If you guys watch the YouTube video of the game… go to 1:31:40 and watch Campbell send the dude to the waffle house…. It’s hilarious.

Difference is Deion is an alpha
Beamer is a beta

One came from nothing
One rode his daddy's success

So I see a fallacy in your reasoning
It's ok to say you just don't like him

But sometimes when I do that I try to be self aware and ask myself why I feel that way

Often I'm just looking for flaws because someone rubs me the wrong way
Then I have to be more discerning and not let it cloud my judgement

All very true. I also just ask people to set aside personal feelings when determining whether he’s done a good job. Just because you may not like him, yesterday was really impressive. It means that his players are accepting his leadership.

Any injury updates ?

Defense took a step forward this year so far
Offense has taken a step back so far this year comparatively
Milton will settle in with his WRs... disappointed in the Thornton showing today... or NOT showing... Hopefully just knocking the dust off.
Unless we take a step forward as a total team in the next few weeks, we are realistically looking at 9-3 which is great, but would love to see another 10+ win season in a row, which is certainly possible if we just tighten some things up and continue to improve. BVS still on our secondary...

Some people are acting like the score was 21-17 and Milton was yanked in the second quarter….

Can’t tell a whole lot from that small of a sample size but the offense put up 49 and UVA had 106 yards passing. 106.

Are you drunk?

They did this last year too.

“Hooker throws too high” while he’s becoming one of the Heisman finalist.

“Yeah we won BUT we could have lost” while Heupel was putting on the best coaching display we’ve seen at Tennessee in 20 years.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I am not worried at all. That is a game in years past that we win but we can’t move the line of scrimmage or we can’t run the ball or we can get any d pressure.

That game yesterday proved to me that we are right back to where we left off.

That’s huge.

I would also be willing to bet that will be Milton’s worst statistical game of the year.

 

[Rishvol]

The best thing about this game is Huepel was able to experiment on offense. The defense was so dominant that they spent most of the first and second quarter trying different things on offense to what would work best. Eventually they decided they needed points and scored points they knew they were going to get

People are romanticizing the idea of Hooker and this offense last season. Hooker had dry spells in games where the O was flat, and then it would almost always take off, move the ball in chunks, and score in flurries.

That's exactly what happened yesterday, and anyone familiar with UT from last year had no reason to panic.

South Carolina's starting running back actually beat UNC as South Carolina's starting QB in 2021 Duke's Mayo Bowl.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Each time we did that I think it was mainly just because Wright was winded.

One time it was Small who was tapping his helmet to be substituted for. I like that guys are giving up chances to be the one scoring the TD because they're putting the team first.

And if you've ever experienced "first game of the season" nervousness, you remember how it somehow gets you out of breath waaaay before you normally would be, and will be the rest of the season.

What happened to the chicken on the USCjr helmets?

It is now property of Mack Brown.

Don't care...I can't stand self centered self important people and Deion is the very image of Narcissus.

So. Damn. Close! I was hoping for a 50 burger!

Blame Ramel...he is pretty much to blame for ALL the hand wringing over the game...lol.

I don't think I've ever seen one play change perception so much....he catches that one stupid ball and no one is saying Milton struggled or the pass offense is underwhelming or that we didn't score enough.


Not saying you were doing any of that in your post...your post just got my old addled mind wandering a bit....woke up in the middle of the night hurting all over and this kind of rambling is what happens..

There are concerns that the Hoos may be out for the season after Saturday's beat-down.
