Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Rishvol]

I think CFB should go with a "preseason" like this but have the game against a FCS school and give them the normal payout. That can get rid of the FCS game of the week and still help out those schools

 

[UTProf]

Damn, then they only would have lost 30-27.

Stoops flopping cost us another fg at the end so it would've evened out. It's hilarious it cost them a last possession but I don't think they'd have had time to do score anyway.

Let's go mizzou

I’ll take the action on lsu all day. Geaux tigahs

SIAP but this is ridiculous.

So, my early hot takes on this exhibition.
When it was announced I wasnt a fan of the transfers Barnes brought in.
1. Gainey has a more polished game than I anticipated, I thought he would come in just chucking like a wild man.
2. Knecht has more to his game than I thought, I was expecting a spot up shooter camping behind the 3 point line.

Shocked…

I don’t mean it in a Joe is just missing the open WR way.

I think Hookers mastery of the offense and the trust the coaches had in his decision making allowed them to run a lot more option routes and that he was part of them being able scheme guys open by checking into the right plays etc.

I watched UCF a lot when Heupel was head coach there because my wife is an alum, and while he’s always been able to dial up big plays and get guys open, last year was the best I’ve ever seen his offense look and I think Hooker deserves a lot of credit for that.

I agree with that.

 

[JT3]

At some point you have to take up for your players but the administration will not let him.

If that's true then our administration is enabling the poor officiating by being silent. CJH needs to say something with or without administration approval.

The actual number may be closer to last year but I would have to go back and track it for certain for this year. Hendon averaged over 6.18/game (68 in 11 games) from what I could find.

But I was moreso referring to our lack of scheming up open wide receivers compared to prior years which originated from my claim that we miss Golesh and me agreeing that playcalling has been "weird" this year.

i think it has more to do with us keeping it basic for Joe…. Similar to what Kiffin did for Crompton… It’s also why at times this year… we have been content to go to half time instead of pushing the ball like we did with Hooker.

 

[RikidyBones]

Michigan State getting away with more physicality than we are.

 

[Orange.]

Levis is so bad at beating Tennessee it’s unreal.

 

[Brillovol]

Random thought.

UK player doesn’t get hurt at the end, we kick the FG, end up winning 36-27, and the perception of the game is far more positive.

 

[Rishvol]

That was filthy

 

[VolGee4]

Dalton Knecht!

 

[jakez4ut]

That boy good..

 

[knoxvol52]

That was filthy

To hell with defense if he can produce like that....

 

[Orange.]

So Kentucky was so bad at QB they had to use Bowden from WR

Then Levis sticks his entire career and has this outing as a pro…

Then Devin Leary goes from a Unitas finalist to dog poop….


Kids, what have we learned today about Mark Stoops development at QB?

 

[jmacvols1]

If that's the same play I saw last night, they called holding against US the very next play.

 

[Weezer]

Me in my 20's would have absolutely done that. Hell, me in my 30's as well. But me almost 50, after a liver transplant and a broken back..... My heart says yes, but my brain says, "Are you effin crazy??"

 

[you]

Gonna be some crickets in here if Levis is actually good

I ain’t asking for my fan card back… do t care what he does

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

It makes me proud to say this in 2023. Our offense won the game for us yesterday when our defense wasn’t at its best! That’s huge on the road in the SEC.

 

[csprig9]

Gonna be some crickets in here if Levis is actually good

Screw Levi’s lol
Falcons aren’t world beaters
I’m just glad he went 0-2 against the Vols

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Agreed on 'Billy' but Stoops has done a good job with challenges at KY.

Way better than Joker or Rich Brooks days.

 

[Weezer]

If that's true then our administration is enabling the poor officiating by being silent. CJH needs to say something with or without administration approval.

I'd like to see him challenge the officials more on the sideline. Sometimes jawing at them gets you the calls.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Refs doing there thing for state.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

As awesome as he was on that drive I was more impressed with his plays on the next drive to seal the game! Some grown man grit when they knew what was coming. The running tandem of Sampson and Milton was unstoppable.
