Tough game for this week. Bradley going against last year's runner up, their division, and a consistantly good team. We will get a good read on where the Bears are for this season. And probably a good test for Baylor as well.

 

Both teams coming off good outings, with Bradley probably having a bit tougher opening, but the secondary was not tested anywhere near what Baylor will bring to the table.

It should be a great game. I am glad to see good non-district teams play each other. No matter how it comes out both teams should get better from playing each other. If it is anything like last year, the teams whose defenses slow down the opposing offenses a few series probably will be the winner. Last year was a shoot out.

It's obvious Bradley has some weak spots. Not many teams haven't. Can't just go out and beef up the lineup from out of state or country. So that obviously can be a disadvantage for a Soddy or Bradley. Baylor should be considered the favorite in this one. I just don't think it will be as wide a margin as last year. Champ99, can u really judge from the polk game? Those Benton boys play as hard as any team around. Depth really hurt them. They can go toe to toe with any team around for the first half.. Baylor had a relatively easy time with Soddy who's having a couple down years due to SM being built. Bradley had the same when Walker was built. I'm going to say this will be a good exciting game to watch.

Having seen Baylor, I'll take Bradley. If there going to get them it will be this year. Not the strongest Baylor team I've seen in the last few years.

Congratulations to Baylor for a solid win. Good team there. Defense really showed a lot of mettle.

 

Bradley never really got on track, and made way too many mistakes to be a real threat in this game; some of their own making, some because of good play by Baylor.

 

Coach Floyd will have lot's of film study to get things corrected.

Teams with speed will give Bradley trouble this year they can't match up with them and it looks like a little of the 90s is creeping back in that spells trouble for the Bears. Polk has almost no speed and the rest of the good teams Bradley has scheduled are loaded with speed. Bradley needs to find a huge fullback and control the clock. Copeland is good but can't do it by his self teams are going to load up and come right after him. Bradley's line is more suited for smash mouth but they need a different scheme. Part of good coaching is adjusting to what you have or don't have.

      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.
