How to game plan for Tennessee

[David Ubben]

Last week, Chattanooga gave The Athletic an all-access pass inside the program. Coaches meetings, film sessions, practices, game-planning sessions ... everything.

I learned more about Tennessee's schemes in those few days than I did all last season covering the team. Tons of insight into how teams are putting together game plans to attack Tennessee and what this coaching staff does and doesn't do.

A sample:

Chattanooga coaches also note that when two tight ends were on the field and Guarantano was under center, Tennessee ran the ball 83 percent of the time. But the Vols ran only behind No. 81, Austin Pope. The defensive staff watches clip after clip of the same thing. Pope starts the play on one side. Whether he moves with or without fellow tight end Dom Wood-Anderson or stays put, the running game is headed in one direction: Pope’s.

“All you gotta do is look at the tight end. He’ll tell you,” Ward said.

Yeager keys up one more play. Pope moves. Ward calls it out.

“Outside zone, they’re gonna run it to 81,” he says.

He’s right.

Here's the full story.

Wow. I'm just speechless. But of course if we give this collection of brilliant minds that is our coaching staff several years, one magical day they'll suddenly not gameplan like bozos.

Unless the article is an outright lie, this is really several levels beyond incompetent coaching, and explains a helluva lot.

Yea you are right, they don't have a clue about coaching.

We're saying that Chaney sucks at OC? That's what we're saying?

It really is astounding. I'd love to see the pumpers explain away this one. Even a paid shill can't spin this.

Seemed to really help UTC out.

Again guys I am just so disappointed in what transpired with Brian today....I'd let the kid throw 3 interceptions before I'd made him run the ball over and over........I don't know what these coaches do to get a backup ready...Of course if they can't get the starter ready I guess I should understand...

 

[TAF]

Vanilla offense all year till League play...

I hope florida gameplan like UTC

Be glad that first pass wasn't against Fla.............

You didn't read very closely, did you? I didn't pay to read the entire article but you don't even have to go past the free part to find the answer to your fatuous remark when their coach said he knew his players couldn't handle our players' speed.

Or, the shorter rebuttal would be, do you understand what FCS means?

Yeaahh...

I feel like UTC must have got it wrong.

Maybe they're missing a thumb drive with some extra videos?

 

[orange_glory]

We suck

 

[kcvols1]

fatuous

Teehee. You typed "fatuous."

But, but, but we have the best coaching staff in the hiatory of the world. We can't be predictable, can we?

 

[nomads-11]

Hmmm, last week sitting on the couch, watching Pope in motion, I said 1) run play and 2) to whichever side Pope wound up. Its close to being a Caption Obvious scenario. Not even close to being a surprise.

I read it. Still applies.

Mr. Ubben appeared to believe he stumbled on some goldmine or something.

Hah! Agree.

Fatuous.

That's a good one.

Your post above makes every bit as much sense as a third-grader who, when told by his English teacher that he just used a word incorrectly, replies with, "Did not."

Knowing what the other team is going to do doesn't help a lot if you can't run as fast as they can. In case you missed it, our fabulous speed that you seem so confident in didn't do us much good against mighty Georgia State.

How do you think our winning combination of speed that can't beat GSU and game plans that UTC figured out will serve us in Gainesville?

 

[lifeisdeep]

Hah! Agree.

Fatuous.

That's a good one.

It's more than a little ironic that your above post is a great example of fatuousness. Maybe you should take the time to look up the word so you don't look quite so foolish. Takes two seconds via Google.

I had some obligations that caused me to miss watching the game. Apparently, we lost again, right?

I'm not paying for that app.

Question though. How many games or which game was that film compiled from? Last year or just this year? Both games or just 1 game?

Cause I mean um that play we ran 30+ times successfully against BYU after JG forced Chaney to scrap the game plan and pull something out of his a$$ sounds allot like what you described. I bet the percentage of running with the TE would match up also.


This wouldn't be low effort schill for the Athletic or a cheap smear at our coaches by trying to disingenuously misconstrue the success of a play we abused BYU with would it?

Can anyone who has read the article validate the film they compiled their percentages from?



BTW: I've figured out the simple strategy by which anyone can perfectly align a rubix cube. You'll have to pay for my app to get the full scope of my one side at a time strategem though.
