Is anyone beside me looking for this to be a much better contest than the regular season game?

 

 

I do look for it to be a better game. All players that were out for MC in the first game have returned except for one. The ones that are back are still a little bruised up and will have to step up and make some plays, especially since they are all seniors.

 

I am a diehard MC fan, always have been and always will and I think that MC has the team to beat Lipscomb, there are a lot of things that will have to happen for that to happen. If Lipscomb wins -- I will guarantee you that it won't be by 35 points or more -- Take that to the bank

 

I say MC by a TD ................ Bring your A-Game that is what it will take to win this game

 

 

ps -- Whats the chance of DL renting some bleachers for a crowd like the one that will be in Nashville again this week. I was there at 6:15 PM in week 9 and all 25 seats on the visiting side were taken /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

I don't expect the mercy rule to come into play this time. However, I don't see MC having enough defense to slow DL down either. If Marshall Co. uses Hightower more on offense, they have a chance at playing keep away. I think that is what you have to do with David Lipscomb. Run the ball right at them. Their defensive line is not huge and neither are their LBs. However, the D-line and LBs run well. Pounding the ball at them for 3yds and a cloud of dust also keeps the Mustang offense off the field, which is the best way to defend Jeremy Holt and the boys.

 

I think a team later on in the playoffs (Dyer Co. or Dyersburg or Catholic) will be able to execute this strategy to put the Mustangs to the test. I am just not sure if the Tigers have enough players to execute this type of gameplan.

Hightower must be a beast that night and Cavella must be able to contribute.....and the Tigers must play error-free ball.

 

DL must suffer a meltdown like they did against Goodpasture late in the game.

 

If these things happen......MC can win.....otherwise DL moves onto the next round.

 

 

 

 

I agree bulldog..You seen it last week O'neals first game back the defense was alot more comortable knowing that he was there he had two forced fumbles i think....and Hightower still isnt 100% he's maybe about 80% but i agree if these two players arent at there best MC has no chance also GIVE HIGHTOWER THE BALL...also Joe Gentry senior ILB well have to play hard as well

What is Trevor Walker's status? Also, is Greer back from the collarbone injury? Seems like he should be getting cleared soon.

    • 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.
