Scrimmage 2 Notes (Spring 2026)

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

The frustration with Mike is not just with drops, its drops in dire situations. He dropped a few sure TDs last year that could have changed the complexion of the game.

As far as Heup scoring regardless, I disagree. Points were at a premium against SEC competition with Milton and Nico.

in the 23 losses, UT scored 16 against Florida, 10 against Georgia, 7 against Missouri, and 20 against Bama. There were several wins with low scoring as well.

In the 24 losses, UT scored 14 against Arkansas, 17 against Georgia, and the 17 against OSU even though they were clearly the best team in CFB that season. They only eclipsed 30 once against SEC competition (Vandy). Non conference games were fine obviously.

In 25, the O with Aguilar made some strides so its easy to forget how many games were low scoring the previous two seasons when the O struggled to get over the goal line in league play that led to some bad losses. The D bailed them out in 24. Not so much in 23.

40 points a game with a non power 5 QB who got on campus in late May is why I trust Heupel's offense implicitly. And then you can point to his offenses having 2500 yards rushing per year for his first 4 seasons. You can also point to the fact that his QB's average over 30 total touchdowns and under 6 interceptions PER SEASON. And that's with 5 different starting QBs in 6 years. The guys a bonafide QBs coach.

Yes, but Diego's was specifically for four years at the NCAA level and Jose got 3.

The Nashville judge granted the injunction, the Knox judge just didn't.

No it wasn’t. Diego’s was for a 1 year waiver. That’s it. Joey got the same waiver. If Diego had been given more than that, Joey would have too. Laws aren’t applied to some individuals and not others.

Please understand the legal issues before complaining that they weren’t applied fairly.

Nah for sure. This is a very unique situation. I hope whoever gets the job, holds onto it and excels. I also think if Faizon happens to start, GMac would bounce especially as the older player. Idk if Faizon would leave if he was the backup.

I want what’s best for the team but I do think Faizon has more upside based on his physical traits and only being 17. If the competition is close, idk what Coach Heupel will do.

I think Coach Hep will start the one he thinks will help us win the most games. He can not weaken the team by trying to appease either of them. You win the job or you don't.
