If BA plays like they did last week, anything could happen

At the risk of being accused of insulting Ravenwood, but for the sake of objective analysis, this is one of the 7 games BA will lose this year if they play with the same intensity as last week. :thumb:

 

I don't think they will, so I pick the Eagles by 14.

Baylor has snuck up on some superior teams the last two years. They upset MUS two years ago compliments of a couple of hundred MUS fumbles. Last year they got to the semi's (who'd they beat?). But they have a very small line and have beat two mediocre teams this year while allowing a fair amount of scoring. I think it could get ugly.

BA 28

Baylor 7

 

Nice win on the road for BA. Still too many mistakes in the first half (which ended in a 7-7 tie), but BA was able to force/capitalize on Baylor mistakes in the second half. BA's defense looked strong, but the offense still has some improvement to make before they can make a legit run at State . . .

Baylor hung in there during the first half, but like you said, turnovers absoutely killed them in the second half. Too many mistakes to beat a team like BA.

Baylor did a good job tonight shutting down BA's passing game but had a hard time keeping BA's running game in check. When #5 entered the game, Baylor could not stop him. Why was he not a starter tonight? If BA is to be the team that everyone has said will win it all, then they need to do something about their offense in a hurry. Baylor had a few promising plays but still has some work to do. Both teams need to be ready for McCallie because boy can they score.

I agree that BA must continue to improve if they are to make a run at a gold ball. I wouldn't be too panicked about the offense however. They are, after all, averaging almost 38 points a game so far, and have a lot of depth at RB as you saw last night.

BA stuggled with a very mediocre Baylor team. BA's defense was put into many tough situations in the first half and did a good job only giving up one TD. BA's defense totally dominated in the 2nd half. The BA offense is another story. The running game is good enough to beat mediocre teams on its own. They will not be able to just run against good teams. This offense looks like the "same old " BA offense that loses in big games because it is to predictable. Their offense this year is tunring away from a vertical passing attack to a "horizontal" passing attack. 3 completions / 9 attempts for 9 yards, that will strike fear in the hearts of upcoming BA opponents. This BA defense better begin playing REAL good becuase this offense will struggle against teams putting 8 and 9 players in the box. No passing game NO gold ball this year

    • 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.
