Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Jimmy Football]

people don’t even realize that we run the veer and shoot.

I read two national writers this week that wrote that we run the air raid.

Eric Cain last night in his "Postcast"...said we had a "pedestrian" offensive game...he graded it a C+.

Let's think about that, I get most of us armchair stiffs not recognizing what really happened, but he should know better...we stuffed 450 yards, and 44 points consisting of 5tds and 3 FGs down their throats.

In what world are those numbers "pedestrian"?...maybe against a scrub team? Because if you were paying attention, you would have seen that NCST did NOT play defense like a scrub...they were fundamentally sound, they played good coverage, they played disciplined in executing their obvious gameplan...and they tackled extremely well...and YET...we stuffed 44 and 460ish down their throats and if not for a absolute garbage illegal man downfield call that is 500+ and 51 offensive points on that sound defense.

I get that not much "spectacular" happened, but considering we were in 12 personnel for most of the game..not much spectacular was going to happen.

It's like people are blinded to reality or something...I am going to keep saying this...this offense really messes with our perceptions...but people that claim to he professional analysts should not.

Considering we brutally executed the offense that we were in at a relatively high level against a good fundamentally sound defense...I would give our offense a B+. If not for the Ints and a couple of blown blocks it would be an A+.

Never had the experience of my team losing to a Will Levis quarterbacked squad. Not thrilling.

In have. As a Titans fan.

If it makes you feel better he doesn't look like he's improved since Kentucky

Titans TE just saved Mayo boy for a TD.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Suck our titanic peckers haters!

 

[BigOrange15]

You'd think people people would know more about the best offense in CFB run by the best play caller in CFB. I guess thats expecting to much from "professionals" though.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Titans looking pretty solid.

They equate offense to Nico passing yards. Like running the ball down the other team’s throat doesn’t count lol

I think we would be favored against Mizzou on a neutral field right now.

I don't take that as an insult. I think he's just saying it could have been even better. I think coach H and Nico would agree as they pretty much said that post game. In addition, I don't think we've shown a lot of more complicated plays to this point. Still a lot of ammo in the range bag.

I like how they're justifying ND by putting NIU in the top 25

My philosophy: I am not going to drop a team far unless they've shown red flags, and I am not going to majorly bump a team unless they have a really impressive win. Bama, for example, showed major red flags yesterday in a game they should've cruised, but they course-corrected. Oregon has major red flags in two games, and barely squeaked (squoked?) by. Vols, Georgia, Texas, and Miami have impressive wins.

Ole Miss, Ohio State, and Mizzou haven't shown red flags against cupcakes, so they get to stay for now.

Utah is a question mark though. They jumped on Baylor early then were kind of meh, and Cam Rising got hurt.

Drop from what? Preseason guesses? That's the danger of preseason rankings, they're not based on this season performance, but people are reluctant to change the preseason guesses even when this season performance doesn't support it.

Miami has shown more this season than ole miss.l and Ohio state. You shouldn't drop ole miss or Ohio state, but I do think they should drop because Miami passes them and we pass them. I prefer to base it on this season more than last season. Don't ignore last season, but preseason guesses should hold much less weight than performance and resume this season. That approach will balance out as good teams play other good teams as the season goes on, but keeping someone high despite someone else having a better resume so far is a bad precedent.

It’s a C+ on the Heupel curve, and a borderline A- on the everybody else curve.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Agree

Imagine a 12 round fight against Mike Tyson, except to start every round a completely fresh clone of Tyson subs in.

That's pretty much what we're seeing with this defense. Even if they are an equally talented OL to start, they are gonna be demoralized by halftime.

Losing by 17 to a sub-average QB doesn’t sound better.

They were dropping 8 in coverage. Kinda hard for anyone to throw against it.

No. 7 nationally. No. 6 in the SEC. Crazy

 

[SoilVol]

NIU was criminally underrated. They have multiple conference championships and an Orange Bowl appearance. Notre Dame should definitely drop a spot or two but I don’t think the media should overreact.

Are you catholic or smoking? That Orange bowl was 11 years ago. NIU is 26-33 in the last 5 seasons lmao.

Notre Dame should drop out of the Top 20
