Recruiting Football Talk VIII

This hit is up there as one of the most violent i have seen from. A Vol

Jakobe Thomas laid that hit.

 

[Aesius]

We are gonna struggle to make it for 2 weeks for another game..need our sugar.

I'm good with this bye week. Get healthy, get better on offense, and enjoy being undefeated.

I thought 23 did?

Jakobe Thomas laid that hit.

You are old

edit..but quick on your feet..lol

 

[volbeast33]

It's not roughing the passer if he fumbled, because if he fumbled he wasn't a passer.

You still can’t hit the qb above the shoulders…. The fumble was recovered by Oklahoma so it wouldn’t have been a TD for us.

Your jokes have bean getting worse and worse

Don’t carry on the tradition funny guy @jave36 ….one guy with jorts and a pair of new balances is enough

Definitely good with a bye week here. Need Heard back and need to come down from the high

Yep. Arkansas isn't a great team but the Vols can't take that one for granted. They will be hungry for a statement win, although us coming off a bye and them coming off A&M/their 5th game in a row is hard for them.

no denying, but it will be a long 2 weeks.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Das good

Home whistles man. Add subconscious pressure from the crowds to subpar officials who aren't held accountable for being good at their jobs, and you get lopsided flags for the home team.

Hell neyland ain’t that bad and they costed us the damn Florida game…till this day I’m still waiting on jabar gaffney to walk out the front gate.so I can ask him if water is catchable right before I throw him in the Tennessee river

 

[chavisut]

Naw, it was Thomas. That angle doesn't show it clear and the announcers did say it was Carter but it was definitely Thomas. He's put a couple big hits on already.

They hit Nico's face mask on the strip, but they didn't call it.

 

[chavisut]

I know a lot of you don't appreciate the humor of my dad jokes. Fair warning: I am about to drop one about coffee. I would ask that you consider embracing and enjoying it. If you don't like it, then I guess there will be a big brew ha ha.

More steam! Love em.

 

[VolGee4]

Feedback from friends that traveled.

The fan experience was excellent. it would be hard for us not to cheer for OU the remaining of their season.

Their fans are great. Tailgates welcome to all, food and beverage ,you name it. Just good people that love their team and school but decent humans to opposing fans that travel.

I can confirm this from 2014 game. Great hospitality.

Thomas lays the wood... In all fairness, our entire secondary has been laying the wood lol. And don't get me started on our LBs

There's no rule about hitting a qb vs any other player. They don't have fouls specific to certain positions.

You can't hit a passer above the shoulders while he's passing. You can hit a player who fumbled above the shoulders.

 

[Orange.]

Why did it have to be a TN fan

And what kind of chump has as his first thought after our huge SEC road win to post the video to our thread?

 

[VolNash17]

I hear these call in shows over the years-- complaining about Tony Vitello game plan, Rick Barnes and Josh Heupel. I think all have proven themselves. I have watched Georgia win with defense for years-- I think we good no matter how we win.

Vitello has proven himself, while Heupel is likable as well as Rick. They don’t belong in the same category as Vitello.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Nico in his first road test went 13 of 21 (61.9%) for 194 yards a TD and ended up with 8 rushes for 15 yards, he did have 2 fumbles
As a team we ran for 52 attempts and just 151 yards, 2.9 YPC with 1 TD

OU before we played them was giving up 187 yards passing a game (only Houston has thrown for 200+) and they were only giving up 77.7 rushing yards a game, we're the first team to run for 150 on them and the only team they've played that hit 300 total yards of offense on them.

The game proved 2 things without a doubt. Those are 2 of the top 5 defenses in the SEC. OU got next to nothing until the last few drives when we went prevent.

Malik Willis has the chance to do the funniest thing today

Someone asked for more Jermond McCoy.......ask, and you shall receive.

 

[Aesius]

Sure, it's possible. It's also possible that Nico gets sacked a few more times, fumbles again, gets pressured into throwing a pick six, etc. We got out to a comfortable lead and let the DL do its thing. No need to take risks to put unnecessary points on the board.
