Personally, Mayfield winning this thing wouldn't be that much of an upset. They have the speed and athleticism to keep up and IMO, have the better passing game and are more fundamentally sound. They'll be outsized in the trenches and will have to swarm to the ball using there quickness advantage and not make too many costly mistakes, but, I like there chances. 

I’m interested in how you say that Mayfield has the better passing game.  PT lost a lot of WRs but have basically reloaded there.   However, I have heard that Mayfield’s QB is much improved from last year.  I haven’t had a chance to see him yet this season.  

Just for the sake of randomness, PT has 21 Seniors on the roster for this game, Mayfield 13. Lot of good experience out there. 

Both teams very balanced on offense. Mayfield has 45 pass attempts and has ran the ball 37 times. 

PT has thrown it 70 times and ran it 65 times.

If I were a PT fan, I would be concerned about one thing. The new QB has thrown 3 interceptions in 2 lopsided wins. Turnovers are killers in close games.

Even as a Mayfield fan I was a little confused on us having a better passing game...Our QB has gotten better and I assume in each passing game both QBs will get better but I think Paducah Tilghman QB may have more passing touchdowns and yards...turn overs are important but as a Mayfield fan IMO our success to winning anything lies on OUR offensive line and star running back...

I could be wrong but also look it up.. As in 2 relative easy games I think our 2 starting WR either have 1 or no receiving touchdowns and its not a given they will get any tonight and could possibly be going into week 4 with no receiving touchdowns now that's a serious concern for our passing game...Don't forget about special teams also as they were good last week ie against Christian County but you gotta start some where....again I'm hanging my hat on our offensive line and star running back to get it done...

Two of those interceptions were good passes but tipped by the receiver.

Should be a HUGE Crowd!  Good luck to both teams!

I'll be paying attention from Georgetown!

Uh oh. Now you have another concern - receivers having trouble catching the ball ... 

Has the potential to be among the top few games in the Commonwealth this weekend. 
 

PT 41

Mayfield 33

Apparently someone in Mayfield made a threat on social media earlier today.

Extra police presence at Tilghman tonight for sure.

Just stupid.

I will say the Blue Tornado faithful have been rather humble about this game tonight, surprising to me from the outside looking in I have to admit.

Maybe it is because they know PT is better.

I've seen way too many mistakes for my liking so far from PT. Not saying they make them all year and I hope they don't, but the first couple weeks left a lot to be desired. 

I'm hoping for the best, but know if they play like they did the first couple games, it's gonna be everything they can handle.

Ahhh a classic pull them in real tight make them feel as though they have a legitimate chance and rip their heart out. Rivalry game too, it adds up. That is why you’re the guru.
