Malzahn tells how he mastered Monte's defense

if Malzahn was our OC do we still lose to Auburn?

How is it incorrect. Seriously, am I missing something? One of NS ints went for a pick 6 and one was ran to the 4 and they kicked a field goal. How does that not add up to 10 points?

Because they got a TD on the first play from the 4 yard line. The final score was 13-7. Wyoming had a pick-6 and a touchdown from the 4. They didn't convert the PAT.
But it's OK. You can go ahead and continue living in your alternate reality where Pick deserves to play.
 
So he mastered Monte's D eh? Seems like they punted a few times.

3 plays punt
10 plays FG
4 play FG
3 plays Punt
9 plays TD
13 plays FG missed
2 plays halftime

3 plays punt
4 plays FG
6 plays punt
8 plays TD
3 plays punt
9 plays FG

6-17 on 3rd down.

I wouldn't call it anywhere near masterful. I mean heck UT had 10 drives that were 5 plays or less. If anything they did an OK job limiting their scoring, they were #1 in the country in offense going into this game.
ehhhh... doesn't fit Griffter's agenda
 

Right. They have an agenda to play the best player everywhere except QB. Even though they are recruiting top players at every position, we all know that top QB prospects are the only players afraid to come in and compete for their position.

You make this too easy.

face it
as hard as it is to accept Crompton's the best we've got...

if Stephens was better he would be playing
 
This is ridiculous. And so was your fill in today on 99.1. You need to just give it up Griffith.

Also, your poll question is dumb. If Malzhan is our OC, we wouldn't be as succesful as Auburn because our talent does not match up, nor does our depth at skill positions with Auburn.

Mike, please, give it up.

Someone else added the poll element to my post....but I think it's an interesting poll question

I think UT is better off having Lane Kiffin as head coach than had it hired someone else and brought Malzahn -- Malzahn will soon be a head coach, and the Vols needed to hire someone that will be hire for a while and build

Gotcha. I forgot that's how it went down. I fixed my post, it made a HUGE difference...

So if Nick Stephens is "Pick Nick" with 3 picks what is Crompton with 17?

Also, "Pick Nick" averages an interception every 45 attempts, and Mr. Your Boy throws one every 23 attempts.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FACTS!!!!!

Over the last few days here in meltdown mode on the VN you are the ring leader with your constant blabbering.

Please just SHUT UP!

Griff, where do you stand on the QB situation? And don't worry about some of these guys, sometimes it's hard to take the orange goggles off for just a minute and consider we're not getting what we were sold....

Pretty much everyone else’s argument. :good!:

From what I've heard, that nickname was given to him from practice.....by the other players. If you thought Stephens was that much better than Crompton last year, you're really revising history in your head. He may be better, but the difference would be marginal at best.

I honestly don't care which one gets played, because neither one is good.

That's pretty much the argument because you are clueless and make our fanbase look even more moronic.

All we read from you is the same crap everyday with a different spin on it. Are you the type person who feels their right on everything, even when they could be wrong?
Crompton sucks, he is horrible, put Stephens in, blah blah blah. The coach just suspended a player for having an attitude like you have. To bad we can't get rid of you or give you away.
You say CLK has an agenda not to play Stephens to scare off recruits, are you insane? What happens next year, is the starting QB going to scare off 2011 QB recruits?
Anyone who says Stephens isn't any better is classified a Cromptonite, could it be the staff thru evaluation from tapes of games last year and practice this year, feel JC is the better QB to get players lined up correctly. How many timeouts have we had to call this year on offense for lining up wrong or false starts? Does JC make bad passes? yes... would everyone here like to see improvement...yes...Does JC have a stronger arm then Stephens? yes...Is JC more mobile then Stephens? yes...
There are certain tangibles JC brings to the position that Stephens does not, no don't be a smartass and say ..yeah like more int's...
I would think the tangibles that JC brings are greater then what Stephens brings. I believe this staff feels if you can correct certain flaws in JC it is better then trying to fix more flaws with Stephens.
The bottomline is simple, the only job on the line in all of this is CLK and staff. From everything I have witnessed about him, he believes in working hard and winning games.
 
I can't believe these poll results.

Look at Malzahn's history. He won 10 games at Arkansas with McFadden and Felix Jones, but they had freaking Casey Dick and Mitch Mustain at QB. So they averaged 155 yards passing and led the SEC at almost 230 yards rushing...and that was with a truncated Houston Nutt hand-cuffed version of the offense.

He got to Tulsa in 2007 and they couldn't run the ball very well, so they threw a lot more, averaging 386 yards passing and 172 yards rushing. A year later, their offensive line was better, so they ran more, averaging 268 yards rushing (almost 100 more than the year before) and 310 yards passing.

At Auburn right now we're averaging 260 yards passing and 254 yards rushing. We're balanced because we can be.

Look at those averages again from year to year.

2006: 155 passing ; 230 rushing
2007: 386 passing ; 172 rushing
2008: 310 passing ; 268 rushing
2009: 260 passing ; 254 rushing

The point is, he isn't stuck in one mold of how to gain yards and score points. If he doesn't have a prolific passer, then he'll run more (2006). If he can't run as much as he would like, he'll throw more (2007). If he can do both reasonably well, he'll be pretty damn balanced (2008 and 2009).

I have no doubt that if he was in control of Tennessee's offense, you would be 5-0, Crompton or Stevens would at least be adequate, and you would be running the ball for 250+ yards. And if you don't think Crompton would be adequate, check Todd's stats from last year. The entire quagmire that was our offense last year didn't help, but he went from a 106 rating last year to a 160 rating this year. From 5 TDs and 6 picks to 12 TDs and 1 pick.

I could be wrong, but I have no evidence to think otherwise. If Malzhan was your OC (and by default NOT our OC), you would have won the game.

About the poll:

I think the Kiffin/Chaney offense will take longer to implement and execute due to needing the correct personnel.

This year we'd do better under Malzahn because we have no verifiable WRs or QB... and little to no OL depth. Malzahn would be able to cook up a way to utilize our RBs better (15 catches by 6 different RBs against us) to make up for that. But, 3 years from now? We'll get better talent, consistently, with the Kiffin/Cheney scheme.

We'll get better talent, consistently, with the Kiffin/Cheney scheme.

The thing is, this is exactly our situation too. Coming in, we have a good starting OL, after that, we're screwed, no depth whatsoever. Our leading receiver right now had 3 CATCHES last year. Coming in, we had nothing at the WR position. And I already noted Todd's stats from last year.

The other thing is, Malzahn doesn't have his correct personnel either. Ultimately, once he has his kind of guys, he'll have 11 guys on the field that can run any of his formations, so as to avoid substitutions and keep the pace up. As of right now, he has to sub a lot more than he would like.

All of this leads to my original point. Even though he doesn't have "his guys" and can't do it the way he would want, he appears to be a master of working with what's there. Hence, I think he would have you cruising at over 250 yards rushing, while asking Crompton and the receivers for about 150-180 yards a game.

Your point is still true about the future of the Kiffin offense.

I really think all you guys ripping Griff are getting a little carried away. Half of this story is quotes that, to me, prove we got out-coached.

You have Gus and Jesus confused.
