Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[knoxvol52]

Wow! Great player.
RIP......


Mercury Morris, star on Miami Dolphins' 1972 undefeated team, dies at age 77

Mercury was always popping the Champagne bottle after he knew the Dolphins would still be only undefeated Super Bowl Champion.

This. Are we redshirting Seldon or something? He wasn’t on the injury report.

Also, why didn’t Lance Heard travel with the team? Kinda strange

if only we had a family member we could address

Hubbs on KO show says TN had to declare Heard as 'out,' due to new rules. They would have been fined had he not played and listed as questionable. Didnt make sense to bring him on trip.

Thinking about the secrecy around his recruitment, makes total sense everyone is grasping at straws. Huepel has the word out, cause he wants people guessing. The gag order was put out.

Everything else is just horse ****.

Tell me you don't know football w/o actually saying that you don't know football...

The only reason that game was close was because fake penalties. Refs seemed like they were trying to keep the game close. We hit a big play…holding. We pick up a fumble return for a TD. At worst that is a 10 point swing and wipes out 6 points from their score. So should’ve been like 35-7

that’s been stated many times but the fumble was recovered by an oklahoma offensive lineman which would make it a dead ball at that point.

Could you say Hugh put the "Freeze" on Bo Wallace who done absolutely nothing while playing. Although Freeze is untolerable.

He does seem incouth.

Sorry, but I don't believe that he dialed it back b/c it is OU.

It looked like he went conservative b/c our OL was struggling, the crowd noise and disguised blitzes seemed to be affecting Nico and the O, and he felt like if we ate clock and relied on the defense that gave us the best chance to win as opposed to possibly turning it over some more.

And it worked. Thank all that is good and gracious, it worked. lol

I'm not sure that CJH felt the same way that I did, but it never really felt like we had the game completely wrapped up until the last drive or so. It always felt to me that there was the danger of the unforeseen looming. I just can't personally see Josh taking his foot off the gas with the game in any sort of question just b/c it's his old Uni (that fired him for doing what the head coach forced him to do, in installing an offense that he didn't want to run).

But, rumor is I've been wrong before. I can't confirm. Once, I thought I was, but I think I was incorrect about that.

It's ludicrous to think Heupel was slowing down to avoid blowing them out because he has a soft spot for them. Maybe he would avoid beating them by 60 for that reason, but that game was nowhere near to the point where Heupel was thinking about avoiding a blowout.

He wanted to win, he believed that was the best way to do it. I don't like that approach personally, but it worked.

 

[Orange_Crush]

... I hope they can run on us….

I don't. lol

 

[Orangeburst]

I know we went 12 deep on DL in other games, but I think we went about 14 deep last night..I said it before, but I dont remember any team, Bama, whoever, going as deep.

I saw him a few times during huddles and he did not look engaged whatsoever.

I hope he’s fine.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Which one of you is this?

Don't think we have any angry enough in the recruiting forum... Limits the search to the football forum lol

 

[TrippieRedd]

I don't. lol

It was sarcasm

Meaning that’s their only chance to win, and they won’t be able to against our line

There was several Rumors that OU field was going to be slippery.

[Jackcrevol]

Prime brings eye balls. Like a lot of them. But that Hail Mary last night was epic.

hope he loses every game. every...game.

 

[franklinpence]

This is what I see.View attachment 679644

Looks right to me. What’s the problem?

 

[jave36]

It’s very funny waking up this morning and reading all of the Oklahoma coping online. Basically saying our offense is trash and if this is “the best offense in the league” OU is going to win a ton of games. I guess whatever you have to tell yourself to feel better after a fat L.

I can't wait for the coping logic for their next few losses

 

[Jackcrevol]

He does seem incouth.

unc-oof

 

[barrylee]

Unfortunately, we know exactly what this means…the zebras will be heavily favoring OK. We will have to beat OK, the environment, and the refs once again.

Bump this prophecy!

 

[captainfalcon777]

Seldon played last night.

Didn’t have a single carry

 

[jave36]

I can't wait for the OU backup QB to come out and look like the 3* backup qb he is because now teams will be prepared for him. They're not used to the backup bump that you get for one game (especially against Tennessee) before he crashes down to earth and you realize why he was the backup.

 

[Jackcrevol]

What is seldon's uncle's name?

 

[MarcoVol]

Didn’t have a single carry

Bc he’s been out. Sometimes ability comes down to availability and Bishop has earned trust from the staff with Seldon’s absence.

We’ll see more of him moving forward I’m sure.

 

[Volnut]

Absolutely perfect throw. Elite. Elite. Elite.

That was a work of beauty! Look at the in-synch of Thornton's arm movement and stride. That was total rhythm and perfect ball placement.

We’ll see more of him moving forward I’m sure.

We have a hesiman level back in Sampson. And bishop has been performing well as the backup. Why fix what's not broken? Seldon will get his turn.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Jaxson Moi was a beast last night. It's amazing we can rotate guys in that are relatively unknown and have them dominate.
