Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Like Freak said, I bet most of us felt like Auburn would get the onside kick and win in last seconds. BVS is real-- Last year, our team did backflips because we beat Southern Miss. OTOH, this year, Jennings did fist pump and then quietly handed the ball to ref after huge touchdown-- Pruitt is obviously teaching this team (and BVS fans) that being Tennessee VOL means that you should expect to win against good teams.

My husband looked so relaxed so I asked him if he was worried. He said that all they had to do was handle the ball then it's over. I asked did he know how many "all you have to do is" we had messed up.

Shoooweee just thinking about how damn good JG played yesterday.

Even despite all his teammates wanting to shank him in his sleep...

I hate these misleading headlines that ESPN likes to trot out. "First time Auburn has lost to Tennessee since 99." Almost as if we've played them every year since then and haven't won.

Hamstring for dwa. We will see how he responds. Fear with Kongbo is an acl. He will have an mri today or in the morning.

Haven’t followed recruiting as much this year - normally like to cram it all in a couple of days before NSD. Are we in the mix for any big time RBs?

Eric Gray out of Memphis. 5'10" 195lb four star playmaker.

Outside of that, probably not.

We have not seen that JG before yesterday.
His passes were perfect. Didn't throw into bad situations (multiple coverages). Gave the receivers a chance. Light bulb went off for him , receivers, and Helton.

Stack up and stop the run I dare ya'!
GBO!

JJ Peterson already had the bama game circled as one of his 4 games so I would say we definitely start seeing some of him with kongbo’s injury and Bituli’s first half suspension

I thought the same thing yesterday. With all the troubles this season the fact we have a kicker is way under the radar.

 

[drvenner]

Doesn't DeAndre Jordan play for the Mavericks now instead of the Clippers?

It's amazing the constant typos and grammatical errors that VQ prints. They can't even get names of the UT players right.

DeAndre Johnson's sack was critical. DeAndre Jordan's play this year will be critical if the Dallas Mavericks make the playoffs in the Western Conference.

I get the feeling that they don't take the time to get it proofread before posting it.

He was a reptile yesterday. Especially after that blocked kick to come back and nail the next one. Good for him.

Still think that blocked kick should've been a penalty because he went over the snapper to block it

I didn’t get to watch a lot of the game. Was at a work related function. Who is behind Kongbo and how did they play in his absence?

 

[engineerVOL]

This feels like the 2016 Florida win in that it took me until now to really appreciate the fact that we handily defeated them. That was a sound win.

Made big plays in the throw game and smacked them in the mouth on defense in the second half.

Deandre Johnson. And we got immediately better on pass rush. He had a key sack on fourth down.

It's been stated that RB is not as big of a need this year. Trying to get a great OL so next year can go after big time RBs.

When Auburn started their last drive I was already just hoping we would recover the onside kick.

Weird I thought Kongbo got hit in the kneecap. Figured it was a bruise or broken knee cap.

 

[engineerVOL]

I hate these misleading headlines that ESPN likes to trot out. "First time Auburn has lost to Tennessee since 99." Almost as if we've played them every year since then and haven't won.

I hate those stats. Like “It’s been 2,628 days and three presidential terms since such and such”

Well Bob! We’ve only played them a handful of times ya schmuck!

 

[drvenner]

The problem is that we can’t keep up that rate of conversion on third down. A good offense gets you into manageable third down yardage.

I was pleased with the improvement with play calling. Coaches can get better too. I do hope they get a little more creative in the run game. I cringed with the stretch handoff to one side, and the RB seems to have a defender in his face pretty quickly. There is still a little more misdirection that we can use in running the ball.

Agreed. Still plenty of room to improve with play calling

Ummmm what's behind the knee cap?

 

[rekinhavoc]

Took the dog out this morning and I could hear the low wail of sobbing coming from Georgia. Took a deep breath and soaked it in.

 

[engineerVOL]

Ummmm what's behind the knee cap?

Your mom.

 

[therickbol]

He’s at 297 right now. And he missed an entire season last year due to injury. He’ll get there.

He looks much smaller than that.
