Alright it's week 2 and MLK is coming to town. I don't know anything about this team other than they are from Memphis. My Tornadoes are in need of a good win. I felt like we moved the ball well last week against a strong LC defense grinding out over 380 yards on the ground but stalled out in the red zone on too many drives. We must get that corrected and we have to shore up the defense on the corners. If we can make those improvements I believe we can win this game convincingly.

What say you?

Okay. Thanks. Im hoping for a good game but my guys need a win so I ain't complaining.

Swo, UC will name the score in this game. I know last weeks game was disappointing but UC did have some positives on offense. UC moved the ball well between the 20's. UC just needs to clean a few things up on offense and that side of the ball will be fine. UC does need to find some type of passing game. The UC defense needs alot of work. LC got outside whenever than choose to. I know UC has alot of pride and will bounce back and have a solid season.

They don’t pass never have.  From what I’ve been told they don’t practice defense much.  That may or may not be true.  I do know if their offense clicks it’s their defense. They try to limit the offensive possessions of whoever they are playing.

Oh yes! We practice defense. Every week there is a day dedicated to defense , a day dedicated to offense and then the coaches decide which one needs more work. On Wednesday they work on specific things they need to sharpen up. Of course Thursday is Special Teams. Yes, we do work on defense.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
