Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[turdherder11]

Still can't believe this crew and the scoop and score called back

 

[Ace]

Tough loss. This team will not quit. Great effort. Good things in the future. We are ahead of where I thought we would be with Heupel.

 

[VolInDayton]

That is football. Refs making **** up is not.

Refs were atrocious. Our first half was bad. We came up a little short.

 

[JT3]

I have never seen so many fake injuries in my life.

Definitely a buzz kill.

 

[BigOrange15]

Milton didn't even know what time it was when the play started, he looked up at the damn clock at the end of the run like he was going to have another second.

I sure hope our recruiting picks up because we got some coaches that actually know how to coach. Now if we can just reduce the amount of injuries that would also be great.

Refs were atrocious. Our first half was bad. We came up a little short.

We didn’t really. We scored more points than they did. The refs for no apparent reason took points off the board and made a terrible statement during the game for what happened.

Until the referees are held accountable this is not going to change.

 

[SoilVol]

1. I really thought we were finally going to get one... It hurts.

2. What a game. There were a dozen people at a Virginia Tech tailgate that hung around all night to watch the end of that because it was a classic.

Go Vols. I hope Hooker is okay, because Milton got his eyes fixed but left is brain in the waiting room.

 

[engineerVOL]

Is Milton so blind he thought the the 15 was checkerboard? I dunno.

 

[BigOrange15]

Heupel is 100% it. This loss ****ing sucks but we've got the coach, now let's get some recruits and get this show on the road. Super pumped about where we are headed, we were THIS damn close.

The Beautiful

Neyland stadium rocking on a crisp Fall evening.

The crowd for the first 59 minutes and six seconds of the game

The Good

Defensive Line

Hendon Hooker

Matt Corral (he is really, really good)

Second half adjustments

The fight, effort and drive for four quarters

Cedric Tillmon

Velus Jones, Jr.

Jabari Small ran very hard

Spraggins block on one of the long runs. He stayed with his man for about 20 yards

Our ability to find ways to gain yards and score points with a severely depleted OL

Byron Young

Matthew Butler

Theo still playing very well

The Bad

Two crucial holding penalties

The call when we had a scoop and score that was overturned

Our OL play and offensive scheme in the first half

Allowing 60 plays for Ole Miss in the first half

The Ugly

Our inability to stop Matt Corral on the QB draw or other designed runs

The debris flying on the field after the fourth down play was marked one yard short and was a very bad spot

Our depth overall and the OL depth especially

Lane Kiffin's stupid face

Grades

Offense

B- if we have a decent first half, we likely win

Defense B + (definitely played well enough to win)

Special Teams

C + minus a full letter grade for the muffed punt, plust half a letter grade for the punt return that gave us a chance

Coaching

B

Overall

B-

We made too many mistakes in the first half to overcome. I am very encouraged and may be more impressed with our defensive staff than with our offensive staff. Next week is Bama and I do not expect a win, but you will no doubt see this team fight and play hard for the whole game.

I am nervous about Hendon's injury. I hope it is not too serious. I think we have found our coach. Seven wins is still on the table.

Go Vols!!

 

[orangejuice]

Honestly the SEC refs have proven to be absolutely terrible. I mean even the inconsistency of holding calls can really change the outcome of games, let along the erroneous crap we constantly see.

 

[VolInDayton]

It's annoying how much talk there is about Ole Miss players being injured when we played that game without 2 offensive lineman and our best running back with a thin team.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

As a fellow official, that was utter

Officials should be publicly graded like everyone else and held accountable for egregious errors.

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Proud of all the Vol fans in the stands. You all showed more fight than the University’s administration has in 20 years.

 

[TennSam]

Exciting game but gonna be tough to swallow, especially if Mays and Hooker is out for a while.

Milton doesn’t deserve to be our qb.

Sec network is not going to show the no touchdown.

 

[VolInDayton]

Watching the SECReplay and they skip over the scoop and score. Which is a huge reason why everyone in the stadium is so mad.

 

[TennSam]

Proud of all the Vol fans in the stands. You all showed more fight than the University’s administration has in 20 years.

I agree!After Lane took the shot he did earlier in the week at our fan base he had it coming.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Sec network is not going to show the no touchdown.

Sex network you say?

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Sex network you say?

What are you talking about?

 

[orangejuice]

Honestly, just rest our entire first team for BAMA, and get ready for the rest of the season. Half the first team is on crutches anyway.

 

[drvenner]

Like Lane Kiffin has class

That is why we should be better. Totally uncalled for.
