Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXVI

[BigOrangeVols]

I still don’t think he will be fired, I firmly believe Butch has is belly full of East Tennessee and will be voluntarily moving on seasons end.

I can name x million reasons why that will not happen

 

[Smokey123]

Our RB's averaged 6.2 YPC and we only ran them a total of 29 times. Why

 

[Catbone]

Interesting

I love statistics so I agree

 

[JCP201]

Yeah, they were overhyped. I was hoping they'd help smooth our path, but UGA should beat them. And then we'll watch and see who Auburn hires after the Gus Bus has burned.

We have to beat Georgia and they have to lose to Mississippi State, or they are sliding right into the SEC championship. Vandy just beat a number 18 team, but they go through schedule hell with Alabama next. (Kind of like us every year)

 

[Catbone]

Tennessee is exactly 50% ATS since 2013 also 🤔

 

[Smokey123]

We had enough 3 and outs for that to be ok but that seems crazy to play so few of DL.

Pretty sure we only played 3 DEs as well.

Florida ran a total of 57 plays.

Yea we did and it seems we didn't even rotate Phillips in that much.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Let's keep grinding. Beat the crap out of UMass.

I wish we could play it today just to get this taste out of my mouth.

 

[Smokey123]

Gaulden was in on 10 tackles, 5 were solo. He had a great game.

 

[Smokey123]

Tennessee had 9 more first downs, 60 mores yards, 5 more minutes with the ball

Ok, we all admit that the coaching wasn't good. But this wasn't the reason. I don't understand how someone who writes about football thinks that we should have just put Marquez Callaway back there. It wasn't a Hail Mary.

LWS's posts are very discouraging. We need Peyton real bad.

It was originally supposed to be a pass to get them in FG range. When they saw we were in cover two their WR's went deep. Although it wasn't a designed Hail Mary, the play call was terrible. We should have NEVER been in cover 2 there, but we also shouldn't have been in prevent like some think.

Summary?

 

[VolGee4]

LWS's posts are very discouraging. We need Peyton real bad.

Death, taxes, Murphy's Law, and LWS's posts are discouraging. Sounds about right.

 

[Smokey123]

When u take away that one long run UF had where Martin forced a fumble. UF had 94 yards rushing and 3.3 YPC.
If you take away the final play UF had 149 yards passing and 5.5 Yards per pass

 

[JAllen18]

Cortez Mcdowell out for the year.

 

[VFLBerg]

His posts are always discouraging and have been for a long time now.

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

What did LWS say?

 

[appyvol]

Question...

In your opinion, what would Butch have to do to win over the fanbase and prove that Saturday was a fluke?


I'm going to say that he has to win out for the rest of the regular season, make it to Atlanta (not win, per say) and win a bowl game.

Seriously.

What say you, RF?

9-3. I don't care who the 3 are. Win the East and he can have an extension.

UGA will lose to State, Vandy, and Auburn. If we lose to UGA we are out of the running because we wont beat Bama and might lose to Vandy or LSU. I just threw up in my mouth saying that but this is what our beloved football program has been turned into.

 

[unioncityvol]

the problem isnt just the florida game. lets go back to last years bama game and look at everything since then. dragged by bama, lost to s car, vandy, gave up a million yds to missouri, kentucky, and georgia tech, then the florida debacle. we aint going 10-2 guys. we aint winning the east. 8-4 is the ceiling imo. 6-6 is a possibility. year 5.

We could still win the east. I agree we could finish 10-2 but very unlikely. Dr. Punch was on sports talk and he said that other than Bama he thought we could run the table. It wouldn't surprise me if we beat GA then lost to KY, Vandy, or SC.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Really was hoping the negative momentum would force Currie's hand and he would be fired today. Truthfully I don't want to see him coach another game here.

 

[jave36]

Is that how it goes now? IIRC, it used to go overall conf wins, head-to-head tiebreaker, then overall record. Maybe it changed.

At one point bcs ranking became a tie breaker, but I haven't researched it in a while
