Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[TrippieRedd]

Mike Matthews play?

 

[Dooby15]

Can't tell you how many seasons I said to myself "well, this season is done" in September, sometimes October.

At least we are making it to November with a competitive team.

Tonight sucks. We've made progress.

Agreed. Nico is miles ahead than where he was 2 weeks ago. If anything I think we proved we belong in the top 12. What team goes into Georgia tonight in that environment and wins?

 

[KPT_VFL]

We'd be 4-6 right now, praying to God we beat South Carolina and Vanderbilt to sneak into the "Who Gives A **** Bowl".

Yep and some of these “fans” act like Heupel is awful. Yet forget he’s beat Bama and UF 2x and on track for a second 10 win season. as we ge more talented the road woes will go. We played UGA a hell of a lot better tonight than in 2022 despite the score.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Not a lot of false starts so I think they handled the road well. That being said they were able to force Nico out of the pocket with only the 3 or 4 down lineman rushing. Biggest difference in the teams is the line of scrimmage.

 

[Dooby15]

We are so good at neyland.

Mediocre on the road.

i don’t see how that changes going forward

Can say the same about Georgia and Alabama.

People are pissed and salty so they are saying goofy ****, I get it. I really do.

 

[Strateegery]

Creativity lacking…can’t stay competitive when you’re ultra predictable.

[volbeast33]

People let themselves forget that this was still Georgia, a gut check for them in a road night game playing for their playoff lives. Expectations for us to just come in and walk them got way too high.

I wish we could score 20 points on them. Just once would be nice.

 

[Revived2002]

Flush it and move on

Go Vols!

 

[Jackcrevol]

They adjusted to let us deliver body shots and work our way to mid field, then tighten on us and we crapped our pants.

We were good for 3 first downs per drive. That was it.

They let us think we were doing something on offense every drive in the 2nd half and then they'd pull the rug out from under us. That was the most disheartening part

Halzle and Huepel have little to no imagination on offense. It hasnt been great since Golesh left. Gave up on run waay too early.

 

[UTProf]

We don’t have a deep threat against teams with speed without a healthy Thornton. We just don’t.

 

[DD4ME]

The food news is we are now likely to lose to Vandy.

Wooo

 

[VolGee4]

People are pissed and salty so they are saying goofy ****, I get it. I really do.

It’s crazy. We are about to have the best 3 year stretch in like 20 years, and this is what you get. This isn’t shocking.

 

[SpringBokVol]

So many things to call out and be pissed about.

But I’m going to flush it and move on.

That sucked.

 

[DD4ME]

Flush it and move on

Go Vols!

Flush it is right

 

[KPT_VFL]

I’ll say this. We have to score 50+ on UTEP and Vandy cause the committee looks at that ****. Cause lord knows they’ll have Ole Miss in who sat pads against crap teams.

 

[headhunter15]

Don’t know if it’s Elarbee, Halzle, or Pope I’m more frustrated with regarding the offense. OL, WR drops, and QB play have killed this offense.

 

[BigOrange15]

I wish we could score 20 points on them. Just once would be nice.

Bring back Cromp-Daddy

 

[VolGee4]

Halzle and Huepel have little to no imagination on offense. It hasnt been great since Golesh left. Gave up on run waay too early.

We ran 37 times… lol.

 

[knoxvol52]

I’ll say this. We have to score 50+ on UTEP and Vandy cause the committee looks at that ****. Cause lord knows they’ll have Ole Miss in who sat pads against crap teams.

Mississippi will **** in the bed in Gainesville next Saturday..

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Our defense is breaking down, the offense is bland, and the team overall is still too undisciplined. I'm grateful for how far the program has come, but Heupel has to find a way to get this program to take the next step. We're going to need help to get into the playoffs because the committee has zero respect for Tennessee. Getting into the playoffs would be a big perception boost for the program. Hopefully we get a few miracles. It's been a crazy season...so who knows.

 

[hooperj75]

Well, on the bright side, I do have 2 free tickets to the cheez itz bowl if we don’t make the playoffs.

 

[InVOLuntary]

lol…I will refrain because I might say something I might regret.

You might embararass yourself. Why don't you go watch the 3rd and 25? He rushed 4 amd dropped everyone to the freakin' sticks. Its the most egregious defensive play calling I've seen since the 4th and 30 something he gave up to will levis at KY. Any defensive coordinator worth his weight in horse manure would have sent the house to not give him the 45min of pocket time to get the pass off he needed.

 

[BigSteve09]

Halzle and Huepel have little to no imagination on offense. It hasnt been great since Golesh left. Gave up on run waay too early.

We played right into their plan in the 2nd half. Really the most disappointing part of all of this.

Even if we did out scheme them, I don't know if we would have won.

It was the perfect storm that Kirby dreams about. It was already going to take the perfect game from us.
