Tyler is actually a DT. Jonavan Henry is at the other end and had a hack of a game on Friday. 99 will be backed up by Evans and Revels. Evans forced and recovered a fumble against Middlesboro. Both got a lot of snaps on defense. I just hate that a senior did not have the mental toughness to walk away. He will wind up missing more than one game.

 

I could have sworn he was at the End position. Hopefully it wont be as bad as I thought then. Thanks for the info

Who thinks that it won't be close? :ph34r:

 

alcoafan72 did you not read the very first post??? I have also seen other posts on another thread. Personally I would love to see the Tornadoes win by 2 or 3 td's. Just think the Rebels will be very tough at home. They have only lost 2 games at home in the last decade and those 2 were in 2000. This game will probably go into the 4th quarter undecided.

I have been enjoying this game for over 50 years and I have been disappointed lots of times. It is just a ballgme and whatever happens will be forever. Please allow the young people who have the privilege to play to have fun. As some people have said before, 10,000,000 people in Asia don't know and don't care what happens.

Looking forward to hosting the best game of the week, maybe the year! Bring those cowbells, milk jugs, and come on over to Shields Stadium on Thursday night. The best thing about this game other than the bragging rights is that each team will come away with where they need to improve and a pretty good idea of how they will fare in their region and playoffs. Last year, Alcoa obviously showed Maryville that they needed to improve offensive and defensive line play....Maryville became much stronger in both areas after week 1. Sorry Alcoa neighbors, I will be cheering for the Red and Black on Thursday, I will be pulling for the Tornados the rest of the way through state. Hope everyone plays a great game and stays healthy.

From one rival to the other, i couldn't have said it better myself.

Ditto! :flower:

 

 

BTW...I failed to mention in my earlier post that I hope Alcoa comes away from this contest with a lot more knowledge of needed improvement than Maryville...lol. I'm guessing both teams will learn a lot about themselves on Thursday night.

 

 

Just curious...where is the flaw in the Alcoa machine this year? Any spectulation? I know you did not get any indications last week but are there still holes to fill?

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
