Vols win Orange bowl against Clemson
Vfllostng8rcntry replied to RobVOL's topic in Talk about the Tennessee Vols
After the past 15 years, I'll take going3-1vs the last 4 national champions. -
Cheer the' ell up
Vfllostng8rcntry replied to Vfllostng8rcntry's topic in Talk about the Tennessee Vols
Could be a record crowd for the O&W game with a three man QB competition between Milton, Tayven and Nico. I'll reserve judgment on Milton until after the bowl game, but right now he doesn't look like the answer. -
Vols, and the Rankings.
Vfllostng8rcntry replied to okfloray's topic in Talk about the Tennessee Vols
Bamas losses are by a combined 5 points to current number 7 and number 11. Ours are by a combined 39 points to current 1 and 20. I don't like it(mainly just cause buck fama) but I get it. -
Vols finish season 10-2 after 56-0 win against Vandy
Vfllostng8rcntry replied to RobVOL's topic in Talk about the Tennessee Vols
Only way we get Sugar Bowl is Bammer making the cfp or the selection committee jumps us over them, which I doubt. We could also potentially get the Cotton if LSU does the impossible and beats UGA. Then you would have LSU in the Sugar, Bammer in the Orange. -
With the regular season over, I've noticed an air of disappointment around Vol nation. I get it, the Vols were so close to the promised land just to have it ripped away on one terrible night in Columbia, SC. But we gotta quit moping and realize the reality of the situation. Coming in to the season, most of the "experts" predicted us between 6-6 and 8-4 with a 9-3 ceiling. We exceeded all of those expectations. Which one of us, in August, would have turned down this season. A season where we beat both Alabama and Florida, along with blowing out LSU on the road. The best regular season record in 19 years. 2nd place in the SEC trailing only the likely eventual national champions. How quickly we have forgotten the feeling of getting blown out by Vanderbilt and getting thoroughly outplayed by Sunbelt teams. Was it lightning in a bottle? Maybe, but as of right now we have a very solid recruiting class with blue chip help coming in several key areas of need. So cheer up Y'all and celebrate the best season for Vols fans since George Dubbya was in his first term.

I'm thinking Orange. The CFP will probably keep Bammer ranked ahead of us, putting them in the Sugar. That is assuming USC and TCU don't both lose their conference title games, giving the chance for the cfp to do what they really want and put Bama in the playoff. -
Tennessee tops Oregon in the horrid uniform contest

Grading the Georgia game by position.
Vfllostng8rcntry posted a topic in Talk about the Tennessee Vols
QB C- Hooker had possibly his worst game in orange and white. Inaccurate throwing the ball down field. Had no picket presence and miss read alot of coveragesGot exposed for having no drop after the snap and Georgia exploited that for a boat load of sacks. Did make some decent short throws which is why he's not in the D range. RB D+ Never got going and had ball security issues. Wright had a few decent runs but displayed sub par vision and didn't execute in short yardage. Atrocious in pass pro, allowing the Georgia pass rush to get to Hooker several times. TE D Pass blocking, run blocking, route running were all sub par. Warren had one nice catch but that was the sole highlight for this unit. OL F 7 Sacks, 7 False starts. Undisciplined plays was the theme for the oline. And when they did keep their composure, they flat out got beat. Couldn't generate any push. Offense Overall D Three drives that resulted in points, and one was on a relatively short field. DL B The one highlight(if you want to call it that) was the front 7. They held a good Georgia run game to 3.6 ypc on 36 attempts. Filled their gaps we'll. Didn't impact the passing game much. The pass rush was non existent. LB C+ Filled the gaps in the run game well. Didn't get home, or even really close on their blitzes. Played OK in coverage, but not what I would call good. DB C Got beat deep in several man coverages. Safties often let Bennett look them off. A very average performance overall with a very weak first half and a much better second half. Defense overall C+ Held Georgia below their averages in most statistical categories. Did enough to win, but not enough to overcome a stagnant offensive performance. ST B They were fine. Dee Williams allowing the one long punt to go over his head led to a chain of events that changed the complextion of the game. Other than that looked pretty solid. Play Calling F Let me preface this with saying I love this coaching staff and am marveled by what they have accomplished this year. But this game was BAD. No adjustments were made to account for Georgia's pass rush and we kept trying the same things to try to move the ball. You can't be one trick ponies in this league to be on the very top. They were out coached by leaps and bounds in this game. Overall D+ The lights were to bright in Athens. They got punched in the mouth and weren't able to overcome the talent gap. However this is still a very good football team and you learn and grow more in competitive losses then wins. IF we make the CFP, I expect a much more competitive effort next time around. -
And help we got. Thank you LSU and Notre Dame.

Here's a unlikely, yet slim possibility of a chaotic what if. What if Uga beats Tennessee and loses to kentucky. LSU beats Bama, then Bama loses to Ole Miss and LSU beats Georgia in the SEC championship. An Ohio st.(13-0), Clemson(13-0) Tennessee(11-1) and Ole Miss(11-1)playoff is entirely possible, all be it extremely unlikely.

Playing Neko at corner changed the entire look of this secondary. Their definitely peaking at the right time. -
Fearless predictions for Tennessee vs Georgia
Vfllostng8rcntry posted a topic in Talk about the Tennessee Vols
Not looking for scores. Here's mine. 1. Kirby game plans Hyatt and as a result Tillman splashes back on to the scene with 120 and 2 td 2. Dee Williams breaks a punt return for a td 3. Georgia has 450+ yds, but less than 120 rushing Bonus: 18 million+ average viewers -
Grading the Kentucky game by position.
Vfllostng8rcntry posted a topic in Talk about the Tennessee Vols
QB A Hooker did an outstanding job reading the defense and commanding the offense. Had a couple of overthrows but accurate for the most part. RB B+ Small didn't have his best game, but not his worst either. Wright looked explosive and showed excelent footwork and vision. WR A- Very good route running. Got good separation and played the ball well. Hyatt went off....again. Had a couple drops on plays that could have been TDs. TE B Didn't make a huge impact in the passing game, but were solid in pass pro and run blocking OL B+ Gave up two sacks, but did a great job otherwise. Opened some nice holes in the run game. Offense overall A- Yet another show put on against a top 10 D. Im honestly starting to wonder if there is a defense they can't score on in droves. Guess we'll find out next Saturday. DL A+ Byron Young was in Levis's face all night. Held a good Kentucky run game to 107 yards. Got great push and played very disciplined football LB A Missed a few gaps giving up a couple decent runs, but thats nit-picking. Swarmed the football and played very well in coverage. Also took advantage of a tipped ball and accounted for 1 int. DB A+ So, allegedly, Will Levis is the best QB in this draft class. Couldn't tell it by this game. Tight, lockdown coverage by this unit. Produced three interceptions and tackled very well. Zone, man looked good regardless. Defense Overall A+ By far the best performance this year by Tim Banks's group. PK C+ 1-2 and a missed pat. Not the best game for the hero of the Bama game. P A+ 52 yarder and 2 inside the 5. Very solid. Gotta admit I almost forgot Brooks' name. Haven't had the chance to grade this unit much this year. PR A Dee Williams is proving to be a very good returner. KR n/a Gotta return a kick to be graded. Two kicks, two tb KO B+ Gotta admit, i like the pooch kick strategy. Its proven to be effective at giving the D good field position ST B+ Play calling A+ Overall A+ Dang near a perfect performance. I was nervous about a trap game. But we came out focused and dominated this football game.- 1 reply
