10/6 Warren Co @ Tullahoma

[PercyPeabody]

I know many don't believe this will be much of a contest but wanted to start a thread so updates could be provided for any that may be attending games of more interest. 

Good luck to the TulCats.

These two teams haven't played since 2014, and the Wildcats have won the last five. Last win for Warren Co. was in 2009.

After opening with a win over DeKalb Co., Warren Co. has lost six in a row by an average score of 44-8. Tullahoma has won three in a row by an average score of 38-11.

This rain should soften the field a little. I expect Tullahoma to get a running clock in the third quarter and clear the bench.

The Wildcats have an open date next week before traveling to Spring Hill.

Warren County is in a tough region, and has had several key injuries. They were playing a freshmen quarterback in the last few games they have  played,  Tullahoma should win big, but these games have the potential where teams don't play there best game.

Kinda wish this was being played in Mcminnville. I remember something about fried baloney at the concession stand.  I do hope the damp conditions don't mess the W.C. Dub "Cooper" field up as we need it to host some playoff games in 4 weeks.  The pioneer bowl has a great atmosphere for a game though. I know their coach is pushing for a new field at the high school off the bypass.

Prophetic: This rain should soften the field a little. I expect Tullahoma to get a running clock in the third quarter and clear the bench.

The fast clock started early in the third quarter when Tullahoma went up 37-0, which was the final score.

Actually, the running clock started on the opening kickoff of the second half with Tullahoma leading 30-0. That is the new margin for the mercy clock - 30 point lead.

The Wildcats held Warren County to MINUS -24 yards total offense. The Pioneers ran 26 plays and half of them were tackles for loss by the THS defense. The visitors didn't cross the 50-yard line until the fourth quarter.

Tullahoma's offensive stats are not that eye-catching because they had a short field to work with almost every drive. The Cats didn't punt, and Grant Chadwick made a 46-yard field goal.

The Cats have a defined path to a region championship, and a great opportunity to host a first-round playoff game.

Spring Hill has all the makings of a trap game. I'm not saying it is, but the characteristics are there. (coming off an open date, Shelbyville looming, fall break, on the road). I expect the Wildcats to be up to the challenge.

I forgot about the rule change. Thank you for the clarification.

 

• NFHS Football Rule 3-1-2 (Mercy Rule); Beginning in the second half, if the point differential is 30 points or more, a continuous clock will be used. The clock will only stop for charged time-outs, injuries, and scores. The try will always be an un-timed down. The clock shall start when the ball is kicked on the kickoff. If the point differential goes below 30 points, go back to regular timing rules
