Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[OGbabyaviVol]

Dylan Sampson is the only running back and just the second player to have 100 yards rushing against Georgia so far this season.

And should have been run even more. We were running the ball successfully against them. Not sure why we didn’t do it more.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Alright yall, give me some good comebacks to the inevitable “ROUGH WEEKEND FOR YOU, HUH?” BS I’m gonna get at work.

Nope, tough environment to play in at night with Georgia coming off of a loss and in a must win situation. Win out and we are in playoffs and hopefully get to play them again on a neutral field.

Bama fans telling Vandy Barstool that "you only have one assignment". This 12 team playoff is crazy times.

 

[Nuctech777]

I don’t mind playing iga again in the playoffs. But it needs to be a neutral field. Don’t want to go to their stadium again…

With non-SEC refs. I can’t stress this enough.

 

[JCVol00]

blows my mind that we hardly blitzed Saturday, knowing that Beck is bad under pressure. Borderline coaching malpractice imo. It seems like every year there is 1-2 games that makes us go “wtf was that?” ig that uga and arky were those games this year, like mizzou and uf last year and uscjr in ‘22

They get paid well into 6 figures.... Hardly amateurs.

They are amateurs

 

[Nuctech777]

This is just my opinion, but I would have played with two tight ends if not 3 the entire game. They were open most every play. Beat uga at their own game. Send the 2-3 WRs deep every play. Either they give up a short to mid level pass to the TEs or RB or they leave a 1-1 coverage on the WR.

I was excited when we came out and were passing to the TE. It was working and then we went away from it. Not really sure why.

No excuse for the front 4 not to win one on ones in my mind, this was the worst game they have played all year

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Keith Whitley is better than George Strait.

 

[VolNash17]

We have a top sec defense right now lol

Against teams with an offensive pulse? Bammer’s quarterback wasn’t 100%. Who else exactly

Not as rough as it will be for you if you don't shut yer yapper

 

[rikberry31]

the final week and conference championship week of 2007 showed us all that anything can happen

Just have to play it out at this point and keep our eyes on a few teams

The teams in front of us will feel the pressure, or feel complacent

We got humbled last night, but humility is always at work, and always looking for people that need reminding

I really believe that the powers that be in tv and vegas are angling for a match up between Tennessee and Neuter Lame in Neyland. It has they tried and true storyline of Golden Domers v the Mobile Homers and the legend of Neyland at night. It would make for good tv and provide plenty of material for good copy in the lead up.
For vegas it is attractive because there is a lot of loyalty on both sides.

I agree but I think it also shows the lack of confidence they have in our safety play in man to man

Me either. We were only down one score, no need to abandon your best player. 19 carries… should have 25+

 

[MoCo_Vol]

What sucks is that I think Banks had blinders on for fixing what WE were doing wrong.

Kentucky and Mississippi State both ran for over 150 yards and 4.5 or better YPC against us.

We held Georgia to 106 rushing yards on 31 carries, just 3.4 YPC they've only had 3 games (all on the road) where they rushed for less yards.

Banks picked his poison and Beck tore us up because of it.

 

[JCVol00]

I agree but I think it also shows the lack of confidence they have in our safety play in man to man

Then that falls on recruiting and development as well, but I think blitzing beck wouldn’t have hurt any, since our safeties got torched the whole game anyways

 

[GoodTimeVol]

I wouldn’t say lack of confidence moreso Georgia prevented us from putting rush packages in when they played hurry up, I’ve said from the beginning the rotation is great on Dline but if you get too cute with it and the opposing offense plays hurry up you are stuck with your run defense out there on obvious pass look.

Play your best 4 on the DL against great teams at all times…we got out coached

only a bama fan would say this …congrats on outing yourself

 

[Butch Jones]

What sucks is that I think Banks

Yeah...he does. He had me fooled early this year but he's still the same bum we've complained about for 3+ seasons.

 

[BigSteve09]

Nico man. Can’t wait for next year.

View attachment 698679

is that Nico quote real?

I've seen it a few times, but the hound and flintlock sentence set off the "fan service" red flag that you see in most of our fan-generated posts

if it's real, he really does love the university and its fans, and he's right

 

[SSVol]

What is UGA's blue chip ratio vs ours? Pretty dodgy reffing. Home night game. Playoff elimination. Not saying that coaching was perfect, but there were quite a few confounding factors other than that.

 

[BigSteve09]

I didn't realize how bad the teams we've played have become (except for Bama) I will say it's hard to play in the SEC. Oklahoma is beat up but Florida is getting better all the time. Need the teams we've played to get bowl eligible.

Then again, has our schedule really been easy? We played Bama and Georgia. The beginning of the year, our schedule looked pretty tough -- I think that is just the grind of SEC and cream rises to the top. We thought Mizzou had the pie schedule at the beginning, but look at them now. This is not an easy bunch of games for any of us.

we've been that team that started goofy and ended dangerous

we've also been the team that gave up down the stretch

just an insane league with so many variables, team-to-team

 

[GoodTimeVol]

Yeah...he does. He had me fooled early this year but he's still the same bum we've complained about for 3+ seasons.

There is a lot of blame to go around, Banks got schooled but not going to harp on a guy for 1 bad game plan so far this year when he has been elite in all the others. We still have a top 10 defense in the country and that’s a far cry from the last two years
