Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I usually don’t get that worked up over games, but this one really stressed me out for some reason.
I turned volume off for entire game. Made me a Lil less nervous. Oh, and still not quite over thr ridiculous penalty on the long td throw.
 
I’m still frustrated with the end of regulation and the overall execution of the game. But rewind the clock Post 2001 and Pre Heupel, we don’t win these types of games. And looking back two weeks ago, UGA, the far better team athletically, had to go to OT to snatch a win from us. Good teams play 💩 games and still find ways to win. We’re not fully back, but damn we’re only a few steps from the top. Go Vols!!
Post 2001? Vs a 4-0 SEC team with a top-10 win already in their pocket? Averaging 40 PPG? On the road?

We flop around for 2.5 quarters and lose by 3-4 TDs.
 
Couple of quick thoughts:

Got out of the game relatively healthy.

So glad Carter played. He dominated. Rest up.

Need to work on our run schemes during the bye week. Perfect timing.

Road wins are hard. Had a lot going against us and found a way to win a game we didnt deserve to win. You need one of those every year. It’s better than losing.

Kiffin is a monster. You can’t convince me he didn’t pimp out his daughter for the W
 
Carter had 17 tackles and the game winning PBU. He deserves all the praise tonight
One of the best performances by a defensive player on that side of the ball since EB.

Spillman is the guy.

Sanders will be special. His god given is better than everyone, he just doesn’t know the playbook.

Turrentine should never play another down on defense.

Inexcusable use of timeouts and clock management at the end of the game.

A wins a win, move on and get healthier.
 
Beating State like that in OT reminded me of the way Georgia beat us.

Also why haven't we seen more of Bishop lately? I honestly think this 3 man rotation is hurting us at RB. If you take away Bishop's long TD run he's still nearly 2ypc better than Star on the same amount of carries.

We have seen Bishop lately

Just got back from a memorial service for my wife's aunt who passed away a few weeks ago, such an awesome woman she was, wife really loved her dearly.

Saw the score.........glad we got us a good road win. I got to know though, how many times you morans fahr banks?
Thousands of times, starting from about 3 mins into the 1st qtr.

*sorry about your loss
 
Strange to see how many sacks we had and yet our run defense just wasn’t there. Glad we had Moi back.
Our DEs had really good games. A good portion of the game, we had our LBs lined up outside the tackles and no one in the middle. All the RB had to do was get past our DL.
 
Cowbell bumpkins
Pooping pumpkins
Refs still cheating
Lebby bleating
Lightning Colton
Bishop boltin'
Tyre thumping
More chest bumping
Joseph flyin'
Vols kept tryin'
Brazzle dazzled
State was frazzled
Joey leading
Sadness fleeting
Defense stayed stout
Never in doubt
Playoff chatter
It don’t matter
Tough and gritty
Vols by fiddy
 
I said after the UGA loss that it would propel the team to a win they wouldn't otherwise get. Think that may have just happened.

Heup committed a bit of coaching malpractice at the end but didn't get punished for it. But I'll give him all the credit for weathering the storm on the road in a game when everything went against us.
