Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Vols2DaWall]

Nebraska still packs their stadium. Michigan still packs theirs.

Michigan won 10, 10, 8, 10, and 9 games from 2015 to 2019.

 

[chavisut]

Michigan has still been better than UT. Nebraska is a decent point I guess, but I still think knocking the effort by the fans is ludicrous after the **** show that is UT football for going on 15 years now.

Nebraska has a sold out streak and their fans are probably desperate to hold onto any relevance.

We can lose to anyone with Hooker at QB. Teams will start making him throw.

Also this:

Pitt had 98 plays in regulation, holy schnikes.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

This is craziness Cat. SC needed a last second field to beat East Carolina. We will throttle them. I’m not so sure we beat anyone other than SC and Vandy though in SEC play. I think Kentucky and Mizzou will be tough games that could go either way.

Agree with this. UT beats Andy and SC. Ole Miss is a definite loss with UF, UGA, Bama, and UGA. UK and Mizzou are more of a toss up but on the more likely-to-lose side

 

[VolGee4]

Ole miss is going to boat race us

Their defense still stinks. But I expected nothing different from you.

 

[engineerVOL]

So did Heupel share what happened to Milton and is he out for an extended period?

 

[chavisut]

Michigan won 10, 10, 8, 10, and 9 games from 2015 to 2019.

This. Harbaugh hasn’t gotten them over the elite hump but Michigan has consistently won with him.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Also this:

Meh I don’t see how it’s gifts from Pitt offense that had zero turnovers….. special teams gave us one blocked punt that counted.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Their defense is improved. It’s probably closer to average. And their offense is elite with Corral being the best QB in the SEC. They are gonna drop 50 on us

This. 2016 fans packed the stadium. Pruitts first year fans packed the stadium. Against BG fans did ok numbers wise. But add in the **** sandwich fans have been served the last decade, covid # rising, a noon kick, and attendance looked ok. But I don't blame anyone not wanting to go until they actually show something

 

[volfanCLT]

The worst one was missing wide open Tillman. Just have to lay that one up to where he is. Not even lead him.

Yeah that was baddddd. Backbreaker

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Our only hope is that it's the random game where Corral decides to throw 7 picks because

 

[BigOrange15]

All my friends are either Alabama, Ohio State or Florida fans. So it really sucks for me. I hear the same #$%^ every year from them. Why do you even waste your time watching them play? I'm like I don't know man. It's like a drug I can't escape from. I know we suck yet here I am every year watching us suck. I keep telling myself, we gonna get better but I've been telling myself that since 2009.

You need better friends.

 

[SCvol333]

A rich booster bought the rest on their last game and gave it to underprivileged kids I believe. Really nice gesture. But a very fake sellout. And it’s Nebraska. What the hell else you going to do

 

[rjd970]

Yeah I’m probably not even going to tune in for the Bama, UGA, and Ole Miss games. I might check on it throughout the day, but I have better things to do.

 

[VolGee4]

We can lose to anyone with Hooker at QB. Teams will start making him throw.

Also this:

They didn’t turn the ball over on offense, and we got 34 points on gifts? Something wrong with that data.

 

[volfanCLT]

I definitely saw why Milton was starting over Hooker. If Milton could get on page with WRs deep ball this offense would be dangerous. The one he threw to Hyatt was on money to start game.

Agreed. If Milton has a cannon, Hooker has a Red Ryder. That arm is not good haha

But if Milton overthrows everyone by 1/4 mile, that arm does us no good. Tough place to be for CJH

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Also this:

Yep, we gonna be SUPER predictable the rest of the way because we can’t do squat on offense unless the other team hands us a layup.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

It gave me flashbacks to JG over throwing DWA in Gainsville 2 years ago

Starting field position and offensive ineptitude on the other side goes a long way in this calculation, I imagine.

There were a few times I thought Pitt could have put that game away yesterday but their offense stalled - some of that has to do with our defense, but a lot of it is simply they are bad on offense.

 

[VolGee4]

I don’t understand this. The offense is light years ahead of last year, and once again, we had guys running open all day. The offensive scheming is really good. Of course, the execution has to be there. We were not handed layups yesterday. One block punt. We had to settle for two FG’s and a loss of downs inside the 10.

 

[rjd970]

After looking at the rest of the SEC scores, it definitely feels like we are just ahead of Vanderbilt overall and that's it.

We should definitely beat SC. Mizzou you would hope would at least be a pick’em.

But I feel like the rest of your take is probably right. We will give effort and it may be entertaining, but we aren’t beating/upsetting anybody decent with our QB room and penalties.

 

[UTProf]

Won 2 of last 4. Nobody on UK roster gonna be scared of the Power T sadly.

Whoopedy doo. They did not win last game. They were gifted last game. No self respecting UT fan or player should be scared of a UK team that feasts on bad and mediocre teams and loses to bad UT teams (which should give you a clue as to the squishiness of their schedule).

Lol, so they are bad on offense against our defense, but we get gifts when we score on offense? That’s ridiculous. We had guys running open all day.

Narduzzi went ultra conservative as well. If they kept letting Pickett throw the middle, etc they could’ve named the score. Our defense is still awful at pass defense
