CC is 4 points away from the perfect season

 

Sounds like CC of old. If this, if that. Forget about it. They had their chance to win those games and could not answer the call.

CC can compete against the remainder of their region schedule and has a shot to win the region. It certainly does not hurt CC chances w/ Russell on the sidelines but FC has the ability to win without him. Everything points to FC to win but I will pick the Raiders in a close one.

I look forward to watching this one.

I try to make my picks as objective as possible and while I hope the Red Raiders win I just have hard time picking a team with a suspect defense and nonexistant special teams (since they are rarely used.) A side note though is that Nunley is the real deal and a FAR better back than say Gregory of LC.

hey, i agree 100%, i have been saying that since the cookeville game. Coffee has a pretty good punter, why not use him? I also think that going for it on 4 and goal from the 5 when the score is 0-0 makes no since. how bout a 3 pointer?

I think that when you look at both of these teams (whether Russell plays or not), there are two very interesting trends at work. One, Franklin County's offensive production has gone down every game except the Shelbyville contest. The same can be said for Coffee County. That said, I think that you are going to see a fairly low scoring game in Manchester.

 

Two, though the points are down, the number of yards each team is gaining per game has stayed relatively the same. This seems to indicate that there are problems in getting the ball in the end zone for one reason or another. I think that whoever establishes the first lead that is bigger than 8 points is going to win because of the declining point production made by both teams - and the fact that after the first quarter, both defenses will have a good idea of what the other team is doing on offense. It's going to be hard to come back in this game if a team gets down by more than 8. That's also a trend that Coffee County has to buck (if it happens) because if they have fallen behind by more than 8 in a game, they have come up on the short end of the scoreboard when the final buzzer sounds.

 

I think that you will also see a lot of emotion seeing as the loser of this game becomes the only team (of the top four) that has a legitimate chance of not going to the playoffs, but also has an even better chance of meeting Riverdale in round 1 of the playoffs. It's a geographical rivalry, both teams have solid community support and I think we'll see a lot of people there.

 

I'm not going to offer a pick because I think this game will boil down to one thing. Franklin County's worst enemy has been themselves in recent weeks (see Herald Chronicle article for details) and Coffee County has had a history this year of getting off to slow starts. I think that the winner of this game will be the team that figures out the formula of moving the ball down the field AND SCORING first.

 

(not who scores first, but who figures out how to do it effectively first).

 

Prediction: Low scoring, emotion filled, and heartbreaking for the loser since both teams were picked at one point to win the region. There's a lot of drama here and it could add up to a very exciting football game.

I think that the game will be a very good one although Coffee County has had Offensive line problems with thier starting gaurd Kyle Jernigan breaking his ankle they will probably rotate other people there. They will also have a new starting tackle from what i hear hes never played it before :D . I hear Russell won his apeal and will play i agree with alot of people that it will be low scoring. Coffee County's D has stepped it up the last few games the O has been slacking but i say hand it to # 1 and # 20 and throw slants to # 2 and #4 all night and you will win. If the the D plays like they have i say they hold FC to 7 or 14 and win 14-7 and you can quote me on that :D

      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.
