.TFL, Total tackles, qb pressures and turnovers created are all within 3% of each other. The difference is you have an extremely athletic qb in Florida and a 1 legged qb in the 2nd half for Pitt.

Much different gameplan for the two. You tend to play the 30-30 a bit more bend don’t break when knowing your defense has weaknesses. You play more aggressive from the 30’s in. It’s exactly what their gameplan was.

The effort, willingness and desire is 100% there for players on defense, unfortunately the collective talent isn’t. Recruiting fixes it.

I agree

Great program win for sure. Gotta clean the defense up. 7/15 on 3rd down defense and 5/6 on 4th down isn’t ideal. Bama and Georgia won’t have any problem going for it that many times on 4th. Lsu might even. Heupel’s offense was tremendous though as usual

Anybody else notice who the first guy down the field on a kickoff is? It's almost always Pearce - all 242 lbs of him. Also, Josephs is a player that does something every time he gets in. Our edge rushers are going to be scary good next year.

Truth

I thought LSU’s roster was wiped out and they barely had half the scholarship numbers

That just means they are twice as talented as Tennessee rather than being exponentially more talented.

Rumor mill is they have been wining and dining Mehlen.

Lolol

We really missed Burrell yesterday. I know he gets roasted by Vol fans, but last year he got picked on because teams avoided A. Taylor. When Burrell gets beat, it is most often because the other team made a great throw and catch. Very rarely is he beat by a wide margin. Yesterday, there were Florida receivers just wide open with no one near. I believe Burrell would have made at least a play or two that could have helped stop a Florida drive.

He’s not good. He got picked on our first two games as well. No improvement time to just move on and see what your younger guys have

$10 on that should payout Bezos money.

I’ll split it with you.

Got to Florida yesterday and that big win along with my son landing his biggest red at 26" got vacation started off right. Going to keep fishing until this hurricane makes us leave.View attachment 494478

I wouldnt worry much about Florida hurricanes. . .

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I just don’t think the defense, particularly the secondary, has the guys yet. Not sure it’s an X’s and O’s thing so much as a talent thing. The team as a whole isn’t THERE yet as in elite, but I don’t think anyone can doubt the direction right now. Heupel and co. have impressed mightily.

I agree.

 

[Volnut]

If Heupel stays here for ten years or more…. I feel the next three to four QBs that we have will put up similar stats…. This system is that good.

It amazes me in an era when receivers are blanketed by DBs, that Huepel is able to scheme receivers WIDE OPEN so often.

 

[Ace]

You're literally never satisfied with anything.

Why argue with this troll? He has be trolling this board from years. I thought everyone had him on ignore. The moment I saw everyone arguing, I knew he was behind it.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

You are probably right, but I was having disturbing visions last night while watching the game of BY, SB4 and Levis shredding us like that...with a real defense on their side unlike AR15.

I’m with you except for Levis. That dude sucks

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

This would be ideal for us. Mullen is not a good enough recruiter to cause us issues but a good enough developer/game day coach to be a pain in UGA and Clemson butts.

Meh..

GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!!

I ventured into the FF game thread. Oh. My.

They are so miserable over there. Will not make that mistake ever again.

And why in the he!! did you think that was a wise move on your part? I have the disappoint on your part.

What kind of snake is this? More importantly, is it poisonous?

Check its eyes for hoods, check lower jaw for vertical stripes, and check its anal plates. Therein lies the answer you seek.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Devo's post is in response to me responding to him saying Heath Shuler isn't in the same realm of Hendon Hooker. Thoughts?

Heath would destroy CFB in this system...Hooker is doing a jam up job of that too.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Not sure I'd put TN 2nd...hard to put us ahead of Georgia or Bama until we beat one of them. I'd say 3rd I don't think Kentucky has proven much, they seem to always have an ability to beat Florida and it was so early in the season for a new HC and starting QB. Some very good games this Saturday though that'll help figure more things out.

7 Kentucky @ 14 Ole Miss
2 Alabama @ 20 Arkansas
17 A&M @ Miss State
LSU @ Auburn

This is worth the read and hell of a win boys sorry ain't been around yet.Sucks a family member who's been sick with cancer and other health concerns passed away yesterday afternoon.He absoutely loved UT football and has had season tickets for eons.

Well since he's been sick he hasn't been able to go.So yesterday morning asks grand daughter if she wanted to go take her 2 brothers.Why ocourse they do and they freaking had a blast.They grabbed a few souvenirs for papa n pictures qnd headed home.Called n called n no answer finally get home and go inside.Hes layed in his bed with the game on TV and no pulse.
Lord knows them kids need all the prayers they can get and football is the most unimportant thing right now.

Heres the part makes u glad to be a Vol in a gloomy unimportant moment.Man there zo lucky they had cameras n the room just to observe him.That man passed away exactly 7 minutes and 22 seconds after the final whistle.He never moved the whole game.With that final whistle blow he raised his arm maybe 30°.Hey I'm a tuff dude n I cried watching it with them.Its been very tuff but I really really don't think people understand just how big sports impact people's lifes.I know i personally have leaned on ppl here n a dark spot in my life.

We're 118th in the country in opponent passing YPG . We were awful last year as well. Do you think the talent is that putrid?

In the secondary? I think it’s pretty bad.

 

[volKano]

They scored 12

Because of fumbles. Had nothing to do with him.

I'll have to pass - was asking for a friend, but we're not THAT close!

 

[Ace]

What has happened to Dashawn Rucker? Has he played any this year?...Its possible i have overlooked him

He played at CB for a few series in 2nd half
