Hope and pray Myers heals quickly. Coming off field at half Rankin said "if the freshman quarterback goes down I guess you'll see me out there". Alcoa front seven impressive as usual but secondary was outstanding as well. Smith had time to throw often but nobody to throw to. Hoping 13 gets well soon!

Agree. Looks like Shad has gone from "changing the culture" to jumping on the tuition angle before the first game is played. At least in terms of playing us.

possibly even a principal in the Blount County School System who knows?

I've learned to appreciate Spurrier more and more. Never liked losing to him but he was just doing his job. Has recruiting dropped or is it that and injuries both? Cupboard seems pretty bare this year. How much did he contribute to the facilities at SH? Nice campus; looking forward to see DB next year Good Lord willing. Always get a kick out of his comments particularly when they catch him going off the field at half.

Quite impressive!

Tough night him. Maryville won, and William Blount lost to Bearden; again. So he goes back to his happy place. 2007

I guess we'll never know about the "L". It wasn't a scoring play called back so ' not guranteeing anything. Alcoa's defense had a chance to stop us on third and long at our 34 but with the game on the line we ate most of the clock and tacked on another three points. Beat em by 3 or 4 tds or by one and their coach will offer up excuses. No matter, I enjoy them all.

The delay occurred at half around 830 so halftime was mixed in but it was an hour and a half or so give or take. Resumed shortly after ten I think.

Just read the paper. With all due respect to Coach Rankin there was a previous holding call made. And I don't guess the refs were "looking" for a personal foul when Dylan Hopkins was shoved into the brick wall ten yards out of bounds on our last drive either. Just sayin

Great comeback from Alcoa. I sincerely hope we do not see another defensive front as physical as theirs the rest of the year. That group can play with anyone. Gutsy drive by my Rebels that resulted in the last field goal. Ate most of the fourth quarter, which was likely as big or bigger than the three points it yielded. Having two programs, fans, stadiums and atmosphere in such close proximity is such a blessing. Felt this would be a struggle and it was. Glad I stayed.

I don't know two big rivalry games in the county tonight but you would never know it.

ESPN felt this game was worthy of their time three years ago, and our local paper, who has the good fortune to have the two best programs in the state in their backyard cannot find the time to put any effort whatsoever to this game during the week. The meager offering they had yesterday was simply reprinting the quotes from the game five years ago. W E A K

Possibly the best all around athlete IMO. Basketball, blazing fast ball and worked as a golf pro I believe?

So using your logic WB and Heritage should always beat them too right? But yeah if we beat them that logic will be the first words out of their Coach's mouth.

Not sure where ya'll got that kicker but job well done. That game winner last week might still be airborne.

Laid completely out once to break up a pass on third down. As I stated earlier. I think our defense will be fine and playing this game this early will be a tremendous plus for them.

Yeah he sounds just like Alcoa Basketball. Oh wait...

Brilliant! Accuse us of name calling while calling us one more or less.

Stupid is as stupid does.

The game lived up to the hype and as Coach said was closer than score indicated. I think our lead is bigger at half if we play the ball more on those third and longs but we'll learn from that. I feel good about our defense. Better technique on a couple of long balls and better tackling when Kentel Williams was in the wildcat and their total yards go way down. Very fixable and a game this early against this type of competition likely good for us. To say officials robbed us of a closer game as one poster said is ridiculous. We had 62 penalty yards to their 40 and I quit trying to keep up with the offensive holds they got away with. Great offensive play calling, and I am sure we had more we did not use. Hard to defend with that many playmakers. I hope and pray and Jordan Ervin is ok. This young man has been through a lot. Hope Blackmon is better too. Fulton is a well coached team with athletes all over the field. Lots of respect for the program and the continuity of their coaching staff is similar to ours. Hope to see their folks the first weekend in December in middle Tennessee. Go Rebels.

He's been here; a Jr this year.

Its WVLT 8; the main channel. I'm guessing the NFL game is being offered by cbs and 8 is pre-empting it. They have announced wvlt all week; pre game at 7.

He has said "case closed" like 3 or 4 times but keeps yapping. Most prosperous people don't feel the need to constantly bring it up.......... Just saying
