THE U TRAVELS TO GREENEVILLE. LETS GO

Recommended Posts

Upperman travels to Greeneville for a semi final matchup. If this game is played in Baxter I give The U the edge but because it’s in Greeneville the home team has to be the favorite. Upperman is building something special, the sophomore quarterback is really good. Defense is nasty and hard to score on. The only thing I know about Greeneville is they are really good.

I’ve seen a little bit of both teams. I believe Greeneville wins by double digits. Upper man will have trouble scoring on Greeneville’s Defense. Upperman’s physical Defense will slow the Greeneville Offense alittle but I think their RB Quillen will squeak through a couple times for a few Tds. This will be the first team that has matched Uppermans physically, but Greeneville will be more athletic.

What does Greeneville look like? I don’t think upperman has ever played them

Here is the Link to the game against Anderson County so you can get a look at the Greene Devils

 

Greeneville Prides themself on D and being the most Physical team.  The team goes as Quillen (Upperman fans should know this name from the baseball state championship game last year) goes and very hard to stop.  We will try to run it down your throat and will throw some quick slants, bubble screens, and try to stretch it down field some to open up the run game if you stacked the box (Its what we in the 2nd half against AC).  Athletic Line on both O and D and have some guys that are great in pass coverage.  You better be able to throw the ball because lining it up and trying to run right at us won't work. (Held Mr. Football Semi-Finalist to 33 yards on 18 carries last night).  Should be a fun game but feel Greeneville is more battle tested and a couple of scores favorite from what film i've seen of Upperman

Nice assessment Swipes. I can only add a good kicking game and a tough environment to play in.

Yea not trying to leave out Brandon, especially knowing he can knock one through from over 50 yards in a pressure situation.  I’m sure Burley will be rocking next Friday Coach!

I think Greeneville is definitely the favorite. Upperman will need to play a perfect game to have a chance this year. I think we are one year away from the state championship.  I do not believe our sophomore quarterback has reached his potential yet he is a gunslinger make no mistake about it.  He can throw the rock if they allow him to. I think Upperman will have to throw a football to win this game.  They will need to score  25 to 30 points to win in Greeneville.  I do believe having to play Alcoa for the past several years has helped this program. That said the Green Devils are a 2 touchdown favorite this year.

    • 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.
