Did anyone hear the announcer call him Mack Mythews?

 

[MattR11]

Yeah it sucks but if they're blaming the coaches for the false start/ missed kick, then they need to give credit for putting the vastly outmanned team in a position to win. But they never do.

If you say give me a tie game with a chance to kick a 40 yd fg to win you take it all day. Go for it on forth and miss you take away points. Our coaches gave us what was needed down and put us in a position to win at the end. Didn't get the W because of a missed kick. CJH believed he could make it because he can and has. That was deflating to fans and players, and we played deflated in OT.

When you look at the real reason, it’s being able to run the football in clutch spots. We simply haven’t done it in the big boy games. AL a few years ago was basically today, sling it down field.

Yes sling it down field matters; and if you want to beat the big boys consistently, you have to be able to run it consistently.

Going to be a tough road to win in Tuscaloosa and Gainesville. This will at least be a 2 loss season.

Don’t get me wrong I’m all for where we are now compared to 5 years ago, but we needed this one.

I’m not scared of either of them with the way the offense is playing and with our guys on D coming back. Neither of them look like they’ll be able to keep up with our offense and their offenses have looked inconsistent so far. Yeah bama beat the hell out of Wisconsin today but they suck.

 

[rjd970]

I’m sorry, we are close but we aren’t winning in Tuscaloosa with this defense. Maybe not Gainesville either.

 

[nashvol1]

is this like being champions at life?

Yes, yes it is. And I will be very proud of this team considering the offseason either way.

To be champs, we either have to either expect it all or keep falling short.

Let’s see how the rush game does with Sanders back. Apparently pushing Perry to guard and Sanders at tackle is even better than what we’ve been seeing,

Come together. Get healthy. Get better. Go beat UGA's ass in SEC Championship.

Go Vols.

I think you are underestimating how bad we are on third and fourth down, and if you thought officiating was bad today it’s going to be an order of magnitude worse in Tuscaloosa.

As far as Gainesville, we should absolutely win, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

 

[Volnukem]

Illegal pick play to tie it up. I’d pay real money for them to call it on Kirby. The amount of points UGA has scored on similar plays is sickening.

Fingers crossed. This is not a future comment as much as a past comment. When cannot run when it matters most against big time teams.

I said same thing when it happened. Hood was picked.

Thanks, miss cleo.

Let’s see how we do with our guys back. 3rd down is a lot different when you’ve got top of the line corners locking up the other teams’ top two receivers and a tackle like Moi who’s able to get in the backfield getting in the qb’s face from the middle. Now if the playcalling on D gets even worse then idk. Banks tends to rely on his personnel more than scheming something crazy up so I’m thinking the starters will make up those deficiencies we’ve seen.

100%. Let’s let it all play out though. We should be getting guys back as early as next week right?

 

[volsagain]

I’ll go watch it again. Hard to beat a perfect throw and 4 should not be on the field in that spot if we recruited appropriate depth.

The depth left when they knew they wouldn't be a starter. Our best 2 dbs are out with injuries. We had the backups but they left to start for other teams.

 

[Go Fight Win]

I’ll tell you one thing we are missing Dylan Sampson out there. My one issue rn: I am souring on the RB committee and think, at this point, it’s time to designate one main back, only getting spells as needed. My vote is star

Sure. Let’s see

We have a clear 1. It’s obvious, give him Dylan snaps.

How do you know Moi will make a difference? Serious question because I don’t think he has played since the first series of the first game.

 

[VolGee4]

If we get 3 guys back, defense should be different.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

When we get McCoy back we gotta give reps to Boo at safety or McMurray. Give reps to spillman over telander he’s too slow

I do not understand why Boo isn't already playing Safety...I've never understood it unless it's because we so shorthanded. He is way faster, way more athletic and a way harder hitter than Turrentune...not to mention his awesome ball skills.

I have never understood that..If I was a OC I would be terrified of him roaming around back there.

Agreed. Always thought that, especially with us bringing in Hood and McMurray being solid at star.

Imma do you one better, I’d bet deeper into the season, Duane Morris will steal a ton of reps. He is the most physically gifted rb in the room.
Star should be 1A.
I do not know what goes on in practice or the film room, but the guy who gets more yards than what’s blocked up has been star.
