Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Post more.

I would like to second this motion.

It lists Maurer as 6’3 but there is no way that’s true. I was close to him at the VW and he is closer to 6’1 maybe. I don’t buy for a second they are the same height

He def is not 6’3. Maybe with his helmet.

I was thinking if Fromm went down that UGA would be horrible on O. Well, he had a bad game, and they looked pretty pedestrian. No imagination at all from the OC there.

I’ve thought about reminding the UGA fans I know about all of the sh@# they talked about Chaney.

Agree Maurer is 6-1 180.. so skinny.

Possibly the only thing the sports source ever said that I agree with -
"the OC is always the most criticized assistant. When a play doesn't work, it was the call, when it does, we compliment the player. And whatever plays we decide he should have called, always works...in our imaginations".

This is so true.

LOL!

All orange every home game.

Do it

I remember when John Ward would talk about the "sea of orange"!

Five-star Arik Gilbert ‘sees opportunity to build something from ground up’ at Tennesse, weighing decision

On one hand, this feels like a pipe dream. On the other, Tee and Nieds are recruiting him. I am not betting against those two.

Gotta get through next week clean
Winning is probably not gonna happen but you never know so if we lose we don’t need crazy people calling to fire Pruitt. The last 5 games are huge, bowl game is possible but uab and Uk get a bye before us while Mizzou comes off of Florida and uga the weeks before us. UscE is the big one, win and we have a chance to win out with the confidence this team hopefully is building. Recruiting can still be good if we go 5-7 but don’t need to fall on our asses the month of November.

I’m about 6’2 myself and I am taller than Maurer. Dobbs was noticeably taller than me face to face

 

[csprig9]

People mad a Chaney sometimes I get
But when he’s got a QB he’s confident in he opens it up. He is a retread but who else could we get? When he’s got good players or guys he’s confident in he’s still one of the top 5-7 OCs in the country IMO.

Had to look it up. They finished 10-2 losing to Tennessee and Auburn. Hopefully they will beat FL, lose to Auburn and then AL. Those fans would die especially after the way they lost to Texas.

Or lose to FL, Auburn, and wait for it... Texas.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ id love to have those 'problems'.

precisely like saying 'Alabama has more money than me!' 'Unreal'...

'Sir you are a billionaire'.

'Yeah but Bama?'

 

[Skizer41]

Team played pretty well with that early kickoff. If we get that version early bring me all the noon games.

Not all teams look sharp in early games (see Georgia)

Was talking from a crowd standpoint. And the team has said multiple times in the last few weeks how it feeds off the crowd. And we don't always play well at noon (see Florida game)

So would I. Georgia fans hopefully will get to experience what happens when you are pissed with those results.

 

[csprig9]

I still like our coaches and our guys are getting better, youth and inexperience all over the field is our problem right now, those guys are gonna be a problem starting next year for the rest of the sec imo

Really wish some upper class dline would redshirt
Some of those guys are really starting to play better
Week1 to week 6 has been a huge change in guys as for as progression goes

Time to turn the page on the first half of the season. 2-4. We thought there was a good shot to be 4-2. We now know it should have been the result.

Second half - we wanted 3 wins for the "7-5 would be a good second season" majority of posters. Instead we need 4 to bowl and 5 to hit the 7-5.

I see nothing in UAB, Vandy and UK that is concerning. That leaves one or both of USCe and Mizzou. USCe has QB issues and will face UF before us, so there is a good opportunity at home. We already know our fate against Bama, however, this will be a good exercise to see who mans up and who doesn't. A 2-2 October was always going to be acceptable.

The good news it appears Pruitt is back on path to get another season as HC. That needed to happen to recruit a good class and continue the rebuild.

Do you really believe that Tennessee was gonna replace Pruitt after this year? SMH

Dobbs measured 6'3" at the combine.

Lotta people munching popcorn wanting to see bullbub base turn on kirby dumb.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I'm not saying we beat Bama but what if the game ends closer than expect ed. Lets say 38-17. How would you feel then?

 

[Paper_Towel]

How long did the Mutt announcer go on about Kenneth George Jr. stepping on the center's hand?

In rewatching some of the game this morning, I keep coming back to the Tyler Byrd touchdown pass.

The play defines a lot of what I love about sports. You have two freshmen receivers doing their jobs. The little details. Were they great blocks? No. Were the effective? Yes. Nice effort from two guys who probably weren't asked to do a lot of blocking in their high school careers.

Then you have Tyler Byrd and JG. Two veterans who didn't bail on their team. In a day and age where Tommy leaves his travel baseball team because he's not playing the position he or his parents want him to play. Or a kid transfers from his team because he didn't get the number he wanted or they get mad at the coach and they leave. In a time where guys are shutting it down at the college level because their team isn't any good, Byrd and Guarantano show up and are ready when called upon.

Both have played for 4 different position coaches in 4 years, 2 head coaches, and 4 different offensive coordinators. Neither have had the careers they or the fans anticipated and the quarterback knew those in the stadium didn't want him on the field, but both played, both did what they were asked to do in order to win the game.

Are they suddenly difference makers or should be major factors moving forward, no one is suggesting that, but when called up two "castaways" were ready and did their job.
