Jeremy Pruitt Press Conference, S. Carolina Week, 12pm

[peerless98]

Not all of the game was JGs fault..50% was on the coach, 30 on JG and the offense and 20 on the D....keep in mind the defense gave up 38 to a team that averaged 30 ppg but our offense only score 23 (garbage end of game td shouldnt factor in) to a Ga st D that gave up am avg of 36ppg....

BYU. Defense played much better. In regulation thr defense held them to 16 when they end up at 27 ppg and the offense only scored 16 against BYU defense tha gave up 27 ppg....in that Game. 50% on coach, 40 on offense, and 10 on defense...

You had an offense with a RSJR QB, 2 SR WR, SR TE, the oline with experience..

How can I argue random, made up, opinionated percentages when all I have are statistical facts? You win

Hmmm. I gave you stats proving why the offense was more at fault in both cases... also its the coaches job to have the team ready. Were they?? No. They shuffled players like a deck of cards. Thats on the staff...so opinion or not. Stats show the offense under performed against subpar defenses while the defense was at or under what other teams scored....so if you want more stats ull be happy to oblige once im thru with work..otherwise. we are done

 

[RDU VOL#14]

hmm......not cool that you stated, "at seasons end the joke was always on us." I proved otherwise, and you change the argument. JG didn't cost us the games against GA State or BYU regardless of what you or others claim. We scored plenty of points to win the GA State game so blame the defense. Also, the BYU game was in the bag until a boneheaded busted coverage by the defense. You probably blame JG for the pandemic as well.

Nope. You can‘t win this argument.

Lol, you really are bad at this math stuff. You can't give an opinion and just place the number you think works to it. You guys are impossible to debate with all of your woulda coulda shoulda dones and your made up math.

 

[whodeycin85]

Better get used to it as Pruitt is not going to ever avg much more than 25 passing attempts per game unless the entire roster is best suited for it and ours currently is not.

Funny my math is bad but your to caught up in own hype to realize we already average 27.6 attempts per game and 29 when JG started and played the whole game...so please in your infinate and all knowing knowledge. How does one accurately measure blame for those losses???

How about the numbers from the PPG which put offense never met...or about JG 2nd half numbers in those game which i already posted....anything else ??? I think JG needs you more as a hype man then the Vols need you as an analyst and fan

NFL players have been dropping like flies in the first 2 weeks.

Disrespecting our flag and NA is hard on their knees.

We were done before you posted this again trying to argue that opinions are facts.

Please post regarding how one measure blames in a loss other then opinion???

Here. Those % numbers are my OPINION based on poor coaching and calls and poor offensive play


Better??

Much better. We all have opinions; mine are just different from yours, and that's fine. There are no hard feelings here.

I have never understood the travel roster limit. It always seems like a disadvantage for away teams. You have to travel to play your opponent, oh and we’re going to make you play with 10 less players now top of that too. That’s one rule I wish would get fixed.

Travel expenses bro.
This ain't High school ball when you can just board the coach bus and drive an hour or two.

I will respectfully disagree. SEC football programs can afford to send 10 more players on a road trip. They sure as heck can dole out millions upon millions of dollars to coaching staffs, recruiting and stadium renovations but they can’t afford to send a few more players to make both sides equal on game day? I’m not buying that.

Do you think the player limit rules are there to help the wealthy programs or are they there to protect the poor ones?

Quote from CBS from Jan 2020
The SEC announced on Thursday that it generated approximately $651 million in revenue and distributed just over $44.6 million per school during the 2018-19 school year, excluding money bowl-eligible schools earned by playing in the postseason.

My question is with profit sharing of 44.6 mil per school what qualifies as a "poor" SEC school?

This is an SEC rule that I’m talking about, not an NCAA rule. There are no poor SEC schools. I can understand a rule in place for OOC games when playing lower level programs but I’m talking about the Power 5 whenever they play a conference opponent. I know the Big 10 increased its travel limit to 74 players a couple years ago. I just don’t see why the SEC can’t do an increase. Doesn’t make sense to be going up against a team that is able to play 10 more players than you whenever you play in the same conference.

All of these things are great points toward proving that the D owns part, if not a lot, of the blame for these losses. JG haters put them all on him when there is plenty of blame to go around. It's kind of like blaming the pitcher for a loss in a 1-0 game when the bats disappear.

That’s a joke right? Surely you don’t think his play in that game could be even close to the equivalent of a pitcher giving up 1 run. I agree lots of blame to go around but the qb gets a good chunk of that blame

Some SEC schools operate their sports programs in the red and lose money, football runs in the red at schools as well.

If you want to hang your hat on wins over UAB, KY, Mizzou, Vanderbilt etc. teams we are supposed to beat, then that is your choice. My argument is valid because were we not saying if only we had won the BYU and GA State game we would have been 9-3 and in position for a better bowl bid? Maybe you weren't disappointed but most are because of those two games. We knew our D was suspect, and would have to rely more on the O. A 3-year starter such as JG should be able to put the team on his shoulders and capitalize when opportuniteis present themselves while not stalling drives, which he is notorious. There is more to a QB's game than just stats. You cannot deny the multiple drives that just stalled because of his decision making. JG did have a fumble and an INT that game that led to GA State scoring 10 points but these are things stats don't tell you. BYU game we settle for four field goals because drives stalled, and another INT for JG that led to a BYU TD. So how is JG not to take some of the Blame for these two games? You say we scored plenty of points but obviously we didn't because we lost, did you know the average team score across the NCAA is 30 points, BYU we only scored 26 and GA State 30. So in both instances, our D stayed on par pretty much with every other D while our offense underperformed against BYU.
