If Hooker can continue to work on getting some of his passes down/in check, feel pressure just a bit more, he is gonna be even more amazing than he already is the second half of the schedule. Shout out to the O line that needs some praise...

Let’s just take one game at a time. Next step… Beat LSU!

Beat bye week*

 

[volinbama256]

It will be more like Pitt than Florida.
Florida can’t get to the qb but also protects extremely well. LSU can’t protect the qb but can definitely disrupt HH. Both TN and LSU are fully capable of putting up 40 and causing enough problems to limit the other team to < 40. We’ll need Byron Young, Omari, and Tyler Baron to a great day. I expect it to be another game where the defense will be the story if we win.

The saving grace for us is I hope LSU doesn't pay attention to FL going for it every time on 4th... most teams won't do this and will punt... we need them to take this approach and we may have a chance...

Would love to go dark mode at Death Valley, at night. . .
Probably an easier game @ noon, but the fan experience of an LSU night game is incredible.

The smell of corndogs is much more pungent at night

That’s hilarious for Kentucky to stay in front of us! I remember in 2016 being ranked high and dropping numerous spots for winning but looking lackluster. Kentucky wins and looks lackluster, and they continue to move up. Makes zero sense to me. Whatever! We will continue to do our talking on the field!

Ole Miss rolls them and switches places imo.

But we’re not gonna be that with our personnel in the secondary. Our offensive philosophy already puts pressure on our defense. For now we need them to make the 1 extra play or stop.

I agree our secondary is holding us back. Not sure if it's the personnel or the coaching. But there's no reason we shouldn't strive to be great on both sides of the ball.

LSU won’t be able to replicate that 4th down success because they can’t protect the qb when facing a good pass rush. Even if they try, Florida could have easily (prematurely) handed us the game if they had an unlucky drop etc on some of those.

LMFAO--- the D line yes, the rest, NO.

agree to disagree I suppose?

Personally, I think we smoke LSU.

I thought we'd smoke Florida, too, and we should have...if only we had a secondary with a hint of a pulse.

Again, I'm totally satisfied with the rest of the defense. Omari Thomas is a beast, and Da'Jon Terry, from what I could tell, balled out yesterday. D line has played extremely well so far. Pass rush is causing all kinds of havoc.

Bru stepped into the #1 receiver role quite well imo. I was really impressed with that and look forward to him being the #1 receiver next year.

Hope someone teaches Hadden how to tackle in the bye week... One play he had a chance to tackle the WR twice in the same play, had both hands on him both times, and couldn't do it, as the WR was on his way to score a TD... A D-1, Power 5 scholarship player should make a tackle, especially if he has 2 chances in one play.

We got Waffle House fight arenas. They got Chuck E Cheese.

Four taken into custody after fight, shooting at Florida Chuck E. Cheese

I appreciate Flowers and everything but early in the game they called him “One of the great safeties in all of college football”

Shows how out of touch they are.

The real rankings:

Georgia at 4 is insane. Penn state at 3 is equally insane.

The 1st and 5 wasn't really an advantage after the 1st onside kick. The mindset that we could grind out these yards with a short game played against our strength. What could have been if the Vols had struck and captured an 18 point lead.

Physicality .... It grinded on my nerves after Butch said it a million times.

Gator fans are in for a treat.

He will most likely enter the NFL draft after this season. Especially if he continues to improve.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Decent chance the Vols move up a couple spots after the bye week. Michigan @ Iowa, UK @ Ole Miss, Bama @ Ark, NCSU @ Clemson.

I think the most likely losses are Clemson & UK.

Cut was a great fundamentals and developmental mind…never a superior playcaller imo. Spurrier and Richt always better.

I don’t know if spurrier was an amazing play caller as he was innovative offense…. Teams eventually caught up to his system which is why his offensive output slowed down quite a bit….that’s been my point…. I think Hooker is a good qb taken to elite status bc of the system we run.
