Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXIX

[Aesius]

Just now starting to watch the UK game. We are going to miss Trevor Daniel.

He's still just a RS Junior, so we should have him for another year.

Florida is decimated by injuries. Perhaps worse than us right now.

Can't muster any sympathy ....wait....nope, still can't.

 

[bignewt]

I wonder if they would let us and Florida combine teams to give bama a game?

Hypothetical scenario:
- We win out
- Florida beats LSU
- LSU beats aTm
- Bama beats Auburn
- FSU beats Florida
- Bama destroys Florida

That means we finish 9-3 and are the only SEC team besides Bama with less than 4 losses. Good enough for Capital One bowl and possibly Sugar Bowl.

Is that a better scenario for us than LSU beating Florida and then we lose big to Bama and finish 9-4?

NO. We want to win the Eastern Division. We aren't scared to play Bama.

For some reason I thought he was a SR. Glad to know we get him back next year. That first punt in the UK game was a bomb.

 

[zhangliao04]

I don't care how badly we lose in the SECCG. Just get there.

No. If Florida beats LSU they will be ranked high. Last year their loss in SEC championship had no bearing on ranking. They stayed put.

After watching the Kentucky game again the tk injury looked like Kirkland's and Sutton's ankle injury

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Vandy game will be at 7:30 on SEC network.

 

[bignewt]

gives UT fans more time to get to the stadium to fill it up.

Nobody is ever scared to play Bama. But looking at reality they are playing and executing on a whole other level. I for one do not want to see another embarrassing outing against the tide. Its a catch 22; win the division but you are the unlucky team that gets waxed in the championship game or not win the division but go to a higher popular bowl and finish the year with a better w/l record.

Vandy game will be at 7:30 on SEC network.

Crud. Hate playing night games, unless at Neyland. I like watching us early and being able to enjoy other games afterwards.

The SEC I guess thinks a night game at Neyland west will give Vandy an advantage so it can be a Bama Florida SECCG

Agree with your @.[/QUOTE

on mobile and late to a meeting just saw it and edited it but you got the meaning

Sweep the leg.

Ken Sparks stepping down at Carson Newman.

If UF loses to LSU, we beat Mizzou, and Vandy loses to Ole Miss, the stadium will be 85% Tennessee fans.

 

[The Breakerboy]

I don't understand why JJ and/or Byrd can't be used like Adoree Jackson next season, depending on the game...

Because we don't have true DEPENDABLE guys at WR. Putting Jennings in the game would signal obvious pass. He should've been moved/been playing safety from day 1 but coaches are dumb.

Byrd should be playing CB especially with how our coaches don't use him. Kid is a dominant DB and can jump out of the gym.

Evan Berry should be on offense but that's like Butch admitting he was wrong. Man would eat on offense with 10-12 various touches. With how he sheds tackles there's no way I wouldn't feed him too.

I think there are serious questions about this staff and their use of players. It is mind numbing that Kamara wasn't starting over Hurd now. Why is Warrior not playing more at safety when he is clearly faster and a better tackler than both guys playing back there. Sure, he may make some mistakes, but his athleticism and talent would make up for them. Berry on offense is a no brained. I have no idea what they're thinking there. Not to mention, how long did it take before they put him in over the other returner, I can't even remember his name. He was terrible and they refused to play Berry over him until he got injured. This goes back to last year. Why in the world was Jumper playing over DKjr until week 6 or something. Worley over Dobbs in 2014? Personally, I also hate seeing Phillips moved inside when he was so fast coming off the edge at end. When Barnett leaves we have no proven pass rushers if they insist on playing him inside. There are some real questions here in the coaches handling of personnel.

This. Was there in 98 when it was 85% or more Orange so much that the Vandy captain asked the ref if Vandy was calling the coin toss since they were the visiting team. Neyland West will be rocking if it is for the SECE

His backup thoroughly outplayed him. Forced a fumble two plays in.

Don't question the coaches they'll get you for it on this board. Lol They know more than you and I will ever know about anything at any time. Lol
