1973
High Flying Jaguars Narrowly Miss Playoffs
The Thomas Jefferson Jaguars were sailing through the regular season compiling a 8-0 record behind the passing of Keith Potts and running of John Hyland and Rock Lindsey when they were upset in the season finale narrowly missing the playoffs.
In 1973, the Jaguars began the season by posting an 8-6 victory over Ringgold, which was led by a quarterback named Joe Montana who would later move on to win four Superbowls with the San Francisco 49er's.
