Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

Ben knows.

For the silly "wELp tHerEfOrE hYpE WiLL Never bEaT UGa" statements...

2021: 17-41 not much of a game

2022: 13-27, more respectable end-to-end, but it was still 24-6 even at half

2023: 10-37, a step back in an obvious rebuild season.

2024: 17-31, up by 10...tied at the half. Much more competitive than any game prior.

2025: you already know. Nose-to-nose in about every way.


Now, how about talent differential? 247 team talent composite avg player:

2021:93.5 v 88.0. 5.5/avg gap
2022: 93.4 v 87.8. 5.6/avg gap
2023: 93.0 vs 89.3 3.7/avg gap
2024: 92.9 v 89.5. 3.4/avg gap
2025: 92.5 v 90.4 2.1/avg gap

Worth monitoring.

Also, keep an eye on Florida after they inevitably lose at Miami next Saturday. We’ll probably see some opt outs. If Lagway was smart, he would.

If there are any really good Linebackers start calling asap.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

One thing is for sure.

Star Thomas is our RB1. Easily.

 

[volamite86]

Coach Doug matthews says he doesn’t expect Gibson or McCoy to be back. That was before he took a break

He’s just trying to get engagement. He doesn’t know what’s going on, just throwing against the wall to see what sticks

How would you know?

 

[mrMet]

Just popping in to remind everybody **** Georgia. Have a good Sunday. The boys are LEGIT

Bama gets handled by an unranked (currently #7) FSU team. UT loses in OT to the #6 team. Bama gets ranked higher, both with 1 loss.

bama bias is real.

There are 4-5 teams ahead of us that shouldn't be.

 

[jakez4ut]

Stayed at 15 in the AP poll

I thought it comes out on Monday?

But that's the right call.

It was inevitable.

 

[GVol1966]

One thing is for sure.

Star Thomas is our RB1. Easily.

For sure he is.

One other thing is for sure.
We’re not the coach so I expect to see him on the sidelines half the time even if in critical moments of the game

 

[Aesius]

So jeff Fisch or lane kiffen

6-7 years ago this would have been unthinkable but I don't see much, if any, upside in going to Florida in its current state over Washington or Ole Miss. Florida football is dysfunctional and churns and burns coaches. 12-team playoff, NIL, removal of SEC divisions, and transfer portal make their golden goose of in-state Florida recruiting far less of an advantage than it used to be.

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

Y'all I have been fighting for my life in the Football Forum. Good lord those guys need to go to church or play pickleball or something.

That was an all-time classic!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Seriously? South Carolina just got manhandled on their own home field by Vanderbilt 31-7.

Yep...they got humbled.

Last year Ole Miss came to town and punked them and the next game at Bama South Carolina was a 2 PT conversion away from going to OT.

Beamer seems to always bounce back when his team gets humbled.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

*not worth the watch. He just likes hearing himself talk in this video. Does 0 film breakdown in this video.

 

[MarcoVol]

My takeaway from the game is I can’t believe Kirby has Heup’s offense so figured out

South Carolina has played like crap in all 3 of their games. They're just not a good team.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Damn...Faizon has to be at least 6'5" then.

well done!

Heup's O is outdated

 

[Garren04]

If I’m Heupel I’m beating on the NCAA’s door everyday pleading for another year of JA. If Pavia can get it why not JA.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

A JMoore21 reference from this lunatic.

And as far as Andy always trying to act tough, I've shared this story before in a couple group chats I'm in but not sure I have on this forum. I saw Andy as me and my three kids were leaving the uscjr game in 2022. He was standing outside by himself playing on his phone. The guy is tiny. If he's 5'6" 120lbs I'd be shocked. Oddly sized head, narrow shoulders, rail thin. My middle son was a 7th grader at that time, and he was Andys size. He's way too awkwardly built and tiny to run his mouth as much as he does.

There are 4-5 teams ahead of us that shouldn't be.

Texas
Iowa State
Bama
Illinois

That's 4 easily that I don't think should be ahead of us.

AP is wild though, Oregon wins at Northwestern by 20 and drops 2 spots...FSU doesn't play anyone and climbs 3.

Also 0-2 ND stays in the top 25 LOL

Bama beats Wisconsin by 22 at home and climbs 5 spots

It'll all be sorted out though.


Bit of a joke that Miss State isn't top 25 though.
