Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[SoilVol]

Every player on both teams gave their all's tonight. It very well could cost Corral a Heisman, because we battered and bruised him all night long. But as Kiffin said, they didn't have a choice.

Matt Corral gave Ole Miss the winning edge, and it still was a 50/50 game. Lots of shoulda/woulda/coulda in this game. Namely, I really wish we had Evans tonight. And the refs were atrocious.

But... even though it didn't go our way that was an awesome game for a sports fan. That was an incredible, unforgettable experience for a recruit. I'm just proud to be a Vol fan right now, and I just simply haven't had much Vols to be proud of for a long time. We're going to get our upset.

Man, I was proud of this team. Ole Miss had some fantastic lead blocking on those QB draws. We missed the Mays and Evans a ton. I did not come away from this loss hopeless as I have in recent years- we actually brought it to them in the second half. Horrible officiating. This is going to be a fun coach to get behind.

 

[volKano]

Ole Miss scored 7 points in the second half!!!

That’s great coaching.

It is but you are acting like Shane Beamer right now.

 

[orangejuice]

I’m super concerned about hooker

 

[UpstateVol613]

Felt like a coming out party for Omari Thomas tonight.

 

[zhangliao04]

Bailey is not invested I guess, no way. Is there a Jancek boy around?

I’ve seen enough of Milton. Put Bailey in and see what he gives you. If it’s the same then go full old Georgia Tech and have Tiyon go under center until Hooker is back lol.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

If we don’t recruit players now and get about a dozen quality transfers we are going to slip into the eternal basement of the SEC.

What?!?! How can you watch this tram with seventy something scholarship players and say that?

 

[drvenner]

We lost this game in the first half, IMO. Worst half of offensive football we have played, IMO.

I also agree that the SEC HAS to do something about the officiating. It gets worse every year.

 

[JCP201]

Exactly. Absolutely moronic. We need to ride with Bailey if Hooker is out. Let Joe transfer to Wofford or something if he wants to play football

It goes back to being able to run with our offensive line almost half dead. We are in a rock and a hard place. Hope Hooker is okay.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

We had a chance to have a decent year yet we shat our pants when we played any team with a pulse. USC barely beat Andy and Mizzou is hot trash.

Heupel can beat bad teams but our teams have looked ill-prepared when we’ve played UF, Pitt, and now OM. Those were the games we could have won and went 0-3.

Lots of injuries and Bama next week is gonna be painful

15 years of humiliation when does it end

Not having Evans was huge. I think we win this game and Pitt if he plays.

No we’re not. This coaching staff has something different. They get more out of players rather than less. Of course I’ll be stoked if they light the recruiting world on fire and I hope we do- but they’re not ever going to be at the bottom.

 

[zhangliao04]

We need about 30 portal players

I’m certain we will be hitting the portal again this year. I mean, we have to. Right?

 

[whitw]

I’m officially on the **** lame kiffin lane train

I’ve been there since his departure. He can rot.

But Milton doesn’t run. He runs like he’s a 160 pound high school freshman.

Compare him running to a guy like Corral. Corral was running over our defenders and is nowhere near the size of Milton

 

[JCP201]

Tell me right now if we were Bama the AD wouldn’t be on the phone to the conference right now demanding an explanation.

Anybody blaming the fans can screw off. The frustration is absolutely, 100% justified. I would still be throwing crap on the field right now.

I guess I'll screw off, then. It's sad that after that game those players played, its gonna be completely overshadowed by some stupid drunk fans.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

The part that makes me the angrier that he casually ran out of bounds and didn’t want to get hit. If your gonna run it, be ready to lateral for **** sake.

Exactly. If Matt Corral takes off, first down, touchdown or whatever that guy is not running out of bounds. Then our guy, as big as a linebacker runs out of bounds on fourth down last play of the game. Just no defense for what he did. Garbage. Can’t do it.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Felt like a coming out party for Omari Thomas tonight.

He definitely flashed.

We lost points on the scoop score and made the 4th down play late in the game. We didn’t lose…just weren’t allowed to win.

You watching the games on a black and white 13” with rabbit ears? Cause we’re watching entirely different teams.

Yep. And the fans let the officials and conference know, and rightfully so.

You never disappoint. We could have won, and you would still be bitching. I swear some of our fans.
