Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Kingston Vol]

Kentucky using the same game ending play that Georgia Tech did a few years ago certainly was a strategy.

I also appreciated Stoops' decision to punt on 4th and 1 at the UT 40.

This. They were getting 4 yards a carry. I was begging them to punt.

I am going to be that guy this morning and challenge all of the JG haters to show some character and apologize. There have been some horrible things said about him, and I have also said things I should not have. So, I apologize and retract them. There is no way that you are going to convince me that he does not bleed orange with every fiber of his being. He played terrific last night. I don't want to hear any more garbage about how his passes don't travel very far or that he just throws jump balls. He puts those jump balls right where he is supposed to. Not only that, but he ran for two huge first downs, one on a scramble. I don't think we win if he doesn't play last night. I know it was an ugly 4 point win over Kentucky, but getting to a bowl game is critical for this team. Thank you Broadway Joe. I know many of you have already spoke up for him and that shows that you can stand up and own that you may have been wrong. I am also going to tag @BruinVol because I recall him having JG's back when almost no one else did. I love this team and the culture change that is happening right in front of our eyes. #winout GBO!

So DT is the sack leader, and we are tied for most interceptions as a team???

And Callaway leads most YPC

Think of the parallels in these games:
Fall behind early
Playing that style offense
Callaway jump balls
A blocked kick
A huge goal line stand
but instead of pouting, JG comes in to save the day

Agreed! And those 15 extra bowl practices will do wonders for this team’s future development heading into next season.

I thought the play that really cost kentucky the game was on the 4th and 3 i think late in the 3rd, they chose to throw it deep instead of sticking with their option run. The was a horrible play call.

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!

Man, I am so happy for you and your daughter!

To be fair it was a RPO and Bituli had cut off the inside run for Bowden. I think someone else had also covered the edge.

But his decision there to make an off balance throw deep over the middle was great! Exactly why he doesn’t get many passing attempts.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Just a thought. Maurer isn’t close to being ready.

The play call wasn’t bad I just don’t think he should have thrown it. He could’ve scrambled around for a while and then made the throw if necessary.

At least not in the cold. Florida boy was having some issues with those worm burners. Had not seen that from him really but yesterday was off fo sho

 

[appyvol]

JG was also our leading rusher last night. 6 carries for 30 yards.

Bootleg to seal the deal was awesome

Been eatin that tasty bird all night off the all-u-can-eat buffet..

You always own it. I really appreciate that.

 

[SpringBokVol]

CJP has figured out how to coach/handle JG. Very impressive.

 

[drvenner]

Dude please @ me next time..don’t be a B*tch you are praising a 3rd year Jr QB that should have been doing this Sh*t all along....it’s what is expected from him,he earned my respect tonight but it’s still Kentucky...the fact y’all are still taking away from Shrout and Maurer for the games they won by themselves that JG couldn’t says a lot,it’s not been just “all” JG..you can have your moment of glory.

Dude. Grow up. Admit you were wrong. It's not that hard. I know you bleed orange like most of us, but you were wrong about JG. Man up.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Just a thought. Maurer isn’t close to being ready.

He needs a full off-season & plenty of reps.

He didn’t have a bad game, 7-16 98 yards and 18 rushing yards. Didn’t make any bonehead throws, we had a few drops too. I think in RPOs he had a few poor reads was surprised he got pulled, but JG has been pretty lights out coming off the bench and lit them up in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Dude. Grow up. Admit you were wrong. It's not that hard. I know you bleed orange lime most of us, but you were wrong about JG. Man up.

This situation is a good reminder that we’re all pompous assholes with very little real information to base our opinions on.

Heck, Heisman candidate and national championship winning Tua was off in the first half yesterday.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Just a thought. Maurer isn’t close to being ready.

Do you mean in regards to coming back from the injury or just that he isn’t ready to be playing right now in general?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Not tried that flavor. Is it good?

 

[Devo182]

Now we own Uk not just in football but basketball too, this is great

They may reverse bball on us for just a year...then again knowing how we always find a way to play up to them, we could steal 1 at TBA. But after this year that azz is ours!!

Not going to lie, bvs had me believing he was going to fumble carrying the ball with one hand.
