This is a special episode of Nobody’s Safe with Brady Laber as we dedicate the show to a season preview of the 2021 Thomas More Saints football team. We talk with head coach Trevor Stellman about a number of subjects including how he and his team has filled the time during the fall while they would normally be playing its schedule. Coach Stellman acknowledges that everything is different now with playing a schedule that begins in February. This includes the decision making process of actually deciding to shift the schedule to spring with the admission that it’s not really spring during the month of February. We looked back to the last season that Thomas More played football back in the fall of 2019. Stellman acknowledges that going 4-7 in the team’s first year of playing in the Mid-South Conference was an admirable feat. However, that’s not the expectations at Thomas More and his team was just a handful of plays away from flipping that to a winning a record. We go through the two-deep depth chart for Week 1 as a way to break down his team and get to know some of the newcomers including new starting quarterback Jay Volpenhein. This season is a 7-game, all-league schedule within the Bluegrass Division of the Mid-South Conference. Coach Stellman talks about how difficult that will be but also the opportunity that this schedule presents. Also, a new element to the spring schedule is that the games are scheduled for Friday nights not to interfere with other fall sports moving to the spring. We close out with Coach Stellman talking about the fan base and hoping that they have a chance to be there and watch his team in person if and when it becomes safe. Next, we bring in the "Voice of the Saints” Nate Metz as we break down the Saints opening day victory over Cumberland University. Thomas More won over the Phoenix 19-14 in Lebanon, Tennessee to start the year 1-0. The Saints led throughout but fell behind in the fourth quarter. Volpenhein scrambled out of the pocket 34 yards for the go-ahead touchdown. A late defensive stop secured the victory when linebacker Del Thomas batted down a last second desperation pass into the end zone.
