Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXVIII

[PKT_VOL]

Basically quit once we lost our two starting tackles. Debord ain't called crap since then

Unfortunately, with a front 7 like Alabama's, there's not much you can do. Also started a FR at guard before they went down.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Play calling has been atrocious. But we had no chance with 4 of 5 starting Ol out and all these defensive players out. Picou is even in there at DT

 

[PKT_VOL]

after this game, why would you want to go to ATL and have your ass handed to you again like this?

If we get some players back, it will be a totally different game. They are playing are second and third team right now. Back away from the cliff.

 

[UT4LIFE86]

Punting down 4 scores wtf?

 

[Skullbone]

Worst game of the season at the worst time.

 

[AV_12]

No they won't.

Not out of the question


Schedule sucks. Tried to tell y'all

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

We just weren't ready for this game. If we're healthy in Atlanta it'll be a different game. We may not win still, but will be a lot better than this

Worst game of the season at the worst time.

When is the best time?

 

[Atzar]

This site is going to suck for the next two weeks, lol.

RIP crootin weekend

If we had all our players they are still way too much for us. If we were even talent wise we would still have a huge coaching deficiency.

 

[unioncityvol]

welp, it was a fun run boys.

 

[sigchig]

This is embarrassing.

 

[Dooby15]

Let's be real, any of us would've taken 2-2 the last 4 games and finishing 10-2. That's likely where we're headed. We were battered by injuries and ran into a great team at the end of a tough stretch.

 

[scvolfan7]

Major bummer but not shocking. That team is stacked and our backups and third string players just weren't fast or strong enough to compete. Thank god we have a bye week.

 

[JCP201]

Last year, when healthy, we almost beat them. I am going to remember that if we manage to find our way into the SEC championship (healthy)

 

[Catbone]

I'm over it. It's what I and most reasonable people expected, just a bit worse. The injury situation set us up for an embarrassment. Playing bama every year is pretty sh****.

The question is

1) Can we get back enough players to be good enough to win out and win the East? One more SEC loss and we lose.

2) How bad will this hurt recruiting? This was supposed to be a huge day

3) Will this team fold under the stress and disappointment? I hope we are mentally tough

All three are major concerns.

 

[nashvol1]

Silver Lining. The only thing going for us in recruiting is the injuries. 7 of 18 starters out and a lot of true freshmen playing against Bama.

Butch can sell the injuries as the reason us not performing and hopefully sell the recruits on opportunity.

 

[franklinpence]

I should know, but who is Tatum? Saw him in at right tackle.

Also had a bye week and Bama went through a tough run similar to our run

 

[nashvol1]

True freshmen from FL. Came in undersized but has wowed the coaches in practice. Needs a bulk up year. Could be really good

 

[Catbone]

Very sad we had to burn his RS.

 

[Rishvol]

This might be an unpopular opinion but I think the injuries are due to not hitting at full speed during practice. How can they players body get used to the grind if the don't hit during practice

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

I agree Cat- why the hell did we have to burn his shirt, is Hall injured? Why would he be benched?

 

[PKT_VOL]

If we had all our players they are still way too much for us. If we were even talent wise we would still have a huge coaching deficiency.

This isn't on the coaches at all. Sometimes you are totally outmatched; especially after our tackles went down on top of what we were already missing.
