I went to a dinky little high school. Our football team wasn't good offensively at all. Couldn't pass at all. We used to win or lose low-scoring games. The teams in the division were almost all run first offenses.
So my eldest is now in high school and playing in the marching band so I go every Friday night to watch. Man, I am impressed. The school operates out of the pistol offense and the team can throw out of a variety of spread-offense packages. They even audible and run a lot of nifty misdirection running plays - many which break big runs. The biggest problem they have is penalties (I swear they must have 20 holding and false start penalties in the last two games).
I wonder if the HS game has evolved like this around the country?
Not much down field passing that I can remember. Even from opponents.
Went to school in upstate NY in the late 90s.
The team in my area now throws deep more often than the Giants do. In two games, there have been NFL-worthy type catches in the end zone.
And no, Texas high school football is not better than Rutgers. Not even close.

Yes it is
We live breath sleep and do football. Such a shame since I moved to NJ.
I said that tongue in cheek obviously. I think RU would win by 3. Although the more I see of this RU- Morgan St game I may change my opinion.
And these days I live walking distance from Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, which is a baseball and football dynasty. A bunch of guys in the NFL graduated from there, but I haven't attended a single game.
Then when I got into high school, we had Scott Burrell, who was same grade as me (1st round pick in MLB and NBA - first player to do that I believe) and he was a QB, and it changed everything. He was 6' 5" - 6' 6" as a freshman, a cannon arm and could run. We deviated from the bone and ran some spread, and lost in the state finals, but those were the best teams my high school had and they were fun to watch
Howie Long is an alumni.
Which catholic school?
BC grad here.

That's just a ridiculous statement. One of the most absurd I've ever heard on BBI. Well done.
LT, Plax, Vick, Jerod Mayo, Kenny Easley, Dre Bly, Tyrod Taylor, DeAngelo Hall, etc...That is a ridiculous football hotbed
Welcome to football in the South.

Hur dur let's take an empty headed jab at Rutgers!
Fuck you
As for those of you who are so brave using profanity behind the safety of a keyboard I hope that you don't have a Rutgers education or I would have to reevaluate my opinion of the schools educational quality.
By the way congrats on beating a historically black school today. I look forward to when you play OSU, Mich, Wisc or PSU.

Certainly adds a funny twist to the little spate we had on a Yankees thread a few weeks back. Haha. Cheers.
Listen friend, I played high level HS ball and D1 football for a big program. There is no way in hell IMG, StA or MD or a Fucking all star team is beating a big D1 program from a Power 5 conference.
They could play 10 vs 11 and it wouldn't be close.
I'd explain it to you with detail, but the claim you're making is so beyond absurd that it's not even worth another 30 seconds.
Holy shit, the stupid is strong on BBI these days.
