I like Central in this game. Bad draw for Cordova. I think it will be a low scoring affair with Central coming out on top 19-13.

You are right! We have shown to be weak, at times, defensively where they are strong offensively. They run to the ball well on defense but will give up the big play, especially in the passing game because they commit so many bodies to the run. It is going to be interesting to see if they can keep up with our offense which has improved drastically since we played Houston. If we play good run defense, this could be a very good day for us. I know they will have to score more than 19 points to beat us.

This is a game I went back and forth over when selecting it in BGIM. I eventually went with Cordova ... home field advantage and all. That Central team is tough on the run ans they play the pass well. I'm intriguied by this game.

What do you guys think the over/under will be?

Thanks... I have only seen Central play and those points you guys have given up to Pearl-Cohn the last few years always scares me. But I'm sure that is a matchup thing.  Central cannot throw the ball much at all, but I really like their size. Just a matter of time before they put it together. 

Hey, you see what happened to us last year. So, I don't think we will take them lightly. As for our defense, it depends on which team decides to show up. Some games we looked very good against the run, but other games, TERRIBLE! I think this is one of the better match-ups in the first round. Good entertaining game.

I think it will be a good game as well. Both have veteran coaches who are both in their 1st year as the HC at their respective school. I hadn't thought about that fact until just now as I was typing this post. It doesn't really matter at this stage of the season because both men have established themselves with their teams by now. Still, it is an interesting point of fact.

So fellas ... are we talking a bunch of points scored or low scoring game? I think a low scoring game favors Central. A high scoring game favors Cordova.

kwc, I believe you are correct with your assessment. A low scoring game does favor Central. When Cordova scores 21 points or more, it will favor Cordova. I have a sneaky suspicion that special teams will come in to play in this game. Playoffs

    • 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.
