Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I still want a White Out at night under the lights. With Stormtroopers of course.
The checkerboard is obviously iconic. Stripes look good too

But an all white at night is wild. The all black doesn't work. All any other color is ok, I guess. All white is the most impactful imo

Here’s where I am on Nico

Before Game 1, my Nico dial only had Trevor Lawrence on it, and it pointed to Trevor and I never thought to question it.

After Game 6, I noticed it changed. It now has Trevor on one side and DJ Uiagalelei on the other, and the arrow is stuck in the middle with a giant question mark over the top.

I’m no negavol and I’m all in on Heupel and Nico. But I can’t shake that question mark.

I’ve just got to see more this year.
That readout would look a whole lot different if just a couple of those long/dropped passes were completed. I think we see him hit a couple more of them vs bama.
 
Okay lol. Im just telling yall right now I think we get this dub. 21-19 VolsView attachment 687103
If they win, it won't be because Neyland was soft or because he's a great coach, it'll be because Saban left him with an NFL roster. It's gonna be great watching them come back down to reality over the next couple seasons.
 
Ya know, Campbell was playing LT almost exclusively last season…wonder if some of his issues are coming from switching back to RT this year.
1. Campbell is hurt. His knees need surgery and it was too late when we found out. Heard is not in shape enough and also maybe not athletic enough to execute this offense at a high level.

2. Due to point 1 Nico has started seeing ghosts and even when those guys do ok Nico makes it seem like they didn't.

3. WR are open and not thrown to, but when they are thrown to they are less than ideal balls. Like Nico, when the stars do align and they get a perfect ball, their hands get happy.

4. We have a Heisman level RB in DS masking the severity of factors above and a top 5 all time defensive front putting us in position to win.

I agree. They are actually human with DeBoer. Plus, it looks like that schedule is getting tougher every year for them as well. Finally

Agree--- even more reason with all the supposed young talent we have on the roster at Oline to question that position, position coach, and transfer portal at the end of the season.
 
I wonder if more people who were pissed in an oversized way about the game were bettors angry that the Vols didn't cover, because we did win.
I ain't pissed at all. I am tickled pink with the win, but I am opening my eyes to what our current situation is. OK I thought was the due to their DL and Heard being out. AR I thought was a lack of prep. UF held us scoreless with a loaded box and daring us to throw it. That is the opposite recipe anyone has used with success prior. We didn't connect and make them pay at all. That is now 2 blueprints on suppressing our offense.

It will be hard to win a playoff game unless the oline and Nico make some big steps. That is my barometer for the season. Making the playoff. I don't think with our current performances we are headed toward that goal. We could easily breakout, but we could also struggle with a USC or UK. Until they prove they can't though 15-1.
