is INDY for real?

How bad was coffee county? For a mediocre Indy offense to hang 68 points on them they must have been atrocious. The real measure for Indy will be when they play Franklin, and I just don't think they have the offense to hang with the rebels right now. Their defense is one of the best around, second only to Franklin and the Rutherford county schools. Their defense will keep them in the game against FHS, but their offense doesn't have the firepower to do much on a Franklin defense that held Smyrna to 7 points in regulation (that lone touchdown coming on a short field after a fumble, I might add). The fact is Indy hasn't scored on Franklin in three years, and their offense hasn't improved too much from last year. Indy has jumped Brentwood in the district this year, but they have not reached Franklin's level just yet.

Hold on thier sparky , you say FHS has a better defense then indy? Say Stars and and Commandos putting up some 65 pts total

Rebs have a good 'D' but edge to Indy , recall 14 pts versus the I train , and look what the blaze have been putting on the scoreboard, and how bout the bruins offense indy shut them down and BHS offense has been clicking ..

I agree bout indy offense not as good as FHS , but your team has not been an offensive force either, but it still outshines the eagles.

Indy can run the ball very good by committee but look at thier qb passing stats plain horrible. However when Thompson or swayze connect its for a long one or TD........

If indy can get to Matt often and your o line breaks down , well it could then go indys way...

Sarah palin told me her PREDICTION : its FHS vs INDY and I am used to beatdown and a goose egg on the scoreboard ..

However folks, indy has proved me wrong all offseason and to date, so look for a close one but a late FG by Indy gets the win and the crown

Indy has Hillsboro this Friday @ Hillsboro first. Any chance Hillsboro pulls off an upset? The Franklin game could very well be a clone game of the smyrna and Franklin game. 7-7 at the end of regulation. Maybe even 0-0! :popcorneater:

Franklin changed their defense after week two and has been extremely productive ever since. However, the offense has gone downhill since those games. Will be a close one.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
