They’re actually holding their own so far. 

The formula is there - Powell is very weak up front, and Karns has taken advantage. That sustained drive kept Powell's offense off the field for about 8 min too.

Powell has scored on 3 of their 4 possessions, but holding Powell to just 4 offensive possessions in a half has to be a win for them.

I need to know from powell fans. Is adarius content with his rankings and that’s it? He doesn’t seem interested! His routes don’t seem encouraging and he subs himself out as if he doesn’t care.. what do you guys think? 

Yeah, I don't like the body language that I've seen, and it will be interesting to see if things change at all. Powell has a bunch of quality WRs, and he isn't getting the bulk of the targets. This might be a hot take, but right now, he looks like a "me first" player, while the other WRs (Faust, Greene, Collins, Magdos, etc) are much more team oriented. You can see that in how they celebrate and cut up on the sidelines. 

He's young, so I'm hoping that will change in time. I remember when Darel Middleton started as a freshman, and I saw his enthusiasm plummet (and laziness skyrocket) as he got older. Here's hoping we don't see that happen.

So Powell's weakness is their defensive line and linebackers?  In the future, a team with a big offensive line and good running game would be able to shorten the game on Powell and limit Powell's offensive possessions? 

Because I'm sure that's what teams will try to do in the future.

You nailed it. Although, the linebackers are pretty solid, they just get hung out to dry a lot with the lack of line play.

Beech is the blueprint to beat a team like Powell, but they just turned the ball over way too many times in week 1. There are three teams left on Powell's schedule that will give the Panthers a lot of problems because they can't stop runs between the tackles without overloading. OR, West, and SD are all built to destroy that defensive line. 

Matt Lowe has done one thing to at least slow the bleeding. They rotate a ton of guys in their front seven, and that has at least helped keep guys fresh. They will even go back and forth between 3-down and 4-man fronts. They're just trying to find something that works at this point.

Sounds Very very similar to a guy from Bradley who is no longer a part of the team.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
