Note to Greater Miami Conference opponents: Colerain is barreling ahead like Trammell Williams on one of his touchdown runs Friday night.
After outscoring its Greater Miami Conference opponents by an average of 38.3 points in its first three conference games, Colerain busted out a 62-7 defeat of Sycamore at Cardinal Stadium Friday.
Behind 155 rushing yards and three touchdowns from Williams and four interceptions by the steadfast Cardinals defense, Colerain posted its most dominant win yet to improve to 6-1, 4-0 in the GMC.
The win helped the Cardinals move past what coach Kerry Coombs felt was a "step back" in a 57-20 win last week at Princeton.
"I think the thing that was important for us was we've been playing so poor in the second half that we really needed to come out and play well early in that second half, and we did," Coombs said.
But the Cardinals gave themselves plenty of cushion before the second half.
After going three and out on its game-opening drive, Colerain scored on each of its next five drives in the first half to go into halftime ahead 35-0. Sycamore (2-5, 1-3) didn't score until there was 2:44 left in the fourth quarter.
"The No. 1 thing that stands out when you watch Colerain is their incredible speed, and they're as big this year as they've ever been," Sycamore coach Tom Adams said. "They've got some great players up front, some great players in the backfield, and they come up with a good scheme."
Williams, a junior, rushed for 150 yards and all three of his touchdowns in the first half, taking advantage of his turn in the Cardinals' triple option offense.
He said it was the most touchdowns he's scored in the game.
"You never know which given week somebody's going to have a good week. This week happened to be (Trammell Williams')," Coombs said. "We try to take whatever the defense will give us, and that was open tonight. I thought he did a good job running straight ahead, not getting caught."
On one of those touchdowns, Williams broke up the middle and outlasted several Sycamore defenders to put the Cardinals up 14-0 with 4:21 to play in the first quarter.
"I just saw the field, just the end zone," Williams said. "We're really catching on, doing what we've got to do."
Williams wasn't the only one putting up big plays.
The Colerain offense only needed a total time of possession of 14:43, combining with the defense to make quick strikes into the end zone throughout the night.
Meanwhile, the Colerain defense lived up to its usual standards, with Clifford, Steve Borchers, Paul Kroger and Brian Lainhart all picking off passes by Sycamore quarterback Mitch Allen.

Not to get off the topic of Tyler Moeller (since there is not a thread on Eugene Clifford, yet)...But Eugene's two TD's (one offensive, one defensive) were absolute beauties...I can't even begin to describe this kids athletic ability...as a junior, he is the most naturally gifted football player on Colerain's roster.

I'll post more on him when he has a thread and the goofballs who left him off of the list of top Ohio Jr's realize their mistake.


As for Tyler...I thought he played his second best game of the year last night..the things he did against the running game should be illegal. On one particular play he bull rushed the OT on an option play back into the QB..when the QB cut the run back inside, Tyler instinctivley spun to that side off the OT and leveled the QB in the gap. It was just a great football play for a three yard loss.
Tyler had two sacks by my count and one tipped pass that led to an interception.

Great job, Bobby!

Go Cards. Go Bucks.

I love Tyler's football abilities & instincts, but a 6'1" 205 lb HS senior does not seem like he will be able to grow into an elite college LB? I could be wrong though. Please tell me I'm wrong.

read back thru this thread. there have been many references to others who have grown into a good LB at that size. Plus he's not supposed to be a Bobby carpenter. The spread offense is the future, it's his job to defend it. Look at what Chizik asked his LBs to do (slim down), and they played pretty well against our spread.

at 6-1 he's already AJ Hawks height...at 205 he's only 25lbs lighter then Landon Johnson...starting OLB for the Cincinnati Bengals. The spread option offense is the fad of the day in college football. You need fast OLB's to cover it. (think of how effective AJ Hawk was against Vince Young)

Tyler is a football player, simply put. Will he be elite? you never can be 100% sure about anything aside from death and taxes...but he has the skill, the instincts, the heart, the determination and he is far from a prima donna. Tyler is a true Buckeye in my eyes and I can not wait for all of those north of Cincy to see him play.

Milford at Colerain

WHEN/WHERE: 7:30 p.m. today at Colerain HS, 8801 Cheviot Road.

RECORDS: Milford 2-5 (1-3 GMC), Colerain 6-1 (4-0).

WHAT TO WATCH: Milford surprised Hamilton 7-0 last week. The Eagles' Chris Ryan rushed for 53 yards and scored the game's only touchdown in the first quarter, and Milford's defense held Hamilton to 100 total yards. It will be a far different story here. Colerain has destroyed four GMC opponents by an average score of 53-10. Last week, junior RB Trammell Williams rushed for 155 yards and three TDs, and Colerain intercepted four passes in a 62-7 win over Sycamore.

BOTTOM LINE: Colerain beat Milford 70-3 last year. Milford has improved but not enough to stay in this one.

Not every LB has to be 6'3 250. 6'1 215 (where I think he'll fill out to) is plenty for a LB or safety. He's got great speed and he's a bulldog out there. That more than makes up for it.

Sometimes people get too worried about 10 or 15 pounds.

Tyler was credited with three sacks last night and two tipped punts in Colerains record setting 76-0 victory over Milford.

Colerain's defense scored the first two TD's of the game (A Eugene Clifford INT for a TD, Dante Thompson's fumble recovery for a TD) and added a third when Cobrani Mixon returned a INT for a touchdown.

Tyler will be in Columbus for the meatchicken state game. If you see him, be sure to say hello. (he's a shy kid and attention embarasses him...which is why I want all of you to say hello!)

:biggrin:
