Scouting Report: Games of the Bye Week

by David Hooper on Sep 6, 2008 1:50 AM EDT in College Football

Like last week, here is your general discussion thread for non-UT football games. That should be simple this week since UT has a bye. This is a very relaxed thread; if you see something that interests you, toss a quick line this direction. We're not expecting huge community conventions or anything, but we'd like to know what you're seeing around the league. Does Auburn's offense look any better or worse than ours? Did Vanderbilt look good enough to give UT a serious run for their money? Inquiring fans want to know!

Recruiting battle in the Sunshine State

Would absolutely love to see Miami at least give Florida a good game and mitigate the Gators’ recruiting advantage in FL.

Go Vols!

i'll be watching Auburn this morning

i am actually a booger alum…and they are hands down this native Vol’s (2nd) favorite team in the SEC.

I hope to report at halftime that Todd is throwing to Auburn receivers today. Also, freshman RB Eric Smith is a beast waiting to rise and destroy.

Don't really know what to make of Vandy-Steve Spurrier

I missed the 1st half and then fell asleep trying to stay up for the 4th quarter.

From what little I saw, Vandy appeared terribly outmanned from a talent perspective (no surprise there). But they’re scrappy, and if you make a bunch of mistakes against them like Steve Spurrier did, it could bite you.

And I know someone who made a lot of mistakes in their first game…

Game plan against Tebow

on display, courtesy of Miami. Pressure. More pressure, and still more pressure.

Is Miami using a 4-3 or a 3-4?

by David Hooper on Sep 6, 2008 9:54 PM EDT up reply actions

Mostly 4-3

but they mixed it up. Stopped working in the fourth.

Go Vols!

The game turned when the refs got involved

That overturned call was ridiculous. If they had the same views ESPN had, there’s no way to tell if he still had control of the ball when his elbow hit the ground. No way to tell = No way to overturn the incomplete call on the field. I don’t know why any visiting team would allow the home team to use its conference’s referees (BYU vs Washington notwithstanding). Put it in the contract that “we bring our refs or we get some other conference’s refs, but you ain’t using your home-cooked referees.”

Also Miami Offensive Coordinator, Patrick Nix, might have a little Chavis blood in him. He went into the prevent offense with Miami down 7-3 in the 2nd quarter, the result: a blocked punt for a safety.
