JG was supposed to be the guy and proved to be our “best qb”. We really didn’t lose any QBs so to speak.

Franks was no doubt their guy and they lost him for almost the entire season.

Both crappy situations, i think losing one to injury as opposed to one not meeting expectations is different.

But losing one to injury only to have it proven that the backup should have been chosen by the coaches all along, does not prove a better coaching job...to coaches managing a QB that could not perform in games as well as practice to have him come off the bench then return as a starter to throw for 400 yards in a game against a top 10 defense. Unless of course you're still trying to prove that we should love Mehlen more than Pruitt.

That wasn't the first one The hit on JJ ar the goal line was more targeting than the one bituli was called for during the bammer game. Just be consistent with how it's called and I dont think anyone would have issue.

First thing I said last nite.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I think Trey will come back for his senior season. Obviously the ability is there for a first round pick but many teams will hesitate due to past condition. He will likely show that after playing two years with condition opens up more teams to clear him.

I think after dealing with the possibility of never making it to the NFL because of a condition that people said would end his football career, he will jump at the chance to get his millions if given a shot.

JJ is the Al Wilson of receivers in my book.

I've never seen them in the same room. Not sure what would happen if they did.

I would rather play an Iowa type team than PSU or Michigan. I want a guaranteed win to pitch in recruiting.

At $4 million per year. What did he want?

New football facilities. School said no. He met with state officials I think to discuss I guess other sources of funding.

Honestly

What was Johnny be rogue about to pay him at UT?

Approx the same but all the money for the stadium and training upgrades had already been approved.

Beating a PSU or Michigan would be.... Awesome

 

[jakez4ut]

I think some folks for the Panthers need to lose their job. Starting with the place kicker.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Something to keep in mind to temper expectations for next year. Still think our over/under win total will be 8.5, mostly because I don’t think all the crappy teams in the East will get any better, and we switch out Miss. St. for an atrocious Arkansas team.

I completely agree. But both of those games would be close games. I would rather end with 8 for sure wins and not risk losing the bowl game. We have a lot of momentum and dragging a middle tier big ten team again would be great for our first bowl under Pruitt. I want to close with the best recruiting class that we can and beating a team handily in our bowl game will help with that.

 

[nashvol1]

Not sure we are ready for Mich or PSU level but the publicity would be nice, in particular with where we started the season.

 

[engineerVOL]

SIAP... opened as a 20-point favorite.

 

[xJesusx56]

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?

Hoke dismissing him from the team if I had to guess. That’s the only thing I could think of

I get it. But if we play one of those two teams.. There's no sin in losing.

And both probably... Definitely... Had bigger plans for their seasons than playing a Tennessee team that lost to gastate in a bowl game no one cares about except us.

The opportunity to get a top 15/10 win... I'd rather have that. Jmo

Losing JJ is gonna hurt. Bitulu too but I think it's a little more possible for another player to step into that defensive role.

Whatever insane law of physics that seems to make JJ and defenders bounce off one another until he incredibly dawg hops into the endzone... you just can't.

 

[HankHill]

Different yeah... But from a personnel management standpoint there's not really any debate as to which one required the most from the coaches... You could argue Florida had it easy in comparison... Just next man up... lol

Except when your next man up is some buster that didn’t start in high school. (Which i know is bogus)

 

[Sleegro]

Don't know whether it's my phone or the software.

Prayers sent.

 

[HankHill]

Trask is better than Franks tho

That’s hard to say. Another year of Mullen for franks and he would’ve made strides too. Trask was definitely better than the high school tuba player they made him out to be tho

 

[drvenner]

Soft.

 

[volinbama256]

they are not going to match us up with Penn St who was at one time in the playoff discussion... Mich is a heavy maybe... I know folks are jacked right now after the big win and see us peaking and momentum high, but we need to be matched up with a team that we have a legit chance of competing with so it will be the last thing recruits remember... I don't want to have such a incredible second half of the season and then get matched up unfairly and get torched... not a good ending...

 

[butchna]

JJ a hero, Brady Hoke a zero.

Enjoy the results.
