4A #7 Hopkinsville at 2A #5 Murray

The Tigers are in a spot they haven't been in since 2004 - undefeated after three games. Last week they had a little difficulty early against Fort Campbell, trailing 7-0 early. They just scored 50 straight en route to their 50-7 win. This week, they face the first of two straight tough tests, a matchup with 2A Murray, our 5th ranked team in that class. Murray started the season strong, but came crashing down in a 39-14 loss to much larger Graves County. They step up in class again - does it end any better?

Murray is a good team, but I just think Hopkinsville is playing better ball right now. But I think Murray will be ready to play, but is that enough? I don't think so.

Having seen both teams play it should be a good game, if Murray is healthy. Hopkinsville has lots of speed at the skilled position but seems a little weak in the trenches where Murray is much stronger. I like Murray in a close one. I will say 34-28. Again that is only if Murray can get back to health.
