It'll be interesting to watch the OL without Kendrick and Richmond.

If a guy lowers his head, that's on him. I hate this rule.

Agreed. If a defensive player is going in for a tackle at the waist and the offensive player lowers his head or falls down, the offensive player can't help hitting him high.

Some good effort in Q1, but I'm glad we're not playing a better opponent.

Currie can't let Butch burn redshirts for three plays. Use a wildcat or something.

This guy was a 3star recruit.  It's not like we are messing up his chances of winning a Heisman.

Unsure if serious? 

Nah.  Can't be.   :dielaughing:

So were Johnny Manzeil and RG3.  I don't think McBride is in their league, but with better coaching next year, who knows?

Most likely, Butch has no investment in maintaining these RS'S and already knows it.

Of course, the longer it goes the more I worry that there might be the possibility that he returns in 2018.

Rg I II was a 4 star.  Would have been higher but nobody thought he would stick as a QB

Come on man!  I stand a better chance of being UTs coach next year than Butch does.

I'm a win now kind of guy. You can't burn a redshirt for three plays. If JG can't go this half then no harm.


Title: Re: Game Thread: Southern Miss
Post by: Jethro on November 05, 2017, 02:37:09 EST
Damn.  And we beat out SMU and Memphis for him.

You're right.  I meant to say Mariota.  I get the three mixed up because they were all dual threat guys and they all played at roughly the same time and all won Heismans.

Alright, JG apparently is injured. No worries on McBride playing. He looks o.k., and seems mobile.

And God help us if he gets hurt.  It may be open tryout time. :banghead:

I hope you are right. I think that you are, but I'm not completely convinced.

we have some walk-ons.  And there is always the wildcat.  We have 3-4 good RBs.

I don't blame their coach for raising hell on that penalty.. no way that was leaping.    That was ridiculous

Jancek?

That;s one. 

Also Seth  Washington and Brandon Hines.

http://www.utsports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6547

http://www.utsports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=871

Of the three, Jancek appears the best option, on paper, followed by Washington.

Ridiculous call on the FG attempt.  I hate to benefit from awful officiating, but after all the bad breaks the Vols have, finally one goes our way.  I;ll take it!!   :naughty:


Title: Re: Game Thread: Southern Miss
Post by: Jethro on November 05, 2017, 03:15:18 EST
Yeah looks more like a ridiculous rule rather than a bad call.

Post by: Black Diamond Vol on November 05, 2017, 03:15:41 EST
A lot of these calls on them look bogus.  Compounded with the fact that we have zero penalties as of now, I would say that it smells fishy.  Except that we're not playing for anything.  Pretty sure the SEC wouldn't pay off an officiating crew just to get Tennessee eligible for the Birmingham Bowl. :frown:

I don't remember a game with this big a discrepancy in penalty yardage.
