Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

I disagree...It was a good call, but horrible execution..of course you could say they should have known horrible execution from their WR/RB/QB was a high probability...but if he throws a good ball there it is a great play, and they probably win.

If you think any play in which Bowden throws the ball is good, you are delusional. He has ZERO mechanics. It doesn't matter if the WR is open if you can't throw the ball accurately.

12 on the field after the TO was beyond bad. Absolutely can’t happen.

I know we all are very excited and rightfully so about this turnaround from the dead of September but even last night there was some coaching issues that have to fixed if Pruitt is going to get this program above and beyond where butch took it

That’s the first time that’s happened all year calm tf down.... it is frustrating but the world isn’t ending...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

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

The kid is rusty...we have already seen him play well against good defenses.

 

[millst987]

Man, that Arkansas job might be one of the toughest in the country. Gonna be tough for them to turn it around

Don't they have a bowl ban this year?

Missouri football in limbo as program waits for NCAA to rule on its bowl ban appeal

Bama had the same mistake yesterday on their interception in the first half. Mistakes happen.

That 63 number has to be including redshirts and injuries. We have 78 Scholarship players on our roster. It is a bit misleading...

Yep, it has to be the guys available to play. We're looking at something like a dozen RSs, including injuries and ineligibles (Gibbs). I think we only lose 10 scholarship SRs (and Kennedy and CFA could potentially get another year), so we should be back at a solid 85 next year.

ESPN FPI now says our projected W/L is 6.3-5.7. 90% chance of beating Vandy but only 40% chance of beating Mizzou. I think we take em both. Bye week came at a perfect time.

Tennessee has been giving the double Fred Rogers to the FPI for weeks now. Don’t even care about that metric

 

[Pane di mais]

Goodness

It's really been that bad. One winning season in league since 2007. People forget because Dobbs and Barnett were so fun to watch. This could be the second. But we underdogs at Mizzou, I hear. (I like being the underdog in that game.)

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I can never understand what he is saying.

YawYawYaw..

Early in the season we had many issues with getting the right players on the field. It’s certainly been better but that’s the kind of thing we would be very mad at today if they get it into the end zone. 12 men can’t happen any time but especially after a TO

Oh i definitely agree it could’ve worked but he hadn’t show at that point he could complete really anything. I guess i would’ve went with more of a trickeration if i was taking a long TD shot

 

[BruinVol]

Yea they do and that play was extremely costly to Bama but it wasn’t after a TO

 

[Pane di mais]

He was going for the kill shot. Lol, I think he thought merely throwing at all was trickeration. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Can JG be trusted to start now? I’m convinced it’s a mental issue for him. When he sees the team struggling and comes off the bench, there’s less pressure on him and plays more instinctively. When he’s the starter he feels like he has to “manage” the game which leads to bad decisions.

IMO they gotta start Maurer again against Mizzou. If he can’t get it done go to JG again. For whatever reason that’s the key to getting him to play well.

Nope nope nope...what they are doing with him is working.

 

[zaqhhh]

Tennessee has been giving the double Fred Rogers to the FPI for weeks now. Don’t even care about that metric

FPI is pretty accurate IMO, what threw that off is the fact the team at the start of the season is totally different from the one we have now.

If JG is happy being the Sixth Man and the team responds to him being the Sixth Man, let him be the Sixth Man.

I wonder if Kellie Bryant is expected to be healthy again in 2 weeks?

 

[chargervol]

Think so, wanted to play yesterday if I'm not mistaken.

 

[BruinVol]

For how long?

Next year?


Imo it’s going to be hard to make that work past the next two games

 

[MemphisVol3]

If we win out, it will tie for best conference record since Fulmer in 2007.

Butch Jones went 5-3 in conference play in 2015.

 

[LA Vol]

Yeah, I'd expect to see Bryant against UT unless he reinjures the hamstring this week.

 

[Brillovol]

What about radio?

Can we please stop referring to Derek Mason as “Radio”? They don’t even look alike. It reeks of racism and fun at the expense of a disabled person.

I cringe every time I see this.

It was stated like that by us. But announcers were too stupid to read what was handed to them.
