Official Vandy UK game thread

You do that to get guys in the game. Especially receivers. They need touches to be engaged. Brown and Key have been disappointing early on, we need them involved

I know that's the thought process behind it but I don't like it. Run offense and let touches come naturally. Otherwise you get what we often get which is a lost down or turnover. Wrs will get touches and even if they don't - it's a team sport.

I like getting up this early. Put in your backups and if it starts to get shaky, you can put your starters back in.

Our D is waaaay overmatching Vandy.
Yup, our defense came to play today. Luckily for us, looks like the offense might have too. Would love to see a complete game from these guys, would be a perfect time with UF coming up.

Gotta bring the balance. Celebrate what looks to be a good solid win, but remind ourselves we've got a real game next week.

UF is playing the mighty Charlotte today, so, they aren't going to have much of a game.

Gotta be ready for a slug fest next week.

Right thought. Wrong decade.
You don't keep these top players happy, the phone starts ringing......Transfer Portal calling.

True, I think today, with Florida coming up, they want these guys going.

That 2nd down play is exactly why you shouldn't hunt touches for a player. Brown whiffs on a block that got Davis rocked, costing us a first down and almost the ball.

I mentioned last year at times brown isn't the best teammate. Didn't run hard routes when he knew he wasn't getting the ball. Not engaged in blocking.

If you have to force feed/coddle someone that doesn't want to block, then just let them go. Yes I know he has incredible big play potential but he misses on so many other effort aspects of the game.

Plus you have other guys not getting touches, so you risk losing them too.
