Title: 237 yards rushing today Post by: Black Diamond Vol on October 15, 2023, 01:16:01 EDT I heard all week that we?d be lucky to get 100.
Bammer is beatable. Just need to cut out the stupid penalties (good luck with that in Tuscaloosa) and get competence out of the QB position. I know most of us are anticipating a change, but they?re not gonna break in Nico at bammer. So put that thought on ice for at least another week.

But, Milton just isn?t going to play at the level needed to compete in most of the rest of the games on the schedule, and the WRs aren?t helping. Every UT fan knows this. So let?s further embrace a running identity. The were more QB runs today, let?s see twice as many next week. The one option looked good today, let?s see one per quarter next week. Regular downfield passes aren?t working. So?. more shovel passes, more passes out of the backfield to the RBs. Maybe bring back the quick throw to the boundary if the WRs can figure out how to block it. And more trick plays. And, I would put in a package for Nico. 3-4 plays he feels comfortable with. I?m expecting UT to be a double digit underdog next week, so let it all hang out.

Yes, I was pessimistic. I thought that they would jam up the run and we would have to pass. It's a good thing that didn't happen because the passing game certainly was not there. Title: Re: 237 yards rushing today Post by: Tnphil on October 15, 2023, 02:35:35 EDT AM was only giving up 87 average running IIRC. Great job and a lot of it was tough yards.
Title: Re: 237 yards rushing today Post by: PirateVOL on October 15, 2023, 02:56:25 EDT This OL lineup is our best in my view
There were a coulple times tha Campbell flat set the corner that enabled good runs Castles enabled Sampson to turn the corner for a 1st down Title: Re: 237 yards rushing today Post by: BanditVol on October 15, 2023, 04:37:42 EDT AM was only giving up 87 average running IIRC. Great job and a lot of it was tough yards. Yep! And they jammed a lot of our interior runs pretty good, but not all of them. 😀 Title: Re: 237 yards rushing today Post by: BanditVol on October 15, 2023, 04:39:48 EDT I?ll enjoy this win tonight.

I?m expecting UT to be a double digit underdog next week, so let it all hang out. I agree with most of this. I doubt the double digit part. Bammer only beat Arky by 3 today. I think the spread will be similar to their game vs Tamu, about a TD Title: Re: 237 yards rushing today Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on October 15, 2023, 04:49:52 EDT Miami, Auburn, Arky, and Bama ran for a combined 330 yards on TAMU.
Tennessee had 232 tonight. Title: Re: 237 yards rushing today Post by: japanvol on October 15, 2023, 04:53:16 EDT Usually the lines are pretty close to the difference in Sagarin ratings after an adjustment for home field advantage (≈3 points). Going into today UT?s rating was 86.08 and Texas A&M was 85.26. Add 3 points to UT for home field advantage and the difference is almost spot on to the 3.5 game spread.
Alabama?s rating before today?s game was 92.03. Add 3 points for home field and you get a difference of ≈ 9 points. I would have to say Alabama has played a better schedule and has looked more complete so far this year, and they have the revenge factor, so I would expect the line to come out at 10. We?ll see. Hopefully Heupel will have some tricks up his sleeve for next week. Thought we would see some today after the bye week. Maybe being a big underdog and fewer expectations will help Joe?s performance. It can?t hurt.
