Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

That’s why this loss hurts. We all know a statement win was within grasp, and after everything you can think of went wrong, we were still within grasp of scraping bye with a win. Those losses suck and we have had to endure so many.

Fact.

 

[drvenner]

That’s mean.

Not sure what mode you are posting in today, but you need to stay on your side of the median.

 

[drvenner]

Chuck Knoblauch and that was hard to watch.

Steve Sax, also, but Sax got it straightened out.

BRADY HOKE

FYP

2016 Dobbs would be so fun on this team... Y'all look at that roster again. Seriously. Look at the guys we had. I don't know if we'll ever see a team so stacked again here....

 

[KPT_VFL]

We still have some wins out there. We are beating Florida. Emory Jones is worse passer than we have and we will hold Richardson in check.

Dobbs would've set some records in this offense.

A normal mind would say to itself, self, next deep ball lets take a little off. If I'm playing cornhole and my first three bags sail over the hole, that #4 bag, I'm reeling it in a little. I mean, same concept, right?

Adrenaline IMO. Pro golfers talk about it all the time, they say being near the lead on Sunday is way different from the driving range or a match with your buddies. Golfers not used to the adrenaline rush often will hit balls way over the green on closing holes and pull putts that they normally make. They talk about it being a learning experience that can happen only when the pressure is on.

I think Milton may have the same problem. Throwing a deep ball in a game is way different from practice. I hope Heup is coaching him up on this.

And Butch threw it all away. Playoff team caliber

I will be in Neyland this Saturday, but I will be wearing purple haha. One of my family members is on the coaching staff at Tennessee Tech. It should be a fun Saturday to watch some football.

You’re fired.

Little too early to be hitting the bottle.

With TTU this weekend, do you give Milton the first half to figure it out? Or do you go with Hooker and prepare for Florida. If Milton can figure out some touch, this offense is scary explosive.. Our opponents aren't watching our film and freaking out that we're rolling Hooker out there..

Milton definitely has two strikes on him, but if he can get out of his own way and figure it out, he's our best option.. If not, let Hooker take the reigns for UF and Missouri and if we're still struggling on offense start building for the future with HB..

 

[drvenner]

We go up 17-0 even 24-0 and it’s game. The crowd stays in it. We could have boat raced them. Defense and special teams gave us a spark to begin the game.

Brilliant call and execution on the punt block. It was awesome.

We winning.

 

[Nuctech777]

Agreed. I think the coaches scripted the start of the game beautifully. If we could have executed, we probably would have been up big in the first. I still liked the fight I saw after we went down. Last years team would have caved.

 

[volbeast33]

Lol I wonder what Swain is thinking… he was all over Joe Milton on the radio. He kept saying he’d light it up and he’d be the best QB we’ve had in years. Which I hoped that would be true nevertheless it clearly wasn’t

He has done really well in practice…. It’s just not carrying over to games.

 

[ndubvols]

I thought there was a lot of effort displayed by the team. Didn’t quit when they were down and had a lot of key pieces missing.

Any word on the injured/missing players? I assume Cooper, Evans, and Young are all back next week. Hyatt, Jabari?

There is a press conference today at Noon ET that might give *some* answers. I assume if anyone is out for the year then we will know. Otherwise, we will probably get the classic "day-to-day" phrase.

Yes

JG 2.0? I'm tired of having a practice Heisman.

HE IS NOT GOING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

DO YOU THINK HOOKER MOVES THE BALL AGAINST ANY DEFENSE WITH A PULSE??? BECAUSE I DON'T

 

[Geaux_Vols]

Heup / Golesh / Hazle have the track record and have certainly earned the benefit of the doubt as far their ability to develop quarterbacks and implement effective offenses. The play-calling is there. Whoever ends up under center, I believe the QB situation will get there, too. They've just done this too many times for it to inexplicably not work here.

 

[volbeast33]

I agree… we need a QB.
