Might be first to score then......Tyner has 33 rushing yards on us and 50 passing so this game should be a slobberknocker.

Yes it will be. Gonna be some tired and sore kids lol

Two of our linemen from last night's game at Alabama. Proud of these guys and happy that we get them back for another year too. (Kane for 2 yrs )

I have so much respect for Coach Fitz and the entire Meigs staff.  Having an off week to prepare and rest up may prove crucial - but the Marion offense is not that complicated.  As has already been said - big question for me is can Meigs contain the basic Marion offense with their powerful line as well as their fast and hard running backs.  I think that they mostly will be able to do just that.  Meig's punter is a weapon - Tyner saw that first hand.  This will probably be a field position game.  I lean towards Marion being able to break a few big plays and pull out the victory but Coach Fitz and his team will fight and they may have another trick or two up their sleeves and pull this game out.  Good luck to both teams.  Maybe we can pull an upset in round 1 and get a rematch with the winner.

Meigs had an off week??I was on the fence but now I'm leaning towards Marion.Some may like off weeks but I personally think they kill a teams momentum.

Appreciate the nod friend. This is the best team you have had since 17 and I'm not sure this team isn't better. I'd be surprised if you didn't make it to round 2.

Wouldn't say we had momentum. We had a gut check at the very least. We will be fine.

How big is the number 8 kid who plays QB??? He looks Jamarcus Russell back there.

I hope you will but the off weeks do more harm than good.

I'm for it considering the type game we just had. Our game with Tyner was a playoff caliber game and not necessarily rest but healing was probably needed. We normally play just fine after being off a week.

I agree. I dont know if it was senior night or just lack of quality opponents prior to facing the Rams but our Offense is a lot better than it  showed that night.

Run D was solid as always minus couple of tough runs. Tyner has a great running back to go with a solid passing attack.

I expect Tyner to give H2O or TC all they can handle

I believe when we played them it said 6'4. I know he made our guys look small. But he was not very mobile. I dont believe he attempted to run at all.  And he ate us up the first half and was on target. We couldn't get pressure. 

Second half we started hitting him and getting pressure and it was a different story. It looked like the so called Mr. Football contender from South Green last year when we played them. He was underthrowing and overthrowing and had only one big pass for long yardage that was nice and the TD in the corner on 4th down.

He will be a great next year. If he was more mobile would be very hard to stop.

He’s a heavy joker too isn’t he? Looks that way on video for sure!
