Recruiting Football Talk VII

[drvenner]

I remember butch calling out Mark May after we beat Western Kentucky. Don't think he was that animated though

Mark May isn't 90 years old, either.

This is free fodder for all of you that hate Coach Walden and the Govs.................I can take the hate, but........This is big for my Govs. First UAC game in school history. Road win over a solid program.

They played a great game at Neyland, but felt the need to act like assclowns. I don't hate them, but I think they are due a little comeuppance.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Are you from South Carolina?

Yes he is and he reminds us everyday.

 

[drvenner]

To be fair, the umpire didn’t have a good line of sight

The two refs were probably looking at each other to get alignment on what they were instructed to do by Bama Sankey.

 

[butchna]

How did y’all feel Derek Mason did on the cast?

Very solid and even. If he’s done coaching, this is a viable career for him. Already far superior to Andre Ware types.

 

[drvenner]

Early prediction for next week
USCjr-37
UT-24

nvm. Let's just wait and see.

The third quarter made people nervous. Definitely a bad quarter, but overall a pretty good game. Better than either of the last two, for sure.

I get it, but being up 31-0 at half will make all but the most disciplined teams lose some focus, combined with a new QB they probably watched zero film on, and that’s what you get. Not excusing it, but I don’t think it should be the defining image of our performance yesterday.

Honestly, I kind of get the feeling the team is starting to find its stride.

After throwing the same screen 50 times it almost was picked off by UTSA and taken to the house… got to be better Vs SEC teams with that stuff. All the sideways horizontal game gives me a headache. But if that’s what Joe can do then go ahead with it. Gotta be careful Vs SEC speedsters on the outside though

I think Heup likes to keep doing stuff until they stop it. He did do it less after they adjusted and were better at stopping it.

Overall a solid game yesterday. Came out swinging then looked lethargic on both sides. Bad news facing USCe next week is Tennessee ranks 123rd/133 in completion percentage allowed on defense (68.5%)… good news is USCe ranks 118th in the same category so not much better than UT.
Rush Yards per attempt allowed
UT 19th/133
USCe 44th/133

 

[volbeast33]

Early line on FanDuel is UT -10.

I feel like taking SC and the points would be the obvious choice

maybe for anyone that’s not a Tennessee fan….never ever bet against your own team

 

[drvenner]

Did he say “give him six” at the end there? Something something seis.

Dale seis!! (pronounced Dah - lay) Not Dail, lol.

That’s really concerning considering we haven’t even played anyone but UF and they aren’t a good offense.

 

[VolNash17]

How did y’all feel Derek Mason did on the cast?

He did quite well. He usually does on broadcasts. Very knowledgeable and not annoying, keeps biases aside and let’s you know exactly what’s going on down on the field

 

[VolNash17]

So many easy completions… worth noting USCe has played a considerably tougher schedule than UT with UNC, Georgia and Miss State

My philosophy when I bet is not to bet on any game my team is involved in. Too much emotion involved.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Not confident against USCe.


At least we have the crowd on our side, gonna need Neyland rocking all night

 

[VolNash17]

IMO it goes to the lack of speed in the secondary. You go back and watch the secondary then compare it to other top 25 teams and UT’s look like they run with cinderblocks around their ankles. Poor angles and tackling not to mention, but we’ll see what happens. Have a feeling it’ll be a shootout

 

[UTgrad2015]

Not confident against USCe.


At least we have the crowd on our side, gonna need Neyland rocking all night

And some favorable calls would be helpful

 

[VolNash17]

Good news was offense looked really good first half. Idk if you can take too much away from a game like UTSA unless you look like a disaster. (Austin Peay)

Next week should be something like 41-27 Vols

 

[UTgrad2015]

Emotional hedge

Why?

I feel like we’re about to run all over them.

 

[Batman1948]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

DABO IS BROKEN

And we broke him

We have Tank, just slow as ****

And Tamarion, former LB, idk why he got moved to star, but he should’ve never been moved to star lol

Walker is just slow as **** as well.


Hopefully the younger guys are faster

 

[TrippieRedd]

Why?

I feel like we’re about to run all over them.

Why should I be?

 

[rocktopper16]

Why should I be?

Why shouldn’t you? Sampson, Wright & Small are the best trio of backs in the nation. I believe we see a totally different attack next weekend.
