You also thought that the Mustangs would "handle" the Rebels too...that wasn't the case.

Lol you are correct!  I will be wrong many times again.  Congrats to Rebels they are better than expected but the Mustangs couldn’t have played worse.  I think everyone may be inflating how good McKenzie really is at this point.

Lots of movement in the rankings this week. Several teams in the top 10 took opening week losses. So some moved up while others moved down. 
 

1.  Henry Co. 1-0 42-10 W over Brighton

2.  Dyersburg 1-0 33-7 W over Dyer Co

3.  Munford 1-0 30-13 W over Covington

T4.  Haywood 1-0 28-21 W over PURE Youth Academy

T4.  Riverside 0-1 35-14 L to Collierville

6.  Hardin Co. 1-0 48-12 W over Memphis Business Academy

7.  McKenzie 1-0 28-12 W over the Stanks

8.  USJ 1-0 W 14-7 over Peabody 

9.  Union City 0-1 40-6 L to Ensworth

10.  Covington 0-1 30-13 L to Munford

 Outside Looking In- Dresden 1-0, Crockett Co. 1-0, Huntingdung 0-1, Milan 1-0, South Gibson 0-1, JCS 1-0

What do you folks think??

Should learn a lot about the Tigers Friday night with Giles County coming to town. I think will be a good measuring stick for where this team is at. I’m not gonna get to high on them till I see how this game shakes out. HC looked pretty good for the most part in game one against a week opponent. Moved the ball well on the ground and through the air. Defense looked good other than a couple of breakdowns.

Think Crockett, Milan, SGC are all better than Haywood this year.

I think your probably right. Just need to see Haywood lose a game before I move them. 

I believe this is correct. At a glance at Friday night's score, one would wonder what is going on with Haywood. Keep in mind that they were without their starting QB as well as #2 QB Friday night. Not to mention their QB from last year has transferred. So in a way, they were playing with the #4 QB. I would say this is odd for the 1st game of the season. I do however believe that this year's Haywood squad is not going to be the same as the past several years.

Good list BPM. I would go ahead and drop Haywood way down and flip USJ and Union City, but I get why you haven’t. The latter will get sorted out this week anyway.


Can’t quite throw them in the honorable mention after a loss, but I think Peabody will make some noise before this season is over with. They have size, speed and are well-coached. The cupboard is not bare in Trenton.

Mustanks actually could have played worse.  It is my opinion that there isn't any inflating going on but rather an underestimating of how good a coach that Comer is.  You don't accidentally average 8.5 wins a season for 23 seasons.  He will hit 200 wins this season and has consistently adapted his offensive and defensive systems based on the strengths of his players and not forced them into some antiquated offense from the early 1900's.  Swenson won't get 200, Mansfield didn't either, and even the great Paul Ward fell short.  Looks like Comer and the Rebs were just better prepared for the game Friday night than Swenson and the ponies.

    • 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.
