McMinn isn't in Alcoa's league. The mighty Indians already have a "W" penned next to this second round game with McMinn, and I'm told have already started game-planning for their matchup with Maryville,

Uhhhhhhh...... you been talking to Clark??

I'm told you're making stuff up as you go.

I did that about a 100 years ago when I was dating and wooing my future (and still current) spouse.  It worked then.

Their D isn't as strong as you think. Maryville's low score was more of a case of playing flat more so than McMinn's D making stops.

I mean they held Maryville to their 2nd lowest scoring total this season. They’re D may not be Maryville or Alcoa good, but it’s dang good. Those runs D-B were getting last night won’t be nearly as easy.

If Alcoa couldn't run on DB then there is no way McMinn is going to do it, the Cherokees must bring an air raid if they want to have a chance.

Guess we will see.

I guess the other big question is if McMinn has a great defense that can keep Maryville to a respectable offensive number,then will it come down to the kicking game .One of those 9-6 kind of games.

Question. Has the Dobyns Bennett defense allowed a rushing touchdown all season?

If McMinn can not run the ball on Friday, they are in trouble. I don't believe there is any air raid in that arsenal this year that they have shown. They will go with what got them here..Hand the ball to Jalen Hunt.

Sounds like they are in trouble.

I remember what a Maryville player told Scott West when he was interviewed.  He said the McMinn game is a manhood game.  McMinn isn't fancy.  They are going to run the ball. McMinn has a better run game than Alcoa does. Alcoa is a much better passing team than McMinn.

Jalen Hunt is a better than any back than Alcoa has on their roster. When you see him you will understand. He is just small. 3-4 more inches and 20lbs kid would be a power 5 player. His listing is very very generous. The kid is probably no taller than 5'6.
