The schedule is definitely more difficult in totality. I don't believe the shortcomings of this year's team and last should be applied as a generalized "decline of Bowling Green", at least not yet. Bowling Green has long seemed immune to bad stretches, relatively poorer crops of talents, but that may just be where they're at. Frankly, I don't think football in this entire area is at a high point at the moment. I think South is a measure off of what we're used to, Bowling Green certainly is these past two years, even Greenwood is having a much more difficult year than they've had in recent times. All that said, the defensive struggles are striking. From what I've been told about this game, Bowling Green didn't stop CAL a single time, and would never have. Last night equaled the most points Bowling Green has ever allowed in a game - the last came in 1969. Bowling Green has allowed 49 points or more 18 times in their history. Three of those have come this season, and when you add last year's regional final, it's four times in their last seven games. Put another way? That matches the total amount of times that happened in the previous 40 YEARS. Even when Bowling Green's offense has been top notch, it has been their defense that carries them to titles, that wins the games. They pin you deep, they win field position, they choke you out. And suddenly these two years, their defense has been a problem.

As in they'll win a quarter? Surely you don't mean the game?

42-0 Paducah Tilghman at the half. Allen County-Scottsville actually got a couple first downs after the running clock began. But this has been.... pretty awful.

35-0 Paducah Tilghman after one.

Paducah Tilghman leads 28-0 just under the 5 minute mark of the first quarter.
