Tyner has trouble defensing the midline option, we put 72 points on them in two years.  Their speed was working against them, because they get to ball very well, just saying.  I am not sure they knew what was happening, very surprised to see them doing the same thing on D when we played them the second year.  You have to love coach Turner though, he wears those knee high socks, 80's coaching shorts, and shirt tucked in and may light up a cig. on field.  Very retro.  Great guy.  Not sure he smokes anymore. He is a joy to be around.    

Who is "We"?

Upperman hasn't played anyone this year.  Thats all I hear in Cookeville is how good Upperman is.  Wait til rd 3, if they make it that far.

Conversations about whether or not Upperman would be Cookeville in a hypothetical game are irrelevant and inconsequential to what really matters. Upperman plays Grundy County this week and that is the only game they are worried about. I believe Cookeville will have their hands full with the little road trip they get to take this week (and there is an entire thread devoted to discussing it on the 5A-6A board). So, since this thread is about UHS and Grundy County, who are the playmakers at Grundy and what can Upperman expect to see on offense and defense? Everyone knows Upperman has a strong offensive threat in York but what do is the general impression about their defense after the last few games? Improved from the beginning of the season or still as weak as people thought at first?

To get back on topic here. Grundy has several playmakers. The running back #1 (Michael Nolan) is the best I have ever seen at Grundy. Over 1200 yards on the year and he is an absolute bulldozer. QB is young but can make almost any throw on the field. Receivers are a pretty good group. As far as Defense, #54 DE is the guy to watch, 85 tackles on the year 14 TFL. He is a beast and only in his junior year.

How does Grundy travel? Visitor stands at the U are pretty small just wondering if it will be a packed house.

It's really hard to say.  At times we travel well. I think it all depends on the location. Upperman is about a 1 hr 30 min drive from the mountain. We traveled well to last years playoff game at Cheatham Co. which was a longer drive. I am hoping to see us pack the stands, but with our season like it's been I am just not sure. I know I will be there.

Goatboy i'm not sure many fans will make the drive to see the inevitable. Number 54 does sound like a beast though, 85 tackles from a DE position is impressive.

Opie it's been 3 times this year soon to be 4 Friday night. Last year it was 4 times. In 2011 it was also 4 times. In 2010 it was only once I think. In 2009 it was one or two and 2008 it was 4 or 5 if I'm not mistaken. There's a difference in losing and getting mercy ruled.

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      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.
