Omaha-Husker Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 How many passing yards did he have? He looks like a huge rusher instead of passer Last I saw was about 1500 passing yards and 1000 rushing. Link to comment
Nexus Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 After tonight's semifinal game, here are his season stats so far: Passing: 98/164 1844 yds. 27 td 59.7 comp. 0 int. Rushing: 143 rush 1226 yds. 16 td 8.57 yds./carry QB rating: 138.3 Link to comment
Nexus Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thought this was interesting and really puts Armstrong's abilities in proper perspective. This is a pre-game breakdown of the semifinal game that already occurred today. Note the bolded parts in particular. Breakdown Steele Offense vs. PA Memorial's defense+ Steele is averaging 36.1 points per game and runs a ball control offense that will try to keep Memorial off the field. PA Memorial's defense has been strong against the run, giving up just 126.0 yards per game. Steele quarterback Tommy Armstrong has not thrown an interception all season but Jaylon Howard, now playing safety, has six interceptions for Port Arthur Memorial. Memorial's defense should take away Steele's ability to run the ball. Steele has an average offensive line without any Division I prospects but runs a zone-blocking scheme which makes up for that. Edge: PA Memorial – Steele has yet to face a defense with the speed of Memorial's. LINK Armstrong and his Steele team produced 519 rushing yards tonight (with Armstrong accounting for 133 of those rushing yds.) against a team that was only allowing 126 yds. rushing per game this year. Not too bad for a 15-0 team with an "average offensive line with no Division I prospects" huh? Armstrong's stats aren't flashy by comparison to past Texas QB's we've recruited (Cody Green, Jamal Turner) but he seems to be a "grade A" game manager with very few mistakes. He's only fumbled twice this year and that was in his first game of the season against Aaron Green's alma mater, Madison. As already noted above, he's thrown zero interceptions so far this year heading into the state finals next weekend. By all accounts from people down in Texas (media, coaches, scouts, etc.) he's a straight up gamer and winner. Not flashy, but reliable. Link to comment

RexIsMyDogg Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 FYI Tommy's championship game vs Spring Dekany is Sat December 17@ 8pm on Fox Sports Southwest if you get it. Sadly I got rid of the sports package on Dish so I won't be watching it. You may be able to stream it online though. Also Southlake Carroll plays FB Madison? at 4 the same day. Should be a good one as well. Go Tommy! Husker Nation will be with you! 1 Link to comment

Current Huskers, Aaron Green (Madison alum) and Harvey Jackson (Hightower alum) were talking smack to each other via Twitter throughout the week about the game. Looks like Harvey has bragging rights now. Link to comment

RexIsMyDogg Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 For those of you in the know, how much of a difference in talent level is there from 5a division 1 vs. 5a 2? I thought it might be interesting to see southlake Carroll vs Steele in a +1 type game. Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Tommy Armstrong will play at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX @ 8:00pm Saturday night. If you can't make the game, Fox Sports Southwest will broadcast it on TV, except for in Dallas where the Stars (NHL) will be broadcast and the Cibolo Steele game will be broadcast on Fox Sports Plus. There will also be a web streaming of the game for those of you in other areas of the country. This kid is a winner. A leader. A hard worker... He's who can take us that extra level we need. Question is: will Bo give him the opportunity to do it and yank Martinez? Link to comment

iruletheskool Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Why in heaven's name would he have to beat out Martinez? We need to get to a spot where we aren't starting Frosh QB's, and if Taylor starts 2 more years, Tommy would be a RS Soph.. nothing wrong with sitting until then. Link to comment

We need to get to a spot where we aren't starting Frosh QB's, and if Taylor starts 2 more years, Tommy would be a RS Soph.. nothing wrong with sitting until then. in fact that sounds pretty damn good to me. he'll have 2-3 years under center and then the next guy comes in. we haven't had any kind of continuity at QB, yet you watch these SEC teams win championships with 3rd year starters (cept the freak Newton).
