I done a lot of thinking about this one and here is what I come up with. Fulton did lose a lot of starters last year but they also beat the living crap out of almost every team they played last year and kelp on pouring the heat on with the second and third teams which will be the starters this year. One big key is that they have the speed to burn which Maryville doesn't have. One other key to this game for Fulton is that Maryville has normally started off slow at the very first of the year and progressively gets better as the season goes on. The 2013 team would be one of the exceptions to this but in the past this has always been the norm. Maryville loses almost the entire offensive line which has to be rebuilt including a star tight end. This alone with the fact that there will be some growing pains at QB which most people are going to have to see and deal with this season that are expecting big things and big expectations on kids from hearsay from people that don't know beans about football period but loves to talk tall tails.. Maryville loses two key defensive linemen that were the big reasons they won both the Oakland and Championship game no doubt. When Maryville lost Koons during the championship game the other team ran through them like a knife through hot butter until he returned .Even though most of the defense returns which will be good for the Rebels Jackson and Koons will be very hard to replace for a while. As I said earlier the Rebels have been known to start out slow and for Fulton to have any chance at all to win would be very early in the season playing Maryville on TV and taking advantage of all the long commercial timeouts which would even out the Rebels advantage of depth the same way Alcoa won two years in a row. Having seen this situation before with Alcoa in the past I believe this may be a much better game than some are thinking.

Koons and Jackson were special players and it will be hard to fill their roles on the D-Line but I'm sure Gaylor and crew will coach up the young Rebels to step in to that great Maryville defense. And as far as QB goes, the young sophomore stepped in for Vaught and took the Rebels all the way to a State Championship. I heard remarkable things about the Hopkins kid as well. I think Coach Hunt is set at QB for several seasons to come.

Like I said in my post the people that are carrying these expectations are people that have HEARD not seen but HEARD. Lot of pressure on a sophomore that doesn't have any varsity experience. He will come along just great in time but we have to take his name off the ballot for NFL Hall of Fame at least until he is eligible. The other kid has highs and lows and is a very gifted athlete and got some real good experience playing this year but remember the teams he started against couldn't win their way out of a wet paper bag. The highs are always looked on but the lows such as the interception against Oakland almost changed that game around and you didn't see him in again after that. Not taking anything away but the line will be going through a big rebuilding process with new people at QB.

Well I guess I am guilty of going by what I've heard and the few times I saw Maryville on tv. But it seems like every year that Maryville has a QB graduate Coach Quarles and Coach Hunt have the young bucks ready.

One of the good things that in the past few years Maryville has had a senior QB with lots of playing experience from the past year. This year it will be a junior with experience from the year before. You have to remember Maryville runs a very fast pace offense like Oregon and it takes time to learn that system for a young kid. some of the lows I mentioned earlier regarding the junior was not being on the same page as the rest of the team which you would expect with someone that was just thrown in the game but overall they did do very well considering. My only concern about that this year will be how long it will take the new line to jell and how will these QB's react if it takes a while.

    • 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.
