While I know that the spread offense has been called the offense of the future, this year's state championships were dominated by teams that play smash mouth football.

 

Huntingdon lined up and ran it, Knoxville Fulton was a big, physical team, Hillsboro and Germontown both ran the ball well.

 

While I know that some teams must use the spread to be competitive with teams that are physically superior, a big, physical team may have an advantage in making a playoff run. The odds are that during the playoffs, you will have one or more games when conditions are not going to be suitable for throwing it around (extreme cold, rain, sleet, snow...). On those nights, you better be able to control the line and run the ball.

I found it refreshing that in an era where parents, students, and fans are screaming to throw the ball every play that at least 4 of the champions this weekend ran the ball, ran the ball, and ran the ball some more. Maybe all the fans who "know" some much about football could realize that a coach who decides to commit to running the football and playing great defense may be putting his team in the best situation to win.

 

congrats to all the state champs.

The recipe for success in the game of football really hasn't changed since the first game was played. When a team can run the football with success and stop the other team's running game, they WILL win. It really doesn't matter what level of football you are talking about, whether little league or Bill Parcel's and the Cowboy's that is as simple as it gets.

      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.

      All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
