That was some terrible basketball - where was the ball movement? working for a good shot? Defense?
We went out there and just started jacking 3s - and if we are going to do then we'd better make a good %, or we will not be very good this year.

Sports / VTTW Message Board / Possible REALISTIC Playoff scenarios as I see it
|

1 - UT wins out, USC loses, Michigan loses, TCU loses
UGA Ohio state Tennessee Michigan
2 - UT wins out, USC loses, Ohio state loses, TCU loses
UGA Michigan Tennessee Ohio state
3 - UT wins out, USC wins, Michigan wins, TCU loses
UGA Michigan Tennessee USC
4 - UT wins out, USC wins, Ohio state wins, TCU loses
UGA Ohio state Tennessee USC
5 - UT wins out, USC wins, Ohio State wins, TCU wins
UGA Ohio state TCU Tennessee
6 - UT wins out, LSU wins out, Ohio State wins, TCU wins,, USC loses
Ohio State TCU Tennessee LSU
7 - UT wins out, TCU wins, USC wins, Michigan wins
UGA Michigan TCU Tenn or USC?
To me there is very little chance UT doesn't make the playoff, with the only chance being if USC, TCU, and Michigan win. That last space would go to USC or UT then, and it would be dicey. We also do not want LSU taking a spot.
So we need to root for UGA to win out, TCU to lose to someone, and Ohio state to beat Michigan IMO.

108 yards against Vandy
He is not good, highly overrated. He will be picked high in the NFL draft though, because of his size and arm strength

They really don't want to get in a shootout, but we can force them to. They are not as good as last year and do not have the weapons to do it.
UK best scenario- take the opening kickoff and go on an 8 min drive. Score. Then hope we go 3 and out.

...most of us looked at the schedule and spotted 5 likely wins, 2 likely losses, and 5 tossup games.
We've now won the first two of those tossups. Another (USC) doesn't really look like a tossup anymore, and can probably be moved into the "likely win" column.
So is 8-4 now our worst case scenario?
Yeah I think 8-4 is worst case. I think we are going 10-2. We will beat UK at home

Sports / VTTW Message Board / The good, bad and ugly

Good:
Herndon Hooker. Reminds me of Tony Robinson everytime he plays - so many huge throws. His best game as a Vol O Line: Overall good, especially Darnell Wright. Receivers: Bru, Keyton, Hyatt pretty much did what they wanted. Keyton's spectacular laying out for the catch was an all time top 5 Vol catch Run game: Vols ran for around 200 yards. DL. Especially Thomas, who is turning into a beast. Kick return: Holiday had 2 really nice KO returns
Bad: Linebackers. Decent against the run, but terrible vs the pass. Penalties Fant. Bad game for him, especially early with the false start and the fumble Late game play calling. Got conservative up 38-21 and let UF back in the game.
Ugly: Entire secondary. possibly one of the worst games I have seen our secondary play. Not sure what the solution is Onsides kick coverage on the second kick. What was that?

LSU is terrible - bad QB play. We all know what that does to a team first hand
Bama defense is excellent, but they don't have that go to receiver yet. They also took a step back in the run game. I think the offense will be little easier to defend, but Bama's defense keeps them in all their games
UK is better - tougher defense, but they're banged up on offense. That will be a game.
UGA I think is our only certain loss.
I think 9-3 to 10-2 is realistic

To get to where we want to go we have got to get a running game....right now it's just not good. IMO, with our types of back that aren't good creating their own lanes we have to create them up front with wider splits....We are in there toe to toe and trying to run between the tackles/ends and it's not working...We don't have a Derrick Henry back there that's going to punish folks...
Also Hooker might need to get back further....He stands very close to the LOS and it has to be harder to see the field. He needs to create more time a lot. He's not great at throwing on the run....more time would help. Our offense surprised and even shocked a lot of folks last season....not going to be the case this year against good defenses. It's why our running game has to be a lot better....JMO
Agree on run game. Small seems to me to be slow, but he runs with power. Wright has explosion but fumbles. I think we need to see more of Sampson and JW

Auburn almost lost to San Jose State also. Isn't it fun that it isn't us for a change? I am going to quibble on one though...I don't agree AT ALL that UF "should" have beaten UK. They were favored but the Kats are no. 20 in the country and a lot better than they used to be. I wouldn't call that a huge upset at all. I am doing this to take a shot at Florida, which I am always happy to do, but actually it's true. Fair point on UK. But as an UT fan FL is always more of a threat

The Vols need to start putting teams away when they have the chance. Second half, numerous times we had that shot but blew it with stupid penalties and dropping passes . That killer instinct..... getting that 4th down play.....etc
Some things I liked - DL is getting better, they really knocked around the PITT OL and QB in first half - Hadden keeps playing well, need more of him - FG kicking
Some things that need to be corrected - Punting, special teams - ugly - Run game was weak. Wright has more explosion but you can't fumble. Would have liked to see Sampson - Hooker needs to look for more guys than Tilman. Need to see more thrown to Bru

That's your prerogative, but you are just assuming obviously. This I'll take what you say with a huge grain of salt.
Take it with salt, sugar, or any other seasoning of your choice. He is out again this week. Not injured. Read the tea leaves.
