Nolensville at Tullahoma

The R5 #2 Wildcats host the R6 #3 Knights. Tullahoma is 7-3 while Nolensville is 8-2.

Both teams have played a weak schedule. Nolensville beat only one team with a winning record. The combined record of the opponents it beat is 28-52. Tullahoma also only beat one team with a winning record and the combined record of the opponents it beat is 24-47. 

Tullahoma averages 26 PPG and gives up 13.

Nolensville averages 29 PPG and gives up 17.

If either team plays like they did last week, they will probably lose. I expect both teams to play more like they have the previous few weeks. 

The last time they played was 2020 in the playoff quarterfinals, when the Knights beat the Wildcats 15-14 on a late safety on a snap over the punters' head.

This should be an entertaining game. Listen to all the action at:

That 2020 game is probably the best high school game I've ever seen.  Edge of your seat tension from start to finish.

That 2020 Tullahoma team was better than the 2021  state championship team. Always tough playing a team twice, and the Nolensville coaching staff had  a great game plan, to shut  down Tullahoma.

The 2021 team was by far a better football team in terms of “team”. The 2020 team was certainly more athletic, but not better.  I also believe that offensive play calling  got better in 2021 due to choking against Nolensville in 2020.

The 2020 team definitely had a lot of talent.  I remember they basically crushed everyone in the regular season (including Nolensville for one half in the first game) and then found themselves in a dog fight in Game 2 with Nolensville.  Nolensville had already pulled out some tight games so they truly believed that could do it against Tullahoma.  Sometimes that's enough.

    • 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.
