Big hit sighting Yesterday for the VOLS Defense.

[orangebloodgmc]

Gave up more points than our offense scored, so that's still an issue.

And yet, our D is only half of that equation ...

And yet, our D is only half of that equation ...

I think they put both of them together with special teams to determine the outcome.

I do believe the first hit on Fromm was by kongbo wasn’t it?

Definitely Kongbo, announcers wrong.

I stand corrected. It was Kongbo. Good catch guys.

Because the offense goes 3 and out more times than not. The defense gave the O plenty of chances to keep us in the game. By the time the offense decided to show up they were already gassed from being on the field all game. I thought the defense played a good game given the cirumstances. They're definitely improving. Offense not so much

No, not VolNation!!!

You have to actually make the recovery to complete the act and gain credit for a turnover when a ball is fumbled; so you would be the incorrect party here.

Yeah but we are only teaching stripping the ball this year... give em time to learn recovery.

You also have to keep in mind that UGA held the ball for 37 minutes compared to just 22 minutes by UT. That defense was getting worn down. They didn't really start looking awful, to me, till the second half. They weren't great, but they're showing improvement. Still too many missed opportunities and big mistakes, but they're showing improvement at least.

Just my opinion but I think they are picking up the defensive plan. They were in position to make plays, but in many cases didn't make the plays, didn't tackle. So if they ever get physical and stop the arm tackling, I think they can make progress. CJP is doing all he can with this D, but you know he's wanting to get some new players bad at several defensive positions.

Anyone seeing improvement in games with just about identical results and pathways of arriving there is having delusional thoughts and irrational dreams. I understand it for you, but don't force your psychosis on me.

Don’t try to get it twisted man, I ain’t having that.

Kongbo hasn't hit anyone since he's been in Knoxville

Kongbo hasn't hit anyone since he's been in Knoxville

However he did manage to get pancaked twice, once by an H Back 25 lbs lighter than him.

I saw that .... rewinded just to confirm it was him

 

[arkivol]

we seemed to play more aggressively...when a ref has to be carted off you know there's some hitting going on...

GO VOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well at least the dreaded Achilles injury has migrated from UT locker room to the refs

How would one go about doing that here? Asking for a friend.

*Gave up 441 yards of offense
*Gave up 38 points
*Got much worse on 3rd down- allowed Ga to convert 8-14 3rd downs and 1-1 4th downs
*Allowed 251 yards rushing and 5 yds per carry
*Didnt, again, force any turnovers.
*GA dropped at least 2 balls that would’ve been huge gains if not scores.....if they make those plays, which they normally do, it would’ve been much worse.

Are we really excited about this defensive “performance”? Kinda ridiculous if you are.

Our defense wore down as the fourth Q went on. All of the 3 and outs from the first half begin to catch-up with the downlinmen.
I realize the entire 4Q counts towards stats/score , but if you cannot see a huge diff in the play of our D , ......
They played their tails off, nowhere near perfect, but to go into #2 and perform the way they did, I give credit for the effort and obvious progress (I too saw some guys buying in, straining)
