"Peyton Manning’s Josh Heupel comments will have Tennessee football fans hyped..."

[TAF]

Story by Matt Wadleigh

The Tennessee football program is set for a big year after an impressive 2022 season. The Volunteers finished 11-2 with an Orange Bowl victory over Clemson, and one of those losses came to Georgia, who wound up winning the national title. With lofty expectations for 2023 and Joe Milton set to be the starting quarterback, Tennessee Peyton Manning, who is returning to Knoxville as a professor, gave a ringing endorsement of Josh Heupel’s offense, per Chris Low of ESPN.

‘Lotta debate about what @coachjoshheupel‘s offense is/isn’t. Peyton Manning was direct when I asked him. “It just works. It’s effective. Look, good coaches run the offense and recruit players that can execute that offense. That’s the system, how it works, and you build off that.”‘

The Vols finished 3rd in points per game (46.1) and 3rd in yards per game (525.5) as Hendon Hooker electrified the country. He threw for 3,135 yards with 27 touchdowns and just two interceptions, adding another 430 yards and five scores in the rushing game before suffering a season-ending ACL injury in November. Now, Joe Milton is taking over for the Tennessee football program as the quarterback, and the offense that Josh Heupel runs showed they are talented enough to hang around in the tough SEC.

The Vols begin the season on September 2 against Virginia and then face Austin Peay the week after, with both games being at Rocky Top. After finishing 2nd in the SEC East a year ago, the expectations are high once again, and Peyton Manning’s comments on the offense run by Heupel will surely have fans and players feeling good ahead of the 2023 season.

Listen to the Professor
He is now officially wise

 

[McDad]

Yes, this generic overview has got me so pumped.

eta: don't hate. football season is around corner and I need to practice my sarcasm for FF game day threads.

In Fairness, Peyton, being gentleman he is, had very good things to say about each of our pervious three „stooges“ I mean „coaches“. So in and of itself, Peyton‘s endorsement isn’t particularly ground breaking. But he IS correct; this one‘s different

Speaking of Pruitt, Dooley, and Butch; I recently obtained a previously unpublished picture of them meeting at a recent coach‘s conference

That had to be an interesting conversation.

Don’t insult the three stooges by comparing them to Jeremy Pruitt.

“It just works. It’s effective. Look, good coaches run the offense and recruit players that can execute that offense. That’s the system, how it works, and you build off that.”‘

Very insightful.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Very insightful.

He‘s right. Football isn’t like figure skating where you get scored for complexity or style. You score more points, you win. Period. Anything else is meaningless. Heupel‘s „system“ scores a lot of points. Therefore it works

Did you expect him to say Omaha?

I think that photo is spurious. The three guys in the photo are clearly more intelligent than the aforementioned coaches.

 

[greenbacknative]

That had to be an interesting conversation.

They were all discussing how much they still draw from the university.

 

[jaxvol]

Clearly have Dooley IDed in this photo.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Very insightful.

It’s the attention to detail.

How did our offense finish the season ranked no1...narrowly beating out the buckeyes...and now somehow we were 3rd in scoring and 3rd in yardage???

Its extensively documented that we had the highest scoring offense in FBS right? I know this doesn't matter as far as it will not affect recruiting or our team moving forward....but TRUTH matters. Reality matters.

We have a HUGE problem in this country and world with people being completely FOS. From Russias "special operation" to idiots saying men can have babies to making up 47 fictional genders and pronouns to inentionally falsified and misleading data and studies on climate trying to convince everyone that "The SKY is FALLING!!".....the list is nearly endless.

TRUTH matters. Accuracy matters. The scientific method and repeatable, observable science matters. The government, media, academics and universities, politicians...everyone is so full of sheit these days it is truly ridiculous. Keep the BS out of football though. We have enough lies to deal with already.

That’s some good pot. Lay off for a couple of weeks.

 

[JohnSteed1974]

Peyton Manning is a class act all the way!

 

[casual-observer]

Where did Matt Wadleigh get his information from? The numbers were correct for Points Per Game (46.1) and Yards Per Game (525.5). But the Vols finished first in both categories, not third.

Ad hominem insults...the most common way to attack the messenger when you cannot factually dispute the message. Brilliant. Logical fallacies are lazy.

Thank you. My thoughts exactly. My only guess is that this guy included the FCS and Div3 teams perhaps? We were clearly no1 in FBS. Or he could just be FOS like many folks are these days...GO VOLS.

 

[Volador]

Coach Heupel is reminding me more and more of former New York Giants coach Bill Parcells. He had an offensive Game plan and ran it successfully without a lot of brand-name players. ( see Vinny Testeverde )

Nashville is not Rocky Top , last I heard, it is in Tennessee however and we almost always win when we play there.
