That would be an interesting scenario as Covington has been running out of the spread with Fayne as the qb. That’s not what they ran in the last meeting. Will be interesting to see how Milan does against that offense. 

I got to watch some of their game against South Gibson with Fayne at QB. In my opinion you can tell he is not a true QB, darn good athlete for sure, just not a QB. It would be interesting to see how Milan stacks up against that offense but in that scenario like I said I see Milan winning a lot "easier". Because no game between these two would be easy hahaha

Covington's whole season changed once their QB went down. They have a 0% chance of beating Milan if the 3rd string QB is forced to play. Not much better if the 1st string guy comes back and is less than 100%. Basically, its going to be tough for Covington to get a win this week. I called for them to win when it matters, but I am going against my pick due to injuries and saying Milan wins this and it won't be that close.

I agree with a lot of what you are saying. But I can guarantee Milan coaches and players aren’t approaching it this way. They know Covington is the big dawg on the block until they are beaten by a west tn team when it matters. Covington is the favorite until proven otherwise and the Dawgs are preparing to fight the bully on the block.

I totally get trying to play the underdog role, but Milan is 100% the favorite in this one. Even more of a favorite if Covington trots out the DB who is playing QB or a less than 100% 1st string QB. I would agree that Covington is the bully on the block, but the bully has already been beat up this year and is coming in injured Anything less than a Milan win on their home field should be looked at as a major disappointment. End of story.

In some people’s eyes. The coaches are keeping the players grounded and definitely not letting them take anyone for granted. I honestly believe no one will know until game time how healthy the Covington qb is. Milan is preparing for all possibilities.

Concerning Carson Ruffin's status at QB, I have asked a couple of people and I have not found out anything yet. I'm in agreement with you that we may not know until game time. If I'm coach Kirby, I'm keeping that info closely held. By doing so, Milan will have to prepare for two different offensive schemes. It may not be a big advantage for Covington, but I can see why the element of surprise would help.

Absolutely it is the smart thing to do. Can’t blame your coaches.

I  just watched a replay of the 3 OT game again. That has to be the best display of defense on both sides of the ball that I have ever seen in regulation. Each defense only broke down on one play to allow a long score by the other team. 

In overtime, the quality of play broke down into a comedy of errors. First OT, Milan misses the chip shot FG. Then Covington fumbles the ball away on their first play.

Second OT, Covington drives to the 1 foot line, and tries a QB sneak on 4th down using Ruffin with a bad leg. Milan shuts that down. On their possession, the Milan QB proceeds to fumble the ball.

Third OT, Milan moves their QB to wideout and passes to him for the go ahead TD. On Covington's possession, Ruffin tries to pass (on one leg) and throws a wounded duck for the INT to end the game.

If the defenses play like they did in regulation, this playoff game could be very low scoring.

    • 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.
