Given the Tigers' advantage in MaxPreps' West Virginia football rankings (they are ranked fourth, while the Cougars are ranked 46th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Here we (could) go again.. After making a second landfall in South Carolina, Debby weakened to a tropical storm and now located close to Charlotte, North Carolina. Despite the downgrade, the storm remains a threat, bringing heavy rainfall and tornado watches across North Carolina. Tragically, Debby has claimed six lives, including two in Georgia. Although Debby will soon lose its tropical characteristics, the risk of flooding and tornadoes persists as it moves into other states.
