Our Last Scoring Drive was Magnificent

[roberthunter]

Just a thing of beauty and a perfect example in how you put a game away.

First downs take more time off the clock than just running it up the middle 3 times and punting. Some absolutely beautiful pass calls to keep the drive going and Joe put the ball exactly where it needed to be. Major props to him for being clutch there. And Sampson looked great too.

I just really love that we ended it on our terms like that.

Agreed. A physical drive to chew clock, score, and finish the game. Sadly it will probably go under appreciated, but it was a thing of beauty indeed.

 

[Hunter10139]

Yep, it was a thing of beauty.

It was a statement drive by our OLine. I loved it! Don't give the opponent any chance to get back in the game. Run it down the other teams throats when they knew we were running. And converted some good third downs.

That was a knockout punch and its a morale boosting way to win the game instead of letting the other team go the distance with you.

 

[BradstarVols]

Thought the same thing. Joe looked superb on that drive.

Yes, most coaches would not have been that aggressive in that situation.

When we're clicking like that, I feel like we can beat anyone

Joe had some really good series tonight. Still had a 2-3 possessions where he lost his concentration which resulted in the two ints, Defense was the best it has been all season. Only a couple of missed assignments but recovered nicely. Squirrel had a really good nigh play with a really good catch on an under thrown ball when it was really needed. I hope Bru's injury is not serious but it did not look good.

The final drive reminded me of our final drive against LSU last year, where we ate up a whole bunch of clock, putting the game away. It was a great way to end a solid game. The defense was excellent, minus the 75 yard run. Overall, they played their best game of the season so far. I hope they continue to improve from here.

I wish we'd have scored again when we got it back with two minutes to go, Rattler threw a 20 yard td pass on us up 56-31 with 2 minutes to go last year. But I'm apparently more petty than our coaches.

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

Cooper coming back seemed to make a good impact.

 

[strkr]

I am glad they allowed Milton to make some throws during that drive and not be too conservative after his interception.

 

[VolBricks]

I thought the first scoring drive was also magnificent, 94 yds and a score after holding USCe to a punt on the first possession of the game.

I was wanting them to throw it deep all the way until the end

We seem to be a completely different team when playing at home.

We really need Keyton to step up and hopefully Nimrod and Webb, as I feel
Bru may be out for a while (prayers for him).

 

[gnm53108]

I think that time out they called with 5 mins to go pissed em off. We were up 2 scores. Had just ran up the middle. Could have ran twice more and gotten a field goal to go back up 3 scores. It was after that time out that we passed for a 1st down. Loved putting the nail in the coffin right after.

 

[SpookyAction]

Cooper coming back seemed to make a good impact.

He was definitely running the show prior to the OLine setting in 3-pt stance.
They looked sharp.
Huge impact.

I disagree. The way we played against Florida, I felt like that is exactly what we looked like against AP.

Last night they looked the best they have all season, especially the defense.

James Pierce, Jr. Is a sophomore! Imagine that!

Agree. Beautiful to watch. Dominant drive by Joe, O Line, the backs.
