'24 Recruiting Forum: Official Ohio State Pre-game/Game Thread

[volKano]

I’m honestly done with Heupel’s offense. It is a gimmick and now that teams have talent and coaching to know how to stop it then the lipstick will come off the pig.

This Is the same scheme and worked well. One thing is we have no wide receivers that can be trusted to make a catch down the field. When they were open Nico overthrew them. The other part is the fact we are running it at half speed.

 

[Blake25p]

Why are they running plays with Nico up the middle to risk injury in a lost-cause game?

It was a busted play

 

[VolGee4]

What records it break this year?

Dylan Sampson.

2800+ rushing yards in 4 straight seasons.

 

[GVol1966]

Yes, and we can't compete with them.

How do you fix it?

Wasn’t Bru a 5 star? Mathew’s a 5 star?

Their WR coach is the best in the country.
Ours is an in house promotion

Their OC is former HC at Oregon, UClA , NFL. Chip Kelly
Our OC is Chip from my three sons

Heupel should get all the praise for getting us out of being a shithole program.

But we are far, far away from actually competing for a title

We're taking incremental steps, but we've still got a way too go. For the first time under Heupel, I am leaving a season very concerned about the offensive playcalling. That is very concerning to me.

This was a growing up game for Nico. In some ways, I think this springboards into an all-American type season next year. We just need an overhaul of talent at the OL and WR positions to help.

He’s a baller. I’m proud of him. Outsiders will look at his stats and laugh but kid is going to be good if he gets help. He’s beyond handcuffed

 

[KB5252]

Nico
P. Lewis
M. Matthews
E. Davis

That's our top skill guys on offense next season

They are on the roster and playing now. Don't see that as an upgrade. Those are just the same dudes.

 

[UTK]

Chant all you want, we still took over your ass stadium

 

[JCP201]

So, is this Kessling's last game?

I really didn’t expect to compete for a title this year. Toughest draw.

 

[volKano]

Texas is going to get ran in the later playoff games. Don’t believe UGA can get it done with a backup. This wasn’t the SEC’s year.

We just overachieved but the talent gap finally caught up with us.

Did we actually over achieve or did the top of the Sec take a step back?

Nico and Lewis obviously flash talent. The other two haven’t shown me anything to get overly excited about yet.

 

[SaguaroVols]

Defense straight gave up on the last drive.

We need a new DC and new dudes on D.

Have some pride and play hard.

Nico’s a baller.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Both.
But the league was ass this year

 

[TheBigOne10]

So, is this Kessling's last game?

Yes, for football. Praise the Lord.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

So, is this Kessling's last game?

Football - yea

 

[Blake25p]

So, is this Kessling's last game?

Last football game, will retire after basketball season.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

GO Vols! Keep working. Find the problems, fix the problems, get better at what you're good at and make another run next season!

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Congrats Banks, you just got your ass ate

 

[KPT_VFL]

Halzle is also a complete joke

Heupel is the mastermind and I think he thought Halzle was ready… clearly not. Rodney Garner and Inge have shown to be the only elite recruiters.

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Halzle is also a complete joke

I’m hitting high points man.

 

[Vol423]

After tonight HS needs to be attacked less. It’s apparent the portal is the way to go.

Sorry, but we got plenty of these post during the Pruitt era and they never amounted to anything.


Hit the portal now, and throw these kids feelings out the window.


There is no rebuild when Ole Miss can compete every season signing 20+ guys.

No. It's not.

 

[marcusluvsvols]

HYPE just gave up....we could have had the ball back with 1min20 ...we had 2 timeouts. He gave up and said its OK to lose by 25 points instead of 18...thats BS

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Final

42-17


Heupel has a lot of work to do this off season. I think he can fix it. We'll be better next season.

GBO

Did we actually over achieve or did the top of the Sec take a step back?

Probably both.
