TC vs Goodpasture

[TCnation]

TC is limping through the season thus far. Coming off a bad loss last week, can the Yellow Jackets pull it together for an important region win? I think they refocus and get the W. What say you?

  Just depends on who the Jackets are able to put on the field. A completely healthy team would probably win BIG. Health is a HUGE part of small town football, you can go from powerhouse to chumps fast.

Truer words have never been spoken. Good to see Hampton getting some recognition

Hard to tell this year.  Goodpasture is having a tough time of it too.  Hopefully the Jackets can pull out a W.

  We've had ALOT of problems as well, hopefully we'll both get healed up and ready to go by the end of the season,I usually hate bye weeks,but this one comes at a great time for us. Hope you whip the britches off of GP.

I think that can be said for small school football period. We had 13 players out in early August and had a scrimmage game with another really good 2A school and got whipped. All but 4 are back now and we are doing well. When you are small like us or TC and you lose a stud it really hurts! Big 4, 5 and 6A schools can sustain during those injuries but small schools can't. I was getting updates from BallFrog last Friday on TC and was floored at the score. No doubt injuries have killed you because if I remember correctly you have the majority of your team back from last year. I really hope those boys recover well and can come back. Good luck the rest of the season. We all know TC will be there when it counts!

I know Harper is out and that is huge, but I thought TC would still be very good.  Who else do they have out other than Harper and will they get them back down the stretch?  I thought once Harper came back they may make a playoff run, just curious who else is hurt and if they are season ending or not.  TC should still roll through the region and into the playoffs.

Our line is struggling right now. Graduation hit us hard in the line. We have good skill players that returned, but as everyone knows, line play can make or break a team. Not gonna comment any about injuries specifically...everyone knows about Harper. TC's situation is akin to Beech's last yr with the loss of Hurd (ofcourse on a different level..lol). When your offense is based 65-70% around one player...& that player goes down in the 2nd qtr of the season opener..it catches you off guard. We just haven't been able to overcome that adversity. I think it demoralized the team. It's up to them to take control and remotivate. At this point it's focus on the region games..get to November & let's see what happens

Last Friday FC scored on their opening drive. We get the ball..our first play from scrimmage was a deep skinny post route that was picked. FC scores again quickly. We're down 2 TDs before you can blink. The team looked flat from that point on. Not taking anything away from FC...they looked pretty solid. I was disappointed the boys didn't show more moxie.

Only Harper was out vs FC but he is 75% or more of their offense and special teams. They have had a couple others miss time with concussions but they played last Friday. From my vantage point last week it seemed many of the TC faithful had turned on the team and some fans were even yelling at coach Creasy!

Their team played hard until FC scored to go up 21-0 then several laid down. It's tough when you lose a lot of linemen to graduation like TC this season or FC last season. Add losing your best offensive weapon and it magnifies it exponentially.

I felt like FC coach McNeal laid off once the MERCY RULE went into effect and got his JV in rather than running it up like many teams would have done given the same chance vs TC.

HARPER Returning will help but the sideline towel wavers and other TC fans need to be a little more encouraging IMO.

Trousdale wins this game. They will be better once Harper gets back. They still have a shot in the east, but beating Marion or Grace will prove tough.

If line play doesn't improve, we're gonna struggle. Period
