Again Friday, Wartburg held their own against Rockwood for awhile. The first half was actually a good ballgame. The dogs shot themselves in the foot with two fumbles in the second half-both of which led to touchdowns. I think the Wartburg running backs need to practice holding on to the ball better. Overall, the defense played a very good first half, but just got wore down later on by Rockwood's strong running attack. I know "if" is a mighty big word, but if the dogs play defense against Harriman and get some offense going, this could be a decent ballgame.

25-14 Harriman. Wartburg's defense got wore down. They've worn down in the second half every game this year. I think maybe they should condition some more. In the second half Scottie Phillips was chased all over the backfield. I don't know what happened there. Harriman was in better shape and it showed in the 2nd half. The first half was a good ball game though. It's just too bad that Wartburg can't just play the first half, and then play the second half on Saturday. They'd stand a better chance. Wartburg did make big plays tonight that aren't usually made. They played well, they just ran out of gas in the second half, which is usually the story.

BOTH!

 

 

Actually, if you really look at it, Harriman is almost three times smaller than Kingston. And Kingston really isn't all that good. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Now if they would stand up and play someone almost three times LARGER than they are, they would get their butts kicked, just as Harriman did. It's only my opinion, but like I've said, I believe it to be a good one, and I will stick by my opinion. It's just a rival game, and it draws a lot of money. I would think it wise for Harriman to make a new rival, seeing as how Kingston is much larger, but I would find it honorable for Kingston to stop bragging about something that is more than likely going to happen. It's not a fair match.

 

By the way, might I remind you, Harriman- 25, Wartburg- 14. And that was a fair match.

I do agree about the size issues, but only to a certain extent. When those big rivalry games are played, you can throw out school size, talent levels, and records. It,s always a completly different atmosphere. I do agree though, that Kingston shouldn't rub it in so much.

I think you're absolutely right. I didn't see the game, but from what I've heard the dogs ONCE AGAIN just ran out of gas. That has to be a conditioning issue-it seems EVERY team Wartburg plays are in much better shape. Sorry, but that's the coaches fault-PERIOD!! I honestly believe that Wartburg is playing hard and giving good effort week in and week out. I also believe that there needs to be a coaching change in the Burg sooner than later. That's only my opinion, but like another poster said, those kids deserve better!

    • 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.
