Why wouldn’t anyone want to play for Heupel?

We aren’t scoring blue chip recruits. But we are going to score points. And on defense, you will play. Our defense is averaging about 80 snaps a game.

99 snaps on D tonight. This team and coaching staff has a toughness and resiliency I haven’t seen since Majors’ prime

$$?

The defensive problems is mostly due to lack of depth, talent, and pass rushers.

Definitely need more players.

The fact that he can coach up a depleted roster to play above their competition and maximize their potential. Imagine getting a roster of a top 10 recruiting class.

Once Heupel and Banks gets some depth and talent, TN could be a very scary team

CJH has made it fun watching UT again. Future looks bright.

Go VOLS

 

[rocky top buzz]

Agreed with this 100%. Don't understand why our recruiting is so bad. Kentucky and Mizzou getting better recruits than UT. Things might get worse before they get better.

Other SEC coachs don't want none of that...

Most explosive offense we've had in some time. We are doing this with a lack of depth at OL and RB. We only have what 2 QB's now?

I grew up watching those late Majors teams. There was no deficit too big for them to come back from. I've watched a lot of hopeless games to the end over these past fifteen years because of that early conditioning. This team gives me real hope that we'll see that sort of play once again.

And we have the # 1 DT 10 miles from the stadium commit to Texas A&M today. go figure

Worst username ever

I would. I’m also having more fun as a fan than I have in a LONG time. Nice to be able to score

 

[calban]

One thing about it. Our defense may be the best conditioned in the league.

I think (hope) that when recruits see these games offensive players really want some of that high speed and defensive players see openings for playing NOW!
We shall see...

So far, so good. We are barrelling toward 7-5 with a bowl game. Outstanding considering last year.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

We are averaging about 80 snaps a game on D. Even backups will play a bunch.

I love this coaching staff...I can't wait to see them with thier own players out there...They have taken a dumpster fire and fixed it...Absolutely amazing job!
