Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Govolsman98]

Win feels just as good this morning as it did last night. I'm gonna soak in all the positive vibes these next couple weeks

Perfectly coached game last night by CJH. Got out to a comfy lead and let the defense bring it home. The defense will be what leads this team to National Championship. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times DEFENSE win Championships, offense puts fans in the seats.

Good morning winners.

A few ATROCIOUS calls by the refs gravely affected the score.

1. The fumble recovery TD that was ruled an incomplete pass and led to 2nd oklahoma TD
2. the 50 yd pass to Thornton (down at the 8) that was called back due to a phantom holding
3. Missed pass interference on the 30yd throw to Bru that would've taken us down to the 22, for at least a FG.

that's a 23 point swing...maybe 27

Would've made it 42-9 (or 46-9).

Squirrels dropped pass may have ended up with us scoring a TD instead of a FG...

so then it's 46-9 or 50-9...

IMHO, that's a much more appropriate score for the game that we just dominated on D. Even despite the conservative playcalling and complete tomfoolery by the refs. And that trash field and being down a couple OL.

The fumble wouldn’t have been a TD bc the OL recovered it. The play would have been dead at that point. The replay didn’t go long enough for me to tell if the defender pulled away and we kept hold of the jersey. We won and that is all that matters… It feels great to be a Vol!!!

He made it very stressful for us gamblers.

If the refs got that fumble and return for a TD call correct, the defense woulda scored 9 and gave up 9. Their stats should be the following

Points allowed 15
Points scored 18

Wouldn’t it have been dead when the lineman recovered the ball?

I laughed when he cut off Thornton. Trying to keep his account PG.

I never bet on Tennessee games so no stress for myself at all.

Rule #1 in gambling for myself, NEVER bet on the teams I'm a fan of less stressful that way.

Correct.

Freeze threw his QB AND DB - under...the...bus.

Auburn is going to have to be patient.

Freeze has no QB that's the problem. Plus throwing DB under the bus it happens on here every game it seems.

I treat them like anyone else… I only bet on them when I think they will win the bet. I would never bet against my favorite teams.

Where is Cam Seldon?

 

[volbeast33]

….

 

[knoxvol52]

Where is Cam Seldon?

Eh, maybe still banged up.

Sampson had a good game after taking his 2 series punishment for olaying the block that was his responsibility on the first strip sack. Yes Sampson was suppose to help Davis.

And where is Ethan Davis?

Bigger question is Where is Squirrel White?

Joshua Josephs is just a good as James Pearce both will have long careers in NFL barring a devastating injury.

Hot Take for the Day:

Malik Willis will lead Packers to a victory over his former Team today.

Unless Jordan Love is back.

Started the 1st quarter challenge with $30. Skipped the 1st game because there was no 1st qtr bets. Up to $235 after OU. I wonder if we can break $1k by the playoffs?

 

[Playdo]

I’m sure we already had this discourse on here or in the game thread, but I want to give credit to Herbstreit for coming down hard on this. He did not mince words.

Starting to think the pressure is in Pearce's head. He's come so close so many times, dude is moving around. Off edge, standing up, stunting. That play he got a half a sack, hoping that will get monkey off his back.

He's definitely in QB's mind. On one play, he was standing up, DL comes out of nowhere for sack. Has to be intimidating as an opposing QB. You have to account for him every play, then out of nowhere you get slapped by another dude.

The play was not dead as there was no whistle and after the offensive lineman recovered, he then fumbled himself.

The penalty that was called there was super whack too. Penalties should not be viewed as “black and white”. When there is incidental contact like that the flag should not be thrown.
