Savage SEC Coach quote

[CNCVol88]

How well will Hook and Bennett handle adversity.

I think Georgia will pass on early downs to try and set the run.

The wide splits on Tennessees offense leave two things open and Tennessee has to be aware of them.

Using the sideline as a free defender

The middle of the field.

Warren and Fant have to come up big in this game. With the attention that the WRs will draw they’ll have to make them respect it.

Wright and small will make them pay.

This is the post of the week.....exactly where Behr is on this.....that being said, I'll be at Jonathan's (sports bar in middle TN) and will either be drinking in celebration or drinking in despair....so that echo's quote above.

They're gonna win. I think it's their destiny. They've done the work and they've stayed focused. Those guys deserve everything I'm beginning to believe is coming to them. Good for them.

As for me. I hope they make it to the playoffs and we get to play OSU.

In the realm of What matters most that don't matter, that will be the icing on the cake.
Florida
Alabama
Georgia
East
SECCG
OSU

I mean....

Good friend is an OSU fan. See him every day and have for 9 years. He hates the SEC. Although he never meant to criticize me or the Vols, he did. Things like "The SEC is soooooo overrated, they have basically 2 teams and Florida sometimes, oh, I didn't mean anything, but you know what I mean". He's been quiet lately and it's been glorious.

Yeah, I have the confidence we can play with them and beat them.

Meh… I’m not going to pretend Georgia isn’t outstanding.

The more the week goes on the more confident I become of this one. That's usually not the case and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

 

[CNCVol88]

Meh… I’m not going to pretend Georgia isn’t outstanding.

They are outstanding but I don't buy they're better than bama on defense. They're younger in the DBs and don't have as prolific a pass rush this year. I think Tennessee will expose that. The real question is can we get to Bennett. We have one of the best pass rushes in the SEC so we will see.

 

[Gandalf]

Gosh, don’t tell Dawg fans, they think they invented defense.

No, they think they have PERFECTED it. But the truth is, they haven't really been tested yet. They will be tomorrow.

 

[Vol524]

That post has Lane Kiffin written all over it. JMHO

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Georgia will try to control clock and challenge the UT receivers. Don’t expect to get many PI calls.
They will also blitz up the middle to try and disrupt Hooker’s pocket presence.
If the OL gives him some time and the run game is working pretty well, I like the Vols’ chances.
Most of the pressure is on GA. Tennessee is playing with house money due to resume and momentum .

 

[Shaun1985]

Still believe Bama has the better secondary and LSU and Bama both have the stronger front line. They only have the benefit of playing in Athens but I think our tempo cancels a lot of that. Hookers IQ is off the charts. Blitz up the middle, he'll slant and kill you in the middle. Blitz on the sides, he's gone or getting it out quick. Not the least bit worried about Georgia's pressure. Pick your poison with this offense trying to defend it.

 

[LTVol]

Sounds like a Lane Kiffin quote to me.

Me too

 

[UTodd01]

Clearly Lane Kiffin or Mike Leach. I can't decide which one.

 

[OrangeInKy]

It was Kirby IYAM. Desperate for bulletin board material.

You’re probably joking, but he would do that. Would be brilliant, and it’s his and Saban’s style.

 

[SLODAWG]

SIAP (Not really because I like reading it.)
I think it’s either Lane or Eli Drinkwitz.

You actually believe some member of the media reached out to a D1 coach and said (essentially), "What do you think about UGA v. Tennessee
Don't worry, I won't use your name" and that coach believed him/her and thought it a good idea to say something like that?

Yes. It's Pete Thamel. He has a zillion sources. Someone told him that 100%. He is not making stuff up.

Kiffin. No mention of pirates.

 

[chef3531]

I just hope Hooker doesn't stand there and hold the ball for 6 seconds without throwing it away and taking a preventable sack. Happens at least once a game.

 

[wmcovol]

I mean the tweet clearly said it was an SEC coach. Wasn't necessarily a HC though

I’d say it’s mostly likely NOT a head coach

 

[Vanhalo]

If it was meant to be...we beat Georgia and LSU beats Bama.
we play LSU in the SEC Championship and then we play Clemson and Ohio State.
Where we have HT candidates 1 and 2 match up to make history.

I can't see Bama and GA playing in the SECC again. Not feelin it.
