Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

Condredge…the traditional ambassador we deserve.

OMG...do people never watch what the defense is doing? We didn't throw it deep because the point of this offense is to take advantage of what the defense is doing.

Virginia was dropping back on nearly every play...so we threw it short and ran the ball down their throat.

 

[Weezer]

I like to fondly recall my elementary school days. I don't remember all of my teachers from that time, but I do remember my favorite teacher. Her name was Mrs. Turtle. I realize that is a very strange name, but, in her defense, she tortoise very well.

Bama dropped safeties back 20 yards every play in the second half basically and still got killed over the top. I get it’s Virginia and you don’t need to take the risk like you do vs Bama, but it’s still an observation

Heupel was able to get Hyatt matched up on a safety one on one, and the safeties got split wide. Really the only one where a safety was further back was the last long throw where Hooker split the defenders.

The offensive scheme though is pretty simple as we throw based on the defense. We certainly throw wrinkles in it, but it’s all based on numbers.

 

[butchna]

Nope, we’re freaking out because you don’t take skin cancer risk seriously.

So if @PlanetVolunteer gets a sunburn, is that proof of global warming?

Brian Rice said that Jaylen Wright had a stomach issue on Saturday, which is why he needed to be spelled so quickly.

Man, if he runs like that with the skitters, he will have a special year.

Milton has started 3 games…. We scored 50 points twice….. 31 against Clemson which is more than Hendon scored against Pitt in regulation…. The offense is Heup’s baby so the play caller shouldn’t be a concern….. I think the main concern with Milton is if we play a game where we have to score every single possession like Florida/ Alabama…. Will he be efficient enough to do that? Hopefully…. Our defense plays better and we don’t have to play any games like that.

Teams with good-great fronts that can close down our running game and that can press our recievers hard (eg:UGA) are always going to be a problem for this offense...I bet we see that from Bama this year too.

We will still get several opportunities for big plays against even the greatest (eg:UGA) defenses we play.

The question is do we make those plays or not. Joe can NOT be Overthrow Joe in those games, and the recievers can NOT blow the opportunities which will be at a premium against those defenses.

It really is pretty simple...we are always going to destroy poor-mediocre defenses, destroy or handle good defenses, and struggle to beat great defenses if we don't make the limited number of big plays that will be available.

Teams will play zone against Tennessee most of the season , Tennessee has too many guys who can win the one on one battles.... When people do play man up that's when you will see Thornton go off he is too big and fast for a Corner or safety to cover solo..... To me Bru is more of a possession receiver than all Tennessee receivers the others are more game breakers....

 

[Ttucke11]

I thought LSU was the greatest team ever?? Turns out they're the team we beat by 4 TDs. Stupid they were ranked above us.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

How dare you pick that poster apart with your response. You ain't nothing but a pumper.

Then you go and do this

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

You all understand the game plan evolved to run it down their throats because that's what the defense gave us, right?

No...no they do not..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

On Saturday, Milton was the "Artful Immarunyoassover"

Awesome..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

After Saturday I'd expect Florida to sell out against the run and force Milton to beat you over the top.

He will.

But that's your best bet if you're Florida. Hope he is off and the WRs keep having the drops.

Yep...that is what I would do too...but who knows about Sunbelt Billy, little of what they do makes sense.

Not the same situation.
Pretty sure that the staff thought Bama could slow down our running backs with their front...we were not going to just run it down Bamas throat like against UVA, so they knew we were going to have to win the game on Hookers arm.

Georgia playing press is a dangerous game for them with Tennessee receivers....a couple of slants for Touchdowns or a couple of out and ups for Touchdowns will cause Kiby to give a 5 Yard cushion on outside or play zone which in turn will help open up Tennessee running game...

From Cole Cubelic (via @Freak):

So many errors in this?

 

[SSVol]

Oh nohs, our offensive line gonna suck! What will we do without Cooper?!?

*Offensive line performs almost flawlessly...we run the ball with impunity*

Oh nohs, why didn't we throw deep all game?!?

Feels like those 2001 to 2004 RB roomz

We don't know what the future looks like but UVA's supposed strength was the DL and they were abused. The OL ate all game. Big for that unit. I do agree that the Bama's and UGA's are a different world though. Let's see if they can do it to UF.

I went back again and looked at Colorado schedule and your correct that team may go 7-5 this year... There are about 4 guaranteed loses but the rest are 50/50.....

I think it’s the best iteration of the gray uniforms.

I’m glad to see these are more charcoal than gray. The older versions looked too close to the color of duct tape.
