Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I loved that call. If he'd thrown in a 'what did he do?' between the countdown and the give him six it would have been perfect.

Just win the game in front of you and all the rankings will take care of themselves. Now, more than ever with the playoff, no rankings matter until the playoff ones come out.

That's for @Weezer he gets into those rankings at this moment.

 

[Vols4us]

He gets it.

Proud to be a Volunteer !!

Chills.

Hang the banner. Let's ride!

My boys and I just got home from the game. This was their first UT game and it could not have been better. From the flyover of the C17 during the national anthem, to the pick six, to us purely dominating…

My boys told me on the way home this experience was amazing and then passed out asleep.

GBO!

Nice work. Those c-17s are pretty awesome.

Offense puts @$$e$ in the seats but defense wins Championship. Last night I viewed a National Championship defense.

 

[RikidyBones]

NC State and Colorado are absolute cheeks.

I know most think we’re gonna absolutely trounce UF but I hated seeing that they found their new QB yesterday.

 

[Rishvol]

Go ahead and drag me into a dark alley, but I’m giving props to Vandy, it’s kinda nice to see them actually look like a football team….it was starting to get sad honestly

Heupel busted out the 12 personnel last night, and we just brutalized a pretty good defense with it. They had no answer for our run game and TEs. Imo, one of the reasons it seemed like such a weird(?) game, from an offensive standpoint. So used to spreading out, sideline to sideline...those two-TE formations were monsters all night. We just beat up on them with it.

Makes sense. Running a lot of 12 will feel different. Glad we’re able to switch it up like that and be successful.

 

[VolNash17]

I think Nico needs more reps with the receivers and the receivers need to improve a bit too. A few missed opportunities in the passing game last night but we’ll take 51-10 all day everyday

 

[headhunter15]

Tennessee certainly did not play their best, but they beat a quality opponent by 41 points. Heupel has this going in the right direction.

 

[VolNash17]

Defense - A+
Offense - B-

Going to enjoy this season knowing that we have all we need to win a natty if we can stay healthy and avoid the wrath/corruption of the striped shirts. No false expectations, just a calm sense like I had with the Diamond Vols, that I also have for the Deacon's guys this season.

Glory years - enjoying them.

What I like most is the kick azz and take no prisoners attitude from Heup down through the ranks to the scout team. A handful of players just need to be smarter and not be goaded into stupid penalties.

We are playing defense like champions play defense now. I hope the world continues to believe this is a gimmick O as they cram the ball down their throats for 200+ yards rushing each game. I also hope the idgit polls continue to undervalue our performances.

A simple Go Vols! will suffice. Have a great day, folks.

Heupel saved my arse twice last night. When we scored the last second TD on the 1st qtr for -2.5 and when he took the long FG at the end of the 1st half to go o17.5pts at 20pts.

Arkansas. You are dead to me.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Man, I wouldn't want to fight Bru. . . or try to cover/tackle him.

 

[JCVol00]

We are really good. We also have a fantastic culture that only the great programs have. Evidenced by our second team guys playing violent up to the last second even though we were up 51-10.

Stuff like that and Leacock running down the utc defender 60 some odd yards to prevent the pick six, and bishop running down the nc state defender on the pick 6, is a great sign for our locker room and the culture Heup has built, the future is honestly bright

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Didn’t Texas AM try to hire stoops ???

He got Schiano'd

I don’t really care what they do, but if they actually have a decent year, it’ll mean more when we wtfa.

That Samford team they beat lost to West Georgia in week 1. I wouldn’t jump to conclusions on Lagway just yet.

Sagarin has them rated around No. 200, way below Chattanooga and Kent State. They would be by far the worst team on our schedule.

 

[InVOLuntary]

DeSean Bishop shot up the chart of my favorite players, all because of his effort on that play. Another yard, and the NCSt dude doesn't score. DB gave his all there...hell of a play. I like that kid!

Meh, 3 star local kid.

 

[volbeast33]

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

He still relies on someone else to get him the ball… he needs to transfer to our sidelines.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Heupel reminds me of a great high school coach in how he teaches the team to play. . . he just happens to be an offensive genius wizard with a cutting edge offense at a premier SEC school. . .

He probably got the basis of his coaching from his old man.

I look at so many of these coaches and see men who don't understand what being a real coach is. We are pretty lucky to have an old school coach with an elite offensive mind.
