Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

In all fairness, JG’s helmet comes off like 5 times a game as it is cause he doesn’t tighten the effing chin straps And I’m sure the refs notice that too.

He got hit in the face. At least, it looked like it from the angle they showed on the replay.

I'm going to get blocked for this but sometimes you gotta risk it for the biscuit.

I am ashamed to breath the same air as a so called fan that thinks tweeting at players and families is ok.

Disgusting example of fans standing cowardly behind computers attacking people that don’t deserve it.

Disgusting behavior that should be condemned by every decent true fan of this program.


And there is zero name calling here @drvenner

You do know we were the least penalized team in the SEC before that game..right? And I am not covering for that garbage officiating crew...they were twisted.

i do. commented on it in another post. but we did have some dumb penalties that were legit.

 

[chargervol]

i love how he looks back at the marker..........lol. this is perfect.

Notice how the Bama assistant moves up and places his foot, in case the ref had any doubt lol.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Not true. Lol

Rusher for 76 in quarter 1 when they led. On pace for 304.

Actually rushed for 276. That ain’t mainly in garbage time. Not even close. In fact ran better when it wasn’t garbage time lol

ROFL you didn't watch the game at all did you?

Ole Miss in the 1st half had a total of 147 yards and 10 points.
Ole Miss in the 2nd half (down 28 points to start) had a total of 335 yards and 21 points.

All their numbers came in garbage time, in the 2nd half when they were losing by 28 points. They never got anywhere near closing the gap either. They got behind at the start of the 2nd quarter and didn't score again until Bama had hung 24 more on them to close out the half.

Lot of people jumping to BM being out, but really there has no been no word yet. He could still go. If not, I think any remaining bowl hopes still remain with JG. Repeat last year's plan vs Muschamp, with better defense. JJ in the redzone? Shrout still looks waay unready.

I’ll give you a like just out of pettiness.your assessment sh*tty hot takes on
”what you think needs to be done”,after seeing how selfish JG really can be,are about as good as Lee Corso picking the damn schools mascot.You are literally the only one still backing this p**sy,it’s mind boggling to me.

 

[UTSuave’]

Did you just agree with him?

Sorry “Blue Font”

We are talking rushing yards.


They game was competitive for 1 quarter and that’s the quarter ole miss racked up a lot of yards on the ground

Anyway the overall point is is that Bama isn’t dominate up front like years past.
Everyone knows that is true

I agree it started slow. I really am enjoying the second trilogy. I think the last book won't be out until like Spring of '21, so you might want to wait. I don't read very much any more. I tend to listen on audible, but I read MST originally and have listened to it on audible now. I will likely re-listen to the first two books in this trilogy before the last one comes out.

I'm an audible fanatic now. I read about 1/3 of books, listen to 2/3. If you've never read First Law by Abercrombie, it's by far the best audio book series ever. Not even close. Steven Pacey is the best in the business as a narrator.

I have seen that before. The ole twisted foot mark. He even looks back at the marker to make sure.
Edit: I am an echo.

Well it's USC week now, Bama game is done and over with.

They put up more yards than the Gators did, on what was "supposed" to be one of the best defenses in the SEC. Over 200 yards running as well, should we be a bit worried?

I'm hoping USC is worn down from the emotional roller-coaster they've gone through the last few weeks. We gave #1 Bama all they wanted into the 4th quarter, regardless of the final score. Didn't have any major injuries other than Maurer.

Feel like every week more and more freshman are getting snaps and contributing too, and they all seem hungry to play.

I love the fact that we are home dogs against South Carolina. I'm hoping they come into Knoxville thinking it's going to be a easy game.

We are both coming off of good opponents. The difference is I think that the Florida vs USCjr game was much more physically than our game. We were not pushed around and worn out by Bama like we have been in the pass.

We need to build off what we have been doing in the past two week. Our Oline has made strides and we are starting to play on their side of the line of scrimmage on defenss. Greg Emerson, Darrel Middleton, Kivon Bennett, and Darrell Taylor are all starting to get pressure on the QB. Would be great if we could get Butler and Solomon to take the next step forward (Solomon might need to take 2 or 3 steps forward but I think Butler is close).

 

[LynxVol]

Did you see Marquez run to Maurer when he when down? The WRs know he's their shot.

They probably just care about the guy, not just as a teammate. Maurer is vocal and inspirational. Maurer seems like he genuinely cares about his team, and he gets the same treatment in return. Funny how that works. Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything close to that with JG.

How about you just admit that tweeting players and families is out of bounds and a sad state of affairs for what these kids/families go thru?

You have kids?

You want strangers attacking you on social media?

Would you and your kids deserve that?

Everyone knows that is true

The overall point is that the majority of their yards (rushing included) came while down by 28 FREAKING POINTS.

Ole Miss is 3-5 with wins over Vandy & Arkansas, they aren't a good team. The youth of Bama didn't know how to play with a lead, and Ole Miss racked up stats that meant absolutely nothing.

We need a petition to move SEChq to Atlanta or Nashville. Time to stop have bammers play old boy Network and move the HQ to a legit city without a real SEC team. / 75% blue font.

 

[TrueVolsGBOInsider]

I agree. Just wish he would tighten his chin strap so it’s undeniable when his helmet comes off that it was more than likely a personal foul.

Atlanta makes the most sense.

[jkleno]

JG --> Jersey kid--> Sopranos. Connection? How can he look so "good" according to the coaches this spring and display this garbage in the fall.

 

[LynxVol]

yeah, Tua was out, so was our starter. and is anyone really gonna start to tell us how "even" our rosters our all the sudden with the absence of Tua?

Tua or not, we matched, if not exceeded, Bama physically on the LOS.

that ain't got nothing to do with Tua.

and our WR's matched up well with their DB's...gave them problems all night physcially.

put all the officiating to the side, and the JG play to the side, and we played them as close to even as we have in 10 years....i can only recall the 2009 and 2015 games that were as good a match up physically.

i think this game becomes the game that shows we are turning a corner, IF we can take the momentum from last week, the positives from this week and turn it in to something that can carry us, and build on, the rest of the way. we aren't going to play another teamt he rest of the schedule that is as talented or as physical as Bama, UGA, or UF.

the concern is "who are we?" are we the team that just needs stop shooting ourselves in the foot? or are we the team that does shoot ourselves in the foot?

whoever the QB is can't keep turning it over. and we simply can't have the penalties. while i have my own issues wiht many of the calls that went against us, there were plenty that were legit....especially the false starts, illegal motion or illegal formation type stuff....

anyway, i've seen enough from us this year to see improvement from game 1 thru Saturday. and i've seen us "finish" an SEC game the way you'd like to see us to.

we need to do it 4 or 5 more times...and the good news is there's 5 more opportunities to do it.

go beat USCe this weekend, get this bowl momentum going and FINISH this season the right way.

The bolded was my biggest takeaway from this weekend. I agree. We competed and arguably won the LOS battle. Talent, technique, physical size, etc. make a difference on the LOS, but you also have to have that "want to." They had it. Said it earlier, it's been a long time since I've seen a UT team compete and win a lot of match-ups on the LOS for an entire game.
