12 team playoffs make a lot more games interesting throughout the season, should be a lot of fun week In and week out for pretty much every team in the top 25

It bodes well for us if we can take Georgia and Florida off our schedule every year. Still have to play Bama, but a loss would not be the end of the season.

What is with this dogging Milton..the 2nd stringer? I am glad he is on my team and just about any school would appreciate him.

I like Joe. He works and has worked really hard and he was nearly the hero of the Ole Miss game last year. I know he had overthrows but he's still a Vol and except for one pass I thought he looked crisp last night.

So let's eliminate the forward pass and every QB will have perfect passing stats!

Their X-Runs were made up of 4 runs of 10+ yards:

1 For 11
1 for 12
1 for 13
1 for 14

Still averaged 2.2 ypc. And minus those 4 they averaged 1.1 ypc.

You know as well as anyone (and I know you're just bringing the info and it's much appreciated as always), sometimes a redline separator can skew things.

Our x-runs were
33 yards
22
14
10
10

That was awesome except he mispronounced sweet a** Oda

We recruited #23 overall composite last year. Meh year for recruiting BUT

We're fixing to make some nice jumps the next 2 years though. Just getting started...

Certainly agree! I think we pass Auburn next year for 6th in the SEC talent wise. If we can keep the on field momentum and keep recruiting above the 90.00 mark I think we’ll be Top 12-14 in the next 2 years

That's always been my take. I dislike the playoffs immensely. They take away from the season, from bowls, and give us a terrible product in their place. It always comes down to 2 teams being miles better (every now and then there's a 3rd) than everyone else.

That is mainly a product of the playoff system we have now… before then….. teams didn’t seem as dominant.

Also reflected in the Top 3 having over 70% of their rosters made up of Blue Chips 4 and 5 stars. Before 2016 or so that was unheard of for a roster

It looked like he was much more physical than Crawford and the o-line seemed to play better overall when he was in there. He was in a lot of the highlights. Maybe Crawford was ahead of him mentally and that's why they were bracketed as starters, but Mincey looked a lot better physically.

Mincey is really talented. I remember the UF 247 guys saying the new UF staff hated to lose him. He was solid when he did play as a true freshman for them and they thought a lot of him. That dude is 6'6 pushing 340lbs with really long arms. He's what they look like. Lots of potential.

Usually, but all I said was SAS brings good energy CB not so much. The rest is all Coach V. I think it was around $70 bucks. We have a couple of players on Cameo, but they are not available during the season.

@Glitch and I are a little hurt we weren't mentioned. @Ulysees E. McGill reaction was another poop emoji.

 

[Orange.]

Interesting. And interesting:

I don’t know. I see a guy who locks onto a receiver, processes the game slowly, lacks pocket presents, and doesn’t have a ton of confidence in his receivers to make a play. But I guess if he’s tough, then that counts for something.

Writing this out, I kind of think Slovis reminds me of JG? Only difference is JG would let his receivers make plays. Didn’t always work out, but he’d put it up there.

I'm glad to be a big game. Disney/ABC/ESPN going to talk about us.

Several Live high school football games from the Knox Co. area @ this link.

Just sit back and be educated by UT's "fan" base.

It's truly amazing how some fans think you should score every play on offense and turn the opponent over every play on defense vs a lesser opponent.

Meanwhile Bama's first cupcake game last year was vs FCS Mercer and won 48-14. Man, what an awful team they must have had

Somehow people don't get these are still FBS teams. Not high school teams.

Just for reference, Ball St's last few P5 opponents:

2018 #5 ND 16-24
2019 vs Indiana 24-34
2019 NC St 23-34
2021 Penn St 13-44

But naww we should've won 90-0 or else we're trash Hell, we didn't even win by 50!! Only 49!!!

 

[TN-POSSUM]

So, I messed with the color and contrast on my TV for the Illinois/ Indiana game on FS1 and backed up about 15 feet. It "almost" looks like Tennessee is plaing Alabama.

***Man, I wish we had a game tomorrow.

Oof 2026?!

Maybe Nico will bless us with a Peyton-like return.

Pretty awful timing we can't get it sooner during Nico's first 3 seasons. All we need is to finish 2nd in the East at 10-2 (just talking minimum) and we could make a 12-teamer.
