Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Smokey123]

You mean there are 5 QBs that have been sacked more?

Correct

 

[LA Vol]

If the Vols win out and go 7-5, we have a shot at a Florida bowl. Depending on how other teams finish, the Gator Bowl is interested in a 7-win UT team. That's a pretty big incentive for the players. If we win 6, we're likely headed to the Liberty Bowl. Memphis would be great for '20 recruiting. The coaches have challenged the players to win November, so they have something to play for.

We made UK one dimensional. In order to beat Missouri we have to take away the run on defense and score early and often on offense. Missouri will get their big chunk yardage plays but we have to limit them.

If Dooley has any sense (I laughed out loud as I typed that) Missouri will pick on #28 all night long. We can stop the run, but Lock can pick us apart.

Was really glad to see this dude back on the field.

Truth

Brady has to be the most unatheltic professional athlete I've ever seen outside Bartolo Colon. And I'm not certain that Colon wouldn't beat him in a foot race.

Don’t insult Big Sexy.

Mizzou will test our secondary, but we'll have all our DBs back. Having Flowers, Thompson and Abernathy ready to go will make a difference, and Osborne is much improved. Mizzou plays as inconsistently as UT has this season, and Neyland should be loud with a bowl game in reach. No reason not to be optimistic.

I want to see AT get his first interception. I think if he gets one he might house it.

Warrior, too. Our secondary is growing up.

Dang bass old man is what 59 ha ha, he'll probably be throwing from a wheelchair before long. For what it's worth can't stand the guy.

 

[JacketVol]

Can you kindly regale us with some good stories of all those salty big blue tears flowing throughout the game?

I turned around once to see one of those blue coats singing Rocky Top with us.

I think an old man in a wheel chair could outrun him.

I'd like to see that as well, but quarterbacks rarely throw his way.

We're in good hands.... BT is a ball hawk and AT is a shut down corner. And both are true freshman who barely (if ever) played the position in high school.

 

[Aesius]

Willie Taggart is doo doo. No idea why people wanted that Bozo here. He's proven nothing on the field.

He’s a hype man. Pruitt is the exact opposite of that Butch Jones, Willie Taggart, PJ Fleck type coach. He has no hype whatsoever but he knows how to coach football. Give me that dude all day.

Should tell anybody what type of cat we having coaching db's. We'll turn into DBU if he's around here long enough.

I’m loving seeing this growth with the team but imagine if we held on against SC. We’re 6-4 and a punchers chance at 8-4. Heck even 7-5 is an insane accomplishment with this roster.

 

[jordan4vols]

I know we don’t match up well with Missouri but I’m gonna take Pruitt to dial up some pressure and have lock confused. I’m betting it would be a CBS love fest on Pruitt if we win and get to 6 wins Saturday

Ditto.

The roster is improved over the course of the season. It's November and the lines are showing up as strong and durable: strength, conditioning and coaching. It reflects where the team, as a whole, is.

 

[Rishvol]

How do we not match up well with Missouri?

 

[JacketVol]

I think how we finish this season may play into it as well.

I hope my source is wrong and he comes back. I used to love watching Tennessee because of all the great players. He is one of them. It is so much fun to watch him play on the field. So talented.

 

[volsagain]

How do we not match up well with Missouri?

Well we've not matched up with anyone the past 2 years. Pruitt doing wonders though we shall see what he comes up with.
