Lol UNC losing their OC to Wisconsin.

UNC a stepping stone school.

This is why you leave if you’re Drake Maye.

He wants NIL money. How you think he ended up committed to Louisville of all places

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

30 catches/346/2TDs

Not gonna lie, a lot to like from the little we can see here.

Watched Jimbo’s offense and said “yeh I wanna be apart of that”



There’s NIL money at other places too, kid.

And one more thing, Bennett should only be invited to New York to explain to the whole world how he had the SEC’s best defense hand him the ball constantly and maybe the nation’s best athlete in Bowers but managed to underperform so immensely managing paltry 20/6 numbers.

This. The "gimmick" is actually just exacting the principle that every good OC is trying to do: Spread the defense out and force them to declare their coverage.

The wide splits spreads the defense out from sideline to sideline and basically forces them to declare. It makes the LBs declare whether they will play in the box, or play for coverage. This opens up the running game or the passing game. Defense, pick your poison.

Then the long shots make it worse because then the offense is ALSO spreading the defense downfield.

It's not a "gimmick". It's offensive philosophy to its natural conclusion. Force the defense to cover the entire field. Create the matchups you want. Force the defense to win the matchup 1x1 in space.

The wishbone, veer, spread veer, fun and gun, air raid…….they are all used to maximize the athletes you have. That’s what all sports teams do. Looking forward to see what comes next.

When exactly did UGA fans become so insufferable? We can be loud, abrasive, and obnoxious but they've somehow combined the worst characteristics of every SEC fanbase into the most dislikable group in the country. Is it just because they finally won the NC? I hated Alabama the most for the first 35 years of my fandom but Georgia is at the top of the list now.

I am fortunate enough to not know a single GA fan. I do know a lot of AL bandwagon fans, and the hate runs deep for decades so they are currently still at the top for me.

AP has a video up on YouTube with the new tight end, dude is stoked to be at Tennessee!

Worth a watch, think we are all going to like this kid..

Ethan Davis?

 

[SweetasSoda]

AP said that NFL scouts had this kid as a 3rd round grade.

Also said that PFF had him as the 6th ranked blocking TE in all of cfb.

We’ve upgraded here fellas

 

[Carp]

Rick

Tony or Reggie. Lol. Would take both

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

What do we need to do to fix Lady VOLS BB?

A new coach that's not Lady Vol alumni.

 

[Devo182]

Lord look at those Twitter replies. Now I know why misinformation spreads like wildfire on social media people have zero interrogative skills lmao

It is truly fascinating. Very telling. Get Jan 6th vibes every time I see it occur.

This is why you leave if you’re Drake Maye and come to Tennessee.

fyp..you’re welcome!!

 

[BigSteve09]

Me and the youngest (10) has got the flu, and SCREW all media against our Tennessee Vols. That’s about all I’ve got for today.

Same. Oldest is burning up. Hope you guys get through it.

 

[Devo182]

So this may ruffle some of the VOL faithful feathers.

I know a couple sports writers and I’ve asked them recently what they thought about the VOLS this year and it seems like it’s lining up with what’s happening as far as the Polls, and other awards.

Seems as tho they think TN runs a gimmick offense and that defenses next year will shut down TN and we will go back to being a 6-7 win team. Was told they think CH offense won’t last and that teams will go back and watch the Ga and SC games and see how to play press coverage on D.

So there ya go. Just food for thought on what a couple of National guys think.

Lololol

"Hey guys I know we have 8 years of his offense on film...but I think that team with 18 5 stars on their defense figured it out"


Fwiw SC gave up 38 so also in the quicksand


Just tells you how little national writers understand this offense. Probably think it's a brand spankin new pure passing offense teamed up with a zone-read option CBJ run game.

Smdh idiots gon learn...well....again.

 

[VolNash17]

Wiltfong CB to texas a&m. Bet he's wanting to be closer to home

Probably so

 

[reVOLution33]

Woah…..selling beer in a stadium….caused more unruly fans to appear? Wait what!?!?! How could we have seen this coming. I am SHOCKED that this happened. I can totally understand why Knoxville wants to stop selling beer at games. They never could have predicted it would affect people’s behavior.

Actually this is nonsense. Sure some fans are over board when intoxicated but also some are more laid back than normal. It’s more of a wash then people want to believe.

 

[Devo182]

I'm not saying that you believe what your UCF friend said but UCF fans might need to go check the numbers that say otherwise. Increased offensive performance every single year from year 1. 568 yards per game wasn't the issue at UCF.

Bingo. His team, offensively and defensively, were both lights out all 3 years except for their 2020 opted out defense. Offense just gets better and better.

I mean dear god we have THE #1 SCORING OFFENSE IN THE COUNTRY. I'm not even sure we have ever achieved that before. Truly amazing, especially in the SEC, vs our schedule, and without even top 5/10 talent. Geeeez Heupel is amazing, as was Hooker

 

[Jack Burton]

Castles looks like he’ll be a very nice player for us. One handed grabs, shoestring catches, big body. FCS does have a lot of hidden gems that go pro so I’m liking this approach to portal players.

 

[Devo182]

I dont think its a gimmick, but he will need to adjust. These long bombs aren't going to be there all the time, we need more short crossers, slants, drags etc....

If the long bombs arent there, then the safeties are doubled and deep. Aka more runs up the middle.

This offense has an answer to everything, except maybe being absolutely overwhelmed talent wise, which absolutely no offense or defense can do either and never will. But this offense allows us to punch WAY above our weight.

From 22 ppg to #1 offense in just 2 years is so nuts I still can't believe it's real.
