Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Jackcrevol]

Are they though?

Yes!

 

[SpringBokVol]

Who was backing up Telander? Spillman is 3rd on depth chart (for what that’s worth)…

I saw Jalen Smith & Kalib Perry, but not Spillman.

Smith look absolutely lost

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yeah he whiffed on a noticeable block vs Arkansas next to Heard

Sigh.

...still angry.

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

Despite our offensive struggles, we’ve still got 75 more rushing yards per game than bama. 5.4ypc vs 5.0.

& they’ve only thrown for 25 more yards per game.

Milton at 73%, 191 rtg.
Nico at 66%, 149.3.

Both sacked 11 times.

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

Smith look absolutely lost

Yeah. True freshman problems…He seemed slow to react and then a bit slow to the sidelines. Out of position a few times.

If there defense really is as bad as it look and plays that way, then we win the game. Our offense will find way's to score - on the ground or through the air if they aren't disciplined.

Our defense is elite and deep and should limit what they do. I think they will have some success but it won't be enough.

Home crowd helps us force some turnovers and we make a few more plays.

Yeah, home crowd is going to play a huge role again.

I don’t think I’ll be okay if Vandy is able to beat Bama but we don’t. lol. Just like all the years we lost to UF but KY beat them.

Side note: Pavia was almost perfect in their game. No sacks, pick, and only 4 incompletions. I see 20 carries in the box for only 56 yards, so I’m guessing he was running a ton. I didn’t watch the game or know their offensive style. Were they designed runs or what?

If OL can keep Nico semi protected, let’s hope he has a massive game through the air and on the ground.

and Sampson can go ahead and keep up his 3 TD streak in Neyland.

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

Nice. ‘26 edge. #7 overall on3 composite.

Back to back weekends in Neyland is a great sign.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I forgot there were two byes this year. That ****ing sucks

Spillman is out with a wrist injury. The only 5 LB's that played Saturday was Pili (2 snaps), Carter (53 snaps), Telander (67 snaps), Perry (35 snaps), and Smith (19 snaps). Will Telander or Carter get the green dot/helmet communication now with Pili out?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Yeah family members just need to stay off social media or steel their resolve. Anyone can make a burner account and troll anonymously as a fan of another team. (as we know from countless over the years on this forum alone).

They definitely do stuff like that. It's hard to deal with fan bases for families & players when you have to deal with the idiots of other fan bases on top of our own idiots.

For a fans point of view yes but CJH will probably appreciate a bye week after playing 3 tough games in a row.

That’s right. Forgot the injury

 

[Smokey123]

Really truly think we can have success running against the Turds.

We can. Especially if we run power instead of zone

 

[mr.checkerboards]

For sure. I'm sure the players, coaches and staff enjoy it. It's just annoying when your team doesn't play.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

That sucks. At least we got Pili back for the first half of this season. I Hate that he missed last year and the rest of this year. He’s been such a key in our early defensive success. He was always in the right run gap and felt like he never lost contain.

I'd hire him immediately as an assistant coach/analyst of some sort. Give him his start in the business. He'll be great at whatever he does, imo.

 

[Smokey123]

Yes. The move JC back to LT and Dayne at RT. OL issues fixed overnight.

I’d rather have Johnson. Davis is a liability in pass pro

I think they’ll get it figured out soon. Campbell and Spraggins were both so good last year. They didn’t just forget how to play

 

[jave36]

I wouldn't call that a good throw. He was wide wide open and had to lay out to even have a chance of catching it.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I appreciate you going through the game again and posting the missed calls. It let's me know my eyes/brain are still working just fine. Maybe it'll help others see what's happening in SEC play and how "blind" the officials are when it comes to calling penalties during TENNESSEE games.


Great job.

I'm surprised no one has made this connection on relation to our penalties. . .
Remember When Bama was flagged more than ever against us in '22? . . Then suddenly every team began playing perfectly against us since then.

 

[Smokey123]

Impossible. I was told he was missing wide open guys all night, especially in the first half. (He only only had 3 incompletions in the first half one of which is seen above)
