I felt like Gibson Co was gonna win this game! They were more physical when I saw both teams earlier! I like the wagons if they keep the O going! I’m kinda scratching my head as to why everyone is so down on this group? I honestly think GC has good things going! And hey I’m just an outsider

I told you earlier in the week that our offense was fine... I don’t look so dumb after all...

UC had 500 yards of offense with 25 first downs and Gibson had 350 yards of offense with 13 first downs. UC beat themselves tonight with the fumbles. Gibson County is a good football team but we handed this one to them on a platter. 

I asked earlier … I heard we had 11 fumbles … How many did we lose ? … How many picked up or picked off and ran in for TDs? … How many short fields GC have to drive? … 76 yard TD pass called back on first play from scrimmage …  How many penalties in all? …  35 points … 500 yards offense … 25 first downs … No way you lose that game …

I can tell you that UC didn’t have as many penalty yards as GC.  I believe it was 6 turnovers.  3 returned for touchdown.  Which resulted in GC only having 350 yards of offense.  But the fourth quarter GC ran the ball right down UC throat to finish the game.

I had this game being a coin toss.. didn’t expect 61 from the pioneers, turnovers are apart of the game. Either way you have to give Coach Finley props from turning a program no coach in west tn would wanna touch to beating UC and Peabody in two different seasons 

Absolutely 100%!!!

Just a few years ago, Gibson County was losing this same game 61-0...

I agree.  UC has always ran the double wing to perfection.  They were not in sync tonight. Take away the turnovers and you have  a much closer game. We had trouble stopping the run.  I would not count UC out.  They are like fine wine they only get better as time and the season goes on.  Great program and classy bunch of people. Good luck the rest to the season to the Tornadoes the rest of the season.

I'm not taking away from the Pioneers. It was a good win for our kids but we need to move on to next week.

UC had 11 fumbles by my count we lost 8 I believe the majority coming around midfield. Most were completely unforced. You just can’t do that and expect to win ballgames. Gibson turned those extra possessions into at least 42 points. Credit to them for capitalizing on those chances. It’s funny because last week IC didn’t have a single fumble and I thought we had gotten those kinks worked out. Congratulations to Gibson County on the win. Hope we run into you guys again down the road.

Win the turnover battle and you win the game the majority of the time.   The biggest takeaway I have from this game is the culture change at GC.  In the past when UC scores 21 unanswered and went up 21-14 the game was over.  Last night GC took the next possession and went down and scored. Got a stop and scored 21 unanswered themselves.    That’s a sign of a program making steps.

12 fumbles lost 7. 3 of those 7 were scoop and scores. Back breakers for our boys. Lots of short fields. We had 5 penalties for 35 yards and they had 4 for around 50 yards. The two biggest ones against UC were the first play ineligible man down field (very questionable but it got called) and a pass interference call that would have given UC the football back.  I felt after our 21-14 lead we had them on their heels but then the fumbles kept coming and GC never quit or gave in. Hats off to them for that effort.

    • 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.
