Back on the Heup Train

[BernardKingGOAT]

Sadly, every one of those bombs were open and should have been TDs or at least completed. If the coach schemes and calls a play and the QB just misses, then it cripples your playbook if your star player cannot execute.

So close. They were great play calls because the receiver was open every time

I remember in '21 when we saw players schemed open but we just couldn't execute. I knew then we had a good coach and we simply needed time.

 

[Nationdom]

I hope we don’t run off the best coach we’ve had since Fulmer

He will get run off if he doesn’t beat the big 3. I think we will sweep them this year. If loses to Alabama, the seat will warm. Not saying he gets run off this year but if he doesn’t beat the other two this year and next. Hes gone.

Huep called a good game, Nico is still a freshman.

Heup called a good game ?? I must have been watching another game. I think his play calling sucks.

 

[volfan102455]

I have no problem with Coach Heup. I think some expect the offensive production every game, but sometimes your defense has to be a factor.

You do realize that the big 3 are no longer the big 3.

 

[VolFan4Life87]

Somebody posted in the game thread that our offense is nothing but run up the middle and bombs and they were spot on

Don’t forget the WR screen passes that get sniffed out 90% of the time, cb’s thankfully miss the tackle behind the LOS more often than not.

 

[TXbenVol]

We beat them 3 times in the last 20 years. 2 of those came under Heup. Fk you NegaVols.

ENJOY THE WIN!!!!

Folks, thinking like this is why we can’t have nice things…

Gaston Moore could run it better!

I suspect you might, might, might be right. I'd like to see him in there, and believe sometime during the Bama game, or after we will. Only because I think his experience will allow him to handle blitzes better and avoid turning over the ball so frequently.

 

[Big Orange stuck in Bama]

I'm not. We just out talented them. He got outcoached bad

In what ways was he out coached? Comments like that have no basis, you are just making noise, nothing of any value

 

[Behr]

Somebody is back on the Hype train.


And somebody's not even close.

Are you serious? Did you watch the first half?

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Shocker...I know it's not the 20 point win you wanted, but you also were saying we were going to lose all week.

After the Arkansas debacle how in the world could you blame me?

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

We have different perspectives. You have a few years to learn some things

I'm probably way older than you. I've competed my entire life. Just because I'm not sunshine and rainbows you have some weird addiction with following me around commenting and taking shots. You don't know me, shut up.

 

[LWSVOL]

Heupel has to make his system more QB friendly. He has had 3 QBs so far at UT and only one has looked comfortable in his offense....and Nico was supposedly built for his system.

If he doesnt figure out his offense, he isnt going to work out here.

He is just a redshirt freshman and being exposed to SEC football. The experience will make him better.

 

[DaddyChad]

Gaston Moore could run it better!

Backup qb is always better until he gets in. Moore has looked like garbage in a few spots we’ve seen him in and it was against lackluster competition.

 

[Hairy Vols]

Rough night but that is how we win against Florida.

Worry about the future some other day. We are just improved to 7-24 over the past 32 years from 6-24.

Is Heupel now 2-2 against them? He seems to be the best coach we’ve had against Florida since… Majors? Ever? lol.

 

[GleasonVol]

Going for it and making it on our own 10 was solid brass

BALLS!!

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Josh Heupel now has more wins against Florida than Lane Kiffin, Derek Dooley, Butch Jones, & Jeremy Pruitt had combined.

That seems about right to me. Seems like a lot of us tried to tell you things like this when the above mentioned coaches were at the helm...

 

[volgr]

He is getting worse each game, not better. He was dreadful Saturday night. Again, if it was an experience thing, then explain how Milton couldnt run the offense.

Milton was just OK as a QB.

You may never see someone run the offense as well as Hooker did. He was special in this offense and not so much in the VAT offense. and that is a problem because people have an expectation that ever QB should do that.

That's a sad really low bar to get over but glad he is starting to change the record some.

If you ever want to see the Vols make the playoffs, the QB absolutely has to be able to run the offense as well as Hooker did.

 

[BruiserVol]

Beating Florida can’t hide three straight games of bad play calling and terrible clock management. His clock management leaves me scratching my head in two games straight now. Against Arkansas I watched a whole minute tick off the clock with three timeouts before he decided it was a good idea to start using them.
