Lincoln is good against the run. That is the only reason I think Highlands only scores 27.

As you have coached against Highlands, you obviously have a pretty good perspective. I'm sure Lincoln has a good rush defense and that will limit Highlands ability to run the ball, but because Highlands runs the ball so well my guess is that you didn't get the opportunity to see Highlands passing game very much (don't know who you coach for and its none of my business). If Lincoln is having some success stopping Highlands running game, Highlands will pass the ball and Highlands definitely passes the ball well, they just haven't done it much because their run game has been so dominant. Thus Lincoln will need to be able to stop both the very good running and very good passing game of Highlands. If they can't do both, then I think Highlands will score more than 27. If they can stop both our running and passing game and also score against Highlands D (which is very fast) then Lincoln will have definitely earned the semi final win. I can assure you and the other folks on here, I've not heard anything but compliments about Lincoln from the Highlands coaches and players. Lots of respect being given. Good luck to both teams and good luck to your team next year if you are no longer playing and if you are, good luck to you this Friday.
