I am listening to the game right now and it is 42-20 Skyhawks in the 4th quarter. UTM got off to a quick start scoring early and often. It was 28-6 at halftime and despite a rally by TSU to start the 2nd half UTM just dominated this one :thumb:

I was at the game catfish, and I must say the Skyhawks are looking good this year. With Chapman and Wahlberg in the backfield this team may upset some teams this year in the OVC. I just wish the UTM coaches would realize if they pass the ball early then Chapman will run wild later in the game once the defense tires. Just glad to see the students hear finally talking some football around campus.

Can't wait til our Govs get back in the OVC so you and I can have some heated discussions on our schools beginning what will hopefully become a rivalry.

 

Great win for coach Griff and those upperclassmen who have lost their share of OVC games during their careers. I'll bet the bar is hopping up there tonight :blink: I can't wait to come up there in two weeks for Homecoming when TN Tech visits. The Skyhawks could start out 2-0 in the Valley with a trip to Jax. State looming large on the schedule.

I'm going over to west TN for Homecoming too. I've been hoping we will get to see a good game against Tech. Sounds like it could be a good one.

Two years ago when Tech went to Martin the game was great. UTM rallied from a 23-7 fourth quarter deficit and sent to ballgame to OT when they tied it at 23-23 with under a minute left. The Skyhawks scored on the first play in OT when Wahlberg took it to the house for a TD. The PAT gave Martin a 30-23 lead and Tech was sacked on their first three plays in the OT. The fourth down hail mary pass fell incomplete and UTM snapped a 43-game OVC losing skid with a 30-23 OT win. Now after three weeks this year UTM has the makings ofbeing a team that could possibly contend in the OVC. A 2-0 conference start against the two in-state teams would be a huge lift.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
