Tullahoma @ Franklin Co

The Rebels have produced only 6 points in 3 contests. Is there any possibility of an upset of Tullahoma at home? 

Not the same Rebel team , that came into Tullahoma last year and got the victory, lost a lot of players. I look for Franklin County to play a lot better, but I think  Tullahoma's offense is much better than last year, and the defense , which has been suspect at times, is improving week to week.

Both teams are worse than last year's versions. If Tullahoma loses, heads should roll.

You have to admit that Tullahoma is inconsistent. They could easily be 2-1 but on the other hand are fortunate to not be 0-3. Meanwhile Franklin Co is just plain awful. Both teams have digressed from last year. No excuses for Tullahoma to drop this contest.

Your right, The inconsistency is because they have all new offensive line, and the defense lost a lot players from last year. The offense is better than last year. Mason Bratcher, last year QB, decided to play baseball only. Jr. Lucas Reed, is much better QB has a  good arm ,and can run as well .All the teams Tullahoma has faced so far are good teams, and all three are good enough to make the playoffs. Coffee County is much improved, there only problem there in the Rutherford Co. schools region. It would be no surprise to me , to see them make the playoffs. Coffee County should have beat Shelbyville.

Tullahoma is shaky on run D. If they can improve there, they can compete for the region title. If not, they probably finish 3rd and maybe 4th.

I'm not sure that the offense is that much better but with the region so weak, there's really no excuse for Tullahoma to not win it. I agree that their first 3 opponents are by far their toughest competition. I think Lincoln Co could cause an issue if the starting QB comes back in time and then it should be smooth sailing until Shelbyville in the finale. It's region title or bust.

I agree the run D is going to continue to be an issue moving forward. I'm curious tho of which three teams in the region that you think will finish ahead of them possibly?

Shelbyville has a great rush attack, so unless the Cats fix the run D, that’s a loss. I believe Columbia could be a problem as well. Those should be the only true contests. Lincoln Co. is the only other team that may trip them up but I doubt it. As things are now, I’d say Tullahoma is 3rd behind Shelbyville and Columbia.

    • Gordy lost a RB and was playing their second game without him. The kids they had on the field had two weeks to practice and gameplan without him. Obviously, his backup is capable. We lost, not a RB, but one the most productive RBs in the entire state on the first play of the 3rd Q. After the coaches made halftime adjustments which I assume included a lot of #13 on offense and defense. We also lost our leading receiver and best defensive player on last play of 2nd Q. Both of their backups weren't available Friday. The 3rd RB went out after two carries. Our 4th RB plays every snap on defense and special teams and was exhausted by the 4Q. More backups than starters were on the defense in the 4Q when the wheels came off.     Again sounds like a guy who watched last quarter of the game. The stream failed in the first half so maybe that's what happened. Plays you missed, our guys did multiple shifts and motion on punt team and hit an uncovered guy downfield for a huge conversion. Former DC at Oakland was completely fooled. Facing a 4th and 12 our guys perfectly executed a hook and lateral for a 35 yard TD and took the lead in the 2ndQ. No way either of those happens last season.  Gordy has been there before. 2nd or 3rd round playoff games are not an expectation but has been a reality there. Their coach is in his 3rd season with a much more storied football program. The only difference in the teams going into the 4Q was a botched XP. It was 28-19, a one TD difference, with 6 minutes to play.  If #13 and 0 are healthy for 4 quarters, we win this game. Go back and watch the 2023 game, nothing was like the year before. Our line isn't big or physical we will get out-muscled by big physical teams. That's physics not coaching. We don't have the DBs to cover anyone, so coach has a choice protect your DBs and get gashed by the run or play the run and watch your DBs chase 5 yards behind wide open receivers.    Which QB are you going with? This offense needs a guy who is either a good runner or a great reader or an accurate passer. All three would be ideal. Neither has separated himself from the other. It's been a wash when they're in there. They both need to be on the field on offense and defense.
