Those returning patriots are learning a whole new offense...While I thiink the spread will.be a great fit for JC's speedy receivers, It's nothing the Devils haven't seen executed well by more seasoned teams. If in fact jitters are a factor in the outcome of this one, it will more than likely be in greeneville's favor.

Greeneville travels to dumplin valley to face the Jefferson County on August 20. Should be a great game with a great atmosphere. Greeneville is loaded and one of the state's best, yet Jefferson County returns plenty of starters and is a very talented team. I say it'll be a close game.

That all depends on the execution of JC's offense. After struggling against Heritage to punch it in from the red zone, the coaches are working to assure better efficiency from the offensive core. I think an X-Factor of this game is the amount of hype Greeneville has. Although they have excellent athletes, I think that there is a slight chance that they might come into Patriot Stadium thinking they already have the game won. Last year's game was a little closer than the score showed. We had two touchdowns called back for holding. If that doesn't happen, the score is 28-17. Hardly a blowout. And let's not forget that the year before that, the Patriots came into the Devil's home stadium with a hostile crowd and heavily favored opponent, coming out with a 42-28 win. JC is even more improved from last season, with a new offense that fits our explosive personnel well. The defense was completely dominant against Heritage, but Greeneville is a much more high caliber team than the Mountaineers. I'm very interested to see how this matchup plays out. I know that the Patriots, who hate Greeneville very much, are extremely psyched to stop Greeneville's road to glory the very first game. I'm not sure, however, what the excitement level for the Devils will be. They're already at the top of the food chain, not in front of their home crowd, and matched up against a team THEY think they should easily beat. Could that factor be the deciding one in an excellent win for the Patriots?

JeffCoPatriots2, you make some really interesting and valid points. Greeneville may be the #1 team in class 4A, but if anyone did not read the Murphy's Fair Tennessee High School Football pre-season magazine, it had Jefferson County recieving votes for the top 10 poll in class 6A. I've said this once and I'll say it again; Jefferson County has the potential to be a REALLY GOOD football team, they just have to believe it. Jefferson County is hungry, hungry to get that taste of a subpar 5-5 season out of their mouths. Hungry to have respect, hungry to be a dominant power in Tennessee, that they were so used to being. Hungry to stop hearing about the 1987 team ( the only team to win a state title at Jeff Co) and how good they were. Hungry for an opportunity, and it all starts August 20, 7:30 at Dumplin Valley. Go Pats

If I would have cheated on my LSAT I might have gotten accepted to law school. There was probably a good reason the yellow flag was thrown on those two plays. I don't think the Devils will come out flat. I think they'll be ready to prove everyone that they are for real. There are still a lot of naysayers out there that don't think the Devils are for real. Trust me, many of us in our own county thought this last year. The Devils proved everyone wrong and I think they still have that chip on their shoulder to do so again this year.

Why did you guys start another thread when there already is one?

If they were so great, why did they get beat by DB?

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
