Louisville almost got beat by wake...

How is 44-12 almost being beaten?

 

[jave36]

I'm not sure what you guys are seeing but we need Byrd as badly at WR as we do at corner if not more.

Nah, while I'm just guessing at his ability at CB, the drop off from Byrd to Calloway is probably less than Byrd to Buchanan or Moseley

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Put your best players on defense. Defense wins championships. Always.

 

[BigZiti09]

Has 18 touches through 10 games. Get him the ball.

That I agree with.

 

[Geronimo]

Truth

Not to mention SC will also be bowl eligible.

How is 44-12 almost being beaten?

all those points were in the end when wake rolled over... Wake was winning 12-10 starting the 4th quarter...

44-12 is BEATING THE CRAP out of somebody! Not "almost beaten". Facts matter. :lol:

 

[Aesius]

Coaches will move Jennings and Byrd to defense, work them there all spring and summer, and then we will lose 4 scholarship WRs to season-ending injuries by game 3 of next season. The Tennessee way!

12-3 at halftime and 12-10 going to the 4th. Louisville didn't lead until 10min to go. Clearly this game was close and Louisville could have lost

Louisville scored 34 in the 4th.... wake rolled over. figured you would pounce ... always looking for a condescending opportunity to make yourself feel good... and always with your little cute girly emojis...

It is definitely a crazy dang if you do, dang if you don't scenario.... we need them, but can't afford to lose them at WR... if only we had some instate talent at WR that we could get to come here... wait... NM

Anyone catch Jimmy and Faud last night?

They were being pretty negative.

They cared way more about what happened after it was was 49-22 than I do.

Jimmy VERY critical of Shoop. Faud a little more forgiving, but still critical.

Earlier in the year both guys fully agreed DeBord should go. They've relaxed on this a bit (and by that I mean instead of full blown hating him they are just frustrated with his game to game inconsistency)

Faud made the case that he would rather have a consistent average OC than an inconsistent good/bad one.

Shoop has done a terrible job. Lots of experienced players playing in that secondary that can't play dead in a western.

They lost 44-12. After the season it will be a victory...not an "almost got beat". :hi:

Coulda shoulda woulda doesn't have a category.

Don't let it bother you...but since it does. :neener:

Thanks for the "girly" btw. What are you...class of 52? :w00t:

 

[ATC_VOL]

Sure the defense gave up a ton of rush yards, and we had a couple of bad penalties. It was a fun game though and we won. In the end that's all I ask.

Great to see how good Kamara and Kelly are running. Line made a few nice holes yesterday.

 

[HalfullVol]

Shoop isn't Sal but name me a team with a new DC that didn't go thru a learning curve the first year.

Go ahead. Can't include Alabama because Saban runs that Defense.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Mathews talking about position moves. Says Jennings and Byrd should be on D and Kelky should slide down to LB.

Agree there.

Why would we put Jennings on defense when he has become the go to receiver? Has some of the surest hands on the team

In the committee minds there is such a category. The Virginia game is already in that column.

 

[Batman1948]

Good thought on running a 3-3 or 3-4, but I would use Bain or Mosley at NT. Bigger bodies that are naturally stronger.

Do we even have 4 LB's to put on the field in a 3-4?

 

[omghulkhands]

Not really.

Jumper, Kirkland, McDowell, Berry & Bituli is
Our entire stable of LB, correct?

Very thin IMO. Thin on speed and talent IMO

 

[Aesius]

Vincent Perry's return will be key if the coaches want to move Byrd back to defense.

LSU, and psu and whisky look better this year then last year. I like shoop bit wish he didn't blitz so damn much, need to keep guys back to help with pass coverage that we seem to be flat out awful at. dB's look slow, especially safeties. Lbs play bad and can't cover an old lady in a hover round

 

[BruinVol]

Bryant and bates that shoop/Thig have failed to develop

Auburn defense has made a hell of a turn around.
