'25 Recruiting Forum: Official Tennessee versus Florida Pre-game/Game Thread

Eating all the crow served up!

I do miss run up the score Heupel though. When Kirk was talking about how Heupel goes pedal to the metal for four quarters especially against rivals I was like bro who you talking about, not this Heupel.
Wouldn't overthink it. Having a 2 TO Hooker vs a 10 TO QB is just different in how you approach. We won the game, extremely easily.

Let's also not act like we were throwing haymakers in the first half. We basically ran it down their throats and dinked and dunked for the most part. Our lone longshot actually was in the 2nd half.

The teams that have give. Us the most trouble have had 3 and odd man fronts. Florida did last night. Makes it even more impressive how easily we moved the ball in first quarter. And it wasn’t blown plays. We were methodical.
 
A Pavia spy is a given, even to the average fan. If not, Vandy’s gonna torch our D. Lagway is trash so don’t let last nights performance inflate your view of this D too much.

Pavia is the most overrated player I’ve seen in this sport. A huge chunk of his stats came in garbage time vs Texas and Kentucky. Yes spy him, he always wants to run. He’s put up garbage passing yards to try and fool people he’s a capable passer. Last year he couldn’t do a thing vs us, this year should be no different. Even if he does put up some stats, there should be no universe Vandy can stop our offense. We can score everytime we touch the ball if we want.

We weren't taking a lot of deep shots because of the 2 high safety help UF showed most of the night. We still schemed a lot of mid-level plays using eye candy or overloading one side. Those were effectively haymakers or maybe body blows as they resulted in some scores and opened up multiple 15 to 25 yard passes (Davis a few and Matthews, Stakey & Brazzell a couple each) and a lot of running room for Bishop.

I have been really impressed with Heupel and Halszle having the ability to adjust the attack depending on what the defenses are allowing. It has been much better this year than in previous years. That's probably an indication of trust in the quarterback.

that tackle arion put on DJ early in the game... best form tackle we've had all season and an absolute monster hit while he was at it. that was a tone setter

that and the mike matthews sweep where he lowered the boom at the end of the run and never went down.

thats the kind of stuff i want to be seeing all year

Agreed. I love the way Arion hits. Perlotte also arrives with a blend of speed and bad intentions that make him fun to watch..... Spillman too.

I absolutely love how physical Matthews is for being a polished, finesse route runner. His strength after the catch is impressive and Staley immediately turns into a tall RB once he catches the ball. Can't wait to see Matthews, Tristan Keys and Travis Smith creating mismatches out wide along with Stayley and maybe R. Jackson in the slot if he doesn't take a position out wide. Lots of talent in that room
 
Davis is not the greatest blocker (probably why he hasn’t played as much), but a heck of a receiving threat. Too bad he started the season injured. Looking forward to him being featured next year.

Yep always been the sole reason he’s been behind kits
 
End of first quarter beginning of second, not getting an unnecessary roughness on the late hit and then not getting false start on next play was big to keep the drive alive and push the score to 21-0
