SweetScience Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Until Oak Ridge starts playing in week zero this game will be tough for us to win. We need to improve a lot on both sides of the ball. Agreed. The no game in week zero hurts us, but everybody is probably sick of hearing me say that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetScience Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 It's the truth! Love to know who the genius was that continually scheduled us not to play in week 0 while Farragut did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladerunner Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) It could be that whoever made the schedule could not work out a game on week zero with said teams. But it looks like this is going to be a permanent excuse for losing. It may help to play in week zero.. But after playing a tough team like DB they cld be let down a little in the second game. Let's hope they are. We just need to be prepared come game time. Edited August 16, 2014 by bladerunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catswild Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Did anyone see Farragut last night? Since they beat AC, they must be good. It will be another tough opener. We need to improve a lot in two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not see the game but from the sounds of It AC should have scored a couple times and did not play Fox or Phillips, one of the AC fans said that AC's line dominated and AC doubled Farraguts yardage, I was not there so this is strictly what I was told, but if what I was told is true than I am sticking to my earlier prediction of OR dominating the line of scrimmage and getting the win by around 2 scores Edited August 16, 2014 by Mav4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfromsi Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I saw the scrimmage. AC's line was dominant. They had 2 long drives down the field the resulted in a interception and a turnover on downs. Farragut did well on their 1st possession and were stopped on their 2nd. AC looked good and will be force in the district. Farragut looked good on offense, but I thought they were slow on D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I keep going back and forth on this game...expect both teams to be improved but from what I have heard, neither have been very impressive in scrimmages. I think I will go with Farragut in this game because they get to play a game first and will have the advantage of working out some kinks. Farragut 24 OR 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyfromsi Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thank you very much Bounder! He's a small guy, but making the most of his opportunities. Yes, we can say he is the only Wildcat to score a touchdown against Maryville this season. My wife is very excited about the opportunity, but it will make for some awkward moments come the 29th.

Cactus Jack Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Farragut has to get by DB first, and that is a tough opener, but advantage there to Farragut, getting to play a Week Zero game and making the improvements before coming to Oak RIdge. The Wildcats need to step it up in all areas to be ready for the WIne and Cheese crowd coming to the new bleachers at Blankenship. They have not impressed in scrimmages, and the lines will have to get much better to handle the big lines Farragut has. Last year Oak Ridge lost the game at Fox Den with two critical early turnovers and was unable to recover. General Neyland was always right when he said the team that makes the fewest mistakes wins.
