Tusculum 54 WCU 30

Just a few game statistics that nobody on the message boards are talking about from the Tusculum game:

First Downs....................TC 19......WCU 27

Net yards Rushing.............TC 42......WCU 82

Net yards Passing..........TC 410.....WCU 396

Total Offense Yards.......TC 453.....WCU 476

Time of Possession.......TC 27:31...WCU 32:29

Another thing that I don't understand is the official attendence number. The 4,471 officially listed as the attendence just can not be correct. While the west stands were definately short on people, the larger east stands were a good 70 to 80% full, and that would certainly account for more than 4500 bodies listed on the offical gamr statistics.

While this was one of Western's more (if not the) most embarrising loss, the real test of these young men will come next Saturday, in Boiling Springs, NC. How will the react to this loss. Will they return to the old ways of just showing up and going through the motions, or do they stiffen up their spines an heap a little revenge football on G-W for not only Saturday's loss, but also the losses of the last two games played against the Runnin' Bulldogs?
