JMO - it is more important for the program to be 3-0 after next year's first three games than 3-3 after Friday night - considering what is left on the schedule.

Well it's really hard to say that because right now we don't a have clue who we will play in the first 3 games of next year. But I agree we should be in better shape than we are right now. Personally I think we should be sitting at 4-1 right now but it is what it is.. Hopefully we can make up for the bad start by knocking off a team we aren't supposed to. Could it happen next week when we travel to Knox West?

NO

That's what most people would say but we have the athletes to compete with just about anybody. Problem is we have turned the ball over way too much. But judging from What west fans have been saying they have turnover problems of their own. If we play well and hold onto the football and they make a few mistakes and we capitalize on them we could beat them. I'm not saying it will happen but it is possible. Edited by Governors91

That's what people kept telling me when I said WB would beat Heritage again.

Gov you beat two mediocre teams. Don't think y'all are ready for the blue cross bowl or anything. Jeff Co isn't that good. And while Heritage has improved they still aren't that great by any means. They put almost 60 points on WB man. Think about that.

They put up 48 on us. They also put up 35 on Alcoa. And from what I understand they were about to score again when they turned the ball over. That 48 points they scored on us isn't looking so bad now is it? Yeah we barely beat Jefferson County but if you take away all of the silly turnovers that game isn't even close. I don't believe I ever implied that we were going to the blue cross bowl. All I said was we have a chance to hang with west if we don't turn the ball over. If we do that and they turn the ball over a few times we might even have a chance to win that game. I saw the '10 Govs lose to West 14-12 at their place. You wanna know something else? That west team went on to the Semis, so they were pretty dang good then to. Granted, they are better now than they were then but we are also better now than we were then. If we win this friday like we should we will have our first 3 game winning streak since '07. We should be going into that game with confidence. Edited by Governors91

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
