Recruiting Football Talk VII

[JCP201]

I wish we could release a compilation of non calls and just stir up attention.

It has to change.

It’s ruining the game.

Definitely- plus the clock moving in the fourth quarter doesn't allow a comeback. It's so the network can show more commercials--helps nothing.

OK. One more comment: In every ballgame there are critical momentum changing plays. IF the holding is called on the TD throw. It's 1st and 20 and a huge mental letdown having their first big play called back. Changes the entire momentum of the game. The phantom "fair-catch" call compounds the issue creating an Offensive possession where all you can do is try not to turn it over. Were the coaches or players perfect? No. That doesn't change the fact that you walk into the stadium in Tuscaloosa down 14 pts. Only thing to do is build on the positives and take it out on Kentucky.

Reading that quote was just frustrating as hell. I can excuse poor play sometimes but I can’t ever excuse lack of effort. It’s Alabama and we had players admitting that they basically gave up and thought it was over. Heupel’s inability to motivate his team to play on the road for 4 full quarters consistently is just….I don’t know. Frustrating. I’m still hot from the loss, but in the heat of the moment there are just a lot of things to question after that collapse.

Can't count how many times I've heard players and coach say the streaks don't matter, they weren't here for it. And then completely wiff to the same teams that other coaches and players lost to.

same thing last week

But apparently that isn’t Milton’s fault. Yet keeps happening with him because he can’t hit open receivers.

Did Milton have some good plays today? Yup he sure did. He was also bailed out by amazing catches today.

You could see we didn’t come out to play the second half at all.

I don’t know how that’s possible.

It’s a rivalry game on the road. How do you not compete for 60 minutes.

Really pathetic to play not to lose. Wish we had a better killer instinct and played to win and even played to dominate.

Team doesn’t believe in their QB. It’s obvious and why would you

 

[SugarCC]

Joe completed 68% of his passes for 271 yds 2 TDs and 0 ints….. He also ran for 59 yds…. I’m not a big Joe supporter anymore but it is ridiculous to blame him for this outcome.

While I agree, the strip was my last straw with him. YOU. JUST. CAN'T. DO. THAT period

The edge not only hesitated his rush, he stumbled, and STILL got there. Again, no awareness whatsoever.

i think it just comes down to execution.

he either makes the wr make a highlight play, missed them, or doesn't see them.

its like he remembers the first 15 minutes of the dress rehearsal then forgets everything after that.

Bama made adjustements to play calling, and defense just **** the bed. Same old same old.

I have zero confidence in us, on the road, versus Missouri. We give up on the run waay too easily.

We should best them running away, I just dont think we do.

[Vols2DaWall]

That Herring quote is a cover up IMO. They were getting blown off the ball on both lines

 

[Jackcrevol]

 

[Smokey123]

Refs sucked and it greatly benefited Bama. Huep got outcoached and it was insanely disappointing and cost us the game. Both can be true at the same time

 

[TheRain]

A talent like Nico can take over a game. We destroy Bama at Neyland next year.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Lmaoooooooo dont get your hopes up, Heupel has proven, hes gonna be a solid 7-10 win coach, but hes not a championship winner.

I mean. He’s right. They just have to make in game adjustments. Bama adjusted at half, we didn’t adjust to what they brought.

 

[TheRain]

Lmaoooooooooo

Then go cry about it.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Team doesn’t believe in their QB. It’s obvious and why would you

Come on. Stop it. We were up 20-7 at half coming off the best half of football of Joe Milton’s career. If the team can’t “believe” in their QB up 20-7 in Tuscaloosa, then this team is a bunch of mental midgets. The lack of effort and edge has nothing to do with Milton.

 

[Rishvol]

Aka we know Tennessee got screwed

 

[turdherder11]

Don't really understand why he isn't playing this year, but whatever.

 

[Smokey123]

Lmaoooooooo dont get your hopes up, Heupel has proven, hes gonna be a solid 7-10 win coach, but hes not a championship winner.

He’s only in year 3 and lost our 3 best players from last year relax. We really don’t know if he’s a championship kind of coach or not yet. We do know he can beat, which is key if you wanna win a championship

 

[turdherder11]

Always next year.....

 

[volbeast33]

He's said last year when asked about Golesh. That they collaborate.

when he at UCF…. he said that he calls all the plays…. doubt he gave it up when he moved up to a harder conference unless he really trusted the guy.

 

[Jackcrevol]

huepel is a helluva coach. i hate to say it. but they lack of recruiting of big name dudes on the lines hurts.

we have up on the run. tennessee shouldvr come away with more points in the opportunities it had

 

[SpringBokVol]

Good first half, Joe responded well to his bad game against A&M. Just couldn’t get the running game going today for the RBs.

Defense fading in the 2nd half was unexpected.

Like Heupel no comment on officiating, it’s not going to improve or change anytime soon.

Didn’t see us losing the line scrimmage on both sides in the second half.

All of a sudden we had zero push and no pressure

 

[TheRain]

Always next year.....

Yeah, when next year is possibly the best QB in the game. It won't be the same.
