Gibson with very good coverage on their first play
Good coverage and when the receiver looked back he did as well
Something g we didn't do well last week

Disagree with punting at mid field

Apparently this event is on the stupid ESPN+ app. Soo, I'll be watching OSU/Indiana and UF/Ole Miss while using the game tracker for us.

Please note this will only moderately hinder my ability to make definitive declarations about our OTs, and also LBs filling gaps incorrectly.

Our offense sucks

We just bailed them out!

We are playing like our heads are up our asses!

Why are we seemingly grossly inept at all aspects of offense?

This team is flat. They had better wake up. They have already wasted a quarter of the game.

Nice blitz read by Nico and Sampson
Very well read and executed
They learned from a previous play

Why do the Vols seem to get worse as the season goes on under Heuple? Seems like every year. Or is it just my imagination?


Title: Re: Game Thread: UTEP 2024
Post by: volsboy on November 23, 2024, 08:06:42 EST
This is pathetic. Vols should have come out and jumped all over these guys early. Why are they so flat?


Title: Re: Game Thread: UTEP 2024
Post by: PirateVOL on November 23, 2024, 08:06:57 EST
We showed some imagination on that drive
All 19 had to do was stand there and Mathews has the TD (despite being held off the line) by he blocked downfield
Was a nice play call negated by a bad play that had no factor on the score


Title: Re: Game Thread: UTEP 2024

Can you say the Vols might be a playoff team with a straight face? This performance isn't going to help. Vandy would beat them today.

We are playing a LOT of people on defense
Including some dime packages

Boo has the potential to make us compare him to the greats in punt returns
He is simply electric with the ball in his hands

With slow safeties
we've upgrade corner significantly
There is hope that the young safeties will help with athleticism and speed at safety

Brooks has the Tank position this year

With all my bitching
Up 28-0 at the half
Two defensive turnovers, one of which led to a TD and a sack, that led to a TD

Halftime grades
Offense: C+
Defense B-
Special Teams: A
Coaching: C- (two TOs for poor subbing and lack of consistent play calling on offense)

Get Sampson out of the game.

Get Sampson out of the game.
I think they are trying to g to get him to 100 yards

This score is looking aesthetically appealing. No complaints if we hit 50, getting in the 40s was key.


Title: Re: Game Thread: UTEP 2024

Playing a lot of starters at safety

Abysmal first quarters are acceptable when the final looks like this.


Title: Re: Game Thread: UTEP 2024

Yep, they cleaned it up pretty good after that first quarter.

1st quarter grades:
Offense: F
Defense: C-
Special Teams: D-
Coaching: Not observed

Eh, I think you have to give the D a B+ or at least a B. They held them scoreless, and had an int.  Only good play all quarter by UTEP was the trick play.

Offense truly deserved the F though. I'd say F-  :naughty:

Its your imagination.  Believe it or not we had three straight games not scoring in the first half, which ended against UK.  So yeah, there has been improvement from mid-season at least.

Not just yes, but HELL yes.  Period, dot.  :powert:

yes
Because I have knowledge of the game
Says you. I just judge on what I see on the field. Any decent team we have played has made our offense and Nico look mediocre at times. You honestly think this team could be any of the Top 5. I hope you are right.

Nah.  Never acceptable!  Always something to improve on, and we have had all season to do so and have not.


Title: Re: Game Thread: UTEP 2024
Post by: BanditVol on November 23, 2024, 11:02:28 EST
I didn't have a chance to comment during the game, but some comments.

1. The slow offensive start. I am SO tired of this.  I hope it does not occur vs. Vandy.
     a.  I think Nico is too laid back at the start of the game.  He needs to show a bit more fire and passion.
     b.  Why do we call so many passes early in the game (that Nico fizzles up?).  We have Sampson.  Start out running the dam ball!
2. Nice recovery by the offense.
3. Really good performance by the defense.  (And Pirate, this is an "A". You really can't give anything less on a shut out  :laugh:).
4.  Looking forward to Vandy!  I plan to go.

Hopefully none of the injuries were too serious. We had a bunch on the ground and in the tent today. I hate Vandy. They definitely haven't been Vandy like this season. Their QB is a handful.
