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

[OGbabyaviVol]

The Vols are back in action after a tough loss in Athens. This is a game that we need to rest some banged up guys, but also to get the ship righted and moving full steam ahead. Also, we should have a little motivation, as the former coach of Austin Peay brings his UTEP Miners to town. We remember last year how dirty his APSU team played against us, so I expect Heupel to have a little extra motivation to run the score up a little.

Keys to the game:

1. Can the TN defense from the first 8 weeks please stand up? Can we maybe get a blitz called again some time this year? I don’t care if the DL is getting home untouched or not, call some blitzes!! The attitude of the unit feeds off of the mindset and attitude of the coach. As the game progressed last Saturday night, we started dropping our heads, missing tackles, and playing less aggressively than we have all year. That’s because I think the players hated the soft, non-aggressive mindset of our DC. Quit being soft and setting back! Attitude reflects leadership.

2. Can we please get our offense back doing what we used to do in the first couple years, and go fast more times than not?! We move the ball successfully when we are going fast. We did it in the first quarter last week, and scored 10 points. Why don’t we continue doing it when it is working? This is a get healthy and get right game. We need this offense to start clicking.

3. Special teams is becoming more special. Gonna go ahead and call this…Boo will return a punt for 6, as long as they kick it to him and not out of bounds. He’s special. Makes me wonder why he hasn’t been back there all year. Also, kudos to Max Gilbert for overcoming the abysmal game earlier in the year (against UK I think), and kicking it very well in a hostile environment.

4. UTEP is way inferior. If we show up, we win big. It’s as simple as that.

5. We finally get a day game! We like early games, so we come out firing on all cylinders.

Prediction: This game will be over by halftime, and we will get some rest for guys who are banged up to get ready for Vandy.

Yup - all of it.

Well done, bud.

 

[WesTnVol]

Rest everyone that’s banged up.
This is a glorified scrimmage treat it like one.
Remember Chuck Webb and Pacific
Big -59
UTep-10

 

[ENGRVOL]

Nico is due for a big passing half. Hope we limit Sampson’s rushes and honor these seniors with a dominating performance.


And get Bru a touchdown on senior day finally

 

[BigSteve09]

We need a classic Heupel torching of a lesser opponent, which he has been known to do for years.

1st Quarter Boiz are back on. Probably 1st Half Boiz too.

Interested to see if Sampson can get to 150 before he gets pulled to rest. He's approaching 1500+

 

[drvenner]

Yes sir! How many points do you think we scored in the second half?

I think we score 17 in the second half

 

[JCVol00]

Give nico the 1q, gaston the 2q and half of the 3rd, give merk 2 drives and then let Navy finish it

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I think we score 17 in the second half

So we win 65-6

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Much needed break from the gauntlet.
UT 65
UTep 2

 

[swchandler1988]

I’m not sure UK and Miss State in Neyland is a gauntlet lol

 

[utvolmaniac]

Playing to impress the playoff committee…if that’s possible playing a C-USA team.

Vols -73
Miners - 6

 

[Enki_Amenra]

63-3 Vols

This game is honoring the military. I wonder what they will have for the flyover this week?

This game will be a snooze fest.

I expect this to be a roster type game.

 

[Rishvol]

I'm hoping they let Sampson get 3-4 TDs

 

[TN-POSSUM]

It's Senior day and supposed to be beautiful in Knoxville. There's been lots of memories made by this class and I appreciate them getting this train rolling.

I hope Nico and Gaspipe el Pasos for 300 yards a piece.
*Dont forget....... it's better than a bye week!

Give nico the 1q, gaston the 2q and half of the 3rd, give merk 2 drives and then let Navy finish it

Merk is the only one that might ever matter.
Gaston was insurance for this year, Navy will never matter.
Merk is your #2 going into next year, give him all the reps you can
