Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[The Dog]

I recommend the Spence-Garcia fight, tonight to ease the pain. Imo, a great night of championship boxing can make u forget a loss. When UT lost to Memphis when Peyton was playing, I went to bed after the game. Woke up when my pay-per-view came on, then watched Holyfield knock Tyson out, it was very therapeutic. I still couldn't read the paper Sunday

 

[drvenner]

He’s trash

Noodle arm?

 

[vol4eva]

Pruitt mentioned academics. Maybe im reading too much but im guessing he might've been struggling.

We've had a alot of players struggle academically over the years and haven't quit on their teammates mid season. Poor excuse....

Didn’t Aaron Murray say UT made a mistake hiring Pruitt, when we did? He wasn’t wrong.

Yeah, but F him

“I don’t think he’s the right guy to kind of be the CEO of a corporation. He’s really good managing just a defense and being a defensive coordinator. He needs to prove to me that he can handle the whole ship.”

This coastal Carolina team would beat the brakes off us.

 

[drvenner]

Positives:
1. HB flashed, and played well all things considered.
2. Chandler and Gray ran hard
3. No turnovers.
4. Played relatively clean game
5. I don't think effort was an issue
6. Shrout played well too... All in all...QB was a bright spot.
7. The defense wasn't good... But I liked the effort level, and they did make plays that could've kept us in this game.

I think that's it.

OL play and play calling were so bad.

Noodle arm?

Arm strength is great
Horrible QB

Probably DROPPED his classes

 

[drvenner]

Is it too late for me to opt out?

Yep

@JacketVol start pulling your money man!..all of you who contribute need to pull your money and spend it else where because It’s not being invested for the benefit of the kids,winning or a product on the field the fans will accept...force Fulmers hand.

We averaged giving up 2.4 sacks a game this year. HB gave up 5 JUST through his ~3 quarters today. Feels a lot like JG's freshman season. He'll improve on that, just not good rn and our pass pro stinks.

 

[Batman1948]

I know some of you guys put your money on Florida to cover in this game and I just hope you lost a bunch. No self respecting Vol fan would bet against your team. It's sad. Have a good night though thinking about how Florida screwed you

 

[Smokeytom]

i def think it will be esp when and if, ya know. We get a new coach necks year.

Oh yeah were in 100% agreement then lol

 

[millst987]

Never bet on or against your team

Aaron Murray

Not unfair at all.

 

[Devo182]

You know what’s really going to piss me off? When Bailey does very well to finish the season and knowing that if he played all year, like he should have, we’d have 2-3 more wins and everyone would love Pruitt.

And I don’t want to hear this crap about he wasn’t ready, blah blah blah, he was better and more ready than JG the moment he arrived in Knoxville. Period.

The Freshman has needed to start and play the whole game, not come in when the game was decided.

We're winning tomorrow because of the freshman.

HB fixing to save Pruitt

 

[Ron Swanson]

UT, it’s time to find a new coach.

One of those was his fault for not throwing the ball away when everyone was covered. The rest were guys coming untouched.
The one where he tried to get rid of it to Gray, Fant just stepped aside.

 

[Catbone]

It sucks to be a vol

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Nice game by Bailey. He’s still a bit early

Shrout throws the best ball on the team by far. Not sure why he never gets any play

Gimme Shrout next game and let Bailey get some work as well

 

[Ashevolle]

In Tennessee's last 157 games, they are 77-80.


• In Tennessee's last 100 SEC games, they are 30-70.



• In their last 13 games against Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, Tennessee is 0-13. The average margin of loss has been almost 30 points.



• Since the end of Tennessee's eight game winning streak, they've lost six in a row. They've lost those six by an average of 19.5 points.



• This is Tennessee's longest losing streak since 1988.



• Tennessee has had 6+ losses in 10 of the last 13 years.



• Tennessee hasn't had a 10-win season since 2007.



• Tennessee has had 15 straight 4+ loss seasons.



• Tennessee hasn't finished the season in the AP top 20 in the last 12 years.



• Tennessee hasn't had consecutive 10-win seasons since 2003-2004, which is much better than Auburn (1988-1989).



• Butch Jones had 11 20+ point losses in his six seasons as head coach. Jeremy Pruitt already has 12.



• Butch Jones led the Vols to three straight bowl wins from 2014-2016. Since then, they've only made a bowl game once.

Is that bad?

Bailey should have been starting against Arkansas and AU.
