January 2021: program was a couple of steps from dead.

September 2022: Top 15 team.

Remarkable.

It really is. Still not hitting half stride of what I think Heupel can do here.

16th in the Coaches. 15th in the AP.

If you had told me this exactly one year ago after our week 2 loss to Pitt, I would’ve called you delusional. Absolutely astounded to be ranked again. First time in top 15 since 2016

Believe we got as high as #14 in 2020 before the wheels came off.

 

[Dooby15]

I remember when every team wanted Scott Frost.

I’m watching Arkansas/SC on the SEC network. Arkansas is bullying Butch badly.

FYP

Kentucky fans will be insufferable.

Glad I don’t know any.

All those 5 star freshmen be like…

But did you see the upsets yesterday? College football is an emotional game that is hard to sustain. After an emotional win or loss, it is hard to get to that intensity for the next game.

Which is what I'm really glad we have Akron next and a bye before LSU

After thinking about yesterday’s game, here are some things to think about:
1. Cooper Mayes is a small center, but he really struggled yesterday. Do you consider moving Carvin to center?
2. I think we have yet to see the best of Hooker. He seems to have lost a step in speed, but it may just be that he is hesitant to run. I suspect that the throw to Tillman in OT will go a long way in confidence for Hooker.
3. We need more Sampson. I like Wright, but you cannot fumble. Sampson has a gear that none of our other backs has.
4. More Squirrel. Squirrel White has elite speed and needs touches. Punt return, kick return, screens, reverses, get him the ball in space.
5. I did not see Christian Charles. Is he injured?

This is hilarious. They should just do all of the Stoops era not these cherry picked 5-8 year marks

Just call it 3 of 36 and be done.

Wonder how much longer til Matt Rhule comes back to college football. Not really working out in the NFL.

 

[Ace]

Lance leipold would do great there. Love him as a coach and developer

Not sure he would leave Kansas for Big 10. Less competition in Big 12. He could be a legend at Kansas.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Stoops wouldn’t go to Nebraska

That would be such a bad move if he did.

 

[jakez4ut]

I think he's gonna get tired of seeing his best teams get absolutely dragged by the likes of Georgia every year. Playoffs are still a virtual impossibility there.

Not anymore. 12 is attainable at UK

 

[ACvol3]

That would be an irrational fear.

I’d be more nervous about Golesh

 

[Dudley Smith]

That's the name I immediately thought of when I saw Scott Frost was fired

 

[VOLSONLY]

Not anymore. 12 is attainable at UK

Has it been decided when we go to a 12 team playoff

 

[jpope9]

Kentucky fans will be insufferable.

Eh they shouldn’t. They always beat Florida lately. They can’t beat us in anything

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

Well, no Frost is good for the crops.

For me, I like CORN

No. It is not. The Panthers suck.

 

[Vol464]

Skipped Dooley?

 

[Ace]

Atlanta’s Smith has plugged CP in at RB. Volnation had that idea 10 years ago.
I do not understand why college coaches do not put fast receivers at tailback and run sweeps. Maybe not every play, but as change up and possibly break a long run.

 

[jakez4ut]

Whenever the current contract is up...2025 ? 26?

 

[Pridedad]

Crep. White again. No matter where my tickets are...white.

White for me

 

[Orange_Crush]

In no way did I suggest benching our QB, I simply said we should give Milton a chance to go out and see what he can do... LOL...

At tight end? Or at QB? (Which would be benching Hooker.)

 

[IhateGA]

Patterson is a beast for the Falcons.
