Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[TheBigOne10]

always afraid ARK loss would come back to haunt this year's playoff hopes...

Need to pull for LSU this week because they could easily lose to Vandy or at Florida honestly.

Not all heros wear capes

Need him.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Not gonna lie……kinda like the cowbell thing.

I'll take 28-18 all day long. With 3 dropped touchdown passes that could have easily been 49.

GB!

Fun that the entire offense participated so directly in Sampson's record breaking TD! Even Nico flew to the pile and pushed.

Nope..should have been at least 55...if just 2 of the easy missed FGs had landed.

Also...Kentucky would have quit by early in the 3rd if those things had happened...so probably would have stuffed more down their throats. They were still fighting really hard thanks to the miscues keeping them close.

This score was a mirage.

Need to discontinue Game Threads, they're nothing but a complaint forum .

I may have bad takes occasionally but good grief..

It's like grocery shopping when you are starving. If you do not have discipline and emotional maturity then you should stay away from posting in the game thread. Just like you should stay away from grocery shopping when you are hungry if you have no discipline.

Beautiful NBA slate tomorrow. Money time.

 

[therickbol]

From what I remember coaches are saying (with different words) that Matthews isn't picking up the offense. He could be reading the defense wrong and running the wrong route. I don't know the play book so I won't speculate how difficult it is.

He did have a great block on a WR screen yesterday. All the tools are there. He needs time to develop. I don't think that is a bad thing.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I hate that garbage freakout stuff.

My new thing for the Idiot Margin...

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

I am telling you all. We must win out.

No problem..We will win out and take an SEC Title with us!!

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

I am telling you all. We must win out.

Let’s just do that anyway. Then, **** em all.

Committee has always said head to head matters again I tell ppl on this board to wait till Tuesday column writers get paid for clicks..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Vandy will be 85% Tennessee fans, not a true road environment.

I don't think it will be this year.

Great block by Matthews. Domination. Pancake.

 

[Adam Sandler]

This is priceless.

If LSU loses they are out of playoffs and if TN and ALA both finish with 2 loses TN would get the playoff spot based on head to head match up?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I am telling you all. We must win out.

Of course ESPN trying to lead the charge to screw TN again, if we end up with 2 losses. Go out and just win. Leave no doubt!

 

[therickbol]

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 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.

That's because the argument is pure fantasy. It's posters that want to feel more connected to what's happening out there. They see the end result that is easy to see; the scoreboard. Then they feel compelled to come up with solutions. I would love...love for these posters to actually be given the opportunity to "devise the gameplan and prepare the offense" against an SEC defense so I could laugh my a$$ off at how embarrassing it would be.

 

[DD4ME]

Agree

 

[Ashevolle]

Literally 22 when they put bama over us and last year when they put bama in over FSU

Bama didn't make the 2022 playoffs. And last year Bama didn't have a head-to-head win over FSU. You said that the committee would ignore a head-to-head win between teams with identical records. That's never happened.

 

[TheBigOne10]

If LSU loses they are out of playoffs and if TN and ALA both finish with 2 loses TN would get the playoff spot based on head to head match up?

Should, no doubt. Should. But I really think LSU could lose a 3rd game regardless and I don’t trust the committee to value head to head (common sense). The best solution is just beating Georgia’s ass. Vandy in current state would be a nice road win. So 10-2 may be just fine.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I am telling you all. We must win out.

how are we behind psu?

 

[JT3]

Lol at the thought they take 10-2 Alabama over 10-2 Tennessee.

Head to head matters.

I agree, but we saw the final rankings in 2022. They have set a precedent already. Just win and it doesn't matter.

Great block by Matthews. Domination. Pancake.

Great to see him buying in and understanding what gets you playing time. That screen used to be Hype offense bread and butter and last night looked more like OUR offense. Not sure if it’s more confidence in Nico or just what the defense was giving us..

 

[Adam Sandler]

4 + bowl/playoffs

I thought bowls/playoffs didn’t count towards redshirt
