Wouldn’t it be very interesting if Gib started against Betsy in 3 weeks.

I’m calling it now. He will leave the Hurd kid in until the Betsy game. And blame it on Gib when they loose. Then, he will go back to the Hurd kid.

I tend to think that the problem might be the "playbook" and not Gib Maupin. I tend to think maybe Gib Maupin should teach the Elizabethton "playbook" to the DB coaching staff. 

You present a good point. Joey always talks about how "complicated" the playbook is but that's only a good thing when you are winning games.

Following up a 7-3 season with a 6-4 and early playoff exit, yes

So...... Maryville finished 7-3 last year but still made the semi-finals, in what universe could that be held against Hunt to get that far only to fall short @ Oakland?

Don’t think they make it to Oakland this year.

Think Bearden will clip em or Farragut? I’ll believe it when I see it. Bearden is definitely capable of it.

Or Cleveland, but Bradley in Rd 2 or 3 is what I think

I could see them beating Bradley if Ladue is healthy. BC didn’t impress me all that much. All that talent and they scored 21 against Maryville. Maryville can easily beat them, in my opinion. Cleveland I know nothing about so far. If I was Bradley I wouldn’t be looking forward to playing Maryville again.

From what I know of Maryville including their past I wouldn't count them out of reaching the semi's again this year. West and BC only beat them by 7 and they're supposed to be the two top teams in UET this year. I would like their chances even without Ladue. If Ladue makes it back in time for the playoffs Maryville will be a different team.

I agree, if they get Ladue back their chances go up just that much more, but yeah, I wouldn’t count ‘em out even without him for a minute. People underestimating Maryville.

Gib was the starter all spring and summer until the 1st scrimmage.  Had trouble with sideline signals and calling plays and turnovers.  Hurd moved to QB1 at that point

I agree with both they do it time and time again looking for a reason to count out Maryville and then like always Maryville is practicing the week of Thanksgiving. Maryville has the heart of a champion you'd be crazy to count them out. With Ladue Maryville would have beat West and if Ladue comes back there's a great chance they're in the semi again but I'm just talking about what happened thus far in the BC game, please listen to the Maryville fans and the outside fans that focus on this game Maryville was lucky that night only 21-13, BC fumble on the Maryville 10yrd line, BC had another fumble in Maryville territory, BC had 1st and 10 on the Maryville 16 with 7 seconds left before half and had to rush to kick a fg and missed, BC had a 73yrd td called back and Boo had an int in the endzone that they said his toes touch out of bounds and Maryville got 3pts out of that

Yeah, I agree, it could’ve been worse, but on the other hand turnovers are a part of football and a really good football team doesn’t turn over the ball that much like that either. That’s what has set Maryville apart for years upon years, they don’t beat themselves.
