Yay...

Spencer Hall is always entertaining on these… and I’m probably one of the few people that still finds Clay Travis hilarious.

wow

sounds high to me. I would’ve expected more like 6.5

A little high, IMO. 6 or 7 is about where it should be.

Ok Will,

you put the Wyoming/BGSU game on the map. You deserve to be reminded that the Clawfense is absolutely rolling out of the gates this year. Level of competition or no, 90 points in 2 games is impressive.

I'm currently 6th overall in the picks

If they keep winning, I’m going to have to keep their games out of the lineup for my own protection.

Boise State at Toledo (Fri)

Stanford at Arizona
West Virginia at Maryland
Wyoming at Bowling Green
Ole Miss at Vanderbilt

I'm buying that Bray is legit.

Too legit to quit even.

Andy dropping the “2-0 start is a mere formality” early. Haha.

Though we don’t play people like y’all either.

I think it goes back to Bray's reads

Cincy brought extra rushers several times yesterday and Bray made the right hot read every time.

Let's slow our roll on this 2013 draft business

We’ve seen 2 solid games from these guys against questionable opposition. Call me after Florida, LSU, or Alabama.

The line is...

…eh, just copy/paste my answer from last week.

It’s funny because when I’m down here, folks say, “You’re not from here, are you?” And when I’m back in Illinois now, they say, “You’re not from here, are you?”

I’m #nowhere.

So will that negate who wins the rushing yards wins the game?

I’m all for slangin’ the pigskin 50 times…but the whole we need to run to win vs Florida?

by RockyTopinKY on Sep 11, 2011 9:42 PM EDT reply actions  

I like Will’s point on that. When we tried to do it with passing, it wasn’t our passing that did us in, it was theirs.

Chief Editor, Rocky Top Talk. Chief in Charge of Woo, Gameday Depot.

by Joel Hollingsworth on Sep 11, 2011 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

Their passing...

and in 95 in particular it was fumbles when we did run.

by Caban on Sep 11, 2011 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

You don't "need" to run to win any game...

You need to do whatever gets you the most points.

It used to drive me completely nuts when Fulmer would call run after run when our passing game was clicking.

by Caban on Sep 11, 2011 9:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

Like when they ask coaches what they need to do to win

I really want one of them to answer, “Score more points than the other team.”

by VolnVA on Sep 11, 2011 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think you mean Cutcliffe or Sanders

I almost added ‘or Clawson’ but you did have the “when our passing game was clicking” caveat.

I'm absolutely in support of this.

I was coming from the angle that EVERY year when we play the stat that is shown is the team that has the rushing yards takes the cake…with one exception when we won several years ago.

sweet. mother. of. breadsticks.

by RockyTopinKY on Sep 11, 2011 9:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

Think 2000 was a pretty big exception too...

Henry went for close to 200 yards… Generally it seems like the team with the more rushing yards is either running out the clock late or the other team is just getting killed on the line and can’t do much of anything reliably.

by Caban on Sep 11, 2011 9:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

good point.

That was the year I was thinking too.

by RockyTopinKY on Sep 11, 2011 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

First loss I ever witnessed in person

And, yes, I’m one of the people who remembers that Gaffney’s catch was only on 2nd down.

by VolnVA on Sep 11, 2011 10:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

As a Gator fan...

it disturbs me greatly to hear all these Vols advocating for a massive passing attack. Combine that with most Gators hoping for a run-heavy UF attack, and the whole world has gone sideways.

Because if it's about Brantley going in the ocean, the answer is "No."

by Troll2Troll on Sep 11, 2011 9:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Need to research that this week.

This is likely my Thursday post (assuming I, y’know, don’t have my apartment collapse again).

by Chris Pendley on Sep 11, 2011 9:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

Saban-ish hybrid

4-3 / 3-4 with Ronald Powell as the Buck who goes in between. Powell has struggled greatly, but he hasn’t had any help because UF has blitzed once by my count so far this season.

The coverages have been…zone, I suppose. As bland as the UF offense has been, the defense has arguably been even more restrained.

The biggest problems I’ve seen with the Florida defense has been the corners (uh oh) and the edge rush. The interior rush has been great, and the edge will be helped once they open up the blitzes. The corners are a big problem. Specifically one corner.

To be frank, if I was UT, I’d do exactly what Clay suggested. Air it out, especially with quick timing plays.

Because if it's about Brantley going in the ocean, the answer is "No."

by Troll2Troll on Sep 11, 2011 9:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

I would raise the point...

That LSU’s offense ranks #89 in the country after playing Northwestern State and Oregon.

They are still vulnerable, and that Oregon score was slightly misleading.

by Caban on Sep 11, 2011 9:54 PM EDT reply actions  

We lose...

and Bray looks great, then I’ll still be pulling for an East title.

by Caban on Sep 11, 2011 9:57 PM EDT reply actions  

I'm going to enjoy it

AND spend the week counting down every minute

by VolnVA on Sep 11, 2011 10:01 PM EDT reply actions  

this.

sweet. mother. of. breadsticks.

by RockyTopinKY on Sep 11, 2011 10:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm ready for that

I stumbled upon y’all in the summer of ‘09 and it’s been a rough couple of years. Let’s win and bring on 2 weeks of unbridled and ridiculous optimism.

by VolnVA on Sep 11, 2011 10:04 PM EDT reply actions  

We haven't been ranked since preseason 2008...

We’re going to be ranked next week… you gotta believe!
