Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Just watch the Texas qb overthrow deep passes on back to back plays

 

[volatil]

Milton thinks this Texas QB is overthrowing everything

 

[Catbone]

Crazy to think on top of all this we still have the ***** NCAA breathing down our neck with sanctions

 

[jordan4vols]

Let’s talk about what we think moving forward. Do we think Hooker gets the start Saturday to get a game under his belt before Florida?

Switched to watching the US open women’s finals and it is AWESOME

THANK YOU ... Raducanu hits some bombs.

Based on Heupel's comment about how the quarterback position will be evaluated this week, I'm going to say yes.

It feels weird to be one of the optimistic people here, but I just don't think we looked that bad. Got a lot of dumb penalties to clean up and gotta protect the ball better.

Offensive play calling was strong, imo (I wasn't crazy about the 4th and 1 call, but it may have been different if we didn't have a bust in protection). We were scheming guys wide open with creative play designs.

Defense played very solid in the run game. We lack the ability to get pressure with front 4 and that killed us against a very capable veteran qb. But our defense and play calling was aggressive. Dudes flying around and tackling well (other than a couple of drives when the defense was gassed).

Kick coverage was a very solid unit. Very pleased with the field position advantage that gave us in spots.

And last but not least, the effort was there for the entire game. I didn't see anyone doggin it on any plays. It was balls out every snap the whole game from what I could tell. That kind of effort will pay off in the future.

In summary, I know it is frustrating to watch more losses in games that were winnable, but I think if we're patient with Heupel, we will be rewarded with teams that are fun to watch, easy to cheer for, and are capable of competing in the SEC. I really believe he will be able to do it given enough time to rebuild.

I think this is spot on. It sucks to lose when you had chances and I was definitely disappointed after the game, but some of the reactions in here tonight are surprising.

They’ll win 9 or 10 games this year. They have the best defense we’ll see outside of Bama and Uga

 

[SCvol333]

I also understand why they said coaches weren't impressed with the WR room. They are green. Hyatt will be a star but he's going through things. The other are talented but inexperienced. They will grow but we're gonna suffer growing pains with them.

Will he. His hands are garbage

 

[Weezer]

Not at all. Were you?

 

[franklinpence]

My only positive is that Hooker is better than Milton, but a fumble and INT doesn’t give me good vibes moving forward. Need to take care of the ball better

Stop calling plays where Hooker rolls left, and we avoid the fumbles. He looked uncomfortable every time they ran that. And the DLine was in his face every time.

 

[volatil]

I need to complete a bet slip with minimal bet.

Then


Make large bet on opposite teams on all games because I know nothing about football.

 

[butchna]

I told Jack Burton before the game we were about equal with Pitt. Nothing I saw changed my mind.

When you're equal levels the difference in winning & losing comes down to who makes less mistakes. They did and they won.


I will say that the new defensive staff has thus far impressed me. Especially the LB coaches. Imagine how good that group would look with some 4/5 stars back there. Banks is a converted RB, Mitchell, Page, & Beasley are 3 star guys that probably don't see the field at most SEC schools except on special teams. But they are competitive as hell.

Texas could’ve used Mitchell today.

 

[Catbone]

All I know is if we can't run the ball with our rbs we will lose almost every game left. OL must be better and Evans must stay healthy

I think Milton starts again. Hooker gets second half depending on score.

 

[UTProf]

No. Milton throws to the moon. Those passes are hard to catch. Hyatt will get it together.

 

[UTSuave’]

What did that DA say? I’m surprised he’s not been ran out of Knoxville.

Picked us to win

 

[SpringBokVol]

Hyatt hasn’t looked right these first two games. Bummer he got hurt. Hope he turns it on. I thought he was going to have a monster year.

 

[Jackcrevol]

SC played AT ECU?

 

[UTSuave’]

The accountability held in this video even against Mercer is beautiful wish we had some

Video emerges of Nick Saban going ballistic on Alabama’s defense against Mercer

2 games in. 5 starters out.

 

[UTProf]

Me too. I'm worried that Milton simply throws too hard for our receivers.

 

[volatil]

Arkansas is wrecking Texas

Not sure what a "raducanu" is.....but it sounds communist.
