Same don't know much about  mid Tennessee  football but do know that Oakland is an unstoppable force across the state im afraid they may he to much for Maryville to handle this year as well but only time  can tell

Oakland lost almost nobody on last years team except the QB, but have replaced him with a better version. I don't know if Maryville's is as good as they were last year but I know Oakland has not lost a thing,,,, in fact I think they are better.

Oakland routes them by half time 

Oakland may win…but they will not route Lipscomb…too much speed.  Wouldn’t be surprised if they do to LA what CPA has done to them the last few years…just grind them down.  But…I don’t think they will score quickly which should prevent a route.  I can’t wait…should be a great game!

On D they are not huge but they are fast. Multiple studs on that side of the ball. You can’t scheme for each one of them. The whole D flocks to the ball better than any team I’ve seen. A different guy will bust up the play each time. They are disciplined and just flat out get after it. Like has been said they return most on O. Excellent RB who glides and some great WR’s. The QB I think is an improvement from last year even though they are just going to pound you. A big solid kid and I think he’s just a junior. Haven’t seen Maryville this year so I don’t know how they compare but we’ll see first hand this year for sure.

    • 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.
