Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[mr.checkerboards]

As does a G5 team.

Boise St at 12 would be in.

 

[Weezer]

Except Texas beating Bama in the SECchamp would put us right back in

Doubt they punish a loss in a CG. That sets a bad precedent and puts pressure on conferences not to have them.

All this talk about a drop off next season is stupid. We won 9 games last season despite noticeable regression from the offense. With the way Heupel has recruited and the guys they land in the portal, this program should be a stable 9+ win program every year. The discussion needs to focus on how they take the next step forward and quit worrying that we'll go 7-5. Hell, it's not a lock that we don't make the playoffs and finish strong this season. Last night sucked because it was a winnable game and we didn't get it done against the top program in the country...not because we found out we're miles behind after a blowout. Cross your fingers that we make the playoffs and get another shot at UGA.

Yup our big time talent is just coming on board.

We'll go from 17th in overall talent to top 10 next year and moving forward. Our incoming classes are greatly closing the talent gap by every metric. And yet here we have been with sub-top 15 talent winning 11 games, 9 games, now 10+ again...

It's silly how well we've done to this point with far less talent than the Bamas, UGAs of the world. Now we get to see it on a (somewhat) more even playing field moving forward.

Offense will be studly next year and the defense has gotten better every...single...year since Heupel arrived. That's just a straight fact.

Enjoy, folks. I mean, champions.

I want UGA on a neutral field in the playoffs. Bring it

 

[mr.checkerboards]

The one day I take Levis under passing yards, he kinda plays well.

The gift that keeps on givin

I know. We really aren't playing all that bad today.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

No we dont

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

I will say this, DSamp showed he’s elite lastnight. UGA had problems with him, and PLew just inserted himself in the rotation permanently going forward.

Look at this production, one game that he didn’t crack 100 yards and he ran for 92. Kid isn’t getting talked about enough nationally, some NFL team is going to get a Kamara level steal in the 3rd round. If Sean Payton is at proday it will likely be Denver.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Barnes, I love ya, I do.


But does anyone else get annoyed when someone makes one bad pass then they get yanked immediately?

Always

 

[Ace]

Hooker may get some snaps for Lions. They are up 49-6 with 12 minutes left in 4th

 

[JacketVol]

Johnny Majors first 5-8 years it was literally a revolving door

Johnny was very hard on his coaches. Many couldn't handle it and were leaving on their own. Not being critical of him. Him being hard on player's and coaches were part of what made him successful. Tony Dorsett told me Coach Majors was his man and he loved him.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Always

I ain’t gonna say anymore about it after this because we win, but man let the kids play it out.

If they continue to look like ****, then yes by all means, but 1-2 minutes then yanking a kid doesn’t do a damn thing for em.

I feel like some of his players play tense because they know if they make one mistake it’s right back to the bench.

They have plenty of times since the playoffs have started

That’s life, they want to play in the NBA someday the same will happen.

 

[JacketVol]

Meant to say 1 win, still though, sos is really bad, and we haven’t blownout anyone to impress the committee, it’s all been close wins

After last night, I saw our SOS jumped to 18th

OH, I completely agree. It's one of the reasons I don't like him.

 

[JacketVol]

Well when they do then hit me up. But they won't because after 4 years, it's a trend. He's way over his head. What does he need 8-10 years?

We beat Alabama this year.

 

[Devo182]

I don't think the committee knows what it is doing. While I agree with your statement, the committee chair said last week the reason BYU and Indiana moved ahead of Tennessee is because they had quality wins over Utah (4-5) and Michigan (5-5). By that definition Tennessee has quality wins over Florida, Oklahoma, and NC State.

That's not what was said. It was "big wins on their schedule". Which is true. They were hurdle games. Similar to if we had just beaten UF and the team across from us, marginally the same ranking as us, beat a 2-7 team...

The margin was already razor thin, so any halfway good wins were going to bump them up.

To OP's point, we do have the worst resume of all the 2-loss SEC teams. But we're in, so folks should relax regardless. Just dial in for Vandy, because that's a tough one.

 

[Rishvol]

I figured someone would compile a short list from the voices of CFB.

They have to back track what was said last week because Sankey told them to

There is one position that had me very worried for next year. It’s one that not too many mention often. Center. This offense goes as Coop goes. Will we have a competent replacement for him?

 

[knoxvol52]

Igor having a nice a game today

 

[Weezer]

They have plenty of times since the playoffs have started

Um, this is the first year of the 12-team playoffs, so they haven't done it "plenty of times" yet.

 

[vol9799]

I literally quoted from from the rule book… also false equivalency, catch and going out of bounds isn’t the same as a catch and getting rocked

I don't care what you quoted from. Quoting a rule doesn't make the rule, or your position, correct. The way the rules are written is inconsistent and full of subjectivity.

And there should be no false equivalency. A catch is either a catch or not, no matter where it occurs. That there are different definitions of a catch depending on where you are on the field, is evidence of the flaw in the rule.

 

[Weezer]

Need Army to beat ND. Hard to justify putting in a 2-loss ND team with one of those losses to NIU.

 

[MarcoVol]

I actually think that's about right. Shocked. Lol

People realize playing on the road at night in this conference, especially vs good teams, is very difficult.
