Here is why the offense was terrible.

[Allvols1996]

Which is it troll?
The 5* they been stacking for years
Or
Heupel ?

of you want to discuss the game, let me know. If you want to call people names, I’m out. I guess that’s the theme around here.

Kind of my point. Feel free to go back and watch the sacks and youl will see a similar pattern each time. No safety valve. Lots of green grass in the flat.

But sure, if it makes you feel better, please.

Are you really this much of a glutton for punishment? You honestly don't see that you are a minority of one on this thread? Keep pushing your message, maybe someone will take pity on you. They just outplayed us and the pressure and late shifts kept our line that has been dominant all year our of sync. Do you really feel our coach is a clueless as you are trying so hard to points out? So I guess the rest of the year has just been smoke and mirrors.

You don't need to take pics of your TV or point to know what happened. The offense was bad because UGA had the personnel to be physical with the WRs and Jalen Carter was eating blockers which created huge protection issues. Sprinkle in presnap penalties and communication issues and we scored 13 points.

After #2 left the game, we were screwed. No offense to Wright but there is a reason he backs up Small, that makes a diff. My presumption is the frosh Samford will red shirt, since we have not seen the kid. It would seem that Sampson is for the future and after a year of bulking up may be ready next year. Sampson is a 4.32 40 guy - he's Hyatt fast. But like most Frosh struggles to pick up protection. We are right now winning with a QB that was a backup at Va. Tech, he's a gamer but he struggles with accuracy, can't seem to throw the ball away and save yard, slow- but he's the best we have right now.
EXAMPLE was when we scored he hit Hyatt who had his man beaten by 10 yards, the ball was underthrown causing Hyatt to stop and reach back for the ball, killing a TD that would have resulted had the QB thrown it in front slightly. We would have gotten TD off that play saving time on the clock. By this time he should be able to recognize and throw a back shoulder throw. When the DB is running in front of the receiver - No slight on Hooker, doing the best he can, but he is a product of Hype and NOT an elite QB. Our elite QB set's foot on campus next year- JUST MY OPINION

 

[Pride85]

I’d challenge you to go back and watch the film. Very obvious patterns. UGA blitzed. Blitzing provides huge opportunities. Heupel had Hooker standing like a statue and did not use the flats all night. Facts. Prove me wrong.

I give you this credit, you are dedicated to your message.

Nobody is talking about that, but there's no doubt that Small gets snaps as much for pass protection as anything else. They were eating us alive with pressure.

I’ll put this out here once. The thread title is “why the offense was terrible,” not, “Fire Heupel.”

I think Heupel deserves all the credit for what he has accomplished. I stayed very clearly that I did not expect to win the game. I did expect our offense to perform. It didnt. Was that solely the difference in The talent on the field? No. This is/was the #1 offense in the nation. Heupel was specifically asked if he had his team ready for the crowd noise. He said he did. Clearly that wasn’t the case.

I pointed out actual evidence, that even after all the problems, and having time to make adjustments, that they were not taking advantage of what UGA was giving us. The flats. Our scheme is very good at creating space in the flats because of the wide splits and how much we push the ball down field.

So, how does an observation from this game mean I don’t acknowledge what the team has accomplished to this point? Why are there so many people on this forum who get beyond butt hurt over this? Geez.

I wasn’t on here saying UT would put up 50 on Georgia. Is that the majority you’re a part of??

Stalking. Please don't stalk other posters by repeatedly responding to his/her posts for the sole purpose of ridiculing, mocking, insulting, or flaming. For those with the urge to stalk others, the ignore user feature may be helpful. Also, please refrain from creating threads to "call out" other posters.

You can't claim stalking when you are actively involved in arguing with thr vast majority of posters who are pointing out the flaws of your argument. You state that Heupel had a bad game plan, but refuse to accept the fact that Smart had a better one. We got smacked in the face and could not find a way to overcome against a superior team. I didn't create a thread to bash you, just responded to your many posts defending your extremely minority stance. The stop posting argument could easily be applied to you when this occurs.

 

[CAVPUT]

Some of the schemes we didn't adjust well to. There's plenty of blame. Coaches certainly could have helped, but we got whipped physically. Like bad. Add in all the previous snap penalties, a rattled Hooker and a beat down on both lines.

Coaching staff isn't blameless, but it was a group effort. They were the better team.

Not sure what fans expect a coach to do when your team plays like they did on the OL. No magic scheme or play calling will overcome playing a superior opponent on their field with turnovers and penalties galore. We're just fortunate to get out of that game with Hooker still in one piece and upright. With him, we've still got opportunities this season. With the way the OL played, I'm shocked he survived the first half much less the entire game. With all that pressure, Hooker looked very human/average yesterday.

Discussing. I’m glad to discuss the content of what I shared. Calling me a troll and then saying I’m in the wrong for pointing this out is the biggest case of the WTH I can imagine.

 

[macrovol]

It was the false starts. Might be a different story WHEN we play them again on a neutral field.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Yes, we need better RB. Georgia blitzed at will, knowing our 200 or so pound RBs couldn’t protect.

In general, that was an exhibition of a physically superior team executing a smart game plan. Give the other team credit.

And give us credit for fighting for 60 mins. Because in previous years, we lose 42-6.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Doesn't take much for negaVols and bandwagon Vols to go into fault-finding mode, does it?

 

[allvol123]

That's the point the OP was trying to make and I think J.Small got injured early and never returned. I don't think CJH or CAG trust J.Wright catching passes in the flat, Wright isn't a good blocker either. Hopefully we have good receiving backs in our future with Sampson and Williams. A Kamara-type back would have been effective in this game imo.

I don’t think it matters who is in there, I don’t recall seeing a screen all year.

 

[VolByBirth]

Heupel is 44, in Year 2, and over-achieving based on any metric anyone put in place for UT.
I don’t like this loss —- but I like this loss long-term. I think CJH is the man, and he needs to get smacked in the mouth a few times to learn what it takes to survive in the SEC. He’ll learn from this and come back stronger and better for the long term. We’re here to stay but not without a few speed bumps. Expecting anything else is fantasy.

I will stop posting after this because it is obviously affecting you negatively. I apologize for any anguish my posts may have caused you. You also have to understand that a post like yours right after a very tough loss will elicit and argument. You got multiple responses detailing why the gaps in the scheme you pointed out were there and why the defensive scheme by Smart made them occur. You continued to argue your point and most, myself included battled back against you. You continued to point out an unpopular message and then claim stalking against those who were just as passionate the other way. You can't have it both ways. You point out the ignore button, and believe me I have used it enough, but stopping the posts from your side is also an option. Again, I apologize for my over exuberant responses. Have a blessed rest of the weekend.

We screen to the outside, but we definitely rarely if ever screen to RBs. Not sure if that’s a philosophy or a Personnel thing.

I literally can’t recall a RB screen all year. Has to be a philosophy thing. I visit the idea though, especially in a rematch. There is a lot of open space when you are blitzing and play man to man.

 

[VolRage]

Those best passes Bennet made all year. He had 1 WR wide open. But there was 2 more that led to TD’s that our guy was perfectly covered but it was dropped in a bucket at 50 yards. If either one of
The balls are couple inches off they are incompletions. Also they had that rediclous 75 yard punt downed at the goal line that was a game changer at the time.

Yeah, somehow QB’s seem to have their best games against our Vols. Levis is the primary exception this year.

They’ve done some clever things with Fant this year, but that seemed to be no where in the game plan last night.

 

[youre no daisy]

dont misunderstand me on this , #1 most importantly we got out played they were the better team. and not that they needed help but they damn sure got help from the refs all game ,and no im not saying the refs are why we lost but it did hurt us,they were slow as sh*t spotting the ball even before the rain,they held the ball and let them sub even when we didnt,and the way i understand it if the ball is in the air its pi not def holding ,at least 2 of those should have been 15 yarders,and 1 or 2 of the false starts i didnt see could have been tb , or wr i didnt see it on the line ,sorry for the rant but damn let the boys play ,and decide the game ,hopefully this lights a fire under our ass for the coming weeks ,GO VOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Clayton]

Two overthrown passes for touchdowns and we are tied.

This is what happens when you are constantly pressured or sacked. UGAs defense made Hooker look bad. Hew was used to being able to have time in the pocket and play against teams without a disciplined secondary. UGA totally controlled both sides of the ball. The game wasn't near as close as the score suggest

I called you a troll. Not just because of this post, but all your posts. You're new to the site this year, claim to be a Tennessee fan, but do nothing but put us down. Explain how you're not a troll.

 

[Copperjohnny]

I'd fahr ever one of 'em.

 

[allvol123]

LSU scored their first TD last night with it. Not even a screen, no blockers, just a back slipping out instead of picking up the blitz.
