Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Eeehhh he hit the face mask. My bigger gripe is they didn't review to make sure it wasn't a fumble. I didn't think it was a fumble at first glance, but it really needed to be reviewed.

Was certainly a fumble.

 

[Midas]

Glad we got the win but feel so disappointed in the backup tackles cause I wanted to see Nico go tf off. All good though still happy with the outcome. Can’t wait to watch how the rest of the season plays out. GBO!

 

[rockytop25]

The play calling in the second half was not aggressive at all. We tried not to lose instead of blow their doors offf. He didn’t want to make them look bad and made it a closer game than it had to be imo

He played to win the game which is all I care about.

Was certainly a fumble.

I played it lots of times but from the one angle we got it wasn't certain. But again, replay it from every angle to make sure, no reason to possibly miss that by not reviewing.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Jackson Arnold in the transfer portal yet?

[SpringBokVol]

Seriously need to rest up our OL - they are the key to how much success we have.

Agreed

Anybody complaining about being the #6 team, beating a top 15 team on the road for the first time since 2006, needs to just hand in their Vol card

For my part, I will never forget 2008-2020.

I will always enjoy wins and program success

Go Vols!

I haven’t complained on here, but I admit that I was old-man grumbling the entire 2nd half. I wanted Heup to crush that team by 1,000, for Heup. I wanted him to rub it in Bob Stoops’ face.

But now that the game is over, Heup called a mature game that limited OU’s chances to win and limited our chances to get a bunch of guys hurt on a dangerous field.

 

[Revived2002]

I don't necessarily enjoy seeing a conservative Heupel offense lol and it kind of sucked that it was so close...but I get it and it was probably the correct tactical decision.

Tennessee hasn't won a game like this since what, 2006? Let's enjoy it. We know Heupel isn't a dummy or a bad play caller. Whatever reasons he had for playing it like this were his and it worked out.

GBO

We covered the spread on the road against one of the great programs in the history of the sport

I really don’t understand what folks expected?

 

[VolAroundTheWorld]

Had nothing to do with making them look bad. Had everything to do with a dominant defense and up 3 scores. He’s a smart football coach.

You think if that was Bama he would have called the same game. I hope not. I’m glad we won but if you think that play calling was were it needs to be to win championships then we just disagree. I’m not going to complain anymore but that should have been a shalacken.

Not opposed to holding out Heard and Campbell for the Arkansas game tbh

Get them healthy for Florida

Big win

Defense is nasty and they will come up and knock your head off…….

They look different. I haven t seen guys on the back end willing to knock your brains out like that in a while. Thomas or McCoy reminded me of how inky used to whack people.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Rent free

 

[TrippieRedd]

Moi needs to play more.
Does he play a ton? Very high energy guy. Like his game.

 

[Smokey123]

It was conservative and it was obvious at half that was the plan.

I disagreed with it as much as anybody else but the game wasn’t close after 15 min

Oh it 100% was the plan, he was taking what the defense was giving him. And going ultra conservative doesn’t work out well in CFB. We’ve seen it a million times of teams getting their back blown out for 55 minutes just to comeback in the final few minutes. OU was one 2 point conversion from making it a 1 score game with 3 timeouts left

There was 4 straight drives in the 2nd half where we couldn’t sustain a drive and it kept them in it. We were clearly the much better team with much better coaching. But in this sport you gotta put teams away when the opportunity presents itself

If our defense was that dominant against Bama, then yes. He doesn’t care how; he just wants to win. This thinking is ridiculous to me. You assess your situation and make calls to win a game. It’s about probabilities. Our football coach knows what he’s doing.

If we need to score more, then he will be more aggressive. Quite simple.
