Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Drake fans watching CFL only now.

I also thought the short kick off to force a return and poor field poison was a sick move.

We outcoached a top 25 team by a mile.




Soak that statement in. It hasn’t always been the case.

I kind of wish we’d just play all the backups Saturday(obviously we wont) Kent state is awful, possibly the worst team in CFB. No reason to risk an injury

Stay crisp. Play the starters for one half.

just put Glitch on ignore and it will at least weed out the poor ones.

Just search for Jimmy Football’s posts and you’ll see all the best posts in a given day.

Originally thought OU would be a tough game. No longer believe that. Vols win 34-13.

Young signal caller Jackson Arnold was sacked three times for a second straight week, following Temple's impressive Week 1 performance against OU's front, and struggled mightily as a result by completing just 19 of his 32 pass attempts for 174 yards. Oklahoma averaged a paltry 2.6 yards per carry. This against a Houston defensive front that allowed 195 yards rushing against UNLVa week ago.

I want to agree...but I just don't think we will win that easily. I want to see how the offense performs in a true hostile environment against a Venables defense.

I hope you're right and we annihilate them and make them wish they had never left their little playground for the SEC.

No idea, I was 4 years old when they had their first game in Memphis

Don't you have school tomorrow? Shouldn't you be in bed already?

(Can't be that I'm that old...)

This is a wild stat…

 

[Weezer]

As long as it’s not Tony, our wives are safe.

You're underestimating Coach Heupel. Dude knows how to score.

Oh it wasn't close.

After that first possession, we looked a lot different than the other team in all aspects.

Tony "cutting rugs".....

Second photo is great. Haven't seen that particular view.

This is a really dumb take...that is not how this works.

 

[BruisedOrange]

He absolutely did

I was in the Super Dome back when the Niners and Saints were both in the Western Division, and the great Jerry Rice did that. Everyone in the Dome was screaming, but the coaches didn't request a review.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The point is that it looked mediocre and he can play a much better game, watch out.

It didn't look mediocre to me.

Levis is trash, how do the Titans lose 24-17 when Chicago has 148 total yards and 0 offensive TDs.

Will Levis is how.

 

[jave36]

Really had no choice. They aren’t going to get a better one that is experienced, and they can’t reset with a rookie.

Eh, I'm not convinced you can't reset with a rookie if you take all that extra money to build an elite roster around that rookie. Situational of course but I just think the pieces around the qb are way undervalued and the qbs are over valued in the NFL with the exception of a few.

Purdy is a great example. Build an elite roster and even a Mr irrelevant can come in and have success. I'll never believe Purdy would have anywhere near that success at Washington or Carolina or some other bad team. It's the team that makes him so good.

And putrid special teams play.

Yeah I'm not counting chickens yet.

But is that a game we can win? Absofrakingloutely.

And we owe the sooners.

 

[Jack Burton]

Assuming that everyone has the same mindset as you do......


Interesting.

Not everyone of course. You must be one of the 5 out of 100. You wouldn’t steal signs from the Gators? It’s not illegal you know.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Not sure what people saw. He completed 70% of passes and 1 miss easily could've been a long TD and another was a clear drop too. A third was the hit arm pick 6. That leaves the one bad pick and 2 other misses allll game

Looked really good to me. Guess I missed the mediocrity. Just me. Not perfect, but mediocre is laughable imo. Dude ran with free abandon and shot freakin darts all night.

I get the optimistic angle you're getting at btw, but can't get over the adjective being thrown around.

Thank You!!!...that is bugging the absolute piss out of me.

An enlightening thing for them to do is to watch Aaron Murray's in depth analysis of Nicos game last night.

Also blows my mind how ONE freaking horrible illegal man downfield penalty and ONE fluke pick skews people's perceptions so badly...

260ish and 3 TDs passing with 70ish and 1TD rushing, and 1 int...if that was the statline...I really doubt anybody is throwing around C grades or calling his play "mediocre".

He threw several beautiful passes they just missed...and only threw 2-3 really "bad" passes.

 

[COOKEVOL]

Whew! Finally caught up from yesterday. Many times I thought about giving up, but kept thinking “what would @VolsDoc81TX and @SmokinBob do?” I knew, like @Glitch serving and marching in his Crocs, I had to carry on.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

And, to add to the 44 & 460, we did that from an offense that we don't normally run. We adjusted into an O (12 personnel) that could better combat the 3-3-5. Yes, we probably worked on it for a couple of weeks, but still...to go with something that is not your normal functioning, and still dominant like that!! We're so used to seeing long TDs to WRs that are spread out into the stands, or long runs by the RBs...we took what they gave us last night, went 2 TEs, and just bludgeoned them to death. They had no answer, whatsoever.

Also, add on the TD that was taken away by a screw job, we look EVEN MORE unbelievable!

Exactly
