Ahh, right was thinking INTs. He looked way better against us than he did Austin Peay.

He did. That's why "transitive property" is brought up so much.

Smart doesn't create the mental focus in players Saban did. But no matter how disinterested they look against weaker competition, he knows how to dial his players in on big games.

Dialed up or a bad defense? We'll see what he looks like the rest of the season.

Anybody think Heupel is a QB coaching savant, but when it comes to evaluation he is lacking? Nico and Joe Milton look all world on paper athletically, but he really should be looking for mature guys like Hooker and Aguilar for his system to work.

I don’t know, just a random thought.

There is something to this theory bc how he evaluates vs develops makes no sense lol

One of the biggest downsides of yesterday’s loss is that JA’s performance went unrecognized. 371 yds, 5 total TDs (4 passing, 1 rushing) against a NC contender in a game where we had multiple chances to seal the victory. A win yesterday vaults him into the Heisman conversation.

Heck, we could have won by 2 TDs and he probably would still be snubbed in any Heisman talk. The fact that Stetson Bennett was a finalist when Hendon Hooker was left out a few years ago was just the latest nonsense from that committee. Meanwhile, you can bet that Stockton will be right in the middle of the conversation.

What's astounding to me is that all of these insanely paid coaching staffs didn't see Aguilar as worthy of a scholarship. They say that with the technology and internet these days that no player can go unnoticed. If a kid can play, someone will find him. Yet, Aguilar was gonna give it all up and become a fireman. Even had to go to some juco program that no one had ever heard of. How does that happen in today's connected world? Another question....who on the App State staff found him and brought him there? Even bigger question....why isn't that coach on our staff if he can recognize a QB who can actually play. Not sure we have one of those on our staff right now.

Yeah, to think we could still have Nico and still convincing ourselves all that potential will finally translate to the field. Aguilar seems like a great kid too. Really athletic and a natural fit for this offense. I wish he had another year to play.

He put up like 370 yards and 4 TD's on a UGA defense. I'd say our O-line graded out pretty darn good to give him that opportunity. That...and he actually made well timed decisions to release the ball. Only thing I would say about Aguilar is we have some really fast receivers that have to pull up and wait on the long ball. He needs to either put that ball out earlier, quit throwing a high floater down field, or decide if he has the arm to put one that deep and modify the routes so he can hit them in stride. This is based on 2 games of observations against P4 DB's. I'm one of Saturday's detractors that was not happy with a couple key in game CJH decisions that I thought let Kirby smell out a lack of killer instinct. However, the team played at a very high level and the guys put up 41 points on likely the toughest game of the season. Oddly enough in the early going this season, Vandy is so far looking like the 2nd toughest. With OU holding out with the jury.

And as of this morning, Nico and Madden are without the HC that took them. Yeah, they are real bad, and no QB is gonna be anything other than horrible on that team, but his numbers are still almost in line with what he did here with better protection and far better coaching.

We made Stockton look like one. 350 total yards, 3 total TDs and zero INTs

So Aguilar isn't a heisman contender with more yds and more TDs against Georgia but Stockton is with less numbers against a defense that , as seen on here, "sucks"?
Weird

This isn't necessarily directed at this specific post just more in general with this thread

He threw as many touchdowns today as Nico has thrown all year. We scored more points than we did the past 3 years against Georgia. He can play at this level in this offense. Heupel needs the sort of cajones that Aguilar has.

Who called the plays that were TDs. Believe that would be the coach you mentioned.

My comment was just that everyone was down on Stockton pre-game, fans of both sides. I said just wait until he comes to Neyland, he'll have the game of his life.... I was joking (somewhat) that the Vols would launch his Heisman campaign.
