At least tag me correctly.

We have 2 yankeevols on the board?!
GBO!!

Heupel believes if he calls a TO in that situation, it gives the defense a chance to set up and as aggressive he is on offense he does not want to let up. Clock managment with a different twist for sure

 

[MrBiggles]

We have improved tremendously over last year. So long as we keep with that trend, there should really be minimal complaints.

That's what happens when you have a coach that can actually COACH!

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

If we can keep scoring 100 points for every 90 minutes of play and only give up 24 points every 90 minutes (special teams TD doesn't count), I like our chances.

 

[House of Neyland]

No. Beating 2 cellar dwellers isn’t going to garner a top 25 ranking.

If we beat Ole Miss and convincingly then we will be ranked at 5-2 going into the Bama game

 

[EODVOL]

People were comparing him to Dobbs. He’s not at that level. At least not yet.

Statistically, he will outpace Josh Dobbs if he maintains. HH has a 182.5 passer rating right now. Well above JD's best year at TN. One can argue Dobbs even had better weapons.

 

[1985Vols]

Can anybody complain about this lol

On Vonation?? You can guarantee it

 

[pbxvol]

Some of you MF’s need to get a life- Vols look great!

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

Alright, I feel crazy saying it...but....we headed for a Top-25 matchup under the lights next week? Does back-to-back dismantlings of P5 teams do enough to rank the Vols????

Not likely. Based on our history of embarrassing anyone in the media that claimed "Tennessee's back, Baby!" in the past, they'll be leary to drink the kool-aid yet.

 

[YankeeVol]

My bad! I’m just busting your chops bud.
GBO!!

Oh I know man

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Remember when media graded Shane Beamer as a better hire than Josh Heupel

And Eli Dorkawitz.
GBO!!

I understand not calling them so I have no complaints.

Again, it's 38-7 at halftime the week after what, a 45-10 halftime? Zero complaints should be made.

 

[Dudleys87]

He’s playing fine. All I said he wasn’t a great runner. More than one occasion today I thought he was going to get way more than he did. He’s mobile enough though even if he makes it look like he’s got a hook in his mouth when nobody is around him. He’s no Dobbs and that was just a crazy comparison.

Absolutely not Dobbs but from what I understand the young kid they have coming in is more electric. If Hooker comes back and he gets a year to learn this offense has the ability to be even faster.

We’ll see.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

this is what hope looks like.

 

[VolArmy74]

This team is finally fun to watch again! The only criticism I'd have is Heupel needs to work on their two minute drill

What does he need to work on? They went 64 yards and put points on the board in 2 minutes. As a matter of fact, it hummed along until we had to call time outs and gave SC a chance to set their defense. It's almost like Huepel's offense works better going fast and he knows it. But VN has some HoF armchair guys so I'm torn on which philosophy I'll go with. The guy who has put up 1000 yards and 100 points in the last 6 quarters or VN guys who played middle school ball.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Rest the starters!

I want to see Milton and the 3rd stringers take over in the 3rd quarter.

 

[GhostVol]

Actual security cam footage from the visitors locker room in Neyland during Beamer's halftime speech.....

 

[84Volfan]

He’s shown flashes of the way Dobbs ran. He’s not Dobbs and won’t be but it’s there.

Senior Dobbs in this offense Heisman finalist

 

[Bryan1]

Rest the starters!

I want to see Milton and the 3rd stringers take over in the 3rd quarter.

Nah, maybe the 4th quarter!

 

[FïreBall]

16.6 sec per play .. 43 plays for 373 yards in 12 minutes.. 38 points... Heupel don't care about no damn time outs! GoVols!

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

I'm thinking pin stripe uniforms.

 

[Orange931]

Rest the starters!

I want to see Milton and the 3rd stringers take over in the 3rd quarter.

It’s too early, gotta wait until it’s 52-7 at least

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

 

[12 Monkeys]

I agree. I think he just wants to go so fast that a timeout feels like a defeat for Hype.

With the game (I hate to say under control) perhaps it’s as much about having the guys perform under pressure. So when they have to do this at the end of a game, with no timeouts, they have in game experience of having to make it happen.
