Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[GoBigOrange86]

College football is losing its parity and it starts with the playoffs. The fact that the same teams are in it every year is clear that there is a problem. It’s staring to lose its magic during the season. Obviously UT being bad for so long doesn’t help lol.

People wanted the playoffs so bad. Well here you go. Enjoy!

I agree, I kind of wish we could go back to the BCS model where teams actually had a chance.

Absolutely wish we’d go back.

Nope need to expand the playoffs FCS style.

Super weak post. The playoffs didn't cause the problem, they're highlighting it. Truly abysmal logical leap.

 

[tnhunter 10]

If we can run on Arkansas, we win.

Well now you’re starting to hurt my feelings.

they aren’t good against the run. We will rush for 200

 

[UTK]

Alright we are all guilty of thinking Mizzou had a decent QB. ZERO OFFENSIVE POINT against UFs ****** Defense. That's just bad.

Why? Is that not just the top 2 teams in each conference? I may be wrong, so I'm generally asking.

Should mirror the Mizzou game in all honesty if they team is still all there

 

[jave36]

People making a big deal out of Mizzou hit. That was pretty vanilla roughing the passer. Shoulder to chest, clearly a penalty, but not some horrific Myles Garrett helmet swing.

I tried not to make it personal you're a good poster, but I couldn't help myself.

I don't know the actual schematics but maybe. But its 16 I believe which would create more chances. More teams in the wealth will spread out a little

Yep.

Run the ball
Stop the run
And make Franks beat us. Franks is very solid now but not good enough to beat us if we win the running games on both sides of the ball

Like to see us doing some more of the jumbo packages. I would like to see us quit using JG for QB sneaks. Let's wrinkle some QB run plays with Jimmy Holiday.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I still FEEL like we can have a decent season but then my BVS flares up and I have nightmares of 3-7 or even 2-8. Maybe it’s something I ate.

Basically. Run Eric Gray to death, take some deep shots to Palmer and Hyatt. Should be our game plan the rest of the year anyways. Hope and pray the defense has figured out how to cover a middle of the field pass.

The bye week came at a good time, I think we’ll see a bit of a youth movement (at least on the defensive side) and come out fired up IMO.

Staff has to find a way to get to 5-5. Think you can keep the class together at that record for the most part

Maybe we can throw a slant every once and a while also.

I highly doubt you see many lol. Clear they don't trust JG to do anything in the middle of the field

No, but we need to try as our offense to to easy to defend. Try something lol

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

If anyone wonders why we are where we are as a program just look at our senior class. Count how many are still in the program and then count how many are contributors to the current team.
Tennessee 2017 Football Commits
Now go look at our Juniors, not much better (I don’t consider this CJP class)
Tennessee 2018 Football Commits

13 players in that senior class are no longer with the program, 4 rarely or never play, then there are a few starters and a few regular contributors.

5 of the 2018 players are no longer with the team. 5 are starters

I like your ideas but I disagree a lot with you not liking the QB sneak game. We have had just an awful time over the years with 3rd/4th and short and our sneaks this year have been very successful.
