Outstanding performance from ER.
Cats came out and flat controlled the second half. They did a great job clogging up the tunnels so the bullet trains couldn't shoot through them. ER went to work on the ground. Great hard-nosed running, once again, by Lucas Smith.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous that first half. Kevin Robinson and Keshaun Carpenter are, by FAR, the fastest players I've seen all year. Robinson looked like prime Carl Lewis flying down the middle of the field. I was having flashbacks of James Summers watching Carpenter just shoot by would-be tacklers. Kept thinking "Is ER going to get "Page'd"?
Fortunately, ER was able to take advantage of T'ville's achillies heel. Carter Revelle found some holes in the Bulldog secondary and threw two lovely TD passes to give the Cats some cushion.
Gotta give a shoutout to Adonye Herbert and Cade McCallum. Herbert had a huge pick in the red zone that first quarter. McCallum did a great, great job filling in for Revelle on that one series.
Thomasville is a few weapons and a pass defense away from being an extremely dangerous team. I would've liked to have seen them with their regular QB healthy. Bulldogs held their own in the trenches. Linebacker Dameyon Gathings had a magnificent performance. It seemed like Ron called his name on every other play.
