Who else loves the OL in motion? Every team in the league will have it copied by next game.

I loved it. Especially the 2nd time they ran it.

Calbert with a full head of steam running downhill was a beautiful sight.

Wanya has to do a better job sealing the end though. They get that fixed and that play is gonna crush defensive formations.

you can’t give Pruitt COY bc that 1-4 start was his own doing, but i think he should finish 3rd behind O and Mullen.

Saban better not be anywhere near the top 3. He botched this season for bama.

On you die-hard JG haters, go back and look at my posts during the preseason or look at the coaches interviews or look at JG’s interviews. The staff was trying to empower JG. They were taking the “kid gloves off”. I think that was a work in progress. He was given a lot of latitude with the offense, probably more than he could handle. As far as I can tell the coaches never lost confidence in him and Pruitt has been incessant in saying JG is going to win a lot of ball games for us this year.

I think the difference probably in the last few weeks is Chaney has stepped up to help JG out a lot more. For the staff there was never any question about his talent and ability. I think the question was always about how do you get that out of him on the field, on game day. By all reports he’s been amazing in practice but struggled early in the year translating that to his Saturday performances. Not a single person on the staff has ever questioned JG’s work ethic; on the contrary, he has often been praised in that department.

I think JG may have started the year a bit cocky. It was a hard and painful lesson to learn, the difference between confidence and cockiness. Embedded in confidence is a requisite portion of humility; there is an absence of humility in cockiness. Confidence won’t fail on you but with cockiness oftentimes you’ll fall flat on your face. I think we’re beginning to see some growing confidence and maturity in JG and he has a long ways to go BUT I’d venture it will likely be a setback to the program if we started over now with someone else.

Since the horrid season of 2017 and all the utter failure of that season our guys have been adrift in mediocrity. A lot of fans have developed BVS and so when the game is winding down and everything is on the line many just default to the here we go again syndrome. For me that mostly ended on the last drive of the Kentucky game where we were trying to run out the clock. JG ran the ball on what looked to be a design run and he got the needed first down to keep the clock running, AND he stayed inbounds. That one play, especially staying inbounds, broken hand and all, was a team play and JG made it. Again, last night, on the last drive, we got the first downs when we had to have them.

I’ve said a number of times before that I saw JG as a quarterback trying to play football not as a football player trying to play quarterback. JJ is a football player. Bituli is a football player. Trey Smith is a football player. I’ve always thought the problem with JG was he didn’t know how to win ball games, especially close ball games. Quarterbacks can’t win football games; it takes football players. It looks to me like JG is learning how to be a football player, and that, imo, is a credit to himself, to the team, to our staff, and to our development program. jmo.

The TV replay was from the backside angle, the ball definitely came out as a result of targeting.

The other angle also shows the true force of impact. TJ's head whips so violently, I was just glad he was ok after watching the replay. I'll try to post that angle in a bit.

Want to adjust my statement for accuracy.
#93 for Mizzou had his hand on the ball trying to yank it out. Jordan was managing to hold on until the moment of impact from the other Mizzou player.
Guess the bell ringing was too much but credit 93 for his part.

Part of Finenaum's BS there is that he is fussing and crying like a baby in sh!tty diapers that O beat his precious nickie. So he takes a shot. I think this is the kind of thing PF thinks of as subtle snd sophisticated.

OTOH, he might spot the new boss of the league and be trembling that nickie is going down and that everyone else in the league rightfully hates his sycophant blowjob face. But I'm ok with the suck up, given that it might help us with recruiting, if he continues with the point.

Man what a terrible take.

Saban with 1 loss, by 5 to LSU is a "botched season" but you want to hand Mullen a nod? He lost to LSU & Georgia, Auburn was the only top tier team Florida managed to beat. And Auburn isn't exactly elite since they lost to every top level team they faced except Oregon and will finish just 4-4 in the SEC.

No way you -can't- put Pruitt in the SEC COY debate, there will only be 4 teams with better records than 5-3 once the dust settles. LSU, Bama, Georgia, Florida. And UT will be the only SEC team to have faced at least 3 of the top 4 in the regular season.

1 for Bama only facing LSU
1 for Georgia only facing Florida
2 for LSU only facing Bama & Florida
2 for Florida only facing LSU & Georgia

UT will have faced Georgia, Florida, & Bama. We were picked 5th in the East and after we beat Vandy we'll finish 3rd in the East and 5th in the entire SEC at 5-3. Pruitt will for sure be getting votes.

Mississippi state had the best running offense in SEC and we stuffed them.
Muschamp had never lost to Tennessee-- He lost.
In the Kentucky game Tennessee’s defense was on the field for 12 minutes, 46 seconds in the fourth quarter and didn’t allow a point.
SEC defensive player of the week three weeks in a row.
For the first time in program history, Tennessee has had three players each record more than 100 receiving yards in the same game.
Jarrett Guarantano has fourth best passing yard in program history. (Tyler bray and Manning) Edit: I think Mizzou had a top pass defense?
Juan Jennings is top 10 receiver in program history

Anything else?

Also, shout out to Fulmer. He's a great AD. I don't know all the sports at UT, but the ones I know seem to be winners or headed that way. Stadium renovations coming..
