Joey's best play yesterday. This was elite

I’ve watched this play a bunch, and I can’t tell if he gets flushed by the pressure or just looks away too quickly, but he had the slot guy wide open on a corner route at the bottom of the screen

Someone tell this Bama fan the portal is closed right now. I saw a guy on one site suggest earlier that they fire their coaches and hire new ones mid-season.

"This team got to get better and fast or it's going to be a long season."

Way too early, but total offensive YPP rankings (far right column).

Brings joy to my grinch heart.

We are 21st overall (7.25 YPP), BUT #5 vs FBS opps and #1 vs P5 opps.

My guess:

Texas won statistically. OSU was pretty much ***. At TEX or neutral field and TEX wins. That's what it's saying. And PSU wasn't playing anyone impressive enough to jump them. Of course, the original margin matters a lot too. TEX may have been way ahead in the model to begin with.

If I had to guess to your last question - a #8 team would have been expected to beat that Cuse team more handily. Having us #8 was very lofty to begin with. Of course... That and/or another team simply jumped us due to their own performance. But to your original point - how are we even #9 or begin at #8? No idea, but I'll take it lol. I'd guess last year's success, returning starters + recruiting.

Again, this is a statistical model. Process/decision-driven, not binary outcome-driven, as it should be.

Devo - you’ve misunderstood him. He’s not questioning the Vols ranking.

You have in your responses.

He isn’t.

His very valid concern is related to the rankings of other teams.

I was checking the Gator boards to get the pulse of the fan base after beating a nobody and it is not exactly what I was expecting. Some trepidation in the fan base.

"I don’t enjoy watching WR’s not get open vs LIU



I don’t enjoy watching our OL give up -11 TFL’s"

Press like this so early in a tenure...

After the loss to FSU, Bama now projected at 7-5 on ESPN FPI

Can you imagine? Zero chance DeBoer survives that. Then the internal power struggles begin to fix the problem, and it will not end well in Tuscaloosa.

Thought Heard would be higher. He was fantastic all day

And does this staff knock it out of the park when they get portal transfers or what. Any player in the portal should see what Tennessee has done and bend over backwards to play for this staff.

PFF has no clue

You mean zero chance he's fired?

My mind reading sucks

Makes sense. Some of it makes good sense, at least Tex, OSU.

USC and OM otoh are more odd to me. Battering FCS teams is meh. Bama dropping 10 spots is a solid reflection, while keeping intact their potential/raw talent. Early on, but they could easily end up borderline top 25 if that rush defense and Simpson don't improve a lot. GOD I can't wait to play in Tuscaloosa. I'm excited to rip their hearts out!!

Here is all you need to know.

1. Dela seis (day-la sayse) = Give him 6
2. Vamos Vols = Go Vols

*dale seis

 

[Rishvol]

So at this point I'll assume GameDay will be in Knoxville in 2 weeks?

 

[Aesius]

You can't honestly think he survives 7-5.

I agree with all this, in merit. I dunno about the draft part.

I do know the opportunity here is, was, will be better than anything UCLA could offer. And he, and/or his camp, just made a poor choice in how to handle the situation.

And to be honest, early returns say that it may actually be a good thing for us in the long run.

Addition by subtraction. Unanswered prayers. Whatever you want to call it.

I do think this has more to do with his camp than it does him, so on some level I feel bad for the kid.

I think there's a lot to learn from this whole 23 QB class, in general.

Yes!!
Manning, Nico, Jackson Arnold so far looking highly over rated. Things could change but the jury is still out for sure.
