Well, finally had a chance to take a closer look at Cornersville. Like someone else said in this thread, this game will set the tone for the next week in my opinion.  I think these two teams are more evenly matched than many, mostly McKenzie fans, are thinking. I have always shot it straight so here it goes.

Do I think McKenzie has more athletes...yes. Do I think we will win....yes.  Will it be the blowout some are anticipating...NO.  These two teams mirror each other in so many ways.  On the offensive side of the ball, they will jump into spread, wing, or power.  McKenzie will do the same thing based off of what that defense is going to show.  The QB, I believe it is #9 Woodard, can run much like Cassidy for McKenzie.  He can also extend plays and let something happen down field with his arm.   He keeps his head on a swivel.  The McKenzie defense is going to have be disciplined on the edges and down field.  We can't bite on the run or misdirection.  Their running backs remind me a lot of Huntingdon's.  They wait for the crease created by those big lineman and take off.  Again, McKenzie is going to have to keep everything to the inside or have good technique on the outside and stretch those backs to the sideline.  The line, as with most games, is where this game is going to be won or lost for both sides. Can McKenzie's offensive line give Cassidy time to throw?  Can they open just enough of a hole to allow Taylor or McCreary to get 5 or 6 yards a carry?  Notice I didn't say bust the long run all night.  Can our defensive line and secondary contain the backs and the secondary play solid coverage down field?  

This is going to be a good one.  I will take McKenzie, Comer, and the at home advantage by 10.

Is Woodard kin to the QB that played in 2019. Man that kid was good both on offense and defense. I believe the Dogs would have won the gold ball if he hadn't got hurt.

Not sure.  But the QB now is pretty good I think. His arm is average but from what I can tell he is accurate.

Those of us that seen them was saying the same as you are now, never, have I considered you a homer at all ! Your analysis is spot on, I just think they have a punchers chance but a chance non the less ! I don’t believe the Corn Dawgs will be a cake walk, would you agree also the Fayetteville has their hands full as well this week ?

I think Dresden will give them more than they bargained for.  That could be a good one as well. It could also tell us how good Dresden.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
