Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[butchna]

We really need to buy a QB that can raise our floor to 6 wins, and get us into 8-win territory over a 3 year period. Someone with a B+ arm and decent mobility that can run Heupel's offense. That will lead to consistency that we can build on

Might have to give that hypothetical fella more than 3 games to prove it. You ready to tread that insane route?

Are we talking Hooker?

 

[BigSteve09]

Especially from that position. You have a DL or WR messing up, you consider tough love but when the one player in your class…your potential face of the program QUARTERBACK can’t string together consecutive incident free months? That’s supposed to be the young man that LEADS your fortunes and sets a tone for others. Cut it out and dispose.

It makes a lot of people that don't want to look bad look VERY bad around campus and Knoxville when the star QB is robbing students.

Anybody…but him too.

Late Friday slow-brain setting in, help me out. I would def give anyone more than 3 games. I said 3 years

 

[pierce60]

I think we see the QB get some yards on the ground tomorrow. If MO sells out to stop the run and leave man to man on the outside that means the DBs won’t be looking at the QB when they take off.

I was on the side of maybe not knowing the full story and regardless ok with a SECOND chance…but you’re right. QB needs to START better. Red flags shouldn’t be witnessed seconds after enrollment.

The Houston v Tulsa game might be a good one tonight.

Baby steps.

Saw where the VQ mods all picked TN in very close games. My gut tells me whomever wins will win pretty big, 10-14 points.

If it’s a close game I’m not sure our boys know how to win.

And are we all in agreement that Hooker is our best option in that category? Milton is decent, but lots of times it's like he's running in sand.

I think Hooker will get the start the next two games and he'll add some yards on the ground. He'll probably take a couple of hits and I could see Milton starting the Ole Miss game once he's back to 100% and Hooker gets some wear.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Probably sitting at home all day tomorrow, there are some sweet matchups. Any good HS games happening tonight?

 

[Batman1948]

Kiffin might do well here but that bridge wasn’t just burned. It was bombed and the earth underneath it salted. He will never, ever be back here.

I think he will. Don't we play Ole Pi$$ in Neyland this year? He's gotta come here for that

If Hooker gets the start, he better learn how to slide before taking hits. You just know they'll try to take him out of the game.

 

[Jackcrevol]

And I still haven’t seen anyone post anything objective showing that Kiffin is the great coach they think he is. He’s done nothing but score a lot of points.

After a few years, well for many after a few games, the fun of high scoring would wear off and they’d be complaining that he isn’t winning enough soon enough. He would start to wear on fans because he hasn’t and can’t win championship. And championships are what we want.

The Kiffin love is irrational at best.

he is a douche biscuit

 

[volbeast33]

I know that, 0 doubt. Doesn’t make it not an option, just not a realistic one. But possibly one of very few options to save the program.

That is absolutely ridiculous

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Don't really care how we win these next 2 games....just win them. Then we would be sitting at 4-2 waiting for Ole Miss to come to town in what is hopefully a night game. Then throw a little jab at Kiffin and come out in black unis and beat them.

 

[pismonque]

Are we talking Hooker?

Ah yes, the old Saturday late-night Plan B question after striking out all weekend....

 

[VolGee4]

I remember an embarrassing game against Mizzou and a missed bowl game by losing to inferior Vandy. The Oregon game was god awful also but I gave him a pass.

Oh that Mizzou team that went 12-2, won the East, and went to the Cotton Bowl? Yea, one of those 7 top 20 teams (6 in top 11) that we played that year.

That Vandy team was 9-4 and only won on overturning a spot on review where the SEC officials struck again.

You are FOS.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Seymour playing Greeneville tonight. . . Seymour 5-1, but don't think they're in the same galaxy a Greeneville.

 

[jordan4vols]

Broke my own rules. Got a $50 spot on TN to win outright tomorrow. I think we run away with it.

I’m still mad about that spot against Vandy.

I'm still debating if I should leave at halftime of the South Carolina game
