Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Revived2002]

Flush it and move on

Go Vols!

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

We ran 37 times… lol.

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.

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.

[Leeleesteeth]

Disappointing loss. My biggest disappointment is OL play. Second is getting outschemed by Bobo. Not down on Banks because of how far we've come on Defense, but not fired up about OL development. I believe we will be in the playoffs. Either way a 10-2 , possibly 11-2 season is nothing rational human beings should be overly disappointed in. Next two recruiting classes will determine how far this program can go, along with off season development of Matthews and Staley.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Nico will surpass him by a few TDs and few hundred yards unless he doesn’t play next weekend for some weird reason, but right now, Nico’s first year starting is just a smidge and I mean a smidgeeeeee better than JG’s first season starting.

Needs to get better asap for a 8mil QB.

 

[Jimmy Football]

We are so good at neyland.

Mediocre on the road.

i don’t see how that changes going forward

I think getting to road mediocrity would get this team over the top. We’re generally just plain bad on the road.

 

[StanfordVol]

It’s tough as hell to win a night game on the road against a motivated Georgia team. It felt like some brutal officiating kept the momentum on their side in the second half. But I feel better about our offense after this game. We converted several key third downs that we wouldn’t have made a few weeks ago. Maybe we’ll get lucky and get the #11 spot in the playoffs

 

[Jimmy Football]

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

Wooo

1. I don’t think we lose to Vandy.
2. Regardless, I don’t think that is related to food.

At some point in a 12 game season, you have games where both sides of the ball have to win the game. The defense has done it all year. The offense has to execute and not lay an egg in a half. That defensive call has worked hundreds of times- literally.

Ya”ll enjoy acting like you can do it. Have fun.

8 of 9 straight scoring drives, not counting the knell down at the end. Amd they weren't short ones. 80-90 yard drives.

Me done believing we can overcome
