Tullahoma will face a tough opponent for Homecoming. I think we know the strength of this team is defense. Tullahoma will have to find a way to produce some points. I think it will still be somewhat low scoring: over/under 33.5, Columbia -10.

I’ll say Columbia 21, Tullahoma 10. I hope I’m wrong. 

Videos I have seen of Columbia, they have a  big line, and they have a  lot of speed. There running back McCoy had over 200 yards last week  against Lawrence County.

They have the size and speed advantage over the TulCats as mentioned previously. This one is probably not going to be pretty. I don't see Tullahoma's d-line stopping their big guys up front for 4 quarters. Just hoping to see Tullahoma still in it by half. The game plan needs to be ball control and shortening the game. Unfortunately Tullahoma's offense is not built that way. Maybe Columbia will have a bunch of turnovers.

I admit I was wrong; however, Columbia did turn it over. They call it their punting game. Haha

I didn’t see that coming either. Tullahoma’s offense is improving but still such a wildcard. They took care of business though and did what they needed to. The defense is legit vs. good or bad teams imo. 

Tullahoma had a run game tonight makes everything go better.  Wildcats in charge of own destiny now.  Wildcats r definitely a different team now    They just need to take care of business now. Go cats.

It was a convincing win for the Wildcats and puts them in position to compete to host a first-round playoff game. If they win the rest of their games and Franklin Co. loses another region game...but we know Shelbyville is sitting there at Week 11, and it could be for the region title.

Everything starts with the QB, and Mason Bratcher was exceptional last night, completing 13-16 for over 200 yards and 2 TD. Sophomore RB Marvancy Johnson ran for almost 150 yards on 27 carries. He is running with a lot of confidence. All those yards were benefitted by improved offensive line play.

Tullahoma's defense held Columbia to under 300 yards total offense, and once #2 McCoy went out in the second half, with Tullahoma already leading 27-14, the Lions had no offensive answer. 

Every Chadwick kickoff was a touchback, although a field goal was blocked, and he missed one from 47 yards out (plenty of distance). 

The Wildcats host two more home games, Lawrence Co. this week and Warren Co. next week. After its open date the Cats finish with two on the road, at Spring Hill and Shelbyville.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
