Apparently, we didn't impress Arky State fans

I was poking fun at arkie state. Just like I do the hogs. I wasn't being literal. Apparently I found a arkie state alum that took offense

I generally stay out of the football forum. What I know to be fact about football can be put on a 3x5 index card.

All I do know, is I saw a vast improvement on the field Sunday. I'm very happy.

Yes they did look very good. Fast on both sides of the ball. They just need to make the run their first priority Saturday I would think. I'm not to concerned like most seem to be. They exposed utah state secondary so they stuck with the pass. Always go with the Hott hand.

I hope we see some chunk yardage from the running game Saturday.

And people wonder why the term "negavol" gets used so much.

This was in fact a big win. Not because it was Utah St but because of the tone it sets for the remainder of the season. Confidence and belief goes a long way and thats what this game gave our team. It was also an impressive win. I've learned to appreciate any and all of our wins, maybe you should too?

And with the goal of a bowl game and winning record, every win is big.

The more I think about this comment, the more it aggravates me...

Why does his OPINION mean more than mine.

Because he's played the game, fair enough..


What you and the like fail to understand is

IT WAS A SHOT AT ARKIE STATE.

CALM DOWN.

Most are saying that they weren't impressed at all with our team. They said USU made too many mistakes and made it easy for us.

Many acknowledged that our defense was much improved and looked really good. They were raving about AJ Johnson

Majority said our offense was not impressive and Worley didn't look all that good.

Commented on North, Pig, and Pearson not gaining separation from DB's

Most are saying they have a good chance of upsetting us because we just had a big win and are going to overlook them before heading to Norman

Much the same way we would be overlooking Bearden HS?

It did appear that we were more pass first in the opener. But from what I've read, Bajakian was very vanilla in his play calling.

I went to lunch today Vol hat on as usual, had three different people I did not know tell me Arkie state would beat UT this weekend. I just laughed and told them they were getting as delusional as Hog fans.

He played within his system and "did his job". Get used to it. What he did is more or less what Jones' O asks a QB to do. Manage the game, make the throws, run a couple of times per game,....

Who are those "some"? Worley has been criticized, belittled, and dismissed by many here for months. Even those who were supportive were relieved to see him play that well.


Sorry. But that is flat out ridiculous. You just discredited any other argument you might try to make. That comment indicates blatant, blind bias...

So..... I don't think Worley is the second coming of a Heisman trophy candidate and the best QB in team, if not NCAA history in Manning or the player that led the Vols to it's only national title in most of our lifetimes and my arguments are "discredited" ?

Who exactly put you in charge of everyone's opinion on here anyway?

Suggs threw interceptions on the out plays. Worley had no turnovers. Bad comparison.

Arm strength and relying on a short passing game.

it's an apt comparison.

You guys don't like a dissenting opinion that doesn't just pump sunshine after one week.

What Hill did was phenomenal, no discounting about it. It was a show for the ages. But you can't make a blanket statement about yards, which you originally did, when one had 40% more attempts. Maybe Worley and Co. break a few big ones and he throws for 700 yards who knows.

The AJ Suggs comparison is not only insulting it's completely off basis. AJ didn't even earn the starting job to begin the season and then lost the job to a true FR like 5 games into the season and took his ball and went home after that. Worley's already achieved more than AJ ever did at UT.

You must have missed the LSU game in 2000.

Suggs, like Worley, got his stats off of short passes and volume of throws, not being able to hit many deep balls or wow anyone with his arm strength.

A reasonable opposing fan with a self deprecating sense of humor?

And I actually made no blanket statement whatsoever about yardage in my original post.

Simply stated that Worley was lost in the shuffle after Hill's performance.

273 yards just aint that impressive in the context of what Hill did to a much better opponent Thursday night.

If the game wouldnt have been a one sided easy victory and more of a offensive shootout I would have expected more Worley yards. But they simply werent needed

I feel your pain, man. I'm in the western part of AR and it's just as bad over here considering I'm about an hour from Jonesboro. Hog fans are salty already this year.

I need to calm down? What was offensive/provocative about my post?

Just thought your post was unnecessary and didn't know if you knew who you were replying to or not.

Obviously you know and don't care so your loss IMO.
