Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

I don’t think you can really make that assumption.

If Pitt loads up and stacks the box then I bet we air it out and throw it 42 times. And the offense and Milton look better.

But if they play to stop the pass then we grind it out on the ground.

What you saw last night was a team taking advantage of what the defense was giving them. That’s all coaching and I am here for it.

Agree. RB’s produce in Hype’s O, not so much with Leach. Big philosophy difference there.... Pitt will not be an easy game though...

 

[drvenner]

I think it does. It doesn’t mean they WILL beat it. But they’ve proven they can.

This offense is a gimmick - it’s like watching a 10 year old play Madden once they figure out the no huddle button. Bowling Green could not take advantage of it because of the talent and size disparity, but you saw in the second quarter what happens when things are “figured out” a little bit.

And yet, they did not stay "figured out." 309 yards and 24 points in the second half. Giving up 34 as Pitt did is also not exactly shutting something down. I predict if we score 34 against Pitt, we win. If it is such a gimmick, how is it ranked so highly year in and year out in scoring and total yards?

 

[VolGee4]

Tillman is best at high pointing the ball, like what he did on the last TD. Also, 0.10 difference in the 40 wouldn’t have made a difference with the two overthrown passes. Tillman beat his guy by a couple of yards both times.

Only if it's HB. I'm out on Hooker

Hooker lost someone 220k….

Right lol and we just put up the most yards we have ever put up in forever with Milton missing people all over the field

 

[Christian Lowe]

Link. And Ben can be FOS. Both he and Swain subscribe to that Dormady goddaughter conspiracy.

It was during a show. You’d have to go back to the day after they hired the Arizona guy

Bama, in a huge opening upset after an unexpected poor offensive performance led by a surprisingly lost-looking Young, and a Miami offense that shows up much better than anticipated. Bama's defense shows some frustration and stumbles late. It doesn't help that To'oTo'o leaves in the 2nd quarter after a targeting call.



Oh, why the hell not?

Deandre Johnson will probably have 6 sacks, fumble recovery, and a TD for Miami.

 

[drvenner]

Many folks will say Alabama truly became the dynasty they are when the offense caught up with the defense. I don’t dispute that at all. They have gotten faster and more “advanced” as well.

But the true difference maker is an advanced offense WITH elite talent. Air raid/high tempo offense without talent is just a gimmick to make up for said talent disadvantage. Ole Miss and Mississippi State, both this year and last, are examples worth watching.

No one is arguing against you that we have to recruit at an elite level. This is the toughest conference with the best players. Scheme can only do so much. Heupel said the same in his pregame interview. It is all about the Jimmys and the Joes. Not sure why you think people are disagreeing with you about the talent level required to win consistently in the SEC.

Outside of UGA, any SEC teams losing this week?

Swaggerfield could possibly derail the Lane train. Corral is really good, though.

We don't beat Pitt with last night's Milton. Talk big all you want. We won the game last night with the run game and defensive adjustments at halftime. Otherwise it would have been a 21-12 type barn burner reminiscent of the Cornbread era. Pitt coaches/staff saw the same game we did. Pitt will scheme accordingly and they have a defensive guru as a HC. The second quarter was embarrassing last night. I realize we had second teamers on the field getting experience on D in that quarter, but not so much on O. I realize Heup was probably trying to get the Milton/Tillman connection established the entire game. But why to the exclusion of the open TE's and other WR's unless it was bad reads by Heup's guy.

As the year goes on injuries will occur and the second teamers may be starting and/or playing a lot. The competition strongly improves outside of two games on the schedule. Starting a QB who cannot read coverages and find the open man while not being able to throw more than just fast balls is not going to do much for the team this season. Heup's got his work cut out for him on the Milton reclamation tour. Saturday will be a great indicator for how it's going to go this season if Milton stays the QB and it will not be much different if he changes and goes with Hooker.

Facts - both Milton and Hooker failed as starters at their previous stops. Both are 4th year guys. Both HC's at their previous stops are still the HC's. They moved on from them during the season after losing and seeing enough. So good luck with that, Coach. Maybe he's trying to take the pressure off HB for a season or two and give him time to adapt. Maybe he just does not like what he sees. Maybe he wants to throw T-Jackson to the SEC wolves as a true freshman. Time will tell.

You do know that Heup put 45 and 34 points up against that defensive guru the last two times they played.

Wish Pruitt would have pursued Howell.

So talk radio chatter? Gotcha.

 

[volbeast33]

As expected, we don’t have the big swinging dick donors to keep up with the best

Who do we have that should be getting the big bucks?

 

[JT3]

Swain agreed with me on his show today. We shouldn't have been running go routes with Tillman. That needs to be Hyatt, Peyton, or Velus. Tillman is the slowest receiver on the team. He's a jump ball guy. Why didn't we run those routes with the other guys?

I was wondering the same thing. Not that it would have mattered with the over throws.

 

[butchna]

Wish Pruitt would have pursued Howell.

Would still be at UNC. Unless you wanted to add a better 18 season to your wish list.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Chandler doing well on this drive.

 

[drvenner]

Is the spread already out? Can't find it.

They flashed the FPI last night and gave percentages for us winning all of our remaining games. The Pitt game was at 45%. Might be what he was referring to.

 

[ButchAintOne]

Chandler with a few nice runs

 

[rekinhavoc]

1st game jitters.

Vanilla game plan.

No need to pass when you can run the ball.

Defense gave up no touchdowns and no points in the second half.

Pitt is fixing to get nut punched.

Milton will get his groove. Heupel will get the offense rolling.


P.S. This is the same board that called Kate Upton fat. Take opinions with a grain of salt.

Milton actually would have done better if the WR’s didn’t drop some passes. So, despite what we’ve seen, I don’t think he’s bad at all. I think we do better against Pitt than some think. Maybe not some dominating win, but at least a competitive game.

That was the one I remember fondly...lot of leg churning to not get a yard.

Andre Ware predicted that he would bring enough of a running threat to propel Sam Howell to the Heismann.
