wont be able to get many stops on defense and the offence is so predictable it the same 3 plays over and over again.

HA-42
Dogs- 14

willie you got a headache or something?

[sickwillie]

willie you got a headache or something?

Yes, I do. Trying to figure out why you think the score will be that one sided

[panther07]

Yes, I do. Trying to figure out why you think the score will be that one sided

Agree. I think HA wins but more like 34-21

[dawgpound]

If it's so predictable why do teams have so much trouble stopping it

[panther07]

To be fair, the good teams you've played have controlled it somewhat. 12 against JC. 21 against fordyce.  I don't mean that as any sort of knock. I love option football. Watch it every Saturday. But I think Hampton will have to score quite a bit Friday.

[YOUKNOWWHO]

Hampton is not very good at it. The good teams have basically stopped it for the most part. I don't think Hampton will score much and HA will pick the Dawgs secondary apart all night, (if he has time). Hamptons front 5 are real good.

HA will have to have long drives to give their D a rest. Hampton will wear down HA and win it in the 4th.

The team with every player playing both ways? The team whose backfield will now have to cover WR's down the field all game when they have hardly seen the forward pass?  That doesn't make sense man. Like I said earlier, Hampton may thump us, but what you guys are saying doesn't have much logic behind it.

that south arkansas logic never adds up.

Hampton don't have every player playing both ways. 6 maybe 7 are playing both sides of the ball.

[panther07]

7 2 ways guys is a lot. And with 20 players, they're playing special teams as well. The numbers don't add up to HA wearing down before Hampton.
