Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Dudley Smith]

Their supposed "top 10 pass defense" or whatever they touted makes sense now. Their technique is literally to hold you. As long as they get away with it, it works. Pruitt knew it and abused them for it.

That is exactly what OU does, both with their DB's and their OL. Glad to know we'll have the blueprint to beat it next year.

So are we ranked #25 this week? I'll allow it.

They will make us #25 so Alabama can say they beat a ranked team for the CFP rankings.

@VolunteerHillbilly what are you going to do while Tennessee is playing in their bowl game. Probably the same thing I'll be doing while UCLA is playing in theirs. Oh. Wait.

If it's MCB, I'll be there so long as it isn't freezing cold. I am still defrosting from the Titans/Cowboys Christmas Day game in Y2K. Glad the Vols won and should beat Vandy. I'm not sure that we're doing anything consistently right now, just winning somehow. We could just as easily be in the same boat as Kentucky, SC, VU, and Missouri all of whom have notched some bigger point differentials than us against common opponents but have also suffered bewildering losses.

 

[Jack Burton]

Happy to get the W last night, but that was brutal to watch with all of the penalties and dumb mistakes. Kickoff fair catch and the Shamburger late hit geez.

JG was in the zone though.

Dang fair weather fan...

It's funny how Georgia's offense is garbage and ours has started looking pretty good. I wonder what the difference is.

 

[turdherder11]

What a game. I'm very proud of this team and I'm so happy jj goes into Neyland on SR night already bowl eligible. I hope its a sell out and the loudest its been all season.

I don't think our WRs have played vs a defense like Missouri all year. Those DBs were reckless. Our WRs made huge plays, like SRs do. Huge win!

 

[chavisut]

This team has progressed so much, especially on the defensive side. I’m pumped for the seniors that they get to go bowling on their way out. Now bring back the tradition of whooping Vandy’s arse.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I’m happy to bump the 2018 Andy thread too.

No! Leave that in the pit of misery! Wait a minute… I didn’t start that, did I?

First off let me say I will never complain about a win. If you look at the stats you would have thought we won by 3 or 4 scores, and we should have. That was a dominant performance by the stats. Was just a weird game to watch from my perspective.

Let me rephrase that for you… It was a very frustrating game to watch from my perspective, except when the clock hit zero, and we were still ahead!

I just want to see us play one complete game in all three phases with minimal bone-headed mistakes. I hope we can do that this week and then carry that on to the bowl game.

Chip Kelly’s 4-7. Think he’ll win 5? If he does, should UCLA give him an extension? #HomeRun

 

[butchna]

If we’d hired Mike Leach, we could’ve been 6-5 right now.

 

[Bearwallow Bandit]

That was the best part about tonight. I immediately got two calls from two friends is mine and we all agreed, JP gets it, he's not going to be happy with anything other than perfection (my phone autocorrected to "penetration" there ). Being happy after playing bad enough to lose is not the kind of coach that build championship level programs--but getting in that a** and demanding they do better will.

I thought it was kind of funny when Cubelic interviewed him after the game. Asked Pruitt how excited he was to take this team to a bowl game or something like that and Pruitt just kind of hit him with a blank stare.

 

[Vols_Life]

If we’d hired Mike Leach, we could’ve been 6-5 right now.

...or worse?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

For those who made the trip to watch our boys play last night in the freezing cold, kudos to all of you! Was it as frustrating to watch live, as it was for us to watch it on TV? Hope y’all got to enjoy a lot of celebrating with the team.

Know the feeling. Had to take 2 Tylenol E. S. in the 4th qtr.

 

[VolsnCards5]

I want UF and UGA again

 

[butchna]

...or worse?

No way! He’s carved up those meat grinder PAC 12 defenses to reach 6-5. Imagine what he could do against the light weight crews in the SEC.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Lol...watchin the replay...DT has got to be extremely frustrated today..he should have had 4 sacks last night..EASY..literally had him right in his hands. He could have made himself a LOT of money last night..

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

We going 8-5.

Feeling so confident, you had to post it twice. I can dig it.

 

[butchna]

That Oregon win for Auburn gets less impressive the more the season wears on.

Yeah the ducks crapped the bed... Bama fans rejoice

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Also Mizzou has pathetic fans...they have been a scrappy well coached team for a long time, and they deserve better support than that.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Need to really hit on some game changing defensive linemen and linebackers. Maybe a grad transfer or two.

Solidify that group and we can make some real noise next year.

That’s his best ever picture.
