Heupel’s offense is not innovative

[deezvols]

I agree. When he was hired, I thought our offense was going to be fun to watch. I’ve been disappointingly bored with our offense so far.

Finding things to complain about in a 56-0 win… the Volnation way

This would make a great bumper sticker

 

[The Original Fade]

I didn't expect to see anything exotic against Tennessee Tech.

Did you see anything exotic vs Pitt?

 

[Vol524]

ONLY Volnation could find a reason to complain about a 56-0 win. It doesn't matter who we played. It was a warm up for next week. We played a bunch of people that normally don't play. We moved people around. We created turnovers. Oh, WE WON for cryin out loud. Honest to God, if we went undefeated and won a NC. Some of you would find something to complain about. SMDH

 

[butchna]

Leach’s is much more sophisticated…he doesn’t believe in runningbacks.

 

[Powder and shot]

With Hooker Milton play the run and we have two turnovers at least and get stuffed because neither has eyes to see filed. Play Bailey and we might be 2 dimensional. However, he has not had enough game work.

Very happy with the win, defense played really well. The offense through 3 games from a play calling standpoint is not what I thought we were getting in JH

I don’t think people are necessarily complaining about the win. They are extrapolating the play on the field today to conference play…and it’s not looking rosy.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

I think tempo....wider splits from the WRs...and the desire to push the ball down the field in passing are the 3 biggest differences between this and anything else we have seen at UT.

There is nothing unique in the calls or designs versus what you can see most teams running around the game nowadays though.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I’ve seen enough from Bailey.

Start Hooker for the rest of the season.

 

[cooterbob]

Get Drew Martin to transfer here

 

[OrangeVolMan]

How much of that was created by the defense? Again, 410 yards vs Tenn Tech??

You have to put the 417 in context. We had a 96 yard drive and the next longest one was 52. The defense gave us such good field position we didn’t have long drives to pile up yards. Then the defense scored on a pic so the offense didn’t get a possession.

 

[orangerush]

play all our QBs at once, three heads is better than one, right?

 

[TJVol95]

Gus runs the same thing. Just need a QB to strike.

Offense actually showing a pulse for the first time in years, we're averaging over 40 points a game but this guy is bored lol

yall are funny.

 

[Powder and shot]

Next week we will set the record for 3 and outs, crushed dual threat QBs and punting yards

 

[Eastknox865]

The plays I’m seeing are not innovative or creative, just a bunch of RPO hand offs, screens, and the occasional deep shot. The only thing that’s different is the tempo. Heupel’s philosophy is to run as many plays as possible to creative as many scoring opportunities as possible. But the plays themselves are nothing special. Thoughts?

I believe he is calling what the players do well and not asking them to do to much

 

[lukeneyland]

Think you are basing this too much off us running well in the end vs an exhausted bad team. I think Hooker or Milton is our best chance. Hooker did well enough he’d protect the ball

 

[DC_Vol]

Start Hooker for the rest of the season.

Put Cooter in!!!

The offensive struggles have everything to do with the OL not winning their battles and nothing to do with the scheme being too simple.

 

[Eastknox865]

Start Hooker for the rest of the season.

But Bailey is the best option

 

[Special Ed]

The offense may not yet be all we want it to be, but the Vols are averaging 42 points per game so far this season.
Haven't seen that in a while.

 

[cooterbob]

Put Cooter in!!!

I'm ready to give my all

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

I’ve seen enough from Bailey.

Start Hooker for the rest of the season.

He doesn't get many snaps in practice and he was throwing to the 3rd team so don't write him off that quickly. You know what he did last season and during the O&W game.

If we need him he will do fine.

Its year one. He wants team to not think too much and slow everything down. See last staff.....doesnt matter how complicated it is as long as it works
