This is how a national championship caliber team looks..

[Swiftybaby]

Our front 7 is elite. Secondary is still not great. Nico isn’t a Heisman level QB. Those pass catchers failed to get consistent separation against a mid level ACC defense. Also to be fair we haven’t played a team with a good offense yet.

Just stop already.

You’re the only person I know here who could find that much to complain about over a 40+ point win against a rankled p4 opp

3-3-5 had everything to do with WR not getting open. They sold out to defend the pass. We took when the defense gave us. Runs and putting the linebackers in conflict with TE passes.

Clean up some penalties. Nico needs to get a little better when teams drop eight. Let’s get some RB’s more comfortable because we’re going need that depth down the road. Need to find out how we respond to a hostile environment. Please people enjoy the excitement but a little restraint is warranted.

Wonder how Travis Hunter and Jordan Seaton are feeling right now...they could have been here instead of getting blown out by mediocre teams and having to live in Colorado. Their NIL has to be taking hits from the taxes there. Sad.

 

[hUTch2002]

I mean, I know it’s D4H, but he would appear to be correct in this case.

Agreed. Let the man have his fun. We waited a long time to get here so there’s nothing wrong at all with celebrating victories and thinking “what if”.

 

[BACKDOC]

The secondary needs work

You couldn't tell it last night. 143 yds. of total offense; that's a good night against Slippery Rock.

You’re absolutely right and when I said that the secondary still needed work I didn’t mean at all to come off as bashing this team in anyway, we played out of our minds yesterday. I just think there’s still a lot of room for improvement and development in the pass game defense, because Georgia and Alabama are a different tier than NC State.

Wer're probably gonna destroy oklahoma in 2 weeks, their O-line is terrible and we have a top 5 front 7.

Im fully expecting the goalposts will be shifted to they aren't that good/ we have to wait till bama lol. Truth of the matter is so far we've played like a top 5/ Title contending team this year out of everyone. regardless of who played who.

 

[Swiftybaby]

To be fair to D4H of all people…what’s the clear weakness on the team atm? We probably have one but it’s not been shown yet

Our brand new kicker missed a 50+ yarder. Glaring weakness (blue font)

Hunter was never a possibility. He was all Seminole before he bought Deion brand Snake Oil.

I'm guessing you didn't notice they schemed to not let us throw down the field. We did win 51-10. Nico can be a Heisman level QB. Your post sounds like you just watched a 27-14 game.

 

[Volanta]

A lotta hate there. d4H can be phallic, but in this instance , he’s all over it. Dayum. Tough crowd:

I know right geez lol. Ive seen them be less hostile to a rival fan on the board talking trash lol. We gotta quit the Vol on Vol hatred.

 

[LadyVolette]

Nah.., he's no Vol fan. He's just a troll that makes bombastic statements when things are looking up. He'll be the first to denigrate our team if things go south.

One of the best tirades was when he equated players being attractive as translating to performance on the field and if you questioned it, he went off on you.. it was hilarious (he reprimanded me for disagreeing and I remembered it)

 

[lukeneyland]

If Tennessee played in the ACC or Big 12 we’d go undefeated

 

[Visidog]

All you can do is win the games on the schedule. Tennessee been doing that and making it look easy.

 

[Lekvolrrah]

We ain’t there yet. Lots of room for improvement.

That D line is nasty tho. We definitely won't be out of any games with them. I enjoyed watching them more.

The performance you just saw was a classic Alabama/Georgia type dominant performance along the lines of scrimmage. Nico and receivers didn't even play that well and we won by 40+ points against a ranked opponent.

The best stat for measuring a dominant team isn't actually scoring margin (which can be susceptible to turnovers) but rather yardage differential. Our yardage differential thru 2 games has to be one of the best in the country. We're not just winning games by a lot of points. We're literally not allowing our opponent to move the ball while moving the ball at will with our offense.

We can play with anyone in the country. We look like a national championship caliber team.

We have not played Alabama, Georgia or Oklahoma yet so this statement is premature.

You’re equating stating facts with complaining. Congrats. I have little to no complaints with the NCST win. Other than Pearce getting neutralized again and the OL getting beat on the pick 6.

I was a big fan of Karla Bonoff back in the Seventies.

I was a big fan of Karla Bonoff back in the Seventies.

She was AWESOME. I had (have? somewhere) one of the concert posters from when she came to UT in the late 70s (its a blow up of the picture in the video at 42 seconds where she's showing a little leg). Loved her voice... very underrated. Nice find.

She was definitely a cutie!

Pretty sure she was playing at Alumni Gym. I remember seeing her and Bonnie Raitt there at different times. We sat right in front and had our feet on the stage. She didn't seem to mind. And yeah.. not hard on the eyes.

I wasn’t sure how to feel. Now I do. Thank you for this vote of confidence Dobbs 4 Daddy. I love you.
