It seemed to me that the crowd noise pretty much told the emotional story on the radio broadcast. It was impressive.

I listened to the radio and all I could really think is, this broadcasts misses Priest, but to each their own.

In response to "more talent but did less" winning 77% of your starts isn't doing less than Hooker who is 10-5 so far.

Guess we just disregared the 2002 collapse eh?

 

[Devo182]

How on earth did Dino Babers keep his job going 5-7, 1-10, and 5-7 in three years?

It's Cuse...

And good for them being patient.

What game were you watching?

When did you feel like UF was in position to win that game? A non-fan of either of the teams watching that game would have known UT was in driver's seat the entire 2nd half. Only the crazy last minute was tense with that regard.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

In my humble opinion, and I could care less what the numbers say...all other of our great QBs are battling for #3 on the list behind Manning and Shuler. That's how great Shuler was, it takes Peyton Manning to surpass him. Shuler, in Heupel's offense...Manning shares the GOAT love.

Totally understand, I just haven't forgiven him for leaving UT early.

8-5 is a collapse now?

 

[volbeast33]

Speaking of guys we would have loved seeing in Heupel's O.

He would be unreal

 

[Devo182]

It's time we give another shoutout to Mcgrath and also the opposing FG kickers (lol)

Not that last night was even remotely a 5 pt game in reality, but as it just happened to play out, Mcgrath is a big part why we are 4-0. The guy may not win a gameball, but he will deserve a season-long award at this rate.

when your ranked in the top 5 preseason? Yes sir

#9 in coaches

The amount of snaps our defense plays they will give up something. I wish they would stick with man and bring the heat to try and force turnovers. Our soft zone is a little too soft.

If they actually got some 3 and outs, then they wouldn't. They just shoot themselves in the foot not getting themselves off the field. Vs Slovis and UF, I wonder if he even had a single 3 and out.

Okay. I'm not trying to change your mind. But a higher career winning percentage and playing in Atlanta once with 2 seasons of 10 wins isn't "doing less."

You're welcome to think Hendon is a better QB though. I'm not even disagreeing with that, just saying for me I'm not putting him above Casey UNTIL he finishes his career.

View attachment 494309

Apparently the coaches didn't watch UK, USC, Clemson...

OU loses in OT and drops 10 spots. Clemson survives (should have lost) and holds serve

And UK hardly scraping past an awful 1-2 G5 squad

The anchoring bias is VERY strong with pollsters.

Silliness...

 

[volbeast33]

interesting take. Going to have to disagree

Per example….. we can all’s free that Peyton manning is one of the greatest QBs of all time….His senior season was the only year that he threw as many TDs as a Heup led team…. He threw 31 which was 2 more that UCF 2018 and tied hook last year….Ecept for Manning’s sophomore season…. He had a much higher int % than all Heup led teams…. The system makes great QBs….Hooker is a good qb but this system takes him to another level.

I loved watching him play…. That Auburn game was something else

fair enough. Go vols

 

[Devo182]

On a side note, I hope NC St bashes Clemson's brains in next game.

The gameday attendees knew it. They were booing Clemsob comments and chanting "overrated".

 

[VolsnCards5]

I first let myself believe yesterday when they didn’t call roughing the passer on Banks.

that absolutely would have been called in any other Florida game over the past 17 years

 

[SugarCC]

Totally understand, I just haven't forgiven him for leaving UT early.

I was heartbroken; but, I understood.

 

[VOLSONLY]

GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!!

I ventured into the FF game thread. Oh. My.

They are so miserable over there. Will not make that mistake ever again.

You know the drill

 

[Devo182]

Very true; still, I've seen that kid do some things that I never saw the other ones come close to doing.

He is indeed very good. He's no Stetson or Greg Mcelroy.

That happened right in front of me. The back judge simply wasn't looking. He had his eyes down field. If he was watching the QB he would have called it I bet.

@Ulysees E. McGill what you think of Kentucky being ranked ahead of us?

 

[MarcoVol]

Gosh dang it I wish the Vols played again today
