UT at Arky
« on: October 06, 2024, 11:05:14 AM »
This can be moved, later... 

I watched the game in its entirety though only passed through shoutbox a couple times.  

They threw that game.  Period. It was especially evident on the last TD and the no calls leading to it... the players literally making a path for the QB is unquestionable.  

I'm not trying to diminish arky- they played hard.. but that game was thrown beyond any doubt in my mind.  Has the wagering fully taken over, now?

It did look suspect. After Ark QB went out. It was over... Defense stopped playing on the last Ark drive.

Could not disagree more.
Poor planning ...yes, Poor execution...yes, poor performance...yes. For whatever reason the Vols have always under performed in Fayetteville but to say they threw the game? Absurd!!!
I almost threw a shoe through the TV on the last play but Nico going out of bounds is more due to inexperience and possibly panic than anything.

I think the defense was gassed on the last series. The offense had done nothing almost the entire game and as result the defense had played 3/4 of the game. I'm still wondering whatever happened to our unstoppable offense.

They let them score, yes. 

It was the only way we were getting the ball back with a chance to win. 

Stuff them and they burn the clock, and kick a chip shot FG for the win.

That is what I think. Shame it had to come to that.

They had one DL we never seemed to stop.

Nico was off as well
President Harry S. Truman said: “The fundamental basis of this nation’s laws was given to Moses on the Mount.  The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings…  If we don't have the proper fundamental moral background, we will finally wind up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the state.

There was a hold that should have been called earlier in that last series. There is a great screen shot of it that I saw.

Nevertheless after the two minute time out they did let them score.  That though in my opinion is the correct call. Arky actually almost blew it by scoring with so much time left.  They should have took a knee on the one yard line to run more clock.  They let Tennessee have a shot to take it back.  After the big play to get to around the 20 our next set of downs was horrible ending with the milton out of bounds ending play. Maybe that is inexperience on Nico but in that case you have to force a throw. An interception is meaningless because we lose no matter what.

But the letting them score late was absolutely the correct call to me.

The major criticism I had was after we had the long completion on the last drive we had 35-40 seconds left with two time outs but did not call time out and as a result had very little time left..In our haste we had a bad snap and blew more tme and lost a down. We could have called time out and called the next 2-3 plays and improved our chances atremendously.

Nico may not be as good as advertised.

No easy games in the SEC. See Vandy.

Josh has done a lot of good things since he has been here.  Clock management and taking timeouts appropriately is NOT one of them.

My thought were was that he was trying to get a play off before Arkansas could set up the proper defense...in this case it was the wrong decision.
