RD 2 Marshall County @ Tullahoma

[TTownFan50]

While Marshall County is a good team, I do not believe they match up well against Tullahoma.  Tullahoma is bigger, faster, and stronger than MC, especially at the line of scrimmage.  Tullahoma also have multiple kids that can take it the house on any play.  If the game is turnover free I expect the score to be closer than the week 3 score, but I believe Tullahoma  advances to the next round.

They will have to go thru Elizabethton to win state. That will not be an easy game. 

Elizabethton will have to make it past Greeneville or AC first. Those will not be easy games in the playoffs. Lets not go crowning Betsy just yet.

Tullahoma by 2 scores. I have not seen either team play so it's just a guess at this point. But from what I have read Tullahoma is just that good.

LOTS of football yet to be played by some very good teams

Lead, y’all get the discipline problems fixed this past week? I really believe the rematch will be a lot closer than most people expect. If the tigers play with the same intensity they did against Springfield, they’ll be hard to beat.

Somewhat form what I heard on the radio. I havent seen a game this year due to my work schedule but I have listened to every one. Not sure how many penalty yards we had but I believe it was way down compared to the last couple of games. MC will have to play a grind it out type of game on offense and get off the field on 3rd down on defense. They will have to limit the big plays. They can't win if they get into a scoring battle with Tullahoma.  Osteen needs to learn that 3 pts is acceptable and not try to turn the game into four down territory in the early going. He has a history of doing that in the playoffs and it hasn't ended well either time. Cant give good teams a short field and expect to keep up.

Yep it’s playoff time and every point is crucial in close games

I’m more worried about covid than anything else because we had 2 defensive starters out this week and it’s the 3rd time this year we have been hit with contract tracing.

It is definitely the elephant in the room.  You never know when it may raise its ugly head

I don't see Marshall Co. beating Tullahoma, If your good ,your good when playing the same team twice and Tullahoma is that good. Tullahoma when's this one..

I agree, while I expect it to be close in the first half I expect Tullahoma’s physical play to wear down MC and they pull away in the second half, Tullahoma 38 - MC 14.

It sure has been quiet on this thread!!! Maybe that’s a GOOD THING??? I’m a Marshall County homer, but Tullahoma is an ELITE team this year. We SURE have our work cut out tomorrow night!!!

Just want to say good luck to our future region mates.
