They need to let Knight sling it. They live or die by his arm.

 

[joevol33]

Yeah but gave up 51 to Mizzou and 56 to TAM that year -- also over 30plus to SC and Ole Miss --- figure those out lol

Don't make sense!

 

[joevol33]

Did I hear that right... Blake Sims played the scout team role of Trevor Knight in practice? Thats a new one on me.

I saw that on Facebook.

 

[vols 30]

How do you figure that
? Last I looked next yrs class is ranked to 10.

Because of the size, not the stars

 

[508mikey]

Vernes happy

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Hope this is rhetorical.

Yes Jackson has video game stats but Hurts is playing big time in the best conference.

 

[Volswin98]

It's just a job man, do it! Haha

LOL- no I worked to hard for that position. I will take the blue off and put the orange on in the car.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Why are you here? We aren't playing this week so there's no new material on Jones for you to ***** about and we have plenty of other posts from you on the games we've played.

Dude hates Butch, the coaching staff and Tennessee in general. Just put his ignorant azz on ignore.

We will close strong. Butch has done that every year since he's been here. It will look much different come February IMO.

 

[KBVol]

Linebacker and CB are arguably the most important positions. Having Kirkland and Sutton out is devastating. Stop sugar coating it man.

Sugar coating it? Lol. We're down 3-4 key starters, 4 years into Jones' tenure, after 1 top 20 recruiting class, 1 top 15 class and 2 top 5 classes.....and we give up 438 yards rushing?? Come on man.

If it was 238 yards and we competed and put up a fight and we could see that our guys were in position to make a play then ok, I got you, and I'm not writing these posts. But come on...our defense looked like Sunseri was back in town and our offense, particularly our OL, brought back memories of 2014. Who exactly is sugar coating here? It ain't me.

I'd rather see his posts and call him on his blatant BS😬

 

[maotai]

Wow.

I may have to take them off my ignore list.

But you cannot expect the guys that are 2nd and 3rd stringers that never get any playing time to come in during the bama game and "all of a sudden" are world beaters can you??!

Your logic is flawed. Experience is what matters, not stars.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I'm convinced that Nick Saban has made a deal with the devil.

But I thought he is the Devil?

 

[wmcovol]

Playing AM on same 8thweek in the schedule after 7 earlier games as they did last yr vs Tennessee. "tired" was the excuse last yr.

 

[Bryan1]

They are idiots, that stadium would be empty by now if it was 19 point lead the other way.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Because all their starters are healthy. Makes a huge difference more than you think it does. Our defense in that Bama game was 3rd and 4th stringers.

Don't try to rationalize things for him. It doesn't work

 

[eskimovol]

They rotated a lot of backups into our game this year. Hurts to say that but its true. They were still winning last year, except for ole miss, but not blowing teams out nearly as bad as this season.

 

[Power T-Rev]

But I thought he is the Devil?

So he made a deal with himself?

 

[508mikey]

and after the game ...

 

[VFLBerg]

Just saw it announced that Alabama DB Eddie Jackson out with broken foot.

Hate to hear that. He is a great player.

twss boom

Lmao clueless as usual

Why argue with a middle schooler?

Experience certainly helps.....but so does talent and coaching.

We're supposedly a top 10 football team with some outstanding recruiting classes the last 4 seasons. I would expect there to certainly be some fall off from our best players/starters to our backups.

But under absolutely no circumstances, would I ever expect that losing 3-4 starters would mean that we give up 14 rushes from Bama or anybody else where none of our defensive players laid a hand on anybody until 10+ yards down field. And I certainly can't believe any fan could be good with allowing Bama their most rushing yards in 22 years....438 yards.

I'm not trying to be unreasonable here and I honestly don't think I have been. Again, did I expect to shut or slow down Bama given our injuries? No. But who in the world thought or now should be okay with what we saw last week vs Bama? Again, we gave up 438 yards rushing.
