Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[UTK]

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

I'm not sure why there's not more screen passes to Gray honestly.

I like your ideas but I disagree a lot with you not likely 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.

JG has been solid on QB sneaks this year, don't see the problem with it

I fear he's going to fumble every time. The play itself is fine, just not with him. Idk why I feel that way, just do.

Alabama flashbacks I guess? I guess I can understand that. I just feel like it's an automatic first down though, so I think you have to keep it

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.

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.

I can’t watch it like I used to. It’s just awful game after awful game, constantly. College football is not a playoff sport either.

Our inability to get a sneak to work goes back a long dang time. The Dooley years we couldn’t get any push at all but now we finally are getting it. Short yardage offense and defense is one of our strengths

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

I disagree with all of this. Mostly because it doesn't make sense. There are 4 spots available in the current playoff format. In the BCS model there were only 2. That means there is, theoretically, twice the opportunity to make the playoff as opposed to the BCS title game.

If the BCS system were still in place the game would still be between some combination of Alabama, OSU, and Clemson most of the last several years (with exceptions obviously: LSU last year for example). The playoff isn't the problem at all. It's just the current state of college football that these teams are owning their conferences. It's almost like how the Women's Final Four was/is basically the some combination of the same group of teams every year. There's not as much parity.

Unless you have a coaching staff that does not develop players and players who do not care to win!

The one we have now?

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

You could take it a step further. The players that transferred out where did they end up? Other power 5 schools...nope...places like Central Arkansas...they were never SEC talent to begin with.

I will leave that up to other fans to decide. Just proposing some valid reasons. Inquiring minds sure want to know!

Classless

 

[engineerVOL]

I see red when I see Florida. I hate that program so incredibly much. It’s not healthy.

 

[BruinVol]

Classless

I think mason is the classless one there

Now I would need to know exactly what happened on the injury before I make that a firm opinion

 

[volatil]

51 for Florida has an assistant coach from Missouri by the head. Looks to be swinging then kicks the coach.

Hope this isn’t bad

While I agree with you to a certain extent we still should’ve beat Kentucky I’m willing to bet their attrition is far less than ours plus those guys are who Stoops recruited and have developed.

The article says he's alert and orient, but its more than just dinged up.

Just sifted through the boys’ Halloween candy and ate all the pumpkin-shaped Reese’s cups and blue-raspberry airheads.

Shouldn't matter. I buy the recruiting argument against UGA and ALA. Not against UK.
