Overachieved

[Vol865]

I'll take it. We can't be complacent if we actually want to win a playoff sometime soon though.

 

[Coachmike17]

The two worst calls were the facemask penalty in the first half and the horse collar call later. Good grief, it's football, let em play

John Campbell needs to never see the field again. That dude has mental problems!

 

[Vol8188]

I t

hought he made his point turd Ferguson.

So his point was that our team is similar in that regard to every other team?

Weird/useless

Lmao how dare our line finish plays.

 

[DC_Vol]

There were people that really posted “this game is over” after the first play of the Vandy game.

Losers

Heup took over a dumpster fire and 4 years later he's 36-14. The man is one helluva HC

72% winning percentage ain’t bad!

I think you are right, albeit with some reservations. I would have liked to see Matthews playing more earlier.

Shouting at the coach after the dumb penalty should get you benched.

 

[UTK]

Met my expectations. I expected 10-2.

There’s finishing then there’s just dumb ****. The play was well over lol

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

I for one am always looking for ways to improve. It’s not bad to trade up or bring in competition at all positions.

McCoy and Thornton went out today. Receivers were still open and caught most everything. We can run it as much as we want. The more we do that, the easier Nico's throws get. And Boy, did he play well today

 

[Kylo]

10 wins and a playoff birth, both are more than was expected in the preseason.

Y’all still wanna fire everyone?

You are exactly correct. Better than expected. I don't personally want to fire everyone. There does need to be a few changes in the mindset of some coaches.

The lack of preparation cannot be argued. Adjustments are typically not made in game. Too many runs up the gut and behind the line passes.

But they are clearly a quality staff.

Lmfao “adjustments are typically not made in game”….yet we are constantly winning the second half?

And we rarely throw passes behind the line this season.

Nico looked much better today. I agree.

He threw one long ball very short (terrible throw). Could have been a TD. He made a TD pass later in that series.

He missed Sampson short… could have taken it to house if in front of Dylan. I don’t recall outcome of that drive.

He didn’t see one receiver down the middle for a TD (and he had plenty of time) and ran down right side of field for 1st down. I don’t recall series outcome.

But I nitt pick. Very nice game from Nico. He needs to keep improving. Competition is coming.

I thought the roughing call was ******** also. Davia had the ball when Joseph hit him. JJ couldn’t see if he threw it.

 

[dduncan4163]

We return a lot of this team next year as well. Cooper Mays and the defensive line losses will hurt but most of the rest will return.

Nothing but Orange Skies ahead Hoss

Absolutely not but my expectation in year 4 was to:

Beat Alabama in Neyland
Beat Florida
Beat Oklahoma
Beat Vandy
Make the playoffs

It used to be go to Atlanta but who wants that anymore?

 

[bigdaddy]

Overachieving or not, there are times we could have and should have been better. I'm glad we're playoff bound, but we have a lot of room to improve and that's on the coaches to fix.

My thing is you can say that about any team at this point. Bama, UGA, Texas, osu, Oregon lsu

 

[hardyemt_p]

Hope we get to host, Neyland will be rocking!!!!

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

It would be our luck if the first playoff game features 5***** QB Cawk Blockley.

I sure wouldn't want to play in Atlanta. Let those other ones beat up one another

Yeah leave it up to the N (o) C (lue) A (bout) A (nything) organization to make teams want to avoid something that used to be so important.

 

[Gandalf]

The most amazing thing really is that Heupel did this after taking over from the WORST TEAM IN UT's 100 YEAR+ HISTORY - think about that a second. AND was under a cloud of sanctions that limited how may players we could even recruit. Astonishing really.

Yes. He looked better than any QB playing today so far

Nope. Just Elarbee.
