Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[MoCo_Vol]

I haven’t watched Georgia play, but that dude is in the Heisman discussion. I’m sure he won’t win, but that says a lot even being mentioned as a defensive player. He’s a load, and gonna cause lots of problems for our OL I’m afraid. Im sure there will be lots of time planning this week with what to do for him and the rest of their D to give Hooker time to make some plays.

What a joke if that's true.

Tell me which of these DL is the Heisman one...

Agents of chaos: Games, players and matchups that still could shake things up

College football agents of chaos: Games, players that still could shake up the national title picture


1. Stetson Bennett

There is a constant "Yeah, but ..." cloud following Georgia's starting quarterback everywhere he goes. Stetson Bennett has completed 67% of his passes at 11.1 yards per dropback this season. Among quarterbacks with 100 or more dropbacks, his 89.5 Total QBR ranks second to only that of Oklahoma's Caleb Williams (95.4). In the eight games in which Bennett has seen action, Georgia has gone unbeaten by an average score of 42-7. How on earth could you ask for more than that?
Yeah, but ... he hasn't exactly been asked to do much. He has yet to throw more than 21 passes in a game, and of his 120 passes, only 50 were thrown when UGA was up by less than 14 points. UGA builds early leads with defense and the run game, then Bennett puts the game away with play-action daggers. We know nothing about how he'll perform if Georgia is ever in a steadily close game.

And yeah, but ... we remember last year's Bama and Florida games. Against the two teams capable of putting up huge points on last year's Georgia defense, Bennett had to force the issue a bit, and it went horribly: He was a combined 23-for-56 with three touchdowns and four picks against the Tide and Gators.
Because Georgia has coasted through this season so minimally challenged, it still feels like we don't know everything we need to know about whether Bennett has really broken through this season. This feels like an unfair standard, but it might remain a question until the SEC championship game in Atlanta.
And hell, if Bama's offensive line isn't up to snuff, it could get destroyed by Georgia's front, at which point nothing else might matter. There might not be an offense as good as last year's Bama and Florida offenses this year, so for all we know Bennett will keep right on doing what he's doing, and the Dawgs will be just fine. But in theory, Atlanta might still tell us something.

Dude. Welcome to TN! I'm sort of surprised the sweet old ladies in front didn't fill him full of holes. Several sweet sisters at our church would have been tempted to send that fella to final judgment.

@VFLPastor Be like “not sure if you’re ready to meet Jesus but you fixin to find out”

 

[volbeast33]

There’s a number of VN’ers here in Fort Mill. We’re all gonna sit together at the game. Wear name tags with our VN usernames on them.

You want in?

sure….. I will go

 

[LA Vol]

Season's not over so no one knows where UT is going. Everybody's speculating that UT will finish strong and get a pool of six bowl. We want a good matchup for recruiting, and we'll be a desirable pick for both the FL and in-state bowls. We sell out and pack the stadium, and a high-profile matchup will boost ratings.

 

[volbeast33]

Indiana had their chest puffed out too

So did Wisconsin

I was at the MCB in 16 vs Nebraska, they were mostly cool, just happy to go to a bowl in Nashville. Big Orange Big Red

Halftime of the Iowa game was so awesome…. They thought they were going to spank us

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Gator bowl wants us again, badly. Fyi.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Good

Still rooting for Frost. He needs to make haste

 

[BigSteve09]

Of course they do. We're great for that community. Twice now we have paid for all the seats, the expensive ones too, we buy up all the merch and the food/booze. For the community, we come down and stay for a week at the nicer properties, spend money all over town. Organizers love bowl-eligible Tennessee.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I saw this guy under the Spraggins thread: I don't know who he is but let's hope he's slow and lumbering and that's as fast as he gets.

That’s World Destroyer Hulk. I’m sure Cooper will be fine

 

[Devo182]

Gross. I’m rooting for the bowl in Charlotte. vs Clemson or FSU should they become bowl eligible.

I'd get tix for anything in Charlotte. Fun place to visit. Didn't realize how awake the downtown and area just outside downtown was. Lots of fun.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Dude. Welcome to TN! I'm sort of surprised the sweet old ladies in front didn't fill him full of holes. Several sweet sisters at our church would have been tempted to send that fella to final judgment.

Wow! Hadn’t heard about this.
You wouldn’t believe the number of measures our church has taken to prevent this from happening. Sad times.

 

[LA Vol]

Gator bowl wants us again, badly. Fyi.

They should. Their ratings and attendance #s were among the best in the country last time the Vols played there. A hungry Tennessee fanbase is a cash cow.

 

[VolGee4]

I can believe that the Liberty Bowl has reached out, but all those bowls in Florida love when we are eligible. Music City Bowl would get their say before the Liberty. Depending on where we end up in the East we could even do Chick Fil A, or Charlotte like someone else said.

I don't think there is really a priority list anymore. Citrus gets first pick, and then there is a pool of 6. The conference, schools, and the bowls work together to create the matchups.

In life, any time that there are multiple parties, and money is involved, there is a pecking order.

[VolGee4]

Two ESPN guys are predicting Charlotte. One said Miami, the other said UNC.

Bowl projections and analysis: Fallout for Oregon, Cincy, other close calls?

Holy moly, we could score 60+ on UNC. That total might be over 80. Miami's defense isn't great either.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Rumor in another thread that Tennessee is going to the Liberty Bowl.

Lmao...nope...not when we are going to have a chance to go to a Florida bowl.

 

[SoilVol]

Does Fulky's NIL donation count as a tax deduction? LOL

 

[VolGee4]

In life, any time that there are multiple parties, and money is involved, there is a pecking order.

Yea, but in this case, my belief is that the conference makes the pecking order, not the bowl. That's why I don't always trust it.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I want a Big Ten team. It will be Mizzou/SCar pt3

Give me Clemson

That name still carries weight with recruits. You could sell the mess out of that

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Jordan Davis 6'6" 330lbs is a lotta weight to try and carry around when we're running tempo. Can't wait to see the reply clips when Spraggins or Carvin get a chance to pancake his big slow ass.

That man ain’t 330 no matter what they say

The SEC has a bit more sway than they should. But money is the bottom line... and in bowl season, UT delivers.

 

[BigSteve09]

I know what they say publicly, but the conference and bowls know who travels and who spends money.
