what is 8 man football....never heard of it...

8 man football is football played with 8 players. On offense 5 men must be on the LOS. There is a center, 2 guards, and 2 ends. The ends can be tight or split. In the backfield there is a QB, and 2 backs. Alingments can vary. On defense you can have many alignments. Some used are, 3-3-2, 4-2-2,3-2-3. Same schemes used in 11 man football on offense and defense can be adapted to fit 8 man football. I went to a game and found it to be very exciting. Some people did not notice the difference in number of players until after the game was in the 2nd. quarter. The field is 80 yards long and can be regular width.

Having seen a few games of 8-man football I can say that is an enjoyable brand of football. The attendance at games is very good and the atmosphere is great. At Metro's first game the crowd was about 800 people and behavior was great. A throw-back to days of the past. I would encourage people to go see one of these games and you will be surprised. I hope more small schools will decide to add football to their athletic program. I really believe that it will increase the enrollment at their school.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
