First of all, let's assume Whitley's starting QB plays and scores two more touchdowns. Maybe that runs a little more time off the clock, but Boyle's play calling would not have gone so conservative either to try and run the clock. If you were at the game you saw that Boyle was scoring with ease out of the spread, and would have easily put up 50+ points if they wanted.

Secondly, what does it matter that Boyle beat Whitley (with starters sitting) by 31 and Russel Co beat them by 29? The winner of a game is not determined by the score of games against common opponents. Boyle beat Whitley who beat Somerset who beat Danville who beat Boyle.

The point is that when two good teams face off in the playoffs, regardless of their schedule or wins/losses, absolutely anything can happen, no matter what we think should happen based on meaningless stats. And that's why we love this game so much. With that said, both teams have to take care of business this week because stranger things have happened before
