Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Dave Clawson ruined his career and possibly our program. Kiffin’s bolt exacerbated it.

Kiffin did way more harm than Clawson did and it is not even remotely close.

The Auburn OC screwed them on that 4th down play. Why call a fade, which is a low percentage play, with a quarterback who isn’t all that great? Just do play action rollout to draw the defense in a bit and give your quarterback a couple options to throw to or take it in himself.

It seems simple, but these playcallers overthink it a lot. Agree it was a very bad call.

So Coach Heupel gives a shout-out this week to Beckwith for being weight room warrior. Where does Dee fit in?

On @utknate 's wall.

 

[drvenner]

Nah the kicking team has to posses the ball for it to be “downed”.

The SEC already announced it should have been reviewed and returned to the point it was down based upon the back judge's actions.

HH just passed for 8 YPA and ran for 7.1 YPC. On the season 5 passing TDs and 1 INT and 70% completion.

What are you watching?

HIs numbers looked great, but he did not seem to play as well as they indicate. He missed a couple of easy throws (all QB do miss throws, but ours seem to miss more). I think I would rather he start than Milton, but not by very much.

If I am Florida, I load the box and play zone behind it - make Tennessee throw it.

On offense they will run run and run some more - the d line might play well for a quarter but that’s it. Our front 7 isn’t good enough or deep enough to hang.

This. ^

Painfully obvious that this will be their game plan. The two QB's we have used cannot read coverages well, so zone is the prescription for picks with heavy pressure on the QB. They ran very well on Bama, which means they will run extremely well on us. Hope to be surprised, but expecting to be blown out.

This Boise play really hurt.

Really stupid to blow the whistle. These refs, man.

I don't think Pitt is better than either KY or MO. Pitt got beat my Western Michigan today. Western Michigan isn't a good football team. Both MO and KY are much better teams than the Vols are right now plus both games are on the road. We'll be underdogs in both games. I don't give us much chance of beating either.

Kentucky beat Missouri and then should have lost to UTC. Neither of them are clearly better. I agree we will be underdogs, but both are beatable.

 

[drvenner]

Fresno’s QB, Haener, with 1464 yards through 4 games, including two against ranked teams.

Only loss so far was to Oregon, who scored the go-ahead TD late in the 4Q.

Not to shabby.

Wow, only two yards against ranked teams and 1462 against unranked? Weird stats.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

So, totally botched by the officials yet again. Why not review it? Just so freaking stupid.

No accountability. Should be suspended

That's why my confidence level is 60%. It was at 50%, (toss up) prior to seeing us play. I now give the edge to both of those teams. I think they're in a better spot than us right now.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I think that there are quite a few coaches who want no part of coaching in the SEC. They would rather coach up a good team and have a winnable conference schedule year in and year out.

This x100

Today, you say…8/11 for 191. They had 8 rushing TD’s.

Milton may not be good, but Michigan doesn’t produce good QB’s. Harbaugh can’t develop QB’s.

Had such developed Andrew luck and kaeperknick so it’s really weird to hear this and kind of agree.

Just saw the MsSt-Memphis game ref debacle. I'm not an expert at rules, but is he not down with his knee touching the ground, ref blowing the whistle and waving hands, and therefore stopping play?

Chattanooga says hello to UK. We were underdogs to Pitt.

Will be critical next week. UF rushing is a terror.

The team who wins the rushing battle, usually wins this game.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Chattanooga says hello to UK. We were underdogs to Pitt.

And we lost to Pitt.

 

[Jackcrevol]

And we lost to Pitt, who is complete trash. We should have never lost to them.

Averaged 23ppg last season up to 43ppg this season so far. I'm sure that will change going into SEC play, but no one would have predicted that average through 3 games, based on who we lost and a new coach/system.

Ref mix-up forces Penn State to punt early in win

I was following the score but not the game. Should this not be a clear indication to the conference that it has an officiating problem after yesterday?

 

[UTJoe]

Much like with Trevor and Dabo, I'm not really sure the coaches can take the credit for developing those generational talents. Putting them in positions to succeed, maybe. Not screwing them up, that too. But developing was likely done well beforehand by others.

So, totally botched by the officials yet again. Why not review it? Just so freaking stupid.

Better question is why did the Booth not review it? Like what else are they paid to do? That answer is nothing they are literally supposed to review plays like this…. Even if the refs miss it.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

Cold blooded

We have an awesome fan base.
