Recruiting Football Talk VII

[TheMookieMonster]

Well at least he's honest. This team is tracking in the right direction.....showed up for 1 quarter vs UF, showed up for 1 half vs bama, maybe we'll show up for the full game vs KY. This team has a hard time on the road.

That feels like putting it modestly. The LSU game feels like an outlier at this point. Our last 4 SEC road games have been complete eggs. Concerning some for the long-term future.

Watch what you say to some People Josh calls the plays but I’ve been saying this for weeks.

He does and he's admitted it.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Josh will have to do some soul-searching this week. Kentucky will be rested. We better come out and kick their ass for FOUR quarters.

We haven’t kicked anyone’s ass for 4 quarters all year. Prepare yourself for another nail-biter.

 

[butchna]

You watch an entire game and you find Milton using his wheels, football smarts and ungodly arm…but never all at once.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I hate to say it but I’m fairly certain 2022 was the peak for Josh Heupel and Tennessee and I doubt we ever have a season that matches that.

 

[SpringBokVol]

You could see we didn’t come out to play the second half at all.

I don’t know how that’s possible.

It’s a rivalry game on the road. How do you not compete for 60 minutes.

Really pathetic to play not to lose. Wish we had a better killer instinct and played to win and even played to dominate.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Most scrutinized QB at UT. He played fine.

I’ll continue to disagree. You can’t make 4 redzone trips as QB and only come out with 9 points you just can’t.

Should have brought more than just 4 on that play. Milroe folds when you blitz. Can't believe we didn't do it more often. We got good results every time we brought more than 4.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Dude get real

lol you go be a wide open WR in the redzone with Milton completely throwing it where it’s uncatchable, every week and get back to me.

That’s a sack without the hold. It’s also not a touchdown if you call the hold.

aww, he just wanted a hug.. Nothing to see here: View attachment 589410

I’m surprised they didn’t get a bonus 15 yards for giving a hug/spreading love.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I wish we could release a compilation of non calls and just stir up attention.

It has to change.

It’s ruining the game.

 

[butchna]

Well whoever called the plays sucked. Golesh sucked at UGA but the defense lost SC

There were offensive plays to be made to keep the pressure on Rattler. Team went more conservative…like the Vols in the second half today, and first half in Florida. Common denominator? Heupel is the playcaller.

No way Josh os calling these plays all year. If so he has lost his touch

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Good first half, Joe responded well to his bad game against A&M. Just couldn’t get the running game going today for the RBs.

Defense fading in the 2nd half was unexpected.

Like Heupel no comment on officiating, it’s not going to improve or change anytime soon.

 

[turdherder11]

That’s a sack without the hold. It’s also not a touchdown if you call the hold.

You should know you're not gonna get the call in Tuscaloosa. You've seen this script enough. Until the SEC is held accountable for this kind of officiating things won't change.

 

[drylo]

Gotta beat Kentucky and Mizzou. Must. Get to 9-3 and keep our trajectory going. And f*** Alabama and the Birmingham office!!

9-3? You have us losing to Vandy or UConn?

 

[tnvols72]

I am not buying that Heuple is calling plays. Is there a video saying this or something or is this just a guess? If he is calling the plays then he is sucking at his job. This is just not 1 game.

Reading that quote was just frustrating as hell. I can excuse poor play sometimes but I can’t ever excuse lack of effort. It’s Alabama and we had players admitting that they basically gave up and thought it was over. Heupel’s inability to motivate his team to play on the road for 4 full quarters consistently is just….I don’t know. Frustrating. I’m still hot from the loss, but in the heat of the moment there are just a lot of things to question after that collapse.

milton cost us a 1st down and a td tonite.

* should have stretched out
* missed open castles in end zone

 

[Rishvol]

No point in talking officiating. The SEC/crew did exactly what we knew they would. Anybody who watched it objectively saw the fix was in. It is the SEC, it's what they do.

The only way you occasionally win these games is to be much better and much smarter as players and coaches. We are not in either case.

This is exactly why we need to keep talking about officiating. It happens because fans like you and others bootlick for the the refs. With loud voices especially in the administration this will never change and we have to deal with crap like Tennessee vs bama

He's said last year when asked about Golesh. That they collaborate.

same thing last week
