I’m thinking OR comes out on top in this one. Looks like they have found their running game. Hard to beat a team twice! 

I love my Wildcats but if OR beats West with the studs they have on that defense plus Mattress on offense, the entire West staff needs to be fired. No way OR should come close in this one, but I'll bet OR does keep it pretty close.

I said that way back when WV came to OR and beat the Wildcats.... but you kept them around.

I’ll keep the same theme going here - hope the poor kids from West can hang with OR.  We are over matched at every position - but will show up and try our best.  Don’t think we have a chance in this one - but we will show up and see what happens.  
 

That said - was a decent match up the first game - will be a decent match up the second game.  Whoever wants it more - takes it.  Keys will be turnovers and stupid penalties.  Can’t let teams convert third and longs all night with PI and PF calls.  Too many TDS called back for avoidable penalties.  
 

I expect West to play well and survive RD2.  Don’t care if pretty or ugly - just survive stay healthy and advance.

Couldnt agree more...one point or twenty...as long as West is victorious is all that matters and on to Round 3!

 

Go Rebels!

    • 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.
