‘25 Recruiting Forum: Official Syracuse vs Tennessee Pre-game/Game Thread

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

We were all so happy at halftime. Blech.

Game was over at half. Coaches used this half as a coaching lesson but they are playing so bad that it isn’t helping to coach it is only killing habits. Instead of stopping the subbing the third quarter, they kept on and these kids look lost. Just an absolute joke of a coaching job this second half for what they get paid.

Ehhh. Not overly worried about the D. We need to get away with a win and style points don’t really matter right now. Win and limit injuries. I’d imagine we would be more aggressive in SEC play

Style points count even less in a loss

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Heupel has a bad habit of going vanilla on offense too early.

Yes started way too early. 2 straight possessions and let em back in. He has got to stop doing that.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Syracuse TOP is 31 minutes to our 17. Insane.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Getting uncomfortable here with this score.

 

[Ace]

We are using this game to build depth on defense. Playing everyone on the roster, even walkons

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Good god the amount of commercials is ridiculous

 

[UTK]

This defense has played too many snaps and it was so avoidable.

Millions of opportunities to get off the field and they refused. On them.

 

[Jack Burton]

Can we turn it back on on offense?

Our defense is gaasssssed

They better or we’re in trouble.

Too late on limiting injuries.

The entire d line is hurt.

 

[benholt06]

Need a sustained possession that ends in a score

 

[Vols2DaWall]

That Boo play pisses me off too. Screw around all offseason and miss a gift-wrapped sack.

 

[Weezer]

You were just cry-babying about a half-nekkid girl in your ads the other day. . .

WTF are you talking about? I said I liked it, dumbass.

 

[Jackcrevol]

We are going to have to win this one with a long, sustained drive. Our defense is just not there right now.

 

[SaguaroVols]

Just run the ball. We have had success with the OL and our backs. No dilly dallying

Sounds like '22 to me...

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Syracuse is 3 of 3 on 4th downs

Boo was either "covering the WR" or "tackling the QB" on 2 of them.

Boo's missed sack on 4th was brutal. #2 on that play literally did nothing as well

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Considering how many players Banks has used, this D isn’t really worrying me.

Young guys getting reps against a good 1st team offense that is gonna be pretty good.

Slightly annoyed our offense hasn’t done more this half.

 

[WebbCobb]

I'm a big defense fan, but when the offense is clicking, we play bend don't break D. Not hammering defense.

They’re bending and breaking

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I never would have figured you for one that's easily angered.

Lol...our defense today is extremely frustrating to watch, against a rebuilt Syracuse offense...if ain't bothering you right now, it will when we play a really good offense.


I actually thought the defense was what we thought it was...instead we've regressed somewhat badly it seems.

I thought Syracuse would struggle to score in the mid teens, instead they've put 4 tds on the board SO FAR and our offense hasn't done crap in the second half.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Which reminds me, I'm still waiting to meet a woman who lives in a glass house. Oh the sights we'll see.

Would you accept an old woman that lives in a shoe?

 

[MattR11]

Need a good drive to get our defense some rest. Score doesn't matter just get out with a win and clean some things up this week.

 

[DD4ME]

Backs have been good catching the ball.
