Yes, make the BHS QB a part of the gameplan and the Indians will win.

Well, it’s a little more complex than that, but I would be more concerned with the run game, and if that fails, then the constant wide receiver screens that will follow and may be cut in with the run, and also the Bearden quarterback has established himself as a great option quarterback, so be on the lookout for that, but watching the Science Hill game, I expect the dogs will probably put it down on the running game, and then obviously you got defense, the Bearden defense got torched this past weekend, but have been excellent all year, and I don’t expect any step back. I’m expecting a pretty large Bearden win probably by 21+ points, but hopefully it turns out to be a good game.

I can remember a few games at about every level that I thought the odds were nearly impossible .Like Brady and the Pats coming back against Atlanta down 28-3 towards the end of the 3rd quarter.Nothing is a given in sports and if DB has a great week of practice and gives everything they have, then yes they can win this week and four more games to boot .Sports is played on the field and not in the paper or on coacht. Never count a victory or a loss until the competition is complete.

Having now seen both play, I don't think DB has the depth or team speed to match up for 4 quarters with the Bulldogs, which can play fresh linemen on both sides of the ball. and they have two fast backs that can run and the quarterback is capable of throwing over the top on you. Bearden's defense is suspect to a team that can throw and has speed, but that is not DB. DB absolutely has to run the ball consistently and have long drives and get some kind of score off each one, even field goals and hope Bearden has a post Bradley hangover. It might be close first half, but I think Bearden pulls away in the 3rd quarter and wins by 35-17.

It could go two ways. DB keeps it close until a fourth quarter bonehead play call cost them the game. Or they just come into the game uninterested and get blown out. In reality it's been a rough year. I think everybody's ready to get the basketballs out. 

Waco, you all have become winter sports beasts! (That is a compliment)

Have been reading about speed on these DB posts. I do remember the SEC on display at a past DB/Bearden game with Devrin Young, Swafford, and Foreman. Now that was speed.

Devrin Young was spectacular at RB unfortunately, he never got the shot at UTK due to his size, but he was still a kick off nightmare.

    • 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.
