High praise from McElroy

We have not been able to win big games without outscoring the opponent. We can now win a tight game with a defense that steps up. The offense intentionally slows it down when the D needs a rest. Complimentary football vs. trying to boat race everyone. Love it!

Wow he's really done a 180 from his Nico and Vitello comments this offseason hasn't he?

I think he said it all. Watch , enjoy, rinse, and repeat.

We slowed it down due to field conditions and having another tackle out, but your right we can slow it down and still pass or speed it up. Our D is just tough, I had many on here say we couldn’t play that tough a D in up tempo. That is no true, but being able to go fast and slow does help and makes defending us even tougher. Folks are finding out there is more to Heupel than a all out passing attack, but teams will be wise to not underestimate it either. We can still fling it, and we can run it too! GBO

Yes, hard to win games if you can't outscore the opponent. Profound.

It is our ONLY current question mark.

He’s trying make up for his comments.

You know what I meant. We had to score last to win because the Defense couldn't stop anyone. Bet you're fun at parties.....

Our defense needs to get at least one score a game. They got a safety and we won

Trying not to get cancelled. Lack of NFL contracts makes him desire a paycheck.

I don’t know if anyone noticed it and maybe I’m wrong, but it looked like Oklahoma tried to run up-tempo, and it did not affect our defense at all. Another advantage of practicing against our offense.

They definitely did in the beginning and then went away from it when it didn't work. Early 1st quarter from what I recall.

I still think we don't have the offensive depth to stay with Ga and Bama

It will take an entirely healthy offensive line as well as a few turnovers for us to come out on top against these two.

Will we have Heard for the game at Arky?

 

[Vfl2407]

CJH is required to give a one word status the Wednesday before each game.
my guess for next Wed: Campbell probable and Heard (once again) Questionable.

We beat Bama by 17 in the loudest stadium in the known world come October 19

Nicely put.

Actually, McElroy has been high on Tennessee even before the first Kickoff. Rated them #10 Preseason. Greg (thus far) has been the only one right about this Tennessee teams' potential.

 

[Volnuck]

McElroy is kissing up after his negative comments on Tony Vitello and Tennessee fans. Whatever our team does, they can and will accomplish it without any help or praise from a guy spewing podcast poison Like Greg. (Just my opinion). I like hearing differing opinions, even on Tennessee, but Greg took personal shots at our coach and program making them sound ignorant and unworthy.

One score a game? Why

 

[VOLINVONORE]

One score a game? Why

Why not? Players on defense love to score. it makes them more hungry to make big plays.
