I felt like Gibson Co was gonna win this game! They were more physical when I saw both teams earlier! I like the wagons if they keep the O going! I’m kinda scratching my head as to why everyone is so down on this group? I honestly think GC has good things going! And hey I’m just an outsider

I told you earlier in the week that our offense was fine... I don’t look so dumb after all...

UC had 500 yards of offense with 25 first downs and Gibson had 350 yards of offense with 13 first downs. UC beat themselves tonight with the fumbles. Gibson County is a good football team but we handed this one to them on a platter. 

I asked earlier … I heard we had 11 fumbles … How many did we lose ? … How many picked up or picked off and ran in for TDs? … How many short fields GC have to drive? … 76 yard TD pass called back on first play from scrimmage …  How many penalties in all? …  35 points … 500 yards offense … 25 first downs … No way you lose that game …

I can tell you that UC didn’t have as many penalty yards as GC.  I believe it was 6 turnovers.  3 returned for touchdown.  Which resulted in GC only having 350 yards of offense.  But the fourth quarter GC ran the ball right down UC throat to finish the game.

I had this game being a coin toss.. didn’t expect 61 from the pioneers, turnovers are apart of the game. Either way you have to give Coach Finley props from turning a program no coach in west tn would wanna touch to beating UC and Peabody in two different seasons 

Absolutely 100%!!!

Just a few years ago, Gibson County was losing this same game 61-0...

I agree.  UC has always ran the double wing to perfection.  They were not in sync tonight. Take away the turnovers and you have  a much closer game. We had trouble stopping the run.  I would not count UC out.  They are like fine wine they only get better as time and the season goes on.  Great program and classy bunch of people. Good luck the rest to the season to the Tornadoes the rest of the season.

I'm not taking away from the Pioneers. It was a good win for our kids but we need to move on to next week.

UC had 11 fumbles by my count we lost 8 I believe the majority coming around midfield. Most were completely unforced. You just can’t do that and expect to win ballgames. Gibson turned those extra possessions into at least 42 points. Credit to them for capitalizing on those chances. It’s funny because last week IC didn’t have a single fumble and I thought we had gotten those kinks worked out. Congratulations to Gibson County on the win. Hope we run into you guys again down the road.

Win the turnover battle and you win the game the majority of the time.   The biggest takeaway I have from this game is the culture change at GC.  In the past when UC scores 21 unanswered and went up 21-14 the game was over.  Last night GC took the next possession and went down and scored. Got a stop and scored 21 unanswered themselves.    That’s a sign of a program making steps.

12 fumbles lost 7. 3 of those 7 were scoop and scores. Back breakers for our boys. Lots of short fields. We had 5 penalties for 35 yards and they had 4 for around 50 yards. The two biggest ones against UC were the first play ineligible man down field (very questionable but it got called) and a pass interference call that would have given UC the football back.  I felt after our 21-14 lead we had them on their heels but then the fumbles kept coming and GC never quit or gave in. Hats off to them for that effort.

    • 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.
