This will be the toughest regular season game for the Jackets this year.

This will be a tough one for Marshall County as well. If MC can't clean up the penalties they will be in for a long night! 100 yards in penalties won't cut it against a tough Springfield team.

Different take here.  This is the premier matchup in 4A for us fans, but the Springfield coaches don't really care about polls and ranking.  Wilson is notorious for resting kids in meaningless non region games, the last several times we've played Beech come to mind. It wouldn't surprise me one bit, to see a lot of backups for the Jackets.  I'm not saying they wouldn't like to win, but I think staying healthy and building quality depth for the late season will be the priority in my opinion.  I could see it last night against WH, lots of sophomores playing lots of snaps on D early and often last night.

I disagree with you this year and here's why, the last several years Springfield had already played teams that had put them through adversity by this point, while even losing once or twice by this point. He needs the team to be tested to prepare them for the playoffs, this is the best opportunity to do that in the regular season imo, I just don't see him passing that up...

A lot of those sophomores playing early and a lot are the starters on defense or the backups that rotate in regularly. They’ve been doing that all season from the get go. 

One other tidbit; Springfield’s win over Wilson Central looks better and better. WC gave Mt Juliet all they wanted last night.

This game will let us know if the Jackets are for real. Marshall co is a great program.

I know the west side is weaker and all, but 4  straight semi finals appearances and 2-3 championship games would say that the Jackets have a pretty good program too!

    • 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.
