My biggest concern

Unread post by sixtoes9134 » Fri Sep 02, 2016 5:46 am

Is that Tennessee just isn't a very good team and may be way overrated.

they may be over rated but I can guarantee you they are better than any team we will face in the Sun Belt. I think it is safe to celebrate our effort last night against a legit SEC team.

We are legit. We are expected to be good and we are.

I could care less about Tennessee and how they are rated. We have a real big boy defense, that much is clear. Lots to feel good about without worrying about Tennessee.

I hope that UT runs the table as do we. I also hope that at seasons end this game end up being one of the toughest that UT played. No idea how it will shake out but if we bring this intensity to our next 11 games we will have a special season. I was impressed with our depth and hitting. Our D swarmed to the ball and our offensive line more than held its own. I have zero concerns

Many people speculated that, if we beat Tennessee, everyone would write it off as a fluke or that Tennessee was over rated. It seems that we are doing it to ourselves now (even without the W).

I saw a LOT about last night to get me excited. App is a legit team!

You are spot on. However, that doesn't mean there aren't some concerns or questions yet to be answered. September 10 can't get here soon enough.

Loved watching all that gang tackling! Duck did a great job.

Entire defense was redonk, Oline was great, Cox was incredible, return game was good as well as coverage for the most part. I think our kicking game and passing game will come around. Need to take ODU seriously next weekend, they are probably looking for redemption from last year and I can imagine it is difficult for the players to take them seriously after they beat them with such ease.

Kudos to Critcher...he held up his end of the kicking game. He remains a key ingredient to our success. I do hope, and believe he will, that Rubino finds his groove. I certainly don't want to have Critcher handle all three aspects of the kicking game.
