Offense

[tmodaniel]

Why didn't we try and throw the long ball, we ran well in the first quater untill UAB moved to 8 men in the box and shut down the run. We should have attacked them deep. I know that we were dropping passes but we had a few oppertunities to go deep and didn't. We needed to take the pressure off Riggs and open the D up. :dunno:

 

[LadyinOrange]

With interceptions occurring what seemed like every five minutes, I guess the coaches felt safer grounding it out. I dunno. But we did win.
That's the main thing.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Rick dosen't have the arm to really stretch it. After yesterday, I'm not too sure that I want Eric trying it.

 

[volmanjr]

keep your eyes open for the stretch in 2 weeks

 

[bleedingorange]

our offense looks like it is in trouble once again, we have no identity except we throw a lot of screens and like to run up the middle alot , ut fans get ready for a 8-3 or 7-4 season

Do you really think this is what we are gonna throw at the UF defense in 2 weeks?

or...

Can you see that the GREAT URBAN MEYER has absolutely nothing to get his defense to prepare for after watching this game film?

I agree with you on the screens. But running up the middle is a good call and we should do it. I hope we will do more of a veticle attack in the air. But more importantly we need to keep the starter in. That is when we started going sour. But I still think we will beat UF. I think we can all agree that for once bammers are doing the right thing by NOT playing UAB.

I just don't understand why people are saying this. They played mostly deep cover 2 the whole day. When the defense plays deep zone coverage, what do you expect us to do, throw it deep into double coverage???

When the deep ball was there, we took our shots: Remember Ainge hitting about a 30 yarder from his own goal line? Remember the game clinching play when Clausen went deep for a 53 yard gain? Remember the post route that Clausen hit for the TD right before the half?

Ainge sure did. :birgits_giggle:

 

[checkerboard_charly]

well, uab played a soft zone, which all but eliminated the deep ball. we could have thrown it but didnt. we took what they gave us. remember this was uab not florida, or georgia or alabama. our coaches had to see what we had. that is why we play mid majors for the first game. we will be fine. we have tons of talent and we will open it up. TRUST ME.

It's not like he can't get a tape of the Cotton Bowl or any other game we played last season. It's not like we have changed our offense either. I just don't see this hiding the offense from Urban. With exception of a few things, what we saw yesterday IS UT's offense......JMO

Like 2 poker players, the Fulmer/Meyers showdown is coming our way.

Do you really think what you saw yesterday was the hand Fulmer is taking to Gainesville with him? Sure, UM can get the cotton bowl tape from January. ANd he will get a good look at RC. He can go back to last years UT/UF game and get a good look at Ainge, handing the ball off to Cedrick Houston, and very little of Gerald Riggs.

Point is NOBODY has saw the 2005 Tennessee Offense yet. We saw a glimpse of it yesterday. Just a glimpse.

Let UM think this is what we have in store for him. ALl the better. Because we are UT fans, doesnt mean CPF is gonna show us what he has. Im an American citizen, but it still doesnt give me the right to see whatever secret military weapon we have in our arsenal.

 

[OWB]

No I'm sure that we won't have the same gameplan. My point is that Tennessee football is Tennessee football. I just don't think that we're going to see a drastic change from what we saw yesterday.

The change I would like to see is turning the poor execution into good execution. That would be a start.

 

[volbrian]

With great execution, a team can run 10 plays and beat anybody. Thats why there are more than 10 plays in any playbook. When something isnt working, you go to something else. The more you have to chose from, the more an offense will create confusion in a defense (causing coverage breakdowns).

Ill admit, the execution yesterday was pathetic. But, you'll see a lot more plays thrown at UF than you did at UAB.

 

[volbrian]

btw, Nebraska is the only team that really excelled at execution in their heyday. If you went up against them, you knew exactly what you needed to do to stop them. Yet, most teams couldnt stop them.

 

[tmodaniel]

UAB had 2 man coverage during the second and third quater shuting down riggs in the first and fourth they didn't allow him to tare them up.

that's beatiful when a team can do that.

It is Freak. I really have a lot of respect for NU in thier heyday. No matter how bad I wanted to see them lose, they just ran the ball down your throat and made you chew on it. You saw it coming, but couldnt do anything about it.

 

[Freak]

One of the most physical football teams I ever watched.

Even Fulmer isn't dumb enough to hold back in a 17-10 game that, if you lose, wipes you out of BCS contention. What you saw is what you get.

Sorry to tell you but UT only ran 8 plays on offense, didn't show any blitzes on defense except for the standard blitz

Believe me, if UAB scores to tie that game with 2 minutes left, he pulls something out of the bag.

But you go ahead, along with the rest of the Gator nation and believe that is our entire offense. :devilsmoke:

No it doesn't wipe us out of BCS competition. The game against UAB has no effect on the conference standings, and if we win we can still get that auto-bid to the Sugar Bowl.
