Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Quick everyone, don’t quote a certain poster and see where this goes.

SIAP.....Been thinking about yesterday’s game and in spite of how terrible and undisciplined Tennessee played if they make two plays on D it’s a whole different game. If they catch the INT and recover the strip that UGA’s OL recovered we might be talking about a different game.

Tennessee still has to play better and would’ve struggled to win anyway, but they aren’t that far away even when playing terrible.

Our OL got punked. That’s the story of the game. Even with the lead and them spotting us 7, they were dominating the LOS and controlling the flow of the game.

 

[HankHill]

Yeah, it's called having a two deep on your front seven full of four and five stars.

That’s exactly what our OL is......

 

[butchna]

That we competed at all. The O line got dominated all day, we never sustained a long drive. And our defense gave up 300 yards to UGA at the half thats not good. We were lucky to be up at the half because of a flukey bad snap. It wasn't close.

We were up because of two TD passes.

See Pickens come up running his mouth to Thompson !! Game was over He shoulda laid Pickens on his damn back

Pickens will cost them the big one this year. Mark my words.

Georgia laid the blueprint on how to stop our running game!..JG better figure it out or Pruitt better start giving reps to the other QB’s...this season won’t be fun when it comes to prime time games.

Have an elite DL? Mizzou stacked the box, and we ran for 232. LSU ran for 49 and Bama ran for 111 against them. We should be able to run on most other teams.

Too late...but I’ll do better.

No argument here. And I’m not saying that Tennessee would’ve won the game because they were getting NOTHING done on O, but make those plays it’s likely a different game.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Saban has been at UA, what 9/10 years?
Smart got dealt a loaded deck at UG and has been recruiting lights out for 4 years.
Mullen has been a proven HC for what 7-8 years, and again didn’t exactly take over a sh!t roster.
Pruitt has 2.5 recruiting classes and is in his 3rd year as hC and we’re suppose to be beating the likes of the above mentioned?
Yes, would be nice, and would nice to put a full competitive game together against them, but we are now beating the teams we are suppose to. One step at a time here.
Give Pruitt a full 4 year recruiting cycle and I think we’ll be there, or damn close.

He’s getting a full 4 years clearly. He’s got us on the right track. I think we are all
Upset JG and the offensive line played the way they did. Our defense was playing well for what we have. The defense has come a very long way.

 

[beneVOLence]

100% if JG comes back he’ll start again. Seems like they’re terrified to take a risk a QB even if the reward is great

I guarantee you our opponents want to see him come back.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

So how do we feel about Mims? Does that loss hurt us with him?

I don't think so. I think he sees a team that is improving and that he can help it get better quickly.

I said sustained drives. But not really take the fluke 7 off the board and ????

 

[Crazy Ivan]

So we open as a 6.5 point favorite in the UK game. I’m saying we cover easily. They won’t be able to score on us, and our O-line will look more like it did against Mizzou than UGA.

UK has a solid front 7 so I would expect the OL to perform similar to the SC game, hopefully a little better. As long as we avoid the TOs that killed MSU against the cats last night we should be ok though, as you noted, they are probably worse than us offensively, although I think their OL is performing much better than ours because their OL has the cohesiveness that ours lacks at this point. Their QB can run but can't throw consistently and they don't have but maybe one receiver who can catch the ball. Just spy Wilson and we can shut them down.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Hold steady butchna

I still don't understand how he's eligible. UGA has to be making sure he's take 4 PE classes a semester

You forgot to mention our line out weighed both of those teams lines by 40 to 50 pounds THATS why they were man handled that stuff won’t happen from here on out...we will be playing big boy football after Kentucky.

 

[HankHill]

I mean yea but they also handed us 7 points. That cancels it out for me

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Except he was rushing with only 5.

I expected their rush to concentrate on out left side. We have right-handed QBs and poor blocking from out TEs. In addition, our running backs are getting killed by the rush because they are giving 50-70 pounds to their DEs and LBs. If they try to cut the rushers and miss, the rushers have a clean shot at the QB.

 

[Dooby15]

Then we handed them 6 to start the 2nd half. Credit the D for those 2 holds. Pretty sure UGA has negative net yards on those 2 possessions.

We have not had a good pass blocking RB since CMG left.

Then why did Alabama run 36 times for 111? Harris had a decent day, but UT ran for a lot more. While the OL certainly needs to play better, I’m not calling it doomsday because they played an elite defense. They can run on every other team here on out.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Man, if you think what you are seeing now is the same **** you were seeing when we were going 5-7 or 4-8 then you are just a miserable b****.

Well, we do have the same old QB.

 

[Devo182]

I think one thing that isn’t brought up enough which holds back the offense is the tight end position. Seeing how defenses struggle to scheme against these mismatches like Kyle Pitts, Jalen Wydermyre, and this one hurts Arik Gilbert. Especially in games like yesterday where you struggle to protect your QB for any length of time and it’s a all about the short to intermediate passing game. It hurts when defenses don’t have to respect that position.

Hudson Wolfe can’t get here soon enough.

Was thinking about that earlier. Our TE rn is a non factor and that's a big drag on our attack. Can't wait to get a true passcatching threat at TE in here. Honestly most excited about Miles.

 

[SaguaroVols]

We got our ass handed to us by a better team. It is what it is. We just weren't good enough and made too many mistakes.

Scrimmage tonight to find our best players at their positions, learn from the experience and move on to UK.

I think we finish 8-2. Lose to Bama and beat UF. We will be a much better team by season's end.
