Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[JT3]

Disappointed.

It was going to be a tough task beating Georgia in Athens but I thought we had the team to do it this year.

Need Texas to roll aTm. And hoping Florida or miss state upsets ole miss.

We did, but we played one quarter of winning football tonight. Not even close to good enough.

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.

Pending anything crazy, I think we still get in. If the argument is 10-2 Ole Miss gets in because they beat UGA, well they also lost to Kentucky and LSU, two teams that are below mediocre at the moment. As for Bama, they lost to us and Vanderbilt, the latter being an embarrassing loss as number 1 in the nation.

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

Wrong…they punted 4 times. 9 possessions until the kneel. Go on.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Need Texas to roll aTm. And hoping Florida or miss state upsets ole miss.

Also need Army to beat Notre Dame and Ohio State to embarrass Indiana.

 

[BigSteve09]

I may have to avoid this place for a couple of weeks while the slow motion realization that we will not go to the playoff starts to set in

Toxicity potential very high

Jefferson Pilot used to list all the officials working ball games.

ESPN might.... might tell you the head official's name.

Transparency would go a long way with me.


If the SEC refuses to hire professional refereees then I would like to know who all is officiating the game and what university they graduated from. Maybe the officials can do like the players do on Sunday night football. When the game begins, they can introduce themselves and what school they went to.



For example:

The referee tonight was David Smith. He was quarterback for the university of alabama in the 80s and was team captain in 1988. How is he supposed to be impartial when TN is involved?

 

[Leeleesteeth]

While we're at it. What happens if Georgia loses to Tech?

 

[volbeast33]

Bring back Cromp-Daddy

good idea… He put 45 on Georgia.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Can’t believe we didn’t have a turnover or score a point in the second half.

That second half unfolded very strangely. The game flow was terrible.

Once we had that 15 play drive and punted I knew it was over. Who does that.

 

[JT3]

We did, but we played one quarter of winning football tonight. Not even close to good enough.

Thought we got conservative on both sides of the ball after we got up 10-0. Our DLine didn't have it tonight. It's Football, it happens. Defense was going to have to be elite for us to win. It wasn't meant to be.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Wrong…they punted 4 times. 9 possessions until the kneel. Go on.

Lol, go look again. We stopped them 3 times at the beginning of the game. After that they scored on 8 straight possessions and had one punt mixed in. Try again.

 

[Smokey123]

We’ll miss the playoffs and Bama will get in. Rankings are a joke

Our dline didn't have it because it was 7 on 4. We were never going to consistently get pressure with those numbers.

5/6…they scored 31 points. They punted 4 times. I’ve looked at it. Just getting it correct. We made them punt 3 times to start the game and couldn’t score an offensive point in the second half. People will say anything to support their position.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

According to Roman Harper, the tide can still get in with 3 losses.

Vols basketball tomorrow st 3:00 p.m. on SEC Network+ vs APSU..

 

[Garren04]

This was the worst defensive game plan I’ve seen from Tennessee since I don’t know when

 

[Jimmy Football]

This was the worst defensive game plan I’ve seen from Tennessee since I don’t know when

Since last year against Georgia.

 

[Girth Brooks]

He’s pissed, and should be.

 

[drylo]

And hoping Florida or miss upsets ole miss.

In 1994 the Vols went 7-4 in games where Peyton played significant snaps (including bowl). He finished 89/144 (62%) for 1100yds 11tds 6ints.

The game has changed, but Nico has led the Vols to 8-2 with 144/221 (65%) 1900yds 11tds 4ints with 2 regular season games left that we are highly favored. And that doesnt include last year's bowl game.

He's a freshman. You can't expect any freshman QB to come into the SEC and blow the doors off. Once in a blue moon a guy will (Manziel). If you can't see the leadership and the talent you are blind. If you can't see the very obvious flaws around him affecting his performances every week, you are blind.

Be patient. The goal is to finish 10-2. To do that with a freshman QB and majorly poor OL is an insane accomplishment. Nico is going to do great things for us, and he's got multiple years to do it.

 

[InVOLuntary]

5/6…they scored 31 points. They punted 4 times. I’ve looked at it. Just getting it correct. We made them punt 3 times to start the game and couldn’t score an offensive point in the second half.

They punted one time after we stopped them three straight. Drove the field, every time. Long drives. Banks made zero changes. TN will never , ever win anything of significance with him as the coordinator. 9-10 wins. He's your man.

If you want elite defensive coaching, look at GA. You literally never know where it's coming from. Safety, corner, olb, ilb. Stunts, twist. Meanwhile, Banks rushes the 4 down linemen, every play.

 

[Smokey123]

rooting for absolute chaos the rest of the way. BYU losing to Kansas would be big
