Night game....BS everybody on both teams have played at night and to think CJH offense has trouble should go back and look at what his offense did to the Tide when he was at Oklahoma. Maybe Hooker had a vision problem at night but nobody wants to consider that.....it happens.

It doesn’t matter what he did at OK man. He wasn’t leading the program.

As of right now yes, Heupel’s program has struggled (compared to day games) at night on the road. As a HC, he is now responsible for getting all players, not just offense, prepared. Now Vandy might not be the most electric environment but night road games in the SEC aren’t easy to win.

I do wonder if our early practice time throws a wrench into the works when we play at night. Our earlier games we showed up ready to play but the only night game we played well so far was Kentucky

Could be but some people have dept perception problems at night, everything looks different under the lights to some people.

If you look back at when he was hired that was one of his hang ups according to some that he concentrated on Offense and not the D side of the ball, maybe this will change now, we will see.

What are they protesting? King Chuck?

They do this as a “Say No To Racism” statement before their games. In the Euros last summer, England lost in a shootout and the 3 players that missed their shots were all black and received a lot of racist abuse from it.

Are you talking about Hooker? Hooker hasn’t had as many problems on the road at night as the team has overall. And he’s looked like a Heisman worthy player at night at home. It’s not a HH issue.

USA outplayed England most of that first half. England really only dictated the play for the first 10ish min. England should dictate the play for most of the game, they are really good, but US never looked out of their depth and actually had the better chances throughout that half. That was impressive from the US. Just need to find the back of the net!

Agreed, they picked it up a good bit since my original comment.

 

[NighthawkVol]

True. But if you’re going to struggle to make an nfl roster, might as well enjoy college

The injury risk is too great, as we saw. I have to think there was a reason he thought his stock would go up if he came back. Maybe he just thought having 2 years of good production instead of one would boost him. I’m guessing Hyatt noticed how that backfired and will take it Into consideration.

Anyone seen the over/under on how many female soccer players Andy trots out there Saturday?

I just suggested that he "may" have a dept perception problem at night nobody knows but I, have never seen, watched, heard of or played on any team that was designed to only play during the day. Practice schedules and travel routines may have something to do with it, pressure may have more to do with it than anything but I nor you have attend any team meetings or checked any game plans so I guess we will just have to wait and see what product they put on the field tomorrow.

We have played well in one and bad in one that we should have won/been competitive in….. people are overreacting to night games, imo.

What’s the road night game we played good in?

 

[Mr305Vol]

You know he only joined VN because he thought football meant soccer. The rest of the world is stupid. Soccer is soccer! Stop trying to call it football!

 

[NoogaVol96]

SIAP but has anyone seen or heard similar? Obviously could be nada.

Kentucky but one could argue we played poorly in that one as well…. Just getting the win was good enough last year through.

opting out of regular season games? Huh

 

[OrangenSC]

Seems ominous...it is going to null our one big advantage.

I'm not so sure. Our pass defense is worse than our run defense. If the weather is rainy and windy they won't be able to take advantage of that.

With a new QB we may have to depend more on our running game anyway, especially if Ced and Bru are out.

 

[UTSuave’]

Agreed. Just at least get the draw today and we’re in fantastic shape.

I was about to ask you what you thought of todays game..apparently holding England to zero goals this long was a W

 

[drvenner]

Great effort for USMNT today. A draw with England is a great result.

 

[Rishvol]

Good match need to win Tuesday
