From what I see from looking at last year stats it would suggest a rebuilding year. As the list below would suggest: · Lost Purdue QB replaced with a JR QB that had 4 passing attempts last year. · Lost 3 out of 4 top receivers including the two bests · On defense it looks like they have 1 returning starter. Ouch! One upside GS returns there leading rusher. Is GS going to become a rushing team? Edited May 11, 2022 by Slobberknocker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rushing team that can throw. Also, it's slightly frowned upon to give the backup Q a bunch of passing attempts during mop up time. Don't worry, he had his reps in JV... where the average margin of victory was 37 points and the team averaged 12.8 yards per carry. BUT. We know JV isn't a one-for-one translation to varsity. That said, Next Titan Up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch! One upside GS returns there leading rusher. Is GS going to become a rushing team? Tbh….QB is probably the least of the concerns? Hart is a phenomenal QB mentor and during his tenure so far over 10 years….every QB who was the starting QB, made All State 3A at least once. 4 different QBs…all 4 were all state caliber QBs and great in their own ways. GS will surely rush more this year than last year…but idk if it looks that much different for the opposing teams. It’s still going to line up as 4 receivers shotgun RPO I bet.….only change is that the guy we presume is going to be the starter can take it 70 yards for the touchdown with his legs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumfriesYMCA Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I would also like to add that GS’s leading rusher is so much more than a runner. He made varsity as a freshman and played WR. Think he got banged up at some point that year but still showed plenty of flashes as a freshman. switched to RB last year but still was used a lot in the passing game. he might not play RB this year for all we know and could go back to WR. He’s just flat out a weapon you get the ball to 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch! One upside GS returns there leading rusher. Is GS going to become a rushing team? https://www.maxpreps.com/in/fort-branch/gibson-southern-titans/football/21-22/stats/ Seniors get more action. Defense #3 in tackles All conference returns (missed last 2 games). (40 solo, 13 assist, 21 TFL) #4 (39 solo,8 assist,2 TFL)in tackles returns LB with significant varsity experience. Another DL/LB with significant varsity experience other than clean up. Another DE with significant varsity experience other than clean up. We will have secondary questions to figure out....but we could go with a couple 2-way guys (blasphemy at GS!) Offense #2 in total yards All conference returns 1324 (AP) from scrimmage returns. #4, #5 and #6 receivers return for totals of 461, 362, (missed 4 last games), 256, return. #1, #2 and #4 rushers return for totals of 863, 362, 357 2 Offensive linemen that started full or part-time return. Thoughts Expect total yardage to be near 50% from runs and 50% from passes this season. Expect a very physical and aggressive front 7...we will match up nicely against the guys in our conference who might want to ground and pound. Losing QB1 was huge after one of the best senior performances by an Indiana QB I have ever seen, but he won one sectional for us. In 2015 we lost all 11 Defensive starters and was good enough to win sectional the following year had our QB not broken his collar bone. Look at what Lawrenceburg lost this season and they are ranked #3...come on man. Also, a very successful JV team with upper classmen waiting their turn who made some varsity squads look really bad in the 3rd and 4th quarters: JV rushing 1675 for 12.8 yards per carry very talented group. JV receiving 687 for 14.9 yards per reception. Junior QB hasn't lost to a PAC opponent from 3rd through 10th grade. Junior QB 44/87 641 yards 51% 12 TD 4 INT 32 minutes ago, DumfriesYMCA said: I would also like to add that GS’s leading rusher is so much more than a runner.

It's common sense. You don't just replace a generational talent at the most important position in sports and not skip a beat.

DumfriesYMCA Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Seeing PAC rival fans say “we know better than to think they will be down this year” is a good feeling thinking back to when people said that GS doesn’t have any tradition or culture. the team has come a long way in 10 years and it’s nice when even the rivals are saying “nah they are doing things the right way and will be ready to play” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im surprised to hear that. You are talking about losing the two greatest impact players in the history of the program, and people expect GS will just "reload" and continue to dominate. I havent seen any GS players on any of the preseason recruiting lists or top returning players lists. Then you also need to take into account the "payback factor." Teams will be chomping at the bit to get a shot at the Titans now that the team isnt so top heavy with elite talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the last 3-4 years, Gibson had nearly a half dozen games on the schedule where they could simply show up and win handily. Even an average/slightly above average GS team can roll out of bed and beat Princeton, Washington, Pike Central and Tell City annually. One could make the argument that boosting their schedule the last 2-3 seasons benefitted then immensely when they arrived at LOS and had already seen teams on par with/better than Brebeuf.

Lets not forget Tecumseh, Forest Park, South Spencer, North Posey. Many 65-7 type GS walkover wins over the past decade. Understood, you've got to play who is on your schedule. GS has done a nice job upgrading their non con over the past several seasons. But the bluebloods of Indiana high school football have built their records beating like size schools, or bigger schools.

Im giving credit to all the schools. They all appear in my Top 10. (GS/LB/HH) Fact is they are all relatively even in my view. They will determine the outcome on the field, which is as it should be. I do not subscribe to the theory that the defending state champ should open on top. Why do all the research and conduct the interviews and watch the video if we are just going to do rankings based on past records. I ranked two time undefeated Center Grove 4th in Class 6A and they are not bitching and whining and moaning about the ranking. They lost the most highly recruited player they have ever had and a QB who is going to play in the SEC, as well as a DE who is going to Michigan State. Chill out dude. You're boys will be all right.

DumfriesYMCA Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Back on topic. All I’m asking is that you rank teams in a class with the same criticisms. I don’t think GS is #1…but I certainly wouldn’t have them at 9 and below teams that are playing a much less difficult schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
