Let's get it started. Surging Bucs against 0 and 1 Pats. How do you see it?

 

GO BIG RED

I think there are still some questions for Beech and after Friday, perhaps a couple for Henry County. It's always so hard to tell this early in, so many variables.

 

I really believe this one's a "pic em"... With a slight edge to Beech.

Another game in which I haven't the slightest clue of what to expect. I say that because I know nothing about this Beech team besides the Vanzant kids. Wont be shocked if Henry County bounces back in a big way, also wont be shocked if we're sitting at 0-2 next Saturday. Huge game for the Patriots.

Beech proved it has the depth needed to be successful. Offensive line looked good. Running backs committee was real good. Beech D looked good. (might not have to outscore teams this season). Special teams was good minus two xtra points. Kickoff return was awesome.  

Beech will have a great season

It was a great kickoff return, too bad the kid got hurt later in the game. Hope he can recover but I bet his football days are over. Not really sure about Beech's defense either. SC is not an offensive juggernaut this year. However, the Beech running game is very good with a host of good fast backs. The Napper kid along with the VanZant brothers and the QB all can run the ball. Henry Co will have their hands full this week.

I see 2 concerns for HC, the O line and special teams. Beech certainly will not come with another back to run 400+ yards and the D is stout this year. If the O line can make the necessary adjustments it should not be a contest, but if we resemble last week I believe we will be congratulating Beech on a tough fought W. It could go either way.

Outside of a couple plays, our defense played really well Friday night considering how much they were on the field. They also had a good preseason (aside from the MBA scrimmage). I'm not overly worried about that unit.

 

It's the offense that really needs to have a bounce back game. We certainly have the horses, but we gotta open the stable. Our O line struggled with Liberty's big and athletic front 7. And we couldn't do enough in the passing game to keep them from stacking the box.

 

We're gonna have to correct some things if we want to avoid our first set of back to back losses since 2006. I remain optimistic and I'm hoping for an electric atmosphere for our home opener.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
