Well, finally had a chance to take a closer look at Cornersville. Like someone else said in this thread, this game will set the tone for the next week in my opinion.  I think these two teams are more evenly matched than many, mostly McKenzie fans, are thinking. I have always shot it straight so here it goes.

Do I think McKenzie has more athletes...yes. Do I think we will win....yes.  Will it be the blowout some are anticipating...NO.  These two teams mirror each other in so many ways.  On the offensive side of the ball, they will jump into spread, wing, or power.  McKenzie will do the same thing based off of what that defense is going to show.  The QB, I believe it is #9 Woodard, can run much like Cassidy for McKenzie.  He can also extend plays and let something happen down field with his arm.   He keeps his head on a swivel.  The McKenzie defense is going to have be disciplined on the edges and down field.  We can't bite on the run or misdirection.  Their running backs remind me a lot of Huntingdon's.  They wait for the crease created by those big lineman and take off.  Again, McKenzie is going to have to keep everything to the inside or have good technique on the outside and stretch those backs to the sideline.  The line, as with most games, is where this game is going to be won or lost for both sides. Can McKenzie's offensive line give Cassidy time to throw?  Can they open just enough of a hole to allow Taylor or McCreary to get 5 or 6 yards a carry?  Notice I didn't say bust the long run all night.  Can our defensive line and secondary contain the backs and the secondary play solid coverage down field?  

This is going to be a good one.  I will take McKenzie, Comer, and the at home advantage by 10. 

Spot on . 100% agree with this 

Go rebels!!!!

After reading all of these post, the one thing no one has mentioned is the other factor: Comer.  Probably one of the best at dissecting tendencies and "making" the defense get into what he wants them

Yea me to.  But I'm not 100% if he will be on Defense even though he has been practicing.. but it opens up alot for Cassidy now that our back up qb is back ... 

It will be interesting how Coach will use him.  I will know Friday morning what the plan will be.

Is Woodard kin to the QB that played in 2019. Man that kid was good both on offense and defense. I believe the Dogs would have won the gold ball if he hadn't got hurt.

I believe you are referring to 2017 when #7/#22 Woodard got hurt (don't remember the year he switched numbers). He went back to State in 2018 when we lost against Whitwell. He was healthy that year. But that Woodard is cousin to QB #9 Woodard.

However, there is another Woodard as well, RB/DB #5 which is QB #9's cousin and the younger brother of the Woodard you're referring to. Does that make sense? :lol:

Woodard's run deep in Bulldog Football history. It's a family tradition.

I think this is a pretty fair assessment. However, I hope you're wrong on the outcome. Lol

      I am interested in seeing how much they progress in year two under Fitz myself. I do believe they will improve but how much will be the question.

      I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
