Recruiting Football Talk VII

[InVOLuntary]

Appreciate all Joe did here. He will always be a VFL in my book. No drama, no pitching fits, no taking his ball and going home when things didn't go his way. All that being said, it's time start the Nico era.

good stuff from Joe Milton.
i'm excited to see what Nico looks like too.

but i think this is a tough spot to do it in. i think the hardest part of this game will be not letting the result (regardless of how it goes) overly impact perception for next year.

Comedian all transvestite hockey team called "chicks with schticks".

they have a comedy routine?

sounds like kids in the hall

Apparently our O-Line is still makeshift as well. Both Dayne Davis and Jackson Lampley projected to start.

Not ideal against a top 10 defense.

Not to disparage the Iowa defense, as they are a very good defense, but this was their schedule this year. Not a whole lot of offensive juggernauts on that schedule...

great episode

Never forget what the multitudes of kicks directly to the Vas has taught us. Speak it into existence with any TN squad. Iowa will be the steel curtain.

Adam Sparks was just on Basilio. He confirmed that Nico was supposed to get more game time vs Vandy. That week he was getting more reps than usual, but once the game started they just didn’t put him in as quickly as originally intended.

So?

I'm starting to look up some information on Iowa. One of the funniest stats of the day.

Elijah Herring was our leading tackler with 75 total tackles (29 solo, 46 assisted)

Iowa's leading tackler is their stud LB Jay Higgins with 155 total tackles (65 solo, 90 assisted)

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Over or under 225 passing yards for Nico against Iowa.

If Nico throws for 225+ in his first game, that'll be impressive. Iowa has allowed one QB to go over 225 all season--247 to Purdue. They give up an average 172 passing yards per game.

Of note, their first round NFL CB Cooper DeJean will not be playing due to injury

I don't know why he would want to go to NFL, VolNation says NFL sucks..

Lot's of money to be made, even with a sub-par product.

They have a few gems tucked away.

TB’s source who said Nico was starting just gave him the scoop on Evan Stewart. Stewart wants $1M for one season. The red flag is his work ethic. There may not be enough “want to” in him because he already makes decent $$ from social media. Football may not be his #1 priority.

So?

It’s unlikely that we would have seen much Nico in the bowl if Joe didn’t opt out. Coaches were just more comfortable keeping the vets on the field.

this coaching staff wants to win. more important than their egos

That means Nico throws for 230 yards.

 

[LargePairOfVols]

I know Iowa has a legit defense

But something tells me we open up a CAN on them like last time.

They are slow corn people.

Nico runs for 80+ yds against Iowa

Hope you all aren't missing your chance to hear the dynamic duo of Beth Mowins and "Panic Attack Man" call the Kansas bowl game.

I really hate I missed that. Did he have any more advice on what to do on 5th down?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Iowa has a good defense but if you can score like 14-17 on them that’s prob gonna do it. That’s one dogsh*t offense they have. And of course their defensive numbers were inflated bc they played people like Rutgers, Illinois, Nebraska and Northwestern all yr.

 

[Orangeburst]

(46-31.5)/46=.315

.315*100=31.5%

dadgumit I missed applying a decimal.
That is why you design infrastructure and I dig ditches.

Beyblades: the origin story

Mr. Miyagi approves.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Is Iowas defense good or do they just try and play ball control to keep the score low by running clock and also play poor offensive teams? The best Big10 team is 35 offensively and many of them are in the 100s.

As bad as the FF is...Facebook comment sections take the cake

On a post about Jaylen and Jabari opting out, all you see are people wanting to take their VFL cards
