Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

USCjr fans were worried they would start scoring vs a nationally worst defense because they were afraid their OC would keep his job...

Perfect

1Q Boys fall again this week but wgaf because we are eating Gator tonight. What a day.

It might be good that this game played out the way it did. We experienced all the Florida-game tropes:
- Big player out while they get one back;
- Lifeless QB plays the game of his career;
- Early drive-killing turnover;
- Wacky “typical Florida” ending…

but we prevailed. We faced the nightmares and didn’t flinch (much).

Was Peyton there?

“Hendon Hooker transfers to Tennessee.”

Me: “That guy will never see the field here.”

They don’t call me “Jimmy Football” for nothing…

After the Spring game in 2021, I thought he was third string at best.

TV joked that he was going to get arrested (in excessive celebration) if we won. The post you ask about was a joke about TV's joke. No worries.

Our secondary played like ass. No argument from me on that front. But I saw absolutely nothing from AR in the first three games to suggest that was going to happen. Dude made some extremely difficult throws and I can only remember the ball being off the mark once or twice.

Hopefully this was an outlier and the wheels fall off their ****, but the plan to make AR beat us with his arm from the pocket didn't work out.

I was surprised by some of his passes. It seemed like the gameplan was to stop the run and allow the pass. But, those 4th down conversions were painful. I haven't cussed that much in along time.

I know one thing for certain. This offense can play with anybody including Bama and Ga. Keyton with the catch of the year so far

 

[Girth Brooks]

Sorry if it’s already been asked, but anyone check on Tony Vitello????

Wouldn't Heupel be able to quickly spot exploitable flaws in Banks's gameplans?

If the exploitable flaws were in the gameplan, yes. But I daresay the majority of the exploitable flaws are in the personnel... and that's a more difficult thing to fix.

But every gameplan has flaws. It's knowing what those flaws are and being prepared to adjust as they're being exploited during the course of the game.

It hurts my feels that AR came into Neyland and had just an amazing game stat wise.

What I think of your feels.

Alabama has no class. Just scored with 30 seconds to go could have just taken a knee

Just because….

Let me reiterate. His game plan impressed me. Richardson was ready to play. His in game decisions? That's another story.

 

[Orange.]

Drives me nuts. Being a sad, bitter person is a choice people make every day.

It is a great opportunity to build out a solid ignore list.

I was referring to the lack of tempo and run run play calling once Vols got up 38-21. Could’ve definitely had been more aggressive in that situation. But defense is definitely the issue with the team. It was awful today. Very awful.

Why run tempo when you want to kill clock? He did exactly what he should have done. Even with the converted onsides kick, they had 17 seconds. I don’t get that criticism…at all. They also were gaining 4-7 yards on first down runs.

Defense was great against the run.

He did have a few good throws, but mostly the wr were so wide open that even a mediocre AR could hit them. This game doesn't change my opinion of him at all, decent runner, below average passer. He hit maybe 4 or 5 contested throws.

Only criticism is not going for the field goal.

Didn’t get to watch it live, seems like Banks’ style of defense is pretty bad for what our offense forces.

Teams have to throw against us, we’re going to score them out of being able to just run. And this soft zone secondary **** just isn’t going to work.

Our defense has obvious concerns. I also don’t think a lot of teams are going to go for it on 4th down as much as UF either. If they don’t go for it, this game gets out of hand fast, but I do acknowledge that we have to stop teams on 4th down.

I think their playoff run is done.

Who cares it’s Vandy.

OU loses and imo we should jump:

Arky
UK
OU


#8

Would be the highest ranking since Fulmer...

Enjoying every damn bit of it.

Really appreciate Hendon man. He’s been incredible and really showed grit and maturity tonight. What a leader.

Hendon is special. Right now I only have Manning and Shuler as QBs that we’re better, that I’m old enough to remember.
