Tennessee Postgame Discussion

[Acesn8s]

Impossible to know what we actually have, that Tennessee defense was supposed to be elite we could have easily scored over 30, our tackling is still an issue, there are probably 10 or more top 25 teams we would have rather faced then Tennessee in Atlanta. We will know a little more in 4 weeks

 

[anglerman]

I mean Tennessee very well may be the 6th or 7th toughest game on the schedule at the end of the year.

And you know this how ??

 

[hoopsupstate]

Alabama’s defense is almost as bad as SU’s.

 

[gocuse44]

And you know this how ??

Tenn is better than smu and miami

 

[Acesn8s]

Tennessee may also very well be the first or second toughest, who could possibly know?

QB thought. I don’t think Angeli will ever be a reason we lose a game but I don’t think he has top end talent to ever be the reason we win a game. Have to run the ball and play solid defense. Last year our defense was terrible and McCord could use his arm to bail the team out that isn’t going to happen this year regardless if it is Angeli or Collins. Our season will hinge on the defense not QB this year. ERob needs to step up or get replaced.

It's hard to evaluate our team through a critical lens after playing Tennessee. I think Angeli showed a lot of poise. Yasin is a beast. Tennessee's pass rush was scary. Our team has a lot of heart.

UConn will pay.

YES. Make UConn pay. Please.

If this defense can be even mediocre at best, this could be a really good team. But I’m not sure that’ll happen with Robinson as the DC.

He doesn't have the players, what do u want him to do. I guess he can recruit, supposedly..

He had three turnovers today, solid way to lose a game in the feature if that happens again.
Next week will be a good test to see how we fix the issues and tweak what we have.

He had 2 turnovers.

Tennessee has a superb defense ranked 6 tho in the country last year while playing in the SEC. I think we’re a much better team than you think we are. There was a few times where the SU Oline manhandled them in the run game.

There offense was ranked 6th nationally. This is a fantastic program and they might actually be the best team we play.

Well he is known to be one of the best recruiters so I would expect us to have talent but finding out that there is a difference from a recruiter that can recruit any place with any bank like Fran and then people who can only recruit with a factory school and wallet behind them hopefully ERob doesn’t end up being the latter

 

[PAcuse]

He had 2 turnovers.

My bad, still 2 can easily lose a game.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

How drunk are you? Curious

To answer it, no of course not. IT's week one with a bunch of new pieces against a huge spread out offense that is very difficult to defend against. They clean up a few plays and it would have been a bit closer.
They appear to be about a 7ish win team which with our schedule it is a fine season.

Drinking green tea

Those turnovers happened because elite level defensive players make really good plays. Haven’t watched Clemson yet but Tennesse might be the best defense we see as far as individual talent.

I didn't say it was because of anything?
Was just replying to the saying "he won't lose us games", those turnovers could.
That's all I was saying.

 

[AAM62]

I do think they’ll get better. This team has potential to be an 8 win team with this schedule, barring significant injury.

Just keep fighting.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

UCONN looks great, they could bury us

I love SU. I despise UConn

I think UConn comes down to 4th quarter, close game

 

[Trueblue25]

Usual people overreacting. Angeli looked good, we had hiccups, defense was bad. On to next week. We’re an 8 win team.

Notre Dame has immense talent on D, it’s their QB situation that is the unknown.

 

[2B20Again]

Angeli wasn't the problem, he played well I thought, as did the offense on the whole. But on the other hand there were several drives that could have been extended with a mobile QB. Going to have to extend plays against good opponents.

Dead serious, have to be proactive in today’s modern landscape. What’s his buyout?

Let me guess Arch Manning lost the Heisman race this week?

This is year TWO in a major rebuild
Yes for now their is a gap but we've closed it very quickly
Defense can out played by a great offensive scheme and a few more plays, they will be better then last year

with NIL, every year is year one of a major rebuild.
Look at UNC. 70 - seventy! - new players.
