Marietta is bigger


Fort Frye has the speed


Fort still has some guys out.

I have feeling this game comes down to last few mins.

Marietta has guys out too. Why just point out one team? This games was competitive -- no "heads and shoulders above" going on here.

Because if you've got guys out and lose the game, you can pull the "if we were at full strength..." card. It's a nice little loophole that is used quite a bit on this site (see Fort Frye/Caldwell thread). Just about as good as actually winning the game.

As for this game, Fort Frye was the better team and is still a better program. Marietta gaining the late momentum, only to blow it with a stupid penalty is par for the course.

Marietta just cannot seem to get over the hump of 500 despite playing a schedule that is loaded with much smaller schools. It's frustrating and they should be a consistent 8-2 team every year. Maybe they win 1 of the remaining games but based on history, I doubt it. Seems like they are satisfied being a below average division 3 program and that's too bad.

This is going to be one of those “was there and saw it with my own two eyes post” and also just an old man and has been thoughts. Marietta was lucky to lose this game by a touchdown. I hate to blame the refs and won’t because there was a fair mistake of legit penalties for the Cadets, but a few calls against them that lead to a TD were terrible calls, and now I will say that the lack of discipline with personal fouls for Marietta did help the cadets also.
The Cadets are a very very good team. They play about 14 kids in total and they make it a very long night for teams. You could definitely sense the Tigers frustration.
I was impressed with the Tigers. They are a much better team than in years past and I think they should be very proud. They are well coached just lack a little discipline. I think after Fort Frye got hammered by the Shamrocks fans thought they were down this year, but they are a very typical Fort Frye team, I would think maybe even a little better than in recent years. Just an old timers take on the best game around.
