This game shall be very interesting to say the least. It is unknown whether Lions QB Zac Tate will play or not Friday Night. If not, look for Eric Belew to get the start for the Lions. Shelbyville comes in a little banged up as well. The difference will be which team handles their adversity the best? Shelbyville seems to have some internal team problems amongst themselves while Columbia has injuries and the distraction of "Homecoming" week. All of these reasons or "distractions" will be a test for both teams. The team that can come out and stay focused will win this game. To me whoever starts at quarterback for Columbia doesn't matter. Columbia will pound the ball behind a good offensive line and will continue to play fast and dominating defense.
Columbia 38
Shelbyville 17
