After watching the Oakland game earlier today, here are some keys:

 

1. Zone play for BHS scares me to death. MHS has to keep gap responsibility. RBs and QB are really good runners.

2. If BHS has to throw it, it will be over. The QB is not very effective with his arm.

3. NO WAY BHS can play defense against us like that. We will throw for as many yards as GQ wants to.

4. #11 is your best defensive player.

5. With some success in the running game for MHS, the play action will torch the Blaze.

6. This should be a GREAT game. Who can capitalize on opportunities will be the difference in this one.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

good observations for the Oakland game...but the problem is...this was the Oakland game which was a wet and sloppy game in which it was nearly impossible to throw the ball...our QB can throw...over 1300 yards with 14 td's and only about 5 int's...he is a tad raw but has a rocket arm (why duke and ohio state have offered him at QB) and WR's that can fly...

After reading the comments, here's my prediction: Maryville 42 Blackman 21. M's offense has a good balance of pass (QB Garrett, WR Carroll) and run (Prevo, Burgess, Nickerson, Porter) effectiveness. Their two defensive powerhouses Jackson and TD Blackmon are a big part of the defense. The O line is pretty strong with Drew Curtis at center. John Garrett has many many options for receivers in Prevo, Miller, Tillery, Carroll, and Brock just to name a few. B's running game is quite a bit stronger than the pass, and I think if M can halfway-decently shut down their run game, they'll have to pass, which is their weak spot if they have one. IF, and IF B is FORCED to pass, Maryville wins easily. But I think M will have a tough time totally shutting down the run. I expect the first half to be pretty close, but the Rebels will pull ahead and prevail in the second half. The state championship game is with no doubt at Maryville in this game. M and B could easily take care if White Station and Hendersonville by at least 30 points.

Gameday. Turkey hangover. Leftover dressing and giblet gravy. Plenty of pie remains. Warmer day. State football semis tonight.

 

Very good team traveling to murvil today, and a very good team will be waiting for them. BHS will take the field with the confidence that most other teams don't. It should be a slugfest with every possession. Any turnovers will be huge. Have gone back and forth on predictions, but...

 

MURVIL IS THE WINNING TEAM! BHS IS THE LOSING TEAM! BIG NON-CALLS BY THE REFEREES! 31-21 IS THE SCOREBOARD!

 

Safe travels for all the blaze. I hope all the kids stay healthy during the game. :thumb:

    • 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.
