Recruiting Forum: Football Talk

[Tha Don]

As with previous weeks, our biggest obstacles will be stopping the running game and covering the slot wr/te (any matchup essentially where our S/LBs are forced to cover). Teams outside recievers have virtually been ineffective against us.

If we can cover Kenny Bell and Volger, I think we'll be 'ok'. And, yes, I know Cooper is thought to be their big play WR but see my point above.

Could landing commits from Derek Green and Marquez North over the next month or so help Dooley keep his job?

Could be a big selling point.

McCullers, Sentimore, and Couch have to be big for us this weekend. We know Sentimore is going to schow up.

Our LBs are going to have to make plays. Their RBs are good enough to get past the line. This is probably the biggest game for our LBs if we expect to win.

I say stack the box and make AJ and a couple of their young wideouts beat us. AJ, like Bray, isn't nearly as efficient when he's on the move.

If we can somehow force him to his left, we're cooking with Crisco.

Yes

I'll never post in the recruiting forum again if he's kept.

Nice..

SEC is releasing the 2013 Conference football schedule at 3pm ET today.

SEC Sports ‏@SECSportsUpdate
BREAKING: The #SEC will release the 2013 conference-only football schedule today at 2 pm CT at Official Site of the Southeastern Conference

Does everyone expect that Miss St will be visiting Knoxville next fall or do we get someone else?

If we still have an 8-game conference schedule, we likely will have a new SEC West opponent for the non-permanent game.

AJ is a very efficient passer. We can't simply bank on him being the weak link. I agree, we will have to stack the box most of the game. Bama's TEs could really hurt us in the pass game because we have yet to have an LB that can match one.

Rumor that Tennessee will get Auburn next year instead of Mississippi State.

Vols should pull for Chizik to stay one more year! Sure win for UT.

 

[OCIVol]

Rumor that Tennessee will get Auburn next year instead of Mississippi State.

With 6 division games and 1 permanent cross-division opponent, the SEC will no longer have home-and-away games between cross-division opponents in consecutive years. Instead, teams will get a home game in year 1, then away game in year 2, etc...but it will be against a different cross-division opponent.

 

[SigNu_VolFan]

Sitting here next Hubber and he's saying there's chatter out there that when the SEC releases its 2013 schedule Tennessee may have Auburn on the schedule instead of Mississippi State. We'll find out at 3 p.m.

I believe our SEC West opponents will be as follows:

2012 - Bama, @ MSU
2013 - @ Bama, Auburn
2014 - Bama, @ Texas A&M
2015 - @ Bama, Mississippi
2016 - Bama, @ LSU
2017 - @ Bama, Arkansas

 

[LynxVol]

Beat Bama.

2016 - Bama, @ LSU
2017 - @ Bama, Arkansas

Are we your homecoming game next year?

 

[orangeB]

Beat Bama.

Rajion Neal practiced some today. He was still a little slow.

SEC moving to 9 conference games is always a possibility though. If it doesn't I can see the above being about right. At least hope to see the Vols in TX in a couple yrs

A 9-game conference schedule changes everything. If we stay with an 8-game conference schedule, then look for this to be our schedule.

Below would likely be our 2018-2023 opponents.

2018 - Bama, @ Auburn
2019 - @ Bama, MSU
2020 - Bama, @ Mississippi
2021 - @ Bama, Texas A&M
2022 - Bama, @ Arkansas
2023 - @ Bama, LSU

I would like to see a 9 game schedule so everybody could do the home and away like the past. anybody else?

I would be in favor of it. The down side is that you would rarely see SEC teams play tough non-conference opponents.
