Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

This is the bottom of CBS Sports’s team rankings of FBS teams. Looks like Pitt didn’t learn much about itself either this first game:View attachment 392276

But Kentucky fans think they are going to win the East after beating up on ULM.

I will leave a penny just to be as big a jackass as the server if they are a rude indifferent lazy jerk.

We’ll this is just a HUGE surprise!
If you’re going to do something like this just go to McDonalds.

I’m rewatching the BG game now. Milton didn’t impress me when I was at the game, but after watching it on tv I feel differently. I think the drops and not really getting the ball in the second quarter affected his rhythm.

I felt the same way today while rewatching. Lots of things are fixable.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

In his defense, the SEC chant is also stupid. Who cheers for a conference lol. Yay Bama keeps making us look like a pee wee football team GO SEC

I have done a 180 on this over the years..screw the SEC. Screw everybody that ain't a Vol..

But Kentucky fans think they are going to win the East after beating up on ULM.

They are worse than the Candybuilt Commodewhore bandwagoneers during the Franklin years..but we need to shut this crap down quick before it becomes a real thing. I don't think Stoops will go anywhere and the stability and solid coaching will make them a huge pain in the ass if we don't shut it down quickly.

I rewatched the first couple of drives and I am hopeful that Milton’s clock will speed up against Pitt. He got the ball out pretty quickly on the first drive and the first few plays of the second drive, but when BG only rushed 3, he started taking more and more time. Then, that play to Hyatt on the sideline reinforced that behavior. He had all day to throw on several plays and he started taking that time to try and make the big play because of the level of the opponent. I’m rambling, but if he plays against Pitt like the first drives against BG, we will be ok.

This is a good diagnosis.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I agree. But Clemson has a lot to cleanup on O. Their new QB didn’t look ready last night. Ncsu, Syracuse, and a couple others will make it close and maybe get a W. Plus their fanbase is in meltdown mode bigtime. They hate Tony Elliot. Many really wanted him to take the UT job.

UGA defense is as good as it gets.

Ive never liked their offense. Not even when pretty boy was there. Glad we missed it.

Heupel said on his show on two plays where I remember play looking awkward with him running and then he stopped before contact… that those were busted plays between WR and QB. Makes more sense now to why in some plays Milton ran with a little more juice and forward than others when’re he seemed to brace for contact. Also shows he at least has ability to get positive yards out of busts even if it isn’t the prettiest.

I agree. I think while there, in the moment, all I could see was the bad (probable undiagnosed bvs). Rewatching the game has given me a different perspective.

 

[Weezer]

Only way to win vs Pitt is to control the run game. We don't have the talent to pass on them.

Sometimes, you make me want to go to my local Publix and punch the guy at the deli.

Doug Matthews mentioned this today. Said Milton almost had too much time to a fault and led to him thinking go long instead of hitting the hole in the zone. BG was playing deep and saying your going to have to find the holes. He did that early on the first two drives then he started wanted to hit the big play

 

[Jackcrevol]

As long as I get at least decent service, I like to think I'm a generous tipper. But bad service definitely effects the tip. (That's what he said?)

Knocking some dead wood down in backyard Black Oak with the wife. Throwing football up knocking limbs down. Allows for some great comedic opportunities...'hey honey, just the tip?'

'huh?'

'where should I hit the wood?' 'just the tip?'

Lucky lady.

Huh? On the steelers or the pitt panthers?

 

[volbeast33]

Another thing about our offense from all I have studied about it
The positives is how easy it is to learn….. the way they teach their QBs…. Huge stats by offensive personnel
Negatives are QBs don’t learn post snap progressions as well…… limited route tree by wide receivers.

The way our offense is suppose to run is they call plays based on how the defense sets up….The qb typically knows the 1-2 guys that may get the ball before the snap…. Sometimes on the back side….. wide receivers take plays off when they know they are not involved in the play…. This is part of why I think it will look pretty different this weak….. Bowling Greens defensive alignment called for us to run the ball….

I’ve Not see it discussed on here but

The entire conversation for Vol fans around JG is pretty simple. No one likes to be wrong. Add to that, the fear that it was us holding JG back from his potential rather than JG holding us back from ours.

JG is a referendum on were we right / what was the bigger problem.

cant wait to hear the local morans quip on where to find the holes.

I’m taking my family to the Tennessee Tech game in a couple of weeks. My little girl is six and my little boy is three. It will be their first Tennessee game. I’m super pumped about it. I really want them to love the University of Tennessee as much as I do.

These your kids? Mini trash cans?

 

[tnhunter 10]

What I would do is ask him if he was thirsty..then I would pick a water out of my cooler, walk up to him and hold it out to to him....and then slowly pour it out on the ground in front of him, turn around..hop in my car..and laugh while I give him the finger as I drive away...

No lie, I was in Iraq and gave some kids some water bottles out of my HUMVEE and they opened the bottles gave me a smart ass grin and poured the water out.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I think I am going to start supporting them by going to games since it is close to me. I like Randy Sanders, I think he has worked hard and gotten everything he could out of his ability.

 

[DawgInterloper]

Or maybe clemsons offense is as bad as it gets…or a little of both…

I think probably the last thing you said is right, a little of both. Over reacting and extrapolating how teams look in the first game of the season is what we fans do. For coaches, this is when the thinking part begins; see what you have and what everybody else has and start trying to build an advantage.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I thought Eliotts play calling impaired Lawrence at times.

Hahaha!!! Absolutely!!! Great post, @Weezer!!!
