'20 Recruiting Forum: Official South Carolina Pregame/Game Thread

Defense needs to build off What they accomplished in the first half.... second half was embarrassing, especially for the back 7

 

[drvenner]

Gotta give it to Shy Smith for USCjr... dude was balling.

Yep, but now he's sqallin

Initial post game thoughts:

• Completely unimpressed with the coaching this game.
• Completely unimpressed with JG. He is what he is. Pass to Gray on the failed flicker was savvy and the dime to Palmer was nice - outside of that there were so many missed opportunities.
• We escaped with a four point win when we should’ve won by two scores.
• Banks... I mean, come the f on dude.
• Who tf was #96 at the end? He was huge.
• Tyler Baron is a grown man.
• Enjoyed seeing Chandler, Palmer, B Johnson, D. Johnson, and Velus ball out.
• I wasn’t keeping track completely, but we went with a different line combination seemingly every drive.
• Our secondary sucks. Thank god Nick Muse dropped that 3rd and 15 that hit him in the hands.
• Ugly and not exactly giving me confidence, but damn I love a win. Especially against those guys.

I generally agree except for the d backs. We failed to set the edge today and the linebackers struggled in coverage, similar to the first half of last season. Both things get the DB’s looking and going places they shouldn’t need to... a la out of place...

They both have masks on. I don’t get it.

2020 in a nutshell.

Aside from the stupid penalty by Banks of the helmet the late hit out of bounds is what it is. Banks played lights out other then that. Dude is a better ILB than Crouch and has way better instincts.

Agree, I think his problem is he’s hot headed. He just looses it from time to time. Pruitt going to have to help him with that

That’s the first time we played 11 v 11 football since the bowl game... I’ll take an SEC road win.

 

[drvenner]

Used all the luck of the season to win this one.

Nope. We got more coming. Decade of the Vols!

 

[drvenner]

19-31for 259 yards. He should have been at minimum 25-31 for 325+.

0 for 6 on third down.

 

[pierce60]

This could be why the DB’s were so bad.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I thought the officiating was really good tonight. I enjoy not having to gripe about the referees.

 

[99Vol]

No I didn’t. How would the fictional OL or skill player have fared?

Compared to last year we are in a better place if debating the long snapper after game one...

 

[beneVOLence]

Deandre Johnson Had a great game!!

 

[StoVol]

Yep, but now he's sqallin

That rhymed

 

[drvenner]

Lot to improve. Common theme around the league. Lot to improve still 1-0. Welcome to 2020.

Thanks Coach!

Yes!

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Baron was flashing a lot. He looks like he belongs.

 

[drvenner]

I was hoping QB would be settled after the game..... But the win!!!

How did you like our football uniforms?

 

[WonfulVol]

This game just had a 2020 feel to it

 

[franklinpence]

Agree. A bunch of true freshmen saw meaningful snaps tonight.

Baron showed up a few times. Looked good.

 

[Blake25p]

Baron was flashing a lot. He looks like he belongs.

Beast in the run game, still a lot work to do rushing the passer.

 

[SweetasSoda]

How did you like our football uniforms?

Glad they had some on!

 

[99Vol]

I thought the officiating was really good tonight. I enjoy not having to gripe about the referees.

Agreed, now we can concentrate on griping about our continued personal foul issues...

 

[UTSuave’]

Best TN QB on the field tonight.

Undisputed

 

[drvenner]

That rhymed

That's how I roll.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

We had some friends over so wasn't able to look at names/numbers as much. Which other freshman got reps today?
