Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXIX

[Catbone]

Do we sneak back into the polls with a win vs Kentucky?

If a few top 20-25 teams lose probably. 7-3 AP #25 sounds about right

 

[volatil]

Oh look no juco for Williams. Hmmm

Thought he was leaving to pursue his fashion career. Wanted to be on the West Coast.

Maybe by "fashion", they meant "hippie lettuce".

Buckeyes versus Clemson for the Natty.

Bama not beating the elite teams running a QB and banking on a defense to shut them down all game.

I think Michigan's defense is legit. And their QB has grown this season

I actually think it's gonna be Michigan and Clemson for the championship. Best two teams IMO.

That Jabril Peppers kid is a beast.

Yeah I think the Buckeyes will beat them though. I trust Barret and crew on offense over that Michigan crew. Peppers is good but he wouldn't have to play offense for Ohio State at all.

The Michigan defense is legit and so is Ohio State. They looked back to being scary good Saturday too. I think they beat Michigan by 10+ personally.

 

[Catbone]

There's a clear top 4 teams

 

[volinbama256]

Need Foreman and Sutton back-- our secondary getting beat several times pretty bad by a Div ll team is not good... would want Kamara back over anyone, but Kamara and/or one of Foreman/Sutton is desperately needed.

hard to sell me on Michigan at this point. They barely got past Wisconsin and had to go to the end of the fourth to beat Mich St... all other games were against average teams... It's always the same, you never really know about teams like Mich and OHST because they barely play anyone the majority of the year. Easy to get up and prepare for a few games a season... I don't think we will truly know until they play more than one game in a row of substance.

 

[chavisut]

Wisconsin is good.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Would be great to wax Kentucky and have UF lose again. Leaving us back in control of the East.

Oh please.

I do think it will be tough for us to get back into the top 25. And if we are able to go to ATL we will fall out again anyway for the bowl.

It pisses me off every time I think about it. We should be top ten and already locked into the SECCG.

Devante Brooks is now listed as an offensive lineman and is wearing No. 77.

Wow. Interesting.

I got to the game early and was watching the OL warm up and I thought #77 looked awfully skinny for OL. I looked in the program and didn't see a name and thought he was a walk on.

 

[31VFL]

Wow. Interesting.

Might explain the 2nd TE we took

 

[Aesius]

I know he's coming off two serious knee injuries, but Brooks looked really slow and lumbering in the fall camp practice videos at TE. He's got the height and frame to be an OL IMO.

 

[volfanCLT]

I'm pretty confident our DL is still gonna be really good next year.

Barnett will hurt, but we should be stout up the middle and Taylor had looked really good in his action. Add in Kongbo, Phillips, etc and we are looking pretty.

I'm also an Austin Smith fan, just haven't seen enough to say we can count on him next year to provide solid depth. (Due to his injuries)

 

[Nashvegas31]

He also said if FSU beats Florida it would help us go to Atlanta. Grain of salt on everything he said. His girlfriend is hot though.

I wouldn't exactly take it as a grain of salt of a dude that saw Shoop defense everyday knowing what a Shoop defense looks like. FSU thing has nothing to do with it

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

Did Phillips play a lot yesterday?

 

[volfanCLT]

Did Phillips play a lot yesterday?

Started but didn't play all game.

Came off the field with the other starters to avoid unnecessary injury.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Did Phillips play a lot yesterday?

Had a good number of DT snaps

 

[volfanCLT]

Can anyone refresh me on the injuries to Austin Smith and Stephen Griffin? TIA

Yes. We would be sitting around 7-8 right now and in total control.

Instead we are limping.

It is amazing that 1 loss has had that big an impact on our perception.

A&M gets beaten by miss state and they hardly move at all.

FL will struggle to score points if they play like they did against Arky and LSU comes out playing D like they did last night against Bama
