Can we hold bama to under 30 points?

If yes, we win.

We need to lead early and force Ty to drop back and we will rattle him.

 

[headhunter15]

Anyone think Penn St. may run Franklin off after this season and he finds his way back to the SEC?

 

[Weezer]

Crap. How has this not happened at Neyland?

It has. I can't remember who, but pretty sure we had a WR hit the wall several seasons back.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Arch a bust? Or too soon?

It's really hard to say IMO. Is it coaching? Has he just not been developed? I can't imagine how different it would look if that were the case. Was he always overrated due to his name? I think that's very likely. I mean he didn't even camp. All analysts had to go on was game film against scrubs.

Not sure how I feel about Penn State losing to Nico. A side of me wants James Franklin to crash and burn, but I also want Nico to suffer.

It almost certainly knocks Penn St out of the playoff picture so I’m good with it

I worry Simpson will torch us. I’m hoping getting healthy on D will help us

Crap. How has this not happened at Neyland?

"On October 22, 2022, during a game against UT Martin at Neyland Stadium, Tennessee Volunteers defensive back Brandon Turnage (listed as a safety/cornerback) suffered a head injury in the first quarter. While covering a pass in the end zone, he collided with a padded brick wall behind it and did not return to the game. SEC Network reported it as a minor injury, and Tennessee coach Josh Heupel confirmed he was out for the rest of the 65-24 win but expected to recover without long-term issue" grok

Franklin has a big buyout. Nearly 60 million. I think people overestimate how easy it is to buy coaches out of huge guaranteed contracts because A&M went stupid and bought out Jimbo.

4th and a football, and you go shotgun..... Coaches are stupid

 

[SpringBokVol]

UCLA is going to have to win this.

It’s not won yet.

They will have a chance to make a first down and win. Will they???

Wow. Boy was I right.

 

[crawdaddyjc]

and nico short arms the pass on 3rd down. and on 4th gets sacked.

It was said on here time and time again. all the hype was because of his name. He really was probably more of a low 4-star type prospect.

i hate hate hate this. does not make sense at all.

 

[Aesius]

UCLA mighta just blew it

 

[Vol423]

Penn State with the ball with 2 minutes left down 7 points.

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

WTF UCLA

Maybe this is what I was thinking of. I knew someone had hit the wall.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Penn state has to lose this game. A close win won’t hurt them.

 

[VolsLFC]

That throw by Nico on 3rd down was doodoo

 

[MarcoVol]

You still questioning?

If Pavia doesn’t make that bad decision could be a different game!

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Under center QB sneak is so easy.

No need to make a play like that complicated.

 

[RandomUTfan]

4th and a football, and you go shotgun..... Coaches are stupid

Have you ever looked up the statistics on short-yardage plays under center vs. shotgun? Looks like you'd be surprised.

 

[Vol423]

and nico short arms the pass on 3rd down. and on 4th gets sacked.

Correct on 3rd down. 4th down was a designed QB run, not a sack.

 

[SpringBokVol]

That throw by Nico on 3rd down was doodoo

I wouldn’t put that on him. That’s on the RB for me.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

He's already suffered really bad publicity and plays on a terrible team. The stuff we wanted proven out from his transfer has already happened, so we've been vindicated. Time for us to move on. UCLA beating PSU would be good for us, so hopefully they manage to hold on (despite that dumb QB run call on 4th down).
