can they ? will they ?

ELCA is the beast that everyone wants to beat.
Wesleyan actually got two chances to do it this year, and played them close the first time, but ELCA blew them out 35-13 last week. ELCA ran for 342 yards and they held Wesleyan to only 48.

So, how do you beat ELCA ?
I am not sure that you do. However, how does any one team that is maybe not as talented as the other pull an upset ?
The answer to that is turnovers and taking advantage of every opportunity.
I feel like Wesleyan had some chances early, but had to settle for two early field goals for a 6-0 lead instead of 14-0.
ELCA is going to score points. They have done it all year and there is not reason to believe they wont this week. But Tattnall has talented players who are play makers and of they can force a few turnovers then they have a chance.
Tattnall will have to move the football consistently and in all reality, they have struggled at times against good teams. However, when they have had to score this year they have found a way.
The urgency has to start at the very beginning of the game. They cannot fall behind in this game.
Yes Tattnall is in for quite a battle, but who can possibly say that these guys are not ready for this. ELCA has been on cruise control, coasting through everyone, while Tattnall has had to battle for every yard over the last two games.

I am glad that Tattnall is still playing. They have kids on that team that deserve the chance to play college football and several of them are not loaded with offers. Are you telling me that Tattnall does not have at least five players or more that should have multiple offers ? I am not going to name them because I will forget someone, but off the top of my head I can think of 5 or 6 that can play at the d1 or d2 level.
Maybe this game against big time competition will get a few of them a few more offers.
My mind will be on the "Square" friday night, and I will never ever doubt they they will play their best game of the year and try to slay the dragon.

Mary Persons also lived to play another day with a very impressive win and who is to say that they cannnot keep winning. They will have a difficult time this week against Cartersville who is 13-0 on the year.
Macon County and Khari Lane and his 50 touchdown passes will have a home game against undefeated ECI, who has a quarterback with 32 touchdown passes. This may be the most interesting game to watch and expect it to take 45 to win the game.
Peach County at 12-1  runs into GAC who also comes in at 12-1 but Peach is at home where they are very tough to beat.
