Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[UTProf]

UF will teabag us

Probably but I don't care. We don't have the horses to compete there. Spurrier's been the only coach to admit it but as he said 'there's nothing fair about college football.' Understand that and understand that right now we're playing with less talented guys. Do well with those guys and start getting better ones. There's no avoiding the licks because right now we're not playing a fair game.

Hot take –

We did a lot better today than I thought we would – even if we’d been at 100% at running back. I thought our running game was still suspect but between Milton & Hooker we got some yards on the ground.

Our passing game picked up once Hooker took over. The interception at the end is a high probability when you’re playing from behind.

Pitt is not a good rushing offense and our run defense was top 10 last week. It will still be top 10 after this week.

I think our pass defense needs a pass rush. If BY is as advertised he’ll be a huge help to our back end.

Mistakes and discipline issues are fairly common for teams with a first year staff.

I thought Pickett would be the difference in this game along with the fact that this was a well-established team under Narduzzi.

We could have won the game. That surprised me. Even though we lost I think there were a lot more positives than I would have expected.

We need more bodies.............now.

All this is jmo.

Exhibit C

National and local media told us all summer we were low on scholarship players, this was going to be a long rebuild.

No amount of whining and complaining changes that plain reality.

New flash: recruiting will be mediocre too because of the NCAA violations. People have been saying that all summer too.

Again making simple decisions.
Double news flash, recruiting will be mediocre because of JH, I never thought he would recruit at an elite level.

It’s like you guys forgot how boring and bad last year was. It was very boring and very bad.

This is fun chaos. Embrace the growth, wear your cups, and enjoy the ride.

Sigh @Weezer where are you? Right now I'm processing this while the OH doesn't know where he is. I hate this illness. Tell me there's a light at the end of this long ass tunnel.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I have nothing positive to say

 

[KPT_VFL]

The backup QB is always the favorite

HB wins the game today

 

[KPT_VFL]

I’m not *****ing up until HB is the starter

 

[mr.checkerboards]

HB wins the game today

Im not convinced. Pitt doesnt crowd the box and leave deep throws open against Bailey, we dont know what wouldve happened.

Agreed no one wants to come here now. It’s irrelevant now but if they would have made a HOMERUN hire after Fulmer (instead of Kiffin) when the UT name still meant something but our administration has completely botched this program. Heupel’s not the answer. He was always going to be a “filler” coach. The reality now and going forward is that UT is at best a 6-6/7-5 team, maybe a 8-4 sprinkled in there.

A&M losing to Colorado

Haynes King is on crutches on the sideline

Losses suck but we are better than last year. We have a serious problem at QB tho.

I was wondering why this other kid was playing.

Wear a cup (and your mask)

WTH are they doing in Raleigh?

This, at best I thought after JH we would still be one hire away. His ceiling is 9-3 maybe a random 10-2

Better to keep the locale incognito. Cup and a mask?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

With our RBs out, we would've been in big trouble without a QB who could run.

VN has me convinced that injuries to starters doesn’t matter

 

[Jackcrevol]

hope we dont stray from the run. Need Tiyon back. And a pass rush.

 

[UTProf]

Truth. I don't think HB could've helped us this game even if he passed like Jesus you have to have some run threat or you won't be able to throw.

 

[Smokeytom]

Please stop talking like we will hang with Florida. Come on.

Pitt is awful compared to the gators.

You know nothing, Jon Snow.

Tennessee's rebuild could really be sped up if the NCAA makes changes to the transfer portal limit.
