The big difference in this game IMO is experience. Playoffs are different. AC has a nice first round victory, and congratulations to them. They have had a fine season. I said back after the Halls scrimmage, that if they play the way they did in the first 1/2 of that scrimmage, they win a lot of games.

 

Fulton has a lot of playoff experience. Not just players, mind you, but the coaching staff as well. Advantage Fulton. Typically, if you run the ball and play good defense, you will do well in the playoffs, unless.....you have difficulty stopping the big play. AC has done a nice job this year of defending the run. Fulton has not run the ball particularly well. Not to their usual standards. No Demarcus Stevens, Jam Fine, Rogan or experienced line. Advantage AC. I like the fullback @ AC. Good blocker, does things well. Rodgers kid is a good RB, and the OL is pretty good. AC can run the ball if the QB Longmire and the playcalling can keep Fulton off balance for at least the first 1/2. If Longmire can tuck it and run and get 5-6, and or Rogers can get 3 on 1st down, while everybody is patient, and the clock runs, AC can move the ball, and go to the Sharpe kid or #1 when it is not expected.

 

The other side of it for AC will present a few more challenges. Humphrey, Smith, Tyson, Cobb, Stokes, and Blair have all played a lot of football well into November, and December. They have been down, and come back, had leads that were lost, and hung on to win, played in all the bad weather, and have had their big guns keyed on and shut down. They make big plays. See Frenney last year. One of those names above will make a big play or two or three. The question is how will AC respond? Will they panic, and throw it all over the place, and get a pick returned, or be forced to punt and have one returned? Or, will they stick to a gameplan, be patient, let the game come to them, control the momentum, and sneak away from Broadway Street with a "W"?

Fulton has not cut the grass since week eight and today they cancelled football practice in order to water down the field making it extra muddy. They are thinking of anything they do to slow down the Mavs with all of this verbal momentum they are picking up. They might even charge admission to the AC players to see if the Mav's coach will keep some of the reserves on the bus. We're getting nervous over here.

I think that all of these predictions have been a little bit high. 16-14 may be reasonable but wouldn't it be 17-14 if he won it on a field goal? You predicting that he will miss an extra point? Kind of a confusing score...

 

Anyway back to the game. While I do not doubt that Anderson County's offense has been playing well, I must remind the Mavs that the Falcons defense is nothing like the defense they faced last week in Carter. The Falcons have had several shut outs this year and have looked pretty good of late.

 

On the other hand the falcon offense has not played very well this year. They struggled last week with rutledge in the first 3 quarters.

 

The differance to this game is whether Jonathan Blair hits his mark in the passing game. If Blair has a good game Fulton wins. If Blair has a poor game I'd be suprised to see the two teams scores added up to equal more than 21.

As I was daydreaming over breakfast a little voice whispered.... Do you think Larry Kerr will announce his retirement to the team before the game (again) and use it as a motivational tool to rally the cow herd? Out of the corner of the locker room a little nonstarting junior with a crackling voice cries, "We'll win it for you coach!" and the locker room erupts.... If they do lose, maybe he does retire in heroic fashion. However, if he wins.... players give him the gameball, he withdraws retirement statement (again), and continues coaching for the boys that need him the most.

actually, that is exactly what i was thinking! farmer misses a pat and comes back with the game winner. i thought that was pretty obvious. however, 1 td w/ extra point & 3 fgs would also equal 16. has nobody ever scored 16? ive seen it quite often. thanks anyway!

Why cut it when you can just have the players smoke it? /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

 

Just having fun with Photoman since he was obviously jabbing the Irish with the field watering, grass growing comment. No offense intended but I probably shouldn't have used the word players. I've got plenty of respect for the Falcons and I'm friends with several of their coaches.

 

Don't lose your sense of humor, it's just a game.....

 

Good luck to all our teams tonight and hope all stay injury free.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
