I thought once you run a play the previous play cannot be reviewed as well.

This is correct as far as I understand it. The officials cannot stop a live play once it has begun. For whatever reason they tried to do that last night. It doesnā€™t matter if the ā€œboothā€ called for a review or not. The officials are to stop play before the next snap not while a player is running up the field and breaking tackles.

You mean against Florida when he tripped in stride? Bruā€™s a big dude if he has to make any changes in his stride itā€™s going to slow him down. And I said 4.5-4.6 but to be more specific I think heā€™s going to run in the high 4.5 to mid 4.6 range. He moves a lot like Dwayne Bowe who ran in that range. Bruā€™s gotta be at least 0.2 seconds faster than Jauan. Heā€™s gotten behind defenders plenty of times on go routes which is something Jauan didnā€™t do at all in his time here. And there are definitely no olineman faster than him.

I seem to remember Juan torching ole boy from UF. Your post is not accurate. BRU is about the same speed as JJ. Both about the same size too. Give or take a few pounds

Leary made some great passes. The zone is frustrating.

But people forget (or never knew) that in 2021, Leary had a 66% completion percentage, threw for 3400 yards, 35 TDā€™s, and 5 INTā€™s at NC State. I think he got hurt last year. He was probably looking bad this year because heā€™s at UK. He is not a bad QB.

He made some pro throws last night for sure...I am really glad that he and Coen don't get another year to work together with Brown and Key and the TE (Dingle I think?) to throw to.

I knew Leary had that one great year at NCST and I thought he was a huge upgrade over Mayo boy if he was over his injury.

I have had my fair share of moments questioning Milton this year. There have been times where I have wanted to move on and play Nico. But, it is getting exhausting seeing so many of our fans continuing to try and blame any of the adversity or struggles this team faces strictly on Joe. Honestly, Joe has played pretty well these past two weeks in two tough road games and our defense has been the annoyance.

We scored 33 points on the road last night, Joe played arguably his best game as a Vol, yet it is shocking how many of our own fans said Joe played poorly and almost cost us this game. Weā€™re 6-2 or better after Halloween for just the 6th time in the 21st centuryā€¦.

Throwing Nico out there with this suspect pass protection would be a disaster. Joe was a HUGE reason we won us that game last night. Not in spite of, because of, proud of him. I hope we have as strong of a running game next year for Nico to lean on.

I appreciate McCollough and players like him, I do...they do the best they can; but, I am so ready for the younger guys to step in. Would love to see more John Slaughter, Jourdan Thomas. I hope and pray they have the speed and athletism that we desperately need in the secondary.

I could forgive McCollough's lack of speed and athletism in pass defense, if only he were a guy that will come up and make a big tackle, make plays at the line of scrimmage...he can't even do that. He knows nothing of attack. Again, I like him...he's kind of like Joe...I like them, good kids, appreciate them...can't wait till they're gone.

Agree. Addition by subtraction in several position groups will be a good thing.

Removing my natural inclination to become impatient after all of the years wandering in the wilderness, I can see how Heup is balancing team culture, chemistry, player development, recruiting and player utilization to build the program into an elite status. I honestly believe the best is yet to come in 2-3 years. I just do not care for playing guys because they are upper classmen so you can appease team morale. Be better and play. Do poorly and sit. Should not matter if a first or fifth year guy if the primary goal is to win.

Have you watched them this year? Theres a stark contrast to how we run our O and how they do.

Donā€™t have to watch a lot of them. This stat isnā€™t subjective. They snap the ball every 22.8 seconds which is faster than 120 teams in the nation. They are still fast, which was the original point.

Finally get to watch the game today. Saw bits and pieces, but hardly more than a few plays. Will this be an exciting watch like the score indicates or a frustrating one where fast forward should be applied liberally?
