Special teams play was difference!Stone ran back a kick and Sparta missed extra point that simple!Offense has not cost Sparta a game in few years now!Couple costly penalties also but the ball was spread plenty!Sparta has had one of the top offenses last 3 years who cares if they run pass or do cartwheels they get it done!

Way more to the game than just offense.  Sounds like teams have the opposite problems. UHS needs to be more explosive, Sparta needs better defense and special teams

So if a team scores 35 points and loses you look at the offense?35 points wins 90 percent of all high school games all i am saying is look elsewhere not at the offense for the 2-2 record!2-2 and played the #4 team in the state til the last second!Your smarter  then that Surely!The offense gets it done and has for a long time!Look at the points averaged last 3 years ,yards ,points etc!Or go to The tssaa record books you'll see a few names you might notice!

 

 

 

 

Same great athletes can play defense that play offense. Sometimes it's a teams focus. Look at the college level, lots of explosive teams but championship team also has the #1defense. 

A team has to be balanced to be a champion.

Exactly Upper Cumberland Man you're right!Upperman has a top notch defense year in and out so they will always be in games!The thing  that usually gets Upperman is offense in the playoffs.They just don't have the passing game.The new Q B they have may take them to next level eventually!Back To Johnny Ray he is drinking some wild kool aid,if you throw it 19 times run it 30 that's pretty balanced for high school football in this area!So for him to say you have to do more that run it forward is head scratcher!

Exactly. Not enough skilled athletes or practice time for 99% of HS to put in and run and top notch passing attach. Much easier to get mean and pound the ball or run simple pass patterns to get skilled players the ball in space. Both are needed.

Not sure what you guys are saying about Upperman's offense.  They had the ball I believe six times last week and scored on five of those possessions, that's pretty efficient.  Probably would have been six if they'd put their 6'4" QB under center and let him lean forward for a half yard.  With their defense, not gonna be a lot of shootouts, so it's less about how often or in what manner they score, just continue to be efficient and effective at what you do and take care of the ball and they'll be fine.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
