Have we saved anything special for these next 2 games or have we used up everything?

I am curious as to whether we have saved anything that aTm & Bama haven't yet seen from us or if we've already showed everything we're capable of?

If we had lost to UGA I'd be upset to find that we hadn't used our whole playbook. Now that it's behind us I feel like our coaches would look like geniuses if they could bust out a few things in each game we haven't seen yet...

I would group more designed runs by Dobbs in here too. These two games are the pinnacle of our regular season. Do you run Dobbs more knowing how much it would open up our passing game and knowing that Dormady could manage the team over the tail end of the season if the worst should happen?

I can think of alot of plays that we haven't seen from even last year that worked.

I'm sure Kiffin has, last second player on the field. put in motion and we miss the coverage for a touchdown..

Designed runs by Dobbs are obvious, it's anytime he's alone in the backfield. But he needs to pull the ball in the read option more. There were several times when he had an open running lane. If he would've done it just one time when we went conservative at the end, I think he would've gotten the first down.

I would just really like to see them somehow get Berry into the offense. He seems to make things happen everytime he gets the ball.

To me, "saving plays/schemes" at this point is stupid. There might be a little something here or there but for the most part I think what we've seen is what we've got.

We don't need anything else. Keep the good mixture of runs and passes downfield we've shown over the past 6 quarters. Our offense looks great right now!

From a credible source I have heard we are going to not spot teams an entire first half.

I believe we will open up the downfield routes earlier instead of waiting until the second half.

We have got to put a stop to doing that. It almost bit us on the butt with UGA. Need to clean up all the dropped passes. Not all of them were on Dobbs. And all that talent you'd think the they tackle a little better. Never did like the bump tackling. Rap up and put them on the ground.

Our secret weapons are our players. Every week someone new has stepped up and been there when it counts. Made plays when they needed to be made. You never know who is going to step up next.

Maybe a wrinkle here and there. I doubt we were "saving" anything but if Debord is worth anything he will look for new ways to exploit every new opponent and install it that week.

They're not holding anything back.... except 1st half execution and running Dobbs in the first half.

If UT doesn't get over its slow starts AND continue to play through 4 qtrs then they'll lose both of the next two games. These are the best two teams on the schedule. They won't give the Vols all of those chances to come back.

I suppose they will now have to scheme for our Dobbs to Jennings Hail Mary play.

We've clearly been saving four quarters of exceptional execution per game for this two game run (when we need it most).

We have not run a single jet sweep all year, have we?

I think once to Smith. And with Byrd's speed and allusiveness that's a little confusing.

The only thing I can think of is that they don't feel confident that they can set the corner or else they don't want WR's exposed to injury blocking on that type of play.

wouldn't doubt a little trickeration, but probably going to see a lot of the usual... defense gotta hit them in the mouth from the get-go and offense takes what defense gives them....hopefully...:)

GO VOLS!

The only thing we have been hiding is playing the first half. We will play four quarters and sweep atm..
