'25 Recruiting Forum: Official Tennessee versus Kentucky Pre-game/Game Thread

[GVol1966]

Nope, see last year's defense. We are an interior d lineman, a safety and a corner away from being top 3rd of league defensively.

Couple that with our offense and that's the deciding factor in 95% of our games

I saw it . Get shredded by UGA and Ohio st.
I see it this year too. No way are we this pathetic with a good DC. I know we have weaknesses and players out but this is ridiculous. We’ve got more talent on the field than we show.

Last play we blitz one side leaving the middle wide open so Boley can easily see to throw

Just let the damn DLine do work
Every time we blitz we seem to get smoked
We’re better off being basic banks

 

[Ten_Titans]

It's gonna be an interesting tone in the post game presser. Do we get angry Heupel after a blowout win?

For us to win 10 games, our offense will have to play like this three more times. Or the defense will have to play out of their minds (average by league standards). Wonder if he's gonna show he feels that.

Across the middle again. We literally never have anyone defending it.

LBs are constantly lost in pass D

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Joey really is the best deep ball passer in league.

Now if he could just learn how to hit the rb swing.

He has hit it several times and they don’t catch. Hands like feet most of the time.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Damn that Kentucky player got rag dolled on that hit and punched the planet earth

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

You mean Telander

Welp, I'll bite on the bait. This is a boring game so allow me. Remember, you asked for this. I don't think there's any data to support that idea.

2021, a bunch of young guys and less than athletic upperclassmen: scoring defense: 107th

2022, more young guys grow up after getting experience: scoring defense 37th

2023, guys who have multiple years under the system are all over the field: 23th

2024, mostly everyone who is starting is a multi-year starter: 7th

2025: a bunch of young and less than athletic upperclassmen....

The 6 players drafted from that group would probably beg to defer that Banks and the coaching staff made them play like 2 stars. Byron Young would be a manager at Dollar General if it weren't for our coaches. Now he's the NFL leader in sacks.

This was always a rebuilding year. We were all singing Banks's praises last year. Relax

Talk like that will get you shaved off

 

[Orangeburst]

I'd live to go. Should be a good game.

we hope you live anyways!

He could still teach them to stick to their spot on zone d (if you can’t execute your job you don’t play) and make solid tackles when the players right in front of you.

We are about to give up 30+ points in a game for the 5th time this year.

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

This offense is unreal when it is clicking, can’t be stopped

 

[nashvol1]

You mean Telander

All of them, Carter is sometimes there

 

[engineerVOL]

Punched planet earth

We have young talent, that is getting exposed.

 

[De La Cloobs]

So are we getting back any injured players in the secondary any time soon? Mcoy?

 

[Orangeburst]

Joey is so mature

 

[Jackcrevol]

I’ll disagree. He’s average at best.

I liked this but want to unlike

Always has been you just need a qb who can hit the deep ball

Nope
