TENN defense soft as butter in the desert

You just can't have an air raid offense and have a physical defense. When a team does that it will be a first, look at Lincoln Riley's teams

I disagree. The problem isn't just physicality. When you run a fast paced offense like Riley, Heupel you leave your defense more vulnerable when you can't sustain drives. Defenses naturally wear down when they are on the field for extended amounts of time. It's great when you're scoring.

UGA throws more than UT.

They also have a far better defense.

Uga does it methodical. It’s not pretty but effective. They use finesse and power. I mean they have a te running end arounds, go routes and carrying the ball. Then another te that’s a T, wr, Te in the same body. This is the exception to the rule and a lot more than “ physicality “

There’s 3 5* guys on that UT line and they’re getting mauled and all 3 are NFL guys.

Its scheme.

shut it Mario. This scheme just put up 52 against bama, the 11th best defense in the country. Marios offense couldn’t score 52 points in 3 games Against dog**** teams. For reference, we have 86 points in 5 games against fbs opponents.

The funny thing is UT is pretty **** physical, they run the ball well. They’re just not that talented. They have guys in places but the scheme is what’s gotten them here. The talent discrepancy in this game is night and day different.

People think Tennessee has more talent than they do but they had a lot of guys transfers when Pruitt left and they’re pretty thin on talented guys. Butch Jones did a great job recruiting but was a cultural cancer and that was a long time ago.

Compare that to Georgia that is the most talented group in the country and you can see why Georgia remains the best team in the country.

Tennessee’s scheme helps them win consistently against teams around their talent level and beat teams occasionally more talented than them (Bama) but scheme isn’t supreme talent still matters lol

Yep. UGA has the perfect storm. A good coach thats seen how you build and run this type of program. The access and means to get majority elite recruits while playing in the best conference , yet being in a very easy division. It’s the perfect situation.

Tennessee lost to Purdue, Florida and Pittsburgh last year. They don't have sustained excellence slow down bud.

Cause they focus on labels instead of what’s actually going on. People hear spread and think its not physical and hear pro style and think it can’t be wide open

Right.

And think all spread offenses are the same. They’re not.

Decades ago the original air raid/run-shoot teams had less talent and did need to scheme to compete, and frankly be entertaining. Their HCs thought they could just outscore everyone. They couldn’t when they stepped up in competition and usually had bad defenses and less talent. They had few if any elite players.

Over time HCs with the best players integrated different spread concepts.

And it’s spilling up into the NFL.

Georgia was already an elite program when Kirby took over, but Mario should have a lot of the same advantages here that Kirby has at Georgia.

ACC is butt cheeks, he’s been in Saban’s system (although for less time but it seems like he has tried to model his coaching style and program after Saban’s) our boosters are providing the means for us to excel in recruiting and opening the check books to bring in top notch coaching staffs.

We need Mario to get a better scheme but with time I do expect us to be a much, much stronger program than when he arrived

It was their first year with the new coaching staff who overhauled their scheme and they lost a ton of players to transfers.

I agree that one year isn’t a sustained consistency yet, but the same way I cut Mario some slack for his first year without his guys and a new scheme i don’t hold heupel’s first year at Tennessee too much against him.

This year Tennessee has beaten teams they should beat and teams they shouldn’t beat. Looks like they’re finally getting humbled by the best team in the country but the talent discrepancy between these teams is so crazy I don’t think anyone should be surprised by the result

Let’s be real , how many people here thought Kirby would be doing this? I know I was wrong. I didn’t see natty’s coming.

Not to pay myself on the back but I think I can say I saw it coming. I have some post way back on this forum pre-national championship lol.

I'm certainly not surprised I'm always weary of this offense style because it can go bad real quick.
