These are actual 3rd stringers

 

[westsidefan]

I don't know why anyone would blame the o-line. Play calling is the problem.

a program that hamilton let float in limbo for 8 years is the problem.

 

[utvolkyle06]

And how many of the players on the field are his recruits?

He knew that when he took the job.

 

[patrick]

All I know is the playcalling is atrocious. We started out good with the 4-2-5, then switched to the 4-3 for no reason, and gave up huge chunks of yardage. Then on the first drive, we dominated their CBs, then ran it 2/3 downs every drive after that, end runs at that, we have a sick OL, and don't run the middle. When we ran the middle, it should've been a 1st down, they mark him short by a foot and we punt. Seriously? No confidence in your line.
I appreciate Butch's enthusiasm, but if this is the scheme, I'm not a believer unless he can out talent teshouldn'Richt, but its a recipe for losing games you shouldn't once we have the talent.

thank you

Best staff in the country lol:

You sir just demonstrated you know absolutely nothing about the game of football or what defines a successful coaching staff!
:hi:

 

[govols120]

I wish Tom Smith would change his last name to Ford so I would be more excited to see him in a game

 

[BruiserVol]

And peterman doesn't even get a chance to keep it with his mobility. This offense doesn't make sense.

 

[17Vols]

even after today, I think we can beat florida next week. just sayin

 

[governmentmule]

is the first string O line still in for Petermen ?

 

[armchair]

This offensive line SHOULD be good. If they are not, maybe it's the coaching and scheme. If this group can't be good, what is going to be like next year when they are ALL gone?

Not impressed by the offensive coaching. Why is Croom NOT at TE, by the way? He's got prototypical TE size. Is Downs a better blocker? Problem is, Downs is slow and not effective as a pass catcher.

 

[17Vols]

nice effort summerhill

 

[1985Vols]

3rd team defense in.....lol

Or 4th team tailback is in

 

[westsidefan]

Will the cheerleader's suit up next?epper::boobies:

the duck will bust a 68yd run...

 

[Ace]

Doesn't help when Neal dances around in the backfield... but I get what you're saying.

When Kiffin was here we ran the ball with a make shift line. For the past 3 plus years we have hard supposedly great lineman with little success running the ball. I know Hardesty made a difference.

 

[patrick]

is there no option for the QB to keep the ball

 

[YankeeVol]

Peterman has a much better arm

 

[NATHAN05]

Another 5-7 season and another Alabama NC. This has got to be what hell is like.

throw in the 08 Wyoming loss and yes its in Revelation's

 

[93TNVol]

Mike Hamilton should be publicaly hanged on the 50 yard line at Shields-Watkins Field.

 

[volatil]

Strong throw there. I know incomplete but had zip

 

[secking]

3rd string in for Oregon.....EMBARRASSING

They are past the 3rd string. I think tgey should play their cheerleaders. Surely we can score on them.

 

[YankeeVol]

Or 4th team tailback is in

Our*

 

[NATHAN05]

whoa, whoa......wheres the punt crew?

 

[SouthernSmoke]

wait...not punting?

 

[17Vols]

great throw
