BA v Baylor

Recommended Posts

The past is prelude to the future. Look at his stats in both the McC and BA games. He's playing both ways. Against Franklin County, Central, etc it doesn't matter. Against BA and McC, he carried 2 and 3 tacklers every running play and then played good defense. McC adjusted for him and he tired. He's an excellent back - at least the second best in Chatt.

Second to who?

You asked a great question that was actually asked earlier and never answered. Cooper is 2nd to none in Chattanooga. He may second in yards but anyone that knows football and has seen his speed, size, and ability knows what UT and Fulmer knows .... he is 2nd to none in Chattanooga. For the record he is the 5th rated fullback in the nation listed on Unapproved Website.

If my stats are correct, every original member of the Super 7 (i.e., excluding Briarcrest) has beaten every other league member at least once in Division II play since 1997 except for one: Baylor. The only team they haven't beaten? Brentwood Academy.

 

Of course, this is just a stat, and history means nothing tomorrow night, but it is a testament to the parity over ten years in the league.

 

Baylor seems to peaking (and I was really impressed with Massey at QB a couple of weeks ago), but BA is rested and may be on a mission. Should be a good one nevertheless.

Your opinion is noted..but not necessary correct. I will not be so arrogant as you to go there. But the fact is BJ Coleman is a tremendous QB with tons of skills. UT sees it and I wish him well as a UT fan myself. Fact is Kevin Cooper is a temendous fullback with tons of skills as well. UT is see it and so does Unapproved Website who ranks him 5th at his position in the country. I don't think I saw a similar ranking for BJ at his position. QB's usually get the attention on awards and that may be the case again this year. But to say Cooper is 2nd to Coleman is absurd. I will not even say Coleman is 2nd to Cooper. They are both incredibly talented.

You mean "Second to whom? Coleman of course.

This is like fishing. I throw out the line and a Red Raider bites - more like shooting fish in a barrel.

I think BA has the better team and home field doesn't hurt. My concern for BA (or my hope if I were a Baylor backer) is that the BA team may be tight. They are "the favorite" and there is a lot of pressure to win. Too many have claimed that "this is the year" that "number 10 is in the bag" and that "a rematch with McCallie is inevitable". If they come out tight and worried about the expectations, a very good Baylor team will beat them. They need to relax and play . . .

 

Should be a good one either way!

 

Go Eagles!

All this talk about cooper has made me think. What was the name of the runningback before him. I played at MUS and remember that he was extremely good but never really played to his full potential. What ever became of him?

 

As an Owl I have to pull for Massey and Burr. Go Baylor!

You're thinking of Courtney Braswell. He was also very good and very big.

    • 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.
