'18 Recruiting Forum: Official UTEP Pre-Game/Game Thread

We all know we aren’t beating Florida, can we please put that dead horse to rest?

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Playcalling has been horrible today also. A game like this you want to quickly dispose of the opponent .....but they're letting them hang around...building confidence. No killer instinct.

I know, this is way out there. But the lethargy, disinterest of this team has me wondering, "Did Butch run a cult inside the program?" Like they have lost their leader and football doesn't have meaning anymore for them.

They weren't exactly lighting the world on fire last year when Butch was here. We were in a battle with UMASS.

 

[Vols4us]

Why is Buchannon even out there? Where is Thompson?

I want to ask Pruitt, Fair and Sherrer the very same question.

 

[85SugarVol]

Johnson should've caught it.

I agree. But that’s one of the toughest route combinations in football there.

The OC is essentially asking the WR to run a basic 3 step slant. The QB is then tasked with delivering the ball, perfectly on time, to a point that could easily be 7 or 8 yards all the way down field.

The level of difficulty and timing required make it a tough completion.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see us come back to that in the 2nd half if we get that same look from the Defense again.

Syracuse beating FSU

Hard to do something when your players are trash

 

[LaagerVol]

Johnson should've caught it.

Lol JG throws 2 much more catchable balls than that and it’s “JG needs to throw it better”. Chryst throws it at his shins and now it’s on Johnson?

Ha. Ha.

You haven’t watched much Florida this year have you?

Fair point. But it used to not be that way. In fact, it wasn't that way until after Fla last year.

 

[BruinVol]

Is 2 hurt?


Wtf take him out if he isn't?

 

[LaagerVol]

Buchannon lines up in a different area code than his receiver 90% of the time.

Then watched the ball be completed before he breaks on it.

I guess you missed where I said Johnson should've caught that first one... That second one however OBJ couldn't of caught it. So get off JGs jock (you too scfan)

 

[chavisut]

@Big Gucci Sosa what did you get from Iris?

 

[therickbol]

Love reading these threads during games. Emotionallyl fragile+alcohol is great.

 

[LaagerVol]

Why call a TO, and then don’t try to push the ball down the field to score???

Evidently if you have the opinion that Helton has been iffy so far as a playcaller you didn’t play past middle school or rode the pine in HS. That’s what we’ve been told anyway.

 

[Vols4us]

I just watched the replay of Jordan's TD run. He's got the ball in the wrong, inside hand. It's stuff like that all the time with most of them. Fundamentals.

They will be working on O-line protection at half time, again. Callaway and B-Johnson need mental adjustments - like in their faces.

UTEP

UTEP hasn’t come close to stopping us today.

Vols have done a great job stopping themselves though

 

[chavisut]

JG hurt? because not giving him a chance to run 2 minute makes no sense otherwise

Teenaged girls and their wine coolers...
