Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

wow....some our coaches need to get out more often....rotel dip and football is a must !

"Ground and pound" is more about formation. It's a mindset. Loading up the line.

Heupel runs a ton, but it's not "pound". It's space and pace and getting vertical to punish the spread out defense. Similar to those above, but pushed to the extremes.

But, to me, "ground and pound" is loading up the box with extra linemen and running behind tight ends and all that garbage.

It is not garbage, it is beautifully brutally destructive when done well.

One of my favorite UT drives that I have ever witnessed was Johnny running big William Howard (IIRC) sixteen straight times for a TD in the 4th quarter against Ole Piss back in the late eighties. It was pure brutality and I loved it. I can't remember exactly how much time it took off the clock, I think it was like 10+ minutes, but it ended the game.

Now I wouldn't want to see that very much of the time, but I'd love to be able to if need be.

I guess while we've been tailgating they have been playing/coaching.

Why do I get the feeling we are going to get the the meh portion of the portal and all the typical schools are going to get the studs? I guess it evens out. They can’t recruit all the portal and all the high school prospects.

He is Tennessee version of Rayuga. except Andy raps or attempts to rap

He doesn’t claim to know everything like Ray does. Unfair comparison. Andy is a true gem

 

[Batman1948]

Kelly at LSU will be boom or bust

Doesn't that apply to pretty much all coaches-------you either are or you ain't

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Iowa bout to lose to Virginia after being up 21

 

[SweetasSoda]

I think Kelly realized he was never going to have the talent to win it all at ND. He couldnt build the lines there

But why can you not get talent at Notre Dame anymore?

I remember listening that day. Howard was a bruiser.

Travis Henry v. Arkansas ‘98 for the go ahead comes to mind.

Kelly to lsu could be either really good or a big blown opportunity.

Today I learned that @utvols88 was in Australia.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Ladies and gents....I was just glancing at next years schedule and I could definitely see 9-3. Am I being a little too crazy? Or do yall think that is realistic?

Put the crazy juice down…

11-1

[SweetasSoda]

That's sounds like a mess..... Where does their hate for the Vols come from?

We fired Pruitt. They apparently loved him because he “knew how to play the game.”

 

[SoilVol]

Spelling our coach's name is easy if we remember this easy mnemonic device.

U before E, except after H.

I feel like he's really banking on Saban retiring soon.

 

[KPT_VFL]

But they will

Sad but true… they’ll find ways around the rules. The portal is going to be crazy especially this year. With all the mega openings you’d think they’ll be more quality players transferring this year. Hope we can land some of them.
