Recruiting Football Talk VII

[TheMookieMonster]

Thank you Titans for deciding to not re-sign Dobbs and shackle him in that trash offense.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Bama yes. Still averaging 34 ppg.

FL no. They have nearly identical stats to last year.

LSU yes bc of Daniels (and Vols best D performance of Heup era) but they averaged 34.5 ppg. A&M averages 34.2 ppg this year.

Pitt yes.

KY no. Their offense is better this year. +9 ppg better.

You also left off Mizzou. Much better offense this year. +8 ppg.

PPG doesn't tell the whole story.

What kind of virus did you just put on my phone? Holy cow pop ups

This is bs hindsight bias.

Favored in 10. Win 10.

Not fall flat on the road to inferior rosters in Florida and Mizzou.

The injuries kind of excuse a lot of things because I think they were consistent, but it was fair to expect the team we saw in the orange bowl to come back and compete for championships.

8-4 was the BARE MINIMUM going into this year. Period.

We shouldn't have expected more out of a Joe Milton that lit up Clemson with Bru, Squirrel and Ramel? All RB's back, Castles and Warren at TE and a freak in Dont'e?

We should have EXPECTED to lose to two teams we were favored over??? Anyone that predicted 8-4 was predicting us to have some significant hiccups.

Our trajectory is fine now, but it's definitely not great. Some of the shine is off, but you guys just have a certain narrative that'll you'll cling to regardless of what anyone says so whatever.

8-4 is totally cool folks! Losing games you're favored in by double digits is a successful season!

Or you can win by giving up. Pave the way, Moses.

To be fair, there are numbers that account for SOS as well which you’ve raised as a concern.

ESPN efficiency has us up from #44 to #22 this year. Similar metrics across the board from SP+ and others.

The defense has really struggled since Hadden went out and those numbers will come back to earth a little bit, but the defense was really really good earlier in the year.

Most of those stats were against UCONN, VA, Peay. We were getting to the QB with 4. Since then we aren't. That's the difference.

Man, yesterday just reminded me of the worst of Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt. Uninspired. Pitiful. Shooting themselves in the foot. Getting blown out by some mediocre program.

My BVS flared something fierce.

Unless you have top-3 talent, that's just going to happen.

Look how we walked right into Baton Rouge and embarrassed them for 4 quarters (not just pulling away the last 10 mins like yesterday).

The difference is Pruitt did this 6 times a season.

We're growing and have a long journey ahead. Enjoy the ride folks

If only we could all get fired like Jimbo. Are we worried A&M is coming after Heup yet?

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Huh?

Who said I'm giving up?

What are you talking about seńor smug?

 

[butchna]

Soon, but first we need to move on from him for not living up to the standard he set.

 

[butchna]

Huh?

Don't let me interrupt your bisch fest. Resume setting the bar.

 

[therickbol]

Trending down is an absurd statement. He’s overperformed so much in 2 years that somehow 8-4 is an inexcusable result.

There’s a lot to fix and improvement to be made but right now a lot of people are trying to throw out the baby with the bath water

Anybody that truly believes UT/Heupel is tending down must have lost a lot of brain cells with all the acid they did in college.

In which game were we favored by double digits?

 

[Jimmy Football]

PPG doesn't tell the whole story.

If you combined our tempo with a defense that got off the field quickly…whew.

 

[Vols410]

Most of those stats were against UCONN, VA, Peay. We were getting to the QB with 4. Since then we aren't. That's the difference.

We had cupcakes last year too. Still doesn’t explain the improvement between years.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Don't let me interrupt your bisch fest. Resume setting the bar.

That we shouldn't lose games we are favored in by double digits and expecting us to drop two games like?

Who sat here and expected us to go 8-4 with two beatdowns in games we were favored in?

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

In which game were we favored by double digits?

Didn't say that. I said we lost two games we were favored in by double digits.

Well technically blown out.

 

[Orangeburst]

$80M to stink it up. Unreal.

 

[butchna]

In which game were we favored by double digits?

Don't remember the line on Florida, but I don't think it was 10+

I expected hiccups then. Was feeling 9-3 but knew full well if injuries happened that 8-4 was on the table.

Do you expect every team that is favored to win to win every game? Especially in college football.

Nobody is saying yesterday was a success? Or even that 8-4 is where want to be. It’s also not the end of the world and if you take into consideration it’s Y3 after half the damn team left via the portal, it ain’t so bad. Get a bowl W and carry big ‘mo into ‘24 giving Nico the keys. I’ll take that.

 

[TrippieRedd]

He is as good as advertised and that will only matter if we build an OL capable of protecting him. Need to make quick and productive use of the portal this year.

You know damn well we are going to take our time lol

 

[screenthis]

Oh, I see. Losing to a good Missouri team is not unexpected. But yes, we've had several collapses that I just don't understand. The Florida game still stings most for me.

Literally didn't say we were favored by double digits

Said we lost two games where we were favored in, by double digits.

I read 8-4 7-5 all off-season. Vociferously disagreed but it wasn't exactly a Banksy observation...more the consensus. I know I know, you want more for the program than us losers because you love the program that much more...can we get a break from your commitment to excellence every other hour?

 

[vol81]

Guys quit feeding the legions of the miserable and trolls that come out of the woodwork after a bad game. Let them be miserable.

K...had nothing to do with my post.
