Byron Young

Defense looked good outside of long TD runs and TE catch and run for TD.

The bend but don't break attitude didn't apply today.

Thankfully the good guys overcame the special teams mistakes and long TD's.

Go Vols !

 

[KnoxToTheBoro93]

4 started off shaky on defense but the second half he played alot better… Hadden is easily our best Db I still want to see Charles or turnage starting opposite of hadden… I’m curious as to why we don’t see turnage more.

Resilience!

How's that Neyland Maxim go? Something like if things don't go your way at first pour on the steam!

Charles only had 2 snaps in the game?

I didn’t see him or turnage much if any… hadden and Burrell played most of the game at corner from memory…

 

[T2P_Priceless]

Hadden isn’t. I’m ready for Charles to replace Burrell.

I don’t know if Charles is ready. He looked awful last week. If you’re frustrated by Burrell playing too far off, Charles was twice as bad. I rewatched the game a couple times to focus on different groups. So when I watched the secondary I noticed Charles waaaay off when his man would catch it. Never had a PBU or even close to a play

 

[tennesseeduke]

Wreaked havoc all day. They kid played his heart out. He brought that WOOD today.

Wood….

 

[livefaith]

He is definitely our best LB. Hands down.

 

[Manchester Vol]

Cut it off then!

Stiff penalty.

 

[DC_Vol]

There were at least 2 DBs between him and the goal line.

The receiver was in the neighborhood of three defenders. I don’t remember exactly who. The shallow one was beat on the turn to the outside. The one on the right looked like he had a bad angle once the play turned. And the one on the left was a few yards back in the end zone.

He would have been about five yards off the catch. IF the receiver was hit in stride, he would have had three yards to the goal line and it didn’t look like we would have been able to keep him out.

That was my take seeing it live and on the replay. I’d have to go back and look at it again to see if my perception was exactly correct.

But……0 sacks against Ball St!!!!!

The difference between a QB getting rid of the ball fast and one holding the ball

 

[GVol1966]

Aaron Beasley played great too.

Beasley is the most improved player on D. Hadden looks good also.

 

[vegasvolfan]

Tyler Baron was a stud too

To both of your points they both were and we need that consistently from both of them.

 

[O.G.HomeGrownUTVOL]

Beasley is the most improved player on D. Hadden looks good also.

The Hit Beasley had in overtime was was a thing of beauty! So far he is easily the choice for most improved on the D! He lays the Big Orange Wood!!!

 

[Ref4Life]

I was pretty critical of the defense in the first half. Mainly because they give up everything across the middle. A lot of busted coverage out there.

But there were some real highlights. Run defense. And the pressure we brought to the QB(s). It’s much improved from last year.

The only problem I see is if we finish the year as a top 50 defense we will be looking for a new coordinator. If you can coach a group from 100+ to top 50 while on a team with the fastest offense in the nation teams will come after him, zero doubt

 

[jeff1vol]

Both ends played really well. Our cbs are just garbage.

Disagree with Hadden. Hes pretty damn good.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Disagree with Hadden. Hes pretty damn good.

I mostly mean #4 lol
