This offense is special

[AdoptedVOL]

This may be the best all-around offense I’ve seen since the VOLS adopted me in 1993.

• Aguilar should be in the Heisman conversation
• The line is protecting Joey and making holes
• Running back crew is quick, run with power, deep
• One of the best skilled group of receivers running routes and making big plays
• Great use of tight ends

Go ahead… fire away!

‘93? Feels like ‘98.

 

[Grudenator]

they are good. Lets not ignore the fact though that Arkansas defense is atrocious

 

[SentinelVol]

Yea.. the best offense we’ve had in three years. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Aguilar will be in the early Heistman race if he walks out of Saban field with a dub.

 

[SNAFU]

Frustrating when penalties and dropped, very catchable passes slam the brakes on drives. The personal foul and Kitselman’s drop on the series just after halftime are prime examples.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Only thing that ever stopped our offense today was us. GBO

Tough catch to be fair. Especially from the tight end. Also wasn't a first down even if caught.

Joey has been awesome. WRs have stepped it up from last year two. Backs and OL have been consistent as well.

Wonder if any of em can play both ways?

Today Arkansas played probably their best defensive game of the year except maybe for the Mississippi game.

Anyone questioning this offense needs to remember something - today was the first time this season we didn’t score 40+

And Brazzell was uncharacteristically quiet.

 

[GetEmVols]

Sorry but this is the worst defense Heupel has had here. 2022 defense was better for sure. Offense seems pretty good but we will definitely drop a game soon if we don’t get Jermod back soon.

Against the worst defense in the SEC...while playing at home...with short field given by the defense causing turn overs. The offense was only adequate to day.

I recall 2 passes that were dropped today (one a touchdown, the other a 1st down in FG range)… I’m thinking at least one other. Not their best game. As a season though, receivers have been great.

Vols were thinking about Bama next week and overlooked Hogs.

Understandable.

Understandable.

We always look bad under CJH after a bye week. Maybe all teams struggle with it . . .

Yup Matthews dropped a probable TD. Kits dropped a back shoulder TD. And I believe Staley dropped the first down pass.

WRs really need to pick it up. They have a QB that will get them the ball. Not running on a route is inexcusable to me.

OL has gotta get more disciplined. Too many presnap penalties.

Certainly were a couple dimes thrown by Joey for big gains and perhaps scores that receivers backed off their route and didn’t get under.

The offense was not that good in 98.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Good not great definitely not special. We left a lot of points on the field vs a weak defense.

 

[Volsbattle]

Thing is that we have only played one ranked team and got beat. Had to survive to beat Ms state. If ark hadn't had the turnovers we would have lost that game. We can't average getting 30pts scored against us to make it to the playoffs and get past the first game. We will know sat how we stack up against a great defense and a great offense. If we get smoked bad, all we can hope for is a good bowl game. Oklahoma and Vandy are defensive minded teams also. It starts sat. Simpson is balling right now. Ala secondary is also playing tight coverage.

Defense on this team is an issue… but out of scope for this thread. My position is I consider the VOL OFFENSE the most COMPLETE (combined QB, RBs, WRs TE, line) since I started watching in 1993.
