Wishing for what could have been. Mathers is a great back from what I have seen. UT may have beat FL. if the top receiver had not gotten hurt early in the game. My point is the game is played with who you have at the time of the game.
As for your other statement Maryville would not fare so well in Middle TN., that may be true. However looking at who they have beaten and the records of those schools may indicate different. What I cannot disagree with anybody about is the power of the Murfreesboro area district. Top to bottom, best in state!
All that said, let me add, Go MJ! Good to see a fresh face making a splash.
