Powell leads at half, 21-7. OR fortunate to only be down by 2 scores, as bad as their offense has been.

Looked like they finally started to make a few adjustments. Just taking what Oak Ridge was giving instead of trying to push it deep every play

Yup. That's all you have to do when the defense sends those guys play after play. Live to fight another down.

[osunut2]

OR goes backwards again, and another 3 and out. OR still with just one first down so far tonight.

Powell ball at their own 35.

[osunut2]

Powell crosses midfield again. All 8 drives have made it into Wildcat territory so far tonight.

[osunut2]

Panthers get into the red zone again, but the Panthers are held to a FG. Panthers lead 24-7 midway through the 3rd qtr.

[osunut2]

OR with a nice kickoff return, and they just ran their first offensive play in Panthers territory tonight.

[osunut2]

Man, the number of pre-snap penalties on both of these teams has been insane for a game this late in the season.

[osunut2]

OR gets a first down (just their second of the game), but they go backwards. Tarwater throws another INT, and Powell returns it deep into OR territory. OR starting to come unglued a bit here.

Probably a good thing that this game isn't being streamed. OR's offense has been absolutely terrible.

[osunut2]

Powell scores two plays later. Panthers lead 31-7 with under 4 min left in the 3rd qtr.

All 9 Powell drives have either started or entered the OR side of the field.

[osunut2]

Another great kickoff return for OR into Powell territory. We'll see if they can do anything with it.

[osunut2]

OR into the red zone for the first time tonight. Wildcats turn it over on downs at the 15.

Interesting stat - OR hasn't logged a single drive with multiple first downs tonight (3 total first downs).

[osunut2]

Powell leads 31-7 as we start the 4th qtr. OR takes over after a Powell punt near midfield.

A piece of friendly advice for the OR prep radio crew. I get that this is a homer show and a homer crew. And maybe I'm being a little too critical. But at least try, please try, to keep it somewhat professional. Try to take those cardinal colored glasses off at least once in awhile.

You've got a color guy who literally sounds like he's about to pass a kidney stone after every dang snap.
