I know what they were ranked in 2017, and I know how they got there and how hollow it was.

72 points vs. Missouri State, 34 points vs. Kentucky in a loss, 28 points vs. Georgia in a loss, 68 points vs. Idaho, 52 points vs. UCONN, 45 points vs. Florida (good showing here, but that team had quit on McElwain at this point.), 50 points vs. Tennessee (same thing for Butch Jones), 45 vs. Vanderbilt, 48 vs. Arkansas, 16 vs. Texas in the bowl.

Again, we are absolutely going to score points. Debating that would be silly. I just don't think this offense is built to score on teams that have similar talent or a talent advantage. We will feast on bad teams, no-show against good teams. And on the talent side, we've already lost basically an entire signing class to the portal, have a notoriously average recruiter as HC (and staff as it is currently constructed), and we will very likely have scholarship reductions for the next two to three years.

The more I read, I just don't know why we went in this direction. We needed someone who can do more with less because we were always going to have a lean couple of years.

Everybody sing!..
Just keep bitchin...
Dum.du.du.dum...

Just keep bitchin...

This is another play that I love because it’s so simple. JH starts the RB in the slot and when he moves back pre snap it signals immediately that they are in man... then they use the outside WR on a rub/pick route against the LB (which is already in a tough matchup) to basically have a wide open easy touch down on the wheel route. The LB just has no chance to defend this. Imagine doing this with beckwith.....

Florida ran this constantly from about mid season this year.

Nooooo not the screech!

 

[Nashvegas31]

We don’t need no stinking defense!

Man that is so sad. I'm same age. Prayers for family and friends.

 

[MarcoVol]

Wait so Jimmy is saying it’s important to have a DC?

Guess that’s why he makes the big bucks.

Is this the type of in-depth, detail-oriented research they encourage at MIT?

Sentiment analysis can actually be pretty powerful.

 

[TrippieRedd]

First 3 games.

Vols - 42
BG - 21

Vols - 35
Pitt - 24

Vols - 56
TTU - 14


Might as well be the first one.

 

[UTSuave’]

BasketVols jumped from 18 up to 11 after last week.

Figured it would be more...a lot of highly ranked teams lost last week

 

[bignewt]

how do we only have 3 spots left?

 

[MIT_Beaver]

Basing your opinion off of an anonymous fan forum is the equivalent to watching YouTube videos and becoming convinced there are lizard people running the government.

There are quite a few of well thought out and rational points that UCF fans have written about it. There are very few that I have seen that were mad, most were very happy. That is telling of their sentiment. Maybe there are silly fans or maybe they have observed Heupel in far greater detail than Vols fans.

Excitement will be high after 3-0

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I agree. But that is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGEEEE if.

Steele is in the office working today. He's right there.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Excitement will be high after 3-0

And that's exactly what we need. Ugh get us to the first 3 games.

Damn that’s sad.

Met him at a bar when I was in college and he was in town doing a show or an appearance or something.

He caught some bad press and it might have been deserved, but he was quite affable that night. Didn’t let a bunch of drunk college kids annoy him. Although his good mood could’ve been bc he kept disappearing with the owner of the bar to presumably do lines of coke but still.

There was very little I could eat without complications. I thought my pancreas was shutting down. This solved it in spades so I’ll await any pending research.

oh I agree it is great stuff....when I first went on it in 1992, I was in the emergency room doubled over thinking I was having a heart attack at age 36.

 

[Kingston Vol]

True, I thought Heupel was there during the years when the won the SEC. But you have to like this hire better than any of Dooley, Butch, or Pruitt, no? More HC experience, at least has a winning record as a HC... And I'd take 7-6 after going 3-7.

I wouldn't say more than Butch, but they are essentially the same.

It's going to come down to whether or not Heupel can recruit at an above average level and can he find a way to adjust his offense to protect the defense while not sacrificing points.

Well if I know one thing it’s that fans on a message board are known to be cool-headed, intelligent, deep thinkers who understand exactly what is going on with a team and coach that they only see 12 Saturdays per year.

Just like here on Volna........hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I just can’t with your logic, man.
