He sawft

But enough about Ryan Day. I seriously thought Day was about to cry when he was telling the sideline reporter about mean Lou "Slobber" Holtz.

Seriously, though, DSamp is going to have to get with it on pass pro. Or it's going to restrict his playing time.

Over under on the times the announcers say "beamer ball"? I'm thinkin 10.5...

That **** is so trite.

 

[UTSuave’]

20% chance is upset territory…I don’t like it.

 

[Orange.]

He has that hungry energy I thought we’d get from Thornton.

I haven't given up on Thornton yet. But he definitely needs to ball out starting now. Webb is exciting.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Maybe it’s the BVS, but I just don’t see us holding them to 21 lol

[KB5252]

Well, I guess they've done the hard work themselves.....rejoice all! The cocks have been beaten!

 

[Orange.]

and there will likely be a break out performance by a Cock too.... because Vols.

Don't be so defeatist, bruh. WGWTFA!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Feels like the analyst & media are trying motivate South Carolina and/or get reactions from Beamer.

This week the only motivation the Vols need is last years final score on repeat. I hope to hell the defense plays with their damn hair on fire cause I know Rattler ran his mouth all game last year.

The present game is the biggest game.

“Game ruint!” is undefeated.

 

[UTSuave’]

Something odd going on. I'm not saying we win by 6+ or even win it all. I just mean that based on Vegas odds, they're usually within 1-4pts of the outcome. I don't know what they see. If I were to cap this game, I'd have UT -6.5.

From where I’m sitting it’s going to be a lot of back and forth. Big first half (a lot of points ) and SC covering the 1st quarter spread/ possibly winning the first half….I don’t like it. Luckily SC is getting all the money right now which makes me feel a little better.

There go my hopes for changing the clock rules back.

Watching the replay now. Sampson is fantastic with the ball in his hands, but this definitely needs work. He got burned pretty bad here.

That wasn’t a great effort for sure. I will say that I kept seeing after the game that Sampson was the one responsible for Joe getting his knee bent up but I fast forwarded to that play and I don’t think it was. Sampson was supposed to go out on a delayed safety valve outlet route. Now, smarter minds would have tell me RB responsibilities on this. Maybe he had a choice to block or go for a route after that quick delay, but he never seemed like he was staying home to block.

The real culprit on that play was Karic. He straight up whiffed on the DL on the snap and that DL had a straight line to Joe and was 2 yards from him by the time Joe got to the end of his drop back.

Some of that unbiased data Vegas is completely familiar with that helps them formulate their betting lines.

 

[barrylee]

They were wrong about -23.5 last year

Dude, what happened to you? Things bad at home?

You could've just left that post alone but like al out every post you make now, it goes negative! Didn't use to be this way..

 

[Nash_Vol97]

I appreciate you doing this. And further on, flat out disastrous at 1:30:32. Damnit!

Karic got absolutely embarrassed. But DSamp never even looks to his left side. And that oversight is going to have a long-term effect, if Milton now has to rein in his running.

There was also the play where he almost got HH killed at LSU. I don't feel like looking it up, but I think most people will remember it. He scoops up the fumble he caused.

I have always loved Sampson since before he committed. I'm not hatin' on him. But pass pro is urgently needed.

Was he supposed to though is the question? He didn’t look that way but he also went out for a route. Off the play action he immediately stepped forward and to the right of that double team on their DL, delayed a split second, and then went out for an outlet route. Maybe a more experienced RB sees it and says **** my route and goes to help, but I’m just not sure if that was his responsibility. Looked to me like he was always going to run a route.

I think DSamp was supposed to look left also before leaving the backfield as an outlet receiver if all was clear. He sees everything under control to Joe's right, but he never even looked left. But I admit I do not know this. It just makes sense that the RB wouldn't neglect to look at the blindside. I doubt he was supposed to set up so far to the right and so far forward also. Karic was terrible.

Not saying our secondary is great, but think a lot of people are forgetting how injured we were there last year. Combine that with all the banks stuff that was going on and it was pretty ugly.
I think we see a much better performance this weekend.

So what happened at the FL game, did we decide not to show our improvement? UTSA was slicing us the second half with a 3rd string QB... we just waiting until this week to show out? Sorry, I know it seems sarcastic, but to me we have maybe shown slight improvement, but not much at all. May just be the stupid coverages / soft zone we are dialing up...
Hopefully we drop the hammer this weekend-- I won't be able to handle them coming in and beating us...

 

[GVol1966]

no way schedule tough... but I'm a Cowboys fan what the hell do I know...

Judging from your predictions, I’d say not very much

My bro worked up there for a while and he would always joke about pork and corn, corn and pork.

Iowa State is a nice little campus. I stopped by there once. Feels like a throwback small town.
