Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Devo182]

Texas, with much better talent than Vols, scored less points vs OSU.

Texas also gave up the same amount of sacks and more TFLs (#1 Oregon gave up more of both by a laughable amount). Some of that attributed to Nico being mobile enough to run for his life.

Point being that narratives that were formed based off Vols vs OSU are quickly looking silly.

From what all the commentators said, OSU completely switched up their offensive plan heading into the playoffs/after Michigan.

Vols were the 1 playoff team that had to deal with it in real-time, with no prep for the massive shift.

Erase the Q1 offensive bombs by them and we had a real shot.

I rarely excuse losses on outside factors, but this one single game held ALL of the outside factors going against us. Just wildly unlucky in so many ways.

Good lord seeing the creative offense in this game make me sick.

21--14 offensive scoring...what elite play

 

[Devo182]

I'll never understand running the ball in the shotgun formation at the goal line.

One thing to dive straight forward.

But to pitch it backwards and lose 7 yards is just dumb.

Agree either way. Dear lord, 4 straight QB sneaks must have a 95%+ success rate.

 

[Devo182]

Did it by rushing 4.

B-b-but!

21--14 offensive scoring...what elite play

People were like “Sark’s offense is SO creative I wish we had that!!” only for Sark’s squad to put up less points than our little ol rinky dink boring Heupel offense

And with less talented players.

August 30 is a long way off. This season ended too early. And mayonnaise days have already been spent in here. Off seasons are not set up these days for fun.

Enjoy basketball and baseball my dude.

CGE is a good coach of talent
But people’s biggest complaint is his development
I don’t think you get rid of him bc who are you gonna get…..
OSU is killing everyone right now
What CJH did this year with the lack of speed at WR and the lack of oline talent is impressive to go along with terrible safety and LB play
Honestly the dline was good bc of the amount of bodies, interior wise the starters were still a level below the top 4-6 teams
Flame away but we are still behind in talent

Another missile to Bears message boards convinced we could’ve had Harbaugh.

Don't think Harbaugh would've been a great match with Williams..imo.

Coach Heupal gotta go.

OC Heupel gotta go.

HC Heupel can stay

Sark is an extremely overrated offensive coach

Yeah. It’s called real elite defense.

Not, in Sabans word, “basic”. Like our D

My lock for the first Wildcard Game, McConkey and Collins, anytime TD, parlay. No sweat parlay, if you have DraftKings

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Would've been nice to beat Texas in football last night, then again tonight in basketball.

 

[NMVol]

Enjoy basketball and baseball my dude.

Suffering for football is the more noble path. A few 10 second sprints in the Spring and the like afford some relief.

 

[Vol423]

Here it comes.

Well, a number of us predicted he would exit Colorado immediately once his sons left.

McConkey plays for the Rams. They play Monday unless there's another McConkey..

BTW did you watch Cooper Flagg drop 42 today ..?

 

[The Dog]

BTW did you watch Cooper Flagg drop 42 today ..?

Yes, and I was, right, that's Ladd's last name and I spelled it, right. You may be high, today. Flagg is no doubt, #1 pick

 

[DarthVol1]

I wondered how long it would be for high ranked guys to go to lower level schools to set themselves up for portaling to a bigger school and payday. Much easier to get to start as a freshman.

 

[butchna]

Don't think Harbaugh would've been a great match with Williams..imo.

Prolly wouldn’t have picked him. Traded down and drafted McCarthy…or stuck with Fields.
