I believe it was from Kentucky Prep Gridiron.  I’m not familiar with them but he included some decent commentary. 

Just curious. I don’t see PT losing under any circumstance but who knows. That’s why they play the game and that’s why we love to watch.

Only 41-16 last year which if I remember correctly it was a running clock at half 41-0 and McCracken scored a couple in the 2H. A lot of new guys on the field for this Tilghman bunch, I’m sure Coach Thompson will want them to get as many reps as possible to build some cohesion as an overall team, and with that the gap widens a bit.

McCracken does have the upper hand in in-game experience with a 3 year starter at QB and several players returning on both sides of the ball. I still think Tilghman is more athletic and better on the Oline but I it will be closer than people expect.  It will take a few games for Paducah's offense to start to gel.

PT-35

McCracken-21

We were having a conversation about how hot it normally is for this game. I agreed, but wanted to check and see if it really was or maybe we just misremember at times. I do remember a couple of the games where it was actually comfortable. The following are the actual highs from the National Weather Service office in Paducah. Of course as all us Kentuckians know, the temperature is sometimes only a small part as we deal with crazy high dewpoints and humidity quite often in the summer. Obviously that isn't factored in here.

August 22,2015  91

August 19, 2017  95

August 18, 2018  88

August 24,2019  81

August 21, 2021  88

August 20,2022  89

August 19, 2023  86

August 24,2024  93

Today's projected high  88

 

So the average high for the 11 games played so far is 88.8 degrees. Actual temperature at kickoff would likely be a few degrees lower.  With the lower relative dewpoints we are dealing with as of today, this will have to be one of the more comfortable games to be at. Anything surprising here? I feel like the heat index for a lot of these would have been mid 90's to 100 still at game time. I wish it had those reports to view as well.

We are lucky in NKY tonight.  We are roughly running middle 70s during the games with a projected high of only 80.

PT receives first.

These ignorant onside kicks by PT just drive you insane. Did it all last season as well.
