The Chiefs are 1-8 this season while the Tigers are 3-5. Both teams have had their share of ups and downs, but look forward, as they do each year, to this game. McIntosh's strengths seem to come from its passing game and passing defense, while Fayette County has a talented running game and a good sized defense. This match-up could produce one of the more exciting games in the history of the rivalry this Friday. The game will be at Tiger Stadium in Fayetteville at 7:30 p.m.
