What’s up with Lewis playing over Seldon?

He’s just better and/or Seldon is always hurt.

Indiana HC Curt Cignetti: "I wasn’t going to take four or five years to win. Like, back in the day, you just try to build a program by your fourth year. Nowadays you’ve got to win now. ... I’m not used to *not* winning, so we were going to win now."​

Cignetti might take Indiana to its first ever 10 win season in his first season, last season the Hoosiers finished 3-9…

I have a friend very close to that program. He raves about the guy. They will be heavily invested in NIL and the portal going forward because they know they have the opportunity to move the program forward now.

Skipped a dozen or so pages. Everybody behave tonight?

Never..

WRs as a unit have been an unexpected enigma

Kelsey needa do some explaining

I think Seldon was always more of a projection guy with elite measurables. Heupel requires a high degree of precision from his RBs and poor Seldon, every time he'd start to make some head way, he'd get injured. Really unfortunate for that kid. He can be so damn good here.

WR talent is NOT dynamic. At all. No reason to have insane talent, and not use it. Which gets to 2nd grievance. Halzle does NOT prepare this offense. Game plans seem to be dook. I mean, two open dates...what the hell did they do?

Where is Nico running on 3rd down? Designed run on RPO? Throw on slant?

Our WR's are big and physical but no game changers. I dont know man. Got to find a way to insert some new looks.

Love the development of TE's though.

I thought the game plan was fine. Execution was lacking. Seemed to roll out Nico more and used the tightends a lot. Dropped passes and missed field goals killed us.

Lewis is going to bring back a Vol RB tradition - slasher with speed and power. The future is already on the roster.

The WR struggle i have is Thornton not getting targeted more. He has been our most sure handed. Brazzel is good, but i think he has dropped or let slip the most balls. To be fair he's usually in a tough position, but man we need to start connecting more.

Brazzell need work on hand, and core strength.

Boo is so fast

Love Boo being like "dude just keep heading outside and I could have hit the last block"

y'all think his boys will chide him about getting caught by qb from behind?

Would've been an insane play too. Boo has elite speed

They're probably too busy making sure Will doesn't steal their girl

If it's up for grabs, he's gonna get it

 

[DD4ME]

I'm glad someone does. His momma and Heupel may be the last 2

Wow! I missed him coming out of nowhere.

If Brooks keeps his GPS on the pylon I have no doubt that Boo gets there in time to get in front of the would be tackler qb

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Still no one has scored over 20 on our defense this year.

One of my favorite stats!!

Will ain't the quickest unless we're talking between the ears. Love how he's always in the right spot. I hope that really rubs off on Boo. He'll earn a fortune if so

 

[DD4ME]

Lol
Me looking back at our 1st half posts when we got ahead by 10.

Max is a Freshmen kicker, he will be fine.

 

[Vols4us]

Yup. Loyalty is one thing, stubbornness is another. The team deserves better. They should not lose due to a bad kicker at Tennessee.

 

[TrippieRedd]

We have 7ints as a team this year, not bad at all so far.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

I may just skip the 1st half next game,

I just don’t understand this argument. Bru and Thornton are dudes that many, many teams would want on their teams. They played well. The issue is not talent- the issue is catching the football by others. We have guys running open- last night, against Bama, against UF, against Arkansas. Make the plays when they are there. They would be different games. I also saw some 2022 wrinkles last night that we haven’t seen much this year. Got TE’s open down the seam.

Maybe I’m watching a different channel than some of you.
