Oak Ridge @ Farragut

I'm not sure why everyone is thinking Farragut is gonna be that great this year? They lost a lot of good players off of a 3-7 team albeit. Jackson Fain was a very good RB, he is gone. QB was pretty stout, he is gone. Like another poster stated, they have a very young team, too. It doesn't matter if they have a size advantage over us if you don't have any speed and that's something The Ridge has and always does have. I have seen a lot of Gaddis coached Oak ridge teams be outsized through the years that put a whoopin' on plenty teams that had more size then us. If you can't run it means squat. Oak Ridge takes this one, who knows what the score will be?

 

I'm pretty sure the QB returns.

I've heard from many people that their QB returns. You're the only person who has said otherwisw. I hope you're right because he almost beat us last year after we got up 21-0.

As I indicated in my previous post, Phillips returns. He was a JR last year. Edited by Former44

Fain is gone but the QB is back this year. Very young team and not as big as they have been.

    • 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.
