Last years game had more hype and from the TN fans view was a major eye opener but that game appears to have left a hangover as there is so little chatter from the Orange state.   This time last year there were about 100 pages of post in the thread.  Is this a sign of concern among our friends to our Southern border?  

Last year's thread was started in January.  There is always cause for concern when we are playing the Cardinals

You said that last year. This game might not be 41-0. But UC aint gonna win.

We will see. If your defense is struggling with the run like one of your posters has already said then I like our chances. It's like a trade off.

We struggle with the pass, which is nothing new here and if you struggle with the run ...... I like our chances. The thing is that we won't know until Friday night. I agree that it won't be like it was last year. I also think that some people will be surprised

Hard to tell if Mayfield struggled with the run in a controlled scrimmage. But it wasnt hard to tell that the passing game will be good. Mayfield by the 3 plus td's.

I think the dynamics of MF running game is different this year... more muscle to go with the speed. There's a soph RB who is hard to stop coming on and I'm eager to see what he does at this level.

Looking at last year's stats: (roughly) 400 total yards for MF and 300 for UC. With numbers that close, I think the redzone MF defense is to be commended for keeping the UC runners out of the endzone... most of those guys are back.  MF def backfield will be just as tough as last year but we'll see if speed is there too.

UC will have to contend with 2 hardnosed RB's and 1-2 speedsters on the MF offense (6 deep at some skilled positions). THEN we get to the passing game: Jayden Stinson is on another level from last year. I predict 400 yards of passing offense alone.

SWO you coming to the infield to visit before the game?

    • 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.
