Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[highspeed]

Hey, guys. We’re good at football again.

And the defense hasn’t given up a TD in all 3 games. 12 straight quarters of keeping he opponent out of the end zone.

Now that wins football games. If we aren't elite, we're very close.

 

[Ten_Titans]

When the offense is good, do you only give the players credit? Never Heupel?

I gave Garner credit in that post? Not sure what you mean. When Nico hits a long ball I don't think to give the running backs coach credit, no

 

[Jackcrevol]

Who looked better than Tennessee today?

Go ahead. I'll wait

Vandy hung 50 on Acorn State

[Ten_Titans]

You do realize a good DL helps the defensive backfield… right?

Considering that is my ENTIRE point.... Yeah, I think I do. Lol

 

[UTK]

Their stud WR had 5 catches for 53 yards lmaoooo

Tim Banks is the DC, not just a position coach. Calls all the plays. Owns everything on the defense.

 

[VolGee4]

I do give him credit. I just give more to Garner and frankly Inge.

The secondary played fine. And if they continue to play fine, we will continue to have elite defense because of Garner's unit.

If you watched the game tonight and thought "Oh, improvement from Tim Banks is definitely the reason for this", I think you're insane. That's all

That’s just odd. He’s the one who puts it together. I can’t agree with people who can’t give credit when they will turn around and criticize. Why wasn’t Garner’s unit doing this in year one? It’s all a unit on defense.

Back at you in being insane.

 

[Brillovol]

Ehhhh, I’d give us a B. Offense was a C+ and defense was A.

All the credit to a single position coach and not the DC tho

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

For a game that was 'lacking' in explosive plays, we still had a few. And technically an explosive play is a rush for 12 or more or a pass for 15/20 or more...I'll use 15

Explosive TDs:
- 15 yd TD catch by Kitselman
- 31 yd TD run by Nico
- 57 yd TD catch by Kitselman (called back by terrible flag)
- 34 yd TD run by Sampson
- 18 yd TD catch by Staes

Non-scoring plays:
- 12 yd run - Nico
- 12 yd run - Dylan
- 17 yd catch - Dylan
- 16 yd catch - Kitselman
- 14 yd run - Dylan
- 45 yd catch - Squirrel
- 15 yd run - Bishop
- 22 yd catch - Squirrel
- 13 yd run - Dylan
- 21 yd catch - Dylan

A few long passes that just barely missed:
- ~30 yd pass to Brazzell. I think this was the one where he & DB got tangled up. If i remember correctly, i thought this was a missed DPI
- ~40 yd for Bru's catch with another pass interference that didn't get called. Was much more obvious on the replay with DB's hand on Bru's arm and then DB fell into Bru.
- 31 yd pass to Bru that was just barely out of bounds
- 22 yd pass that was just out of reach to Thornton. Might've been a Keyton-esque stretch out TD had he dove. Two plays later was the pick 6 from Nico.

Non-offensive plays - I know this doesn't count for offensive explosiveness...don't care..they are fun:
85 yd pick 6 - Brooks
12 yd punt return - Squirrel
16 yd punt return - Squirrel
31 yd punt return - Squirrel



I think we're a little spoiled thanks to Heup's offense

BIG props to defense locking down in second half . We gave a ton of cushion to their WR early and paid for it then settled in. Overall that was a bit of an odd game. I feel like Nico was pretty good, but Sampson and the DL really cemented the win. Defense grew up tonight a little bit. Also, very nice to see our TEs producing again. We are much deeper there now and that will pay dividends.

Here’s my top 10 currently. 1-3 are in a league of their own. The rest are pretty close

1) UGA
2) Ohio State
3) Texas
4) Ole Miss
5) Alabama
6) Missouri
7) Miami
8) Utah
9) USC
10) Tennessee

Reaching hard as **** and making non-sensical comparisons just so you can continue to hate on a coach who proved a BUNCH of people wrong is.....interesting.

Right? What are we doing

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Hey, guys. We’re good at football again.

Don't forget, we have the best QB in the nation.

[Brillovol]

NC State not the only one getting smoked tonight. @Ten_Titans taking L after L on terrible Banks takes.

Give it up dude. You’ve dug too deep to make it out alive now.

 

[Jackcrevol]

All the credit to a single position coach and not the DC tho

 

[drvenner]

Will Brooks, baby

It was a game changing play. He stole their soul.

 

[Jimmy Football]

I heard a couple people this week call him the best receiver in the country. Not NC State people, either.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Tim Banks is the DC, not just a position coach. Calls all the plays. Owns everything on the defense.

And you think the pressure in the backfield every single play was the result of play calling? If you do that's fine. But I don't. And the fact that I don't is the only point I'm making.

I have a low opinion of Willie and a mildly low opinion of Banks. And I think Garner is the best DL coach in the country. If his unit is so dominant they can make Banks job as a play caller easier and everyone's job in the backfield easier than hell yeah. I'm just saying I didn't see any reason to change my opinion of any of them.

 

[JT3]

I still think the offense was very vanilla. Lots more to come.

It was and I agree it was by choice. We love that shovel pass tho lol.

Looks like we took what the defense gave for majority of the game.
