Croz, not just the 197 rushing yards. How do you explain kicking from SC's 45 to him?? The near 100 yard return and at least one reception for 20 yards or so were evidence of how good a player he is.

Everybody is doing a lot of talking about records. The Firebird's have won games against teams with a combined record of 21-29 (42%). The Owls 46-54 (46%). Not too much difference. The teams that Pearl Cohn has played are probably better as a whole, but several of those teams would be considered down a little by their own standards this season. Pearl Cohn is a good football team and I think they will come in here and play well. I still think the Owls execute a tad better and WIN. Go Big Owls!!!!

Smith County's opponents won 46% of their games. Pearl Cohn's opponents won 53% of their games. The results aren't that dissimilar. I think the Firebird's schedule was tough, for sure, but out of the teams they played, several of them would be considered to be down, by their standards. MBA at 5-5???? Cmon now. PC lost a several close ones. SC will win this game. All you Gville fans, that love to ride every other team that can beat SC, can take your tails somewhere else Friday night. I know that if you do come, you'll sit on the visitor side and ride the Firebirds. They are a good team. Probably the best 8 seed in the playoffs. Gotta beat them all anyway.

I see what you mean, FIREBIRD. The game 2 years ago was a defensive gem. With the only TD in the game coming on a trick play from SC. Last year's game was a 2 score game at the half and PC got the snowball rolling downhill in the 2nd half. SC had no answer. The Owls are definitely better than they were last year. Is PC as good?? That's the question I'm not sure the answer to.

Pearl Cohn is a good team, without doubt. I think the game will resemble the contest 2 years ago much more than last years games. There are things that favor Smith County in this contest that I think, at the final horn Friday, will have the Owls the victor again. Will it be easy?? No way. CPA, in my opinion, should not have had to rely on a late FG block and favor from Pearl Cohn to win. Again, just my opinion. The Firebirds will pose some problems athletically. Smith County has a bit of ability, as well. For a small and slow country school, that is.

Great high school football game that was exciting till the end. Execution on both sides left a lot to be desired. May have been a testament to how good both teams are. Not real sure?? Should be a good game next week in the Hole. Pearl Cohn knows how to get here!!

Way to bounce back Blue Devils! Good luck in the second season!

And I hope the Owls remember the actions and comments from former coach of 2 years ago and place a memorable thrashing on the Dragons. Tune up for the playoffs.

What a ya say, let's pray at both goalposts and take back the mountain? Go BIG OWLS!

There are those in every crowd. I thought the OC called a decent game. Stuck with the run game that was very successful at times. Took several shots downdfield, that fortunately for SC, were just misses. WH also had a few drops in crucial situations. The OC can't catch them. The Blue Devils could be a hard out should they win this week and make it in. Best of luck from Big Owl Country.

SC looks great on TV!!! Pretty dang good execution on the Owls part for this one. Hope the TV crew had a great time and come back to showcase our Owls again soon.

Exactly! On the 50!!!! Fixin to get get bundled up and head over for all the evening festivities!!!! Let's GO BIG OWLS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Football weather!! Biggest game tonight in a long time. Can't wait!!! GO BIG OWLS!!!!

The only bad thing about the mercy rule is the snaps taken away from the young ones. Teams that manage the quick time well, have an advantage in developing depth. I've seen the SC staff orchestrate what looked like a Chinese fire drill in the 2nd half of some games in the past to get a lot of kids game reps. That is fun to watch. 6 on, 6 off. It's easy, right???? LOL

Rank SC where you will. Don't guess it really matters. MC remaining schedule may not be as daunting as your first 5, but plenty daunting enough. I predict MC to have problems with them all. Another 5-5 season from this point would be a favorite. I also still contend any defense that allows MC to score 44, has serious issues, I just didn't see that kin of firepower Friday night. Anyway, good luck the rest of the way. Go Big Owls!!!!

snoball, RoyalT. They talked all that bull about having already played all the "tough" teams on their slate. Even grouping Jo Byrns in that group. Truth is MC isn't very good. The much talked about offense was never in the game. Truth is SC is easily in the top 2-3 teams they will play on the year. May even be the best. Every team left on their schedule will give them problems. DeKalb and Livingston will challenge them.

So when you achieve what you are supposed to achieve it is ok to talk smack about it? Your Tigers are gonna have a tall task to get to .500 in a year where I heard you might not lose a game. I expected more, I really did. What I got was what I'm used to seeing from SC.

I'll take SC's QB over any I've seen this year. Stands tall in the pocket, run it with authority, and makes good decisions. Went 4-12 last night but he can't throw it and catch it too. He has made a lot of exceptional catches on snaps that he has to make just to read, hand or fake.

I wouldn't look for them anytime soon. They just lost their super bowl and the game that they had ear marked as a win during the soft stretch of their schedule. In my eyes, same song, different verse. I really liked the changes up front against MC specifically.

For all intents and purposes, they were put away at 21-0. The score that was coming before the bad snaps and following interception would have cranked the bus. Macon never really stopped SC. SC stopped SC. SC still has a couple sloppy things that need attention. Should that happen, the Owls will be a tough out come second season.

I do agree, but that was 3rd and 15+ after two straight bad snaps. If the snap is sure I don't think we ever throw again. That was a 2 TD swing that was terrible and if we're playing anybody good, likely costs us a game. We're marching right down the field up 21-0 and are gonna score again because MC sure ain't gonna stop us. I did think the play-calling was great early and set the tone for the night!

You don't think so snoball? Did you think it was really a 17 point difference?

In my opinion this could have been 45-6 just as easily as it turned out 38-21. Macon County only had 49 yards rushing on 23 carries as a team.

I had to cut out at halftime. Had to sing at 9:00 a couple counties away.
