3rd Round, Nolensville @ Tullahoma

[Knights21]

Tullahoma had a special season but had not been tested.  Nolensville had to pull out 4th Quarter wins in 2 of their last 3.  That helped in clutch time.  Tullahoma looked tight most of the game.  Wow.  What an unbelievable run for this team.  They continued to grow all season.

That is a very big factor in tight games, congrats on the win and good luck next week...

Hats off to Nolensville. In the end they made more plays than Tullahoma. Great game plan and well executed. Good luck to you guys next week. I may make a drive up and watch that matchup.

I wanna know what happened to Tullahoma up 14-13 and driving?

Two penalties.  They had 1st down at the 20. Then had send down near mid field then missed a field goal.

Great football game.  When a team goes all season without being tested, you never really know how they will respond when they are.  NHS was able to bottle up Thomas most of the night and it looked like he got quite frustrated.  Special teams were the difference.  3 missed FGs for Tullahoma and the bad snap on a punt that led to the winning safety and a 99 yard KO return by Samson Johnson right after the one big Thomas play of the night to give Tullahoma their first lead.   Great season for Tullahoma and a lot of young players, they will be back.  Now for the rematch with Elizabethton!

Very Poor Offensive game plan for Tullahoma!

There didn't seem to be much of a Plan B with Nolensville keeping #2 contained.  The kid is going to make plays but only had 2-3 backbreakers on the night.  The Nolensville DL held up to Tullahoma's OL and there was little ground to be had when they tried to run up the gut with anyone else.  I can't remember more than 1 or 2 passes caught by anyone other than #2.  Kudos to Coach Derrick and his staff for solving the puzzle in 4 days.

Nolensville did a great job. Exposed the secondary of Tullahoma that opened up their run game.  Made Tullahoma cover the whole field.  Nolensville Line kept the rush off their QB most the night.  

 Tullahoma went to new formations and and plays but does not have the flexibility to adjust on the fly and change the routs on those formations.  QB running back and forth to the sideline all night to get plays.  Never seen that before.  Must not have been able to read signals for new plays..  Tullahoma scored twice on Offense and Nolensville once.  Poor game plan and poor adjustments for a round 3 ball game.  You have 4 receivers over 3 defenders and you don't run 3 deep and let 1 stand there?  How bad!  Can't adjust.  Video game stuff.  Can't adjust.  Coaches should feel sick over the game plan for Tullahoma.

The missed opportunities they had and never adjusted. They went pretty conservative, never worked the middle of the field, and relied on their defense. I know the defense only gave up one score, but the feeling thru the game, I never had the sense that the defense was in control. In doing so, they let a bad snap on a punt beat them.
