Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

64 rush attempts for 4.7 a carry.

Amazed we had just 18 mins possession and almost matched them in yardage & outscored them. While also having more penalties.

Man these are important stats that would go somewhat unnoticed. Super underrated post here brother!

 

[SweetasSoda]

Yes

Of course

 

[UTProf]

Love seeing both Maurer and Shrout there supporting JG. I know these guys are all competitors but they look like they're brothers too. That's rare in situations where they're all fighting for the same spot.

That moment when the Wildcat fan realizes UK board member "Catbone", that has been urging them on all game, was wrong

I'm giving KY some credit, wish that freaking option offense wasn't so rough for us but it is, and they were smart to take advantage.

Announcers said they threw several of those wrinkles in this week, for us. It was a really good plan. Unfortunately for them, Pruitt is an even better defensive mind.

Guys and Gals what an amazing night! My first road game and took my 8 year old daughter. We had awesome seats! We were in the UT section in the first row! After the game the players came over. Brian Maurer, Quavarious Crouch, and Theo Jackson all gave my daughter gloves and towels! We walked out of Kroger with a win AND and 8 y/o who will NEVER forget this experience with our Vols! She hugged me while we were waiting for our Uber and said "Best day ever dad. Thank you so much". I love our program. Several others around us were all cheering and hugging after the stop on 4th down. I really think we turned a corner tonight. As a team, as a staff, and as a fanbase! It's great to be a Tennessee Vol!

Being fron lex, ut/uk was my first d-1 college football game.

Who saw this coming???

Pruitt can coach some defense boys. Oh, and there's this also. DT now leads the league in sacks as well.

That's awesome!!!

You copying me?

Feels great walking out of a SEC opponent’s stadium with a W. Lot of stuff went bad, especially early but I’m impressed with how these guys really seem to be banding together. They’re fun to watch right now.

Think they are embracing the maxim about putting on more steam when things don't go your way!

Austin Price of Volquest just predicted that Guarantano plays next year for Tennessee.

 

[85SugarVol]

Soooo..... Next week

While our boys are at home resting and taking treatment in the athletic center, Missouri gets to play Florida.

Hopefully the Gators drag em up and down the field and put a real hurtin’ on em.

I’d just really hate it for them if they came into our game against them all banged up...

We gonna have 4 scholarship QBs to choose from next season?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Just watched the last quarter again...Blakely killed that 4th down play right off the bat by getting off the hold..UK got away with that garbage the whole game, but that time he got away.

Wowww

 

[31VFL]

The blocked extra point by Middleton ended up being huge.

 

[scvolfan7]

JG’s postgame comments make me think he finally gets it

Yep. He understands now. Great to see.

 

[Jimmy Football]

After BYU, who had 5-5 + everyone lovin’ Pruitt and JG? Anybody?

Honestly, I would have said 2-8/3-7, and that one or both of those guys probably wouldn’t still be here.

 

[Brillovol]

Anytime you get down to a ball control offense, it’s gonna be a long day, yet somehow we gutted out a win.

Times have changed.

[LoudOrange]

Boise State and Wyoming going to overtime.

 

[85SugarVol]

Soooo.... JJ Peterson

1st off the bench to replace Toot
1st off the bench to replace Bituli


@Big Gucci Sosa

Man, can you imagine if it clicks for JJ next year and we run 2 Elite Top 50 ILBs out there? Toot & JJP

We'll miss Bituli, but those 2 together could be special.

“Coach Pruitt, every single day we have meetings, he’s always telling me that he still believes in me, and I thank him every day for that,” Guarantano said, his voice cracking slightly. “There’s a lot of people that don’t believe in me, but as long as those guys in the locker room do and my coaches do, that’s all that matters.” - JG

Dude absolutely earned my respect today. He may be frustrating as hell sometimes but he is the best chance we have at this point and we ALL need to get behind him. If he plays like he did during 90% of this game, we are absolutely going bowling. So let's get healthy and go kick some Tiger ass.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It looks to me like elite HS defensive players would be literally fighting each other for a spot on a Pruitt defense...the turnaround and development this year is startling. This is a guy who will make you a first rounder if you listen.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Do you guys think we can get more than two years out of Toots? The kid is almost too dang good. He will be NFL ready by the end of next season barring injury..Of course that is assuming his pass defense gets a little better.
