The Indians are going to have to find some way to run the football hopefully Walden will be back in another week or so. He was out of his boot and walking/running before the game and looked alright.

 

Plus someone else has got to step up and be a second receiver to take some pressure off of Christy.

 

The defensive line actually played pretty good from the second quarter on considering its basicly 3 Sophmores and a Freshmen in there most of the time.

It wasn't as far apart as the score makes it sound, but those are the most important numbers of course. Run totals for both teams were second most important numbers. Awful first quarter for Seq, yardage was something like 100 to 10. Evenly played after that, Seq got it down inside the 15 once with four plays to get 10 yards but turned the ball over. Whitwell punched it in with 20 seconds left in the game when they really didn't have to run another play, but it was Seq's job to stop them no matter how much time was left. On a dry field, they fumbled seven times and lost three so I would have taken the knee, not a sportsmanship issue just to get out with the win.

Actually your wrong about the score being more wide open than it really was. If anything it should have been worse with seven fumbles, losing three. Some costly penalties also caused the Tigers some momentum issues that could have easily turned this game into a rout. Hats off to Burgess for hanging tough out there. Sequatchie is rebuilding but should have a bright future with all of those young kids they have playing.

Whitwell had 3 turnovers, Sequatchie had 4. One team had 8 penalties, the other 7, both for around 50 yards. Sequatchie's had gains of 10 yards three times in the first, and two were called back on their own penalties. Another time they could have been helped by a late hit penalty on Whitwell, I believe that would have put them in 4 down territory but I think there was a hold on Seq the same play and they offset. The teams exchanged fumbles or interceptions within two or three plays twice, those equaled out. Two of the fumbles they had and still recovered were close to the goalline and they scored just after that both times, anothter they had and recovered they had a 30 yard run on the next play. The other one was on their last drive and they ran nearly all the clock down and scored so that didn't hurt them either. Whitwell had a couple of 5 yard penalties when they were already in third and long and probably wouldn't have made the yardage anyway since passes were incomplete. After another penalty, they got it back on the fake punt. I didn't see penalties hurting the Tigers. And none of that means I thought the refs beat Seq or Whitwell was lucky, before anybody jumps on that, it still came down to the running game by one team and lack of by the other. I'm just saying it wasn't a tad away from a runaway.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
