MBA is certainly capable of scoring 34 points, but they will have to improve to do it. They could have been up 28-0 in the 1st half at Hillsboro except for turnovers and penalties. I'm not sure I want to be the team on the receiving end of it when MBA puts it all together, but to this point they really haven't.

 

There are a couple of things bothering me about MBA at this point. They've squandered a lot of opportunities so far: a fumble into the end zone against Moeller, an interception in the end zone against Hillsboro, fumbles deep in their own end against both Baylor and Hillsboro. And the punting game is scary in the extreme. Lassing punts well and has done an excellent job with the two bad snaps, but at some point, you know good luck runs out. Two bad snaps is inexcusable in 4 seasons; in 4 games it borders on disastrous. They'll obviously have to punt against BA, Ensworth, and Ryan. Those would be really nightmarish times to have a bad snap.

 

On the up side, they have managed to win at Baylor when they weren't playing very well (a hallmark of a good team), and they held on against Hillsboro when there were opportunities to fold. Still, it would be nice to see these issues get ironed out this week before the big stretch starts.

They have the same long snapper they had last year, I don't remember any problems last year. The fumbles are a problem that need to be fixed. Part of the problem is that it has been a different player in every game. They fix one and then another one fumbles. Hopefully the fumbles are now out of their system. The penalties are as much a result of aggressive play. I thought the Hillsboro game was poorly officiated and it hurt both teams. William Tanner was called for a late hit that caused a loss of down as well. The coaches said that William was playing the way they coached him to play, the official thought it was late but the coaches thought it was fine. We had a TD called back because a wide receiver covered up the tight end. They will fix that.

 

The Hillsboro game had kind of a wierd ebb and flow. The INT in the first drive really hurt us. The blocked field goal in a perverse way hurt us too. Hillsboro drove the ball well to get into positon to try that field goal, we blocked it and returned it for a TD, then had to kick the ball right back to them. Our defense didn't get a breather and the offense was kept on the sideline. We forced a punt but got the ball deep in our own end and fumbled on third down giving Hillsboro the ball deep in our end. Our coaches insist that they charted 4 time outs in the 1st half for Hillsboro, the last one being right before the play they scored on. If that was the 4th time out and they hadn't gotten it there is a good chance time would have run out before they could have scored. After half time we kicked off to them. So in the span of about 45 minutes I guess in real time our offense ran 3 plays. When they came back in the 2nd half they were out of sinc and couldn't keep the defense off the field.

I agree with you about the ebb and flow of the game, or lack thereof. Likewise, i thought the officiating was poor. I could have handled Tanner's late hit penalty a little better if they had called the Hillsboro player for wrapping up the MBA punt reciever on the fair catch. Regarding Tanner's call, I also could have handled that one if the game had been chippy and getting out of hand. My view was restricted (a computer screen), but it seemed to me that it was a hard hitting but clean game, with an air of mutual respect on both sides.

 

In my younger days, I was a center. I cannot abide bad snaps ever.

come on be logical. MBA could have and i think should have lost that game. MBA has a stout D but there Offence seems to be pretty poor. They had one TD and scored off a blocked FG. not saying to much about their O. Hillsburo beat themselves esspecially with injuries ( crutcher and corey jordan)

hahah i actually watched that. Tanner tried to block number 6 of hillsburo and ended up getting drilled in the mouth and pretty much knocked on his butt so i think he felt a little embarrassed and took his anger out on number 6, five seconds after the play was over haha. But i have to give tanner credit for running a superb stop and go to give MBA a key TD. i love seeing those two teams go at it.

 

good luck to the BIG RED vs JP2....should be a good game unless MBA fixes their small problems

Give the Big Red some credit. Good teams that know how to win, win those games.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
