Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

You know something or just a prediction?

I'm Colton Hood. My leg fell off.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Defense may not look better Saturday night, just be prepared for it.

What I think happened at Kentucky and is likely the plan moving forward is "keep scoring and make their offense have to pass"

We make teams 1 dimensional where the DL can focus on pass rushing and we'll see a lot more sacks/turnovers. May still have 30+ and 400 yards hung on us, but no one cares if you're winning 56-34.

At this point the only other SEC team we haven't faced already that is good enough on both sides of the ball to challenge that philosophy is Texas A&M and we won't see them unless some crazy ish happens and we meet in Atlanta.

that should be the plan

 

[jordan4vols]

I don’t think OU’s defense is that good and more of a who they played situation. That said……the game worries me especially if Hood is out.

[Enki_Amenra]

that should be the plan

I can't wait til we get a 24-14 lead, then decide to protect the lead and drain the clock in the 3rd quarter. . .

They've given up 300 yards twice all season.

302 to Texas
431 to Ole Miss

They've only given up 20 points twice, 23 to Texas and 34 to Ole Miss... lost both games

Ole Miss is the best offense they've faced all year, and we're statistically a lot better than them.

 

[rikberry31]

Everyone worried about OU but they beat a Michigan team that can’t score and played a night game at home.

And it took major cheating to beat Auburn at home. They should have three losses right now. And got dominated by Texas who can’t score either.

We run a similar scheme to Ole Miss with a. Better QB and they couldn’t stop ole miss at home. Good luck with Neyland at night

Football and all sports really are about matchups. Frankly this is bad matchup for Pony Cart U. It will be a shootout and on the road, not good for them, better try to convince Baker Mayfield or Heup to play qb.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Y’all remember when South Carolina was about to hire Kirby and then Georgia fired Richt and took him? This is what LSU just did to Florida. This offseason is so crazy I wonder if Texas will now do it to LSU.

 

[rikberry31]

LSU or Penn State or he stays, I don’t see him going to Florida.

My hope is Penn State, I’d love to see him stick it to those Buckeye f*cks.

It's FU for sure then.

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

We have one of the worst defenses in CFB, and that is not negaVol hyperbole, it is a quantifiable FACT...also a FACT, the worst offense in the SEC just hung 34 and 500 on us.

We can win the game, I agree...but I don't think it's the likely outcome with this defense.

Get ready for us to make Pavia, Lagway and Mateer look like Heisman winners and their recievers and RBs look unguardable and unstoppable.

That's fine. So has every other QB this year. But guess what, Joey and this offense is going to look better and score more points than all three. The defense is what it is. Quit your handwringing and realize we are a better TEAM than all three. Good teams find ways to win, and they make up the difference when one unit struggles. Hell the defense saved the game against Mississippi State when the offense was struggling.

When we beat all three, I want a written acknowledgement by all of you Negavols who are saying there's no chance we can stop any of them. I can't wait to see the mental gymnastics when we beat them all.

"But... but.... the defense let them score 35."
Yeah well, we scored 42.
A win is a win.

Which was my point. Texas is probably the second best offense they’ve played.

 

[85SugarVol]

LA pretty much told us this.

Now I really must know.

What did it say? The post is gone now.

@JacketVol ?

Not to mention the fact that Mateer has played like dog sh!T since they rushed him back from surgery. 200 yards and less than one touchdown per game

That Texas offense that scored.... 16 points on Kentucky in overtime. lol.

Sometimes people reply to you to agree with more information, this was one of those times.

 

[NMVol]

A Monday post-game reflection: that Vol's offensive output Saturday evening was something to behold.

 

[Garren04]

If we can score around the same amount Ole Miss did we should win. We might need one more TD but

 

[Jackcrevol]

he will have special healers brought in for this one game. trust me. also, their defense will play out of its mind.

 

[UTSuave’]

They are just a better all around team than us...if our defense was at least just average and not the worst in the SEC I would feel differently. We could very well lose all three of these games just because our defense is pure

It is really disheartening to watch this going on...I don't for the life of me understand how they can be THIS putrid...but they are.

Everyone has their runs Mcgill which will make the win even sweeter…we’ve been hard on Clark Lea since he took over but I’ll be the first to say he’s done a incredible job bringing them back from where they were..he’s done a better job than Franklin in my opinion..kids have bought in and trusted the process. it’s a beautiful thing to watch that we can relate to over the last 10 gruesome years…just takes time but he’s earned it.he has my respects….with that being said vawls by FIDDY!!
