For those who asked... Josh Smith gif

[P.O.T.S. VOL]

It was awesome seeing that no doubt!

Just curious though, from a coaching stand point do you discourage this type of move for fear of risking greater injury?

NO!

 

[Eddie Vol Halen]

I like just watching #3 lunge at air. :lol:

I like how #3 then bolts straight upright and turns around as if to say, "Did that really happen?"

Or he could have been hoping like heck someone tackled Josh afterwards.

Who is that.....X4 comes into the screen right at last of play ...his number looks like either 34 or 84. Reeves Maybin not on offense and Woody Quinn has not played as far as I know????

I'm not good at going back and attaching links but... Who was the idiot on here a week or two ago saying Josh Smith was just an average athlete was subpar hands. Lol! There were several of is (myself included) making an argument that he was an incredibly explosive athlete. He was like all these other WR's are faster than him bla, bla, bla

 

[Orangedogsrule]

Thank you, thank yo verra much!

Worley, #14

If they had blocked #54 it would have been a touchdown. Hurdled 1st, spin move on the 2nd, but caught by the 3rd. Blockers got to help...

VP could have made the end zone as well on the first long throw if he had accelerated and allowed the blocker (I believe it was PH) to do his job instead of slowing up and allowing the 2nd defender to get into the play.

Great stuff and this team will get better. May not be better enough to help this week but they play the games for a reason.

Go Vols! Take the fight to OU and keep it there for 60 mins

 

[Eugene Hetalia]

Notice #3 on defense had good technique, but got roasted. Josh is very athletic! #GBO!

If 54 hadn't been trailing behind, Smith shook the 2nd tackle and would've scored.

As long as he got his butterfingers issue resolved he should be a major contributor this year. Seems like he always finds a way to get open

His hands I think were how he got open. No need to cover last year! Now he's turned the corner imo

Wow. Sometimes I bet the players wish they were not on tv. Imagine a helmet cam view of the bottom of his cleats.

Wish Raijon Neal and Poole had seen this. They were always looking for a soft spot in the turf.

 

[cusincousin]

[American Pig]

I like just watching #3 lunge at air. :lol:

Yep, that's a hoot. He jumped up and spun around like he couldn't believe he missed. He went for a perfect midsection tackle and the guy disappeared like a ghost.

Great picture

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

I like just watching #3 lunge at air. :lol:

Yeah, Smith owned that dude. :yu:

 

[GrowVol]

Even after hurdling dude...Josh, in the air, saw another defender coming......then lowered his shoulder while coming down. We have some amazing athletes on our team. J Smith is definitely one of them. Thx Freak

 

[Larkin]

Thanks Freak, I like the defender grasping for air, but my favorite part is Josh helping the defender along with a smooth back kick.

 

[jarnol32]

Athlete!

That one is better than mine. I couldn't find sharp footage.
