I'm pretty sure Coach Bowling would throw it more if he had a quarterback who can. You have to go back to his Obion county/Dyersburg days when he had Logan Parker who could throw the ball. Since then his quarterbacks have been runners. I think Garret is the one of the best he has had since then. I'm happy to say that. I think if Garret could use this offseason to beef up a little and work on his passing more, he'll do even better next year. Make history for UC. The 1 key thing Garret must work on (he knows this) is carrying out his fakes. If he would take just 2 more steps after handing the ball off, Ricky would have had many, many more yards running than he did. Because Garret runs the ball so well, defenses have to freeze til they know if he has the ball or not. With him carrying out his fakes better, all of the other backs will prosper as well. And then it will also create more passing opportunities. But it really doesn't matter if a quarterback can throw the ball if he doesn't have anyone who can catch it.

Cooper will be ready to go when his number is called. We would like for him to start his reign his junior year. That means Garret does well and stays healthy his senior year. That will give Coop more time to learn this offense better. Cooper will bring more of a passing threat to this offense and a power run. He will lower his head and run over you. I know this is High School and the boys/athletes are different but in junior Tornado football and middle school, Cooper had the ability to take over a game on both sides of the ball. He was making passes as a 4th grader that the referees (who ref'd high school and college games) would come to the sidelines and say they have never seen someone his age do the things he was doing. I would call 2-3 plays in the huddle when he was in 5th and 6th grade for him to call at the line of scrimmage. He did really, really well. By the time he is a junior he should be 6'1-6'2 range .. 190-200 lbs hopefully. There are 2 other Jernigan family members (besides Cooper) coming through the works that play quarterback. His brother , Conner Hurt (future 8th grader) and cousin, Grant Jernigan (future 6th grader) On that note, UC should be in good hands Quarterback wise over the next 6 years. Of course I'm their uncle and may be a little one sided here.

Hopefully the players and coaches will work their tails off this offseason for 1 goal next year. To be perfect.

goes by amount of students enrolled moron.

No... the bulk of our team are juniors that have been together since peewee football. Like atlas said ...HARD freaking work!!!!

I think you need to do more research before making these type of comments. Clearly jealous. Grow up!!

There is no weather problem that is too bad to me cause there's no other place id rather be than right here with my wife and family in cookeville. We all made the trip safely Now we rest and pray our boys play great and stay injury free. Like NCS the game will end with a 1 score difference. UC to the end!!!!

I agree that your (ncs) #50 is a good player and did well at times but that was only when he was offense. UC's #50 handled him when he was on defense. Probably 2 all staters 1 on 1. Maybe they can go at it again next year.

..........this is last years team. 2012

Although I will read the posts, im going to hold off til later in week to start sharing my thoughts. Very fortunate to have my family share this experience together with 2 kids on the team. We will have the same team back next year pretty much but nothing is guaranteed. 1 game left no matter what this year. Go UC!!!!!!

Uc#50 vs Ns#50 was a good one but overall our uc #50 contolled him from the get go. Both teams played hard but in the end it was who played with MOST heart. Always UC

Orange fuzz, its hard to believe you are a uc fan and would say we have very little chance.

Sounds good.

Jdogg can you meet me in the morning at 9am?
