I will give you a couple and happy for anyone to give me an explanation. 

Illegal man down the field on a run play.

2 illegal touching on the reciever stepping out of bounds but never touching the ball when came back in. 

Caught the ball at sticks hit immedialty drove back 4 yards ball spotted 4 yards behind the sticks. I could go on but will love to hear the first to explained

 

 

Yea that officiating crew struggled all night.

One explanation I need is on a long run by Upperman, Alcoa had a flag thrown upfield. I thought to keep the run you decline the penalty? The crew added it to the end of run?

Clearly missed was two offensive pass interference penalties by the Bees. One that would have stopped a scoring drive?

I was way too far away the see any details of the onside kick?

......and continues. Passing has become a non threat. NOT because of #1. He had a great game! What's missing are the short passes and passes between the hashes. That leads to trying to run against a loaded box.....where did that balanced offense that scored 34 points on Maryville go?

Well no wonder the Game was closer than I thought ! Alcoa has one of the best QB's they've ever had this year , seriously , as far as just Passing goes I thought he was better than Randall ! Alcoa is playing on a different Level when you have to defend the Run , AND the PASS ! I guess the weather conditions dictated a more conservative game plan , but to me Walker Russell has proven himself and should be trusted under any conditions ... Why try to play with one hand tied behind your back when you have one of the best QB's in the State ! Either way Congrats to Both Alcoa and to Upperman on a Great season , and Good Luck to Alcoa next week !

I think they called unsportsman on that play. Long run by #24, but a UHS lineman got decleated 30 yards behind the play and it drew a flag. The old Crack back or Pell back block. Hines Ward perfected it. I hate they have took hitting mostly out of the game. At least we didn't have any targeting calls decide the game.

You do not have to reject the blocking penalty to get the long run to stand?

We definitely got away with offensive pass interference a few times. To have a chance to beat Alcoa in the 4th quarter shows how far our program has come in the last 7 years. Proud of both teams showing great sportsmanship and hopefully this becomes a post season rivalry for years to come.

Spot on!.....now send the GOONS more donuts!:hungry:

Ya our Boys were out of Sync from the Get Go , I think they let the Terrible field conditions get in their heads . Up to Alcoa now to bring one back this year , I'm sure you guys will get R dun !! Hopefully the Coaches will let Walker do what he does best !

Agree 100% BC. However, IMO our OL is not playing it’s best football right now. This issue started with the AE games late this season. Last night was another marginal performance. Excessive penetration and failure to maintain contact/blocks presented our backs with some unworkable situations. Speaking of backs, where was #2 in the first half? 

Of course, you have to give great rspect to the defensive scheme and the aggressiveness of Upperman’s D-Line and LB corps. They executed very well And gave our boys all they wanted. 

Bottom line: all good things begin and end with the quality of play from the front five. Our OL need to trash their early season press clippings, execute a  technique refresh, and find the early season success once enjoyed.

I hate blaming refs - if you’re good enough, bad calls won’t lose the game for you.  There’s been a  lot of speculation on the on-side kick, so here is the video footage so you can judge for yourself.  There are dozens of missed blocks, dropped passes, poor tackles and missed coverages that cause a team to lose a game.  This play didn’t lose the game for the Bees whether it was the right or wrong call - just wanted everyone to be able to see it for themselves since it’s the topic of so much conversation today

    • 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.
