Farragut At West

I expect them to be really good again, possibly better than last. Not sure about OL/DL but I know they bring back that big RB Mattress, who gave us all kinds of issues. I believe one of their WR already has a few high profile offers from D1 schools. As you and I both know, they are never lacking for talent. Sorry I cannot expound more, but there are a few really good West posters on here who may pop up soon to tell you more. I’d expect a dogfight.

Anybody know anything about West this year?   What do they have coming back and how good are they supposed to be?

They lost a handful of guys on both sides of the ball, including Drew Francis at LB, but all of their skill guys are back. I think they will be even better this year, but their biggest question will be OL and DL play, like SS eluded to.

West will be a challenge. They have over 120 kids in the program from what I understand. QB is back and surrounded by talented skill athletes. They are always tough on defense and very well coached.  

Farragut will have to play MUCH better on the offensive line and on defense than they did against Bradley. The new QB throws a nice ball, but he will face pressure for certain. The young Farragut OL will need to be physical to run the football on West... and running it will be key. 

Defensively, Farragut has run some 40 front the last couple of years, but against Bradley the transition definitely looked to be a work in progress. Poor fits and missed assignments will lead to BIG plays for West. I would like to see #16 on the field more... he makes plays. Hydration will also be huge... Farragut had key players out for extended periods against Bradley due to cramping.

 Purcell vs Mattress. That's two semi trucks going down hill at each other, that's the match up to watch... winner of that one has the advantage. 

I was watching the Farragut highlights from their game Friday night and that guy looks like a truck running the ball. He will be a load for any team to handle.

He won't get the pub like Mattress or Jackson at Oak Ridge, but kids a blue collar on both sides of the ball. The battle will be him on defense and Mattress at RB.

I believe Farragut will have a slight advantage already having a game under their belt.  But this is a home game for West.

I'm gonna say Farragut 24 West 21

I just wanted to give you an opportunity to dramatically revise your score prediction...:shock:

Has to be concerning for Farragut that the entire defense is SR's except for 1. I'm surprised that this game was not closer, I expected a West win just not by this margin. They have address the offensive side of the ball as well, #20 will be beat up by the middle of the season if they can't get help moving the ball up the field.

    • 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.
