This game sets up for a broad spectrum of possibilities. Tilghman is 0-3 against the Tigers and come in as the favorite (by most thinking) for the first time in this 4 year span. With Caldwell moving back to 2A next year the Blue Tornado will have extra incentive for payback.

If Caldwell County plays like they did against Henderson County this game is going to be a real good one. Their run defense has been good most of the year and will need to be at its best against run dominate Tilghman. The other key for the Tigers is to have limited INTs maybe zero as the Blue Tornado have a knack for taking those things to the house. If Caldwell County plays like they did against Hopkinsville (4 red zone turnovers) it could get ugly. Tilghman can take a tight game and turn it into a blowout really fast if gifted the ball.

Tilghman has been rather consistent on both sides of the ball and their pass defense might be the biggest question. They tend to play 7 front aggressive and 4 back soft, giving the middle, and wait for mistakes. This looks like a classic game of run vs. pass or who's defense can be the better against the other's strength. Both teams have play makers on special teams capable of putting points on the board. One significant difference is the kicking game...advantage Tilghman due to the Tigers' struggles.
