After a loss of 6 on 1st down, the Cards hit on a big pass play all the way down to the Tiger 17 yard line.. 2 plays later, the Cards take it in for a score.. The PAT is good.. With 7:19 to go in 2nd quarter, the Cards now lead 14-7..

Mayfield's Connor Guthrie gets a pick 6 with 2:24 to go in 1st half, giving the Cardinals a 21-7 lead..

The Tigers picks up a big pass play all the way down to the Mayfield 30 yard line, still over 2:00 to go in the half, as the Tigers try and get something on the board before the half..

After 3 incomplete passes, the Cards have a roughing the passer call on them, giving the Tigers an automatic 1st down at the Cardinal 15 yard line..

On the ensuing play, the Cards get another int. to thwart the Tiger drive.. They make a big return to the Tiger 40, but, get called for a block in the back after the pick, bringing it back there own 25 yard line..

The officials should be ashamed in this game. Was the same in the Christian Co game pityful

With .51 secs left in the half, the Cards are threatening again with a 1st and 10 at the Tiger 12 yard line.. The Cards have all 3 time outs remaining..

After a loss of 8 on 1st down, Stinson hits Jordan Harrison on a wheel route for another Mayfield score ... PAT is good.. 28-7 Mayfield leads..

Sounds like Hopkinsville really misses Jaylen Johnson. Had to be a big loss to not have him behind center.

Halftime score - 28-7 Mayfield leads ...

Mayfield scores twice on the ground, once thru the air and once on a pick 6.. Hopkinsville scores once on a pick 6..

 

Mayfield's speed against the run has been outstanding and given the Tigers a lot of problems.. The Cardinal secondary has given up a couple of long passes, but, overall has held the Tigers to just 5 completions on 16 attempts, so, not bad.. On the offensive end, Stinson is 5 of10 with 1 TD and 2 picks, while Guthrie was 1of1 for 10 yards but also rushed for 64 yards on 4 carries..

 

On the Tiger side, the secondary has 2 picks, one taken in for there lone touchdown and has made several big breakups and there DL has been pretty solid against the run.. Offensively, there running game has been non existent, but, have found a little success through the air.. If they're going to make a comeback, they're going to have to be able to get some semblance of a run game going to open up there passing game..

Mayfield takes opening drive of 2nd half in for a score with a nice 61 yard drive.. PAT is good... 35-7 the Cards lead with about 8:00 left in 3rd qtr..

Mayfield scores again to go up 42-7 and have absolutely taken over the game on both sides of the ball.. Very impressive..
