Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Like a flesh eating fungus?

Maybe lol

I know @Ulysees E. McGill has harped on this, but I just rewatched a lot of the game and UK’s blatant holding on offense is amazing. It’s like every snap, and sometimes by multiple OL.

I think anyone down on our defense, especially the lack of sacks and TFLs should consider that. With different reffing I think UK stalls on MANY of those productive drives of there’s and our defense gets off the field much quicker.

I think the refs called it fair in a way..they were "letting them play"...they didn't call holding on us either. It is just that approach played to Kentucky's strengths and was a very big advantage for them. There were several third down plays that they converted that would have stalled out scoring drives if the blatant holding/bear hugging and blocking in the back was called.

That approach by the refs had literally no bearing on us as we rarely got to third down...so that is why I say it was a big advantage for UK.

I said last night that I thought the fix was in, but in retrospect I don't think so.

21 point dogs? I was expecting 17 tbh

When your opponent is averaging 33 pt margin of victory...just vs conference opponents. Hate to say it, but they're blistering other SEC teams.

That said, if our defense played anywhere close to their standard yesterday, then yeah I could see 17...which means maybe there's a bit of value there. Hopefully the D gets a fire lit under them this week.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

He already deserves a pay raise

I agree. He needs to be making at least 5 million per year.

 

[ACvol3]

The sports source is the worst UT talk show of all time.. grumpy old men doing nothing but complaining about everything they can possibly think of. The game has passed them by and they don’t like it. Somebody needs to old yeller that show and just put it out of its misery if they can’t replace the ppl on it… good grief

 

[volbeast33]

If Tennessee finishes the regular season 7-5 and wins the bowl game does Heupel receive a pay raise?

They pretty much do every year that you decide to keep them…. Just depends on how much…. The only thing that really matters is the buy out.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

It’s so fun seeing this. Last 3 years was like watching military boot camp. Just miserable, and gloom looking back now.

Last time Tennessee played Kentucky a coach was fired mid game

 

[peaygolf]

What kind of travesty is that board format

some Hokie site.

 

[therickbol]

So this Volpix is from Rhea Co and as small as Rhea is he should not be hard to find out who this clown is. Time to ask around

My hometown. Hard to narrow it down with the number of crazies down there.

He’s really an incredible offensive coach. If I’m being honest Henson Hooker is nothing special. But he’s made him look like those old Texas Tech QBs that threw 5k a year.

WR's are open on almost every play, by a Country mile. Hooker does possess confidence and moxy.

But mostly the Receivers are open.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

And we don't have enough speed at LB.

Beasley is a liability...for now, but I think he will get better.

 

[engineerVOL]

some Hokie site.

It’s an abdomination

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

And/or agility. I've seen us in position more than a few times and the QB has juked us out of our shoes. Saw the same Corral runs vs Auburn and they demolished him and punished him for running around.

Yep..

Somehow he knows precisely when to run that little RB trap draw that reels off 10-20 yards.

 

[delfonic]

A raise is fine but NO EXTENSION.

 

[BaldBiker]

A raise is fine but NO EXTENSION.

Evey time we give an extension bad things happen.

English please. Or Russian, whichever.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Oh I'm 100% not complaining and I love him. I wanted him day 1. Just an observation that I hope the team takes note of and takes efforts to keep his hands actively warm on the sideline.

I really hope he comes back next year. I think he will be a Heisman candidate.

Didn’t think you were complaining. It’s just hard for me to consider what may be wrong with the way he is performing and after years of JG.

I always think the refs are against us. Quite often, we don't get the benefit of calls. But a lot of that has to do with how bad we've been. Refs tend to favor the more successful teams. Intentional or not, there appears to be bias in calls.

I think that stuff was just an excuse for what happened in that Clemson game…. The Hokies staff and medical team didn’t seem too on board with that reason for what happened during that game…. I really hope he decides to come back although I feel JH will have that position performing no matter who the QB is.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

No i don’t. I still think Tony Elliot is a great coach and recruiter. That doesn’t mean I’m not very happy with Heupel and what he’s done so far. Clemson has a lot of issues internally. Dabo and their admin hasn’t been as helpful with players & their NIL potential which is causing major issues inside their locker room.

Elliot sucks

 

[Ron Swanson]

One to watch in the portal per AP…

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That’s not the argument. It’s about leading a program and i believe Tony can do that just like JH can. Ones scheming and play calling is maybe 25% of what it takes to be a successful HC. I don’t even know what we’re arguing tbh lol

This is a classic "Hank take"...c'mon man TE has been exposed.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I will argue that Heupel's play calling and scheming this year has meant much much more than 25%.

It's not an argument..it is a fact.
