Re-watching UT v ATM game on SEC network…

[Bevo92]

Five clear takeaways:

 

1) Damn, Tre Wisner showed up bigtime.   33 for 186 yards plus 21 yards in the air.   Lots of runs where he was barreling downhill, not expected given his size.  

2) Quinn’s pick six when we should have scored from redzone combined with strip fumble in redzone made this game way closer than it should have been on scoreboard. 

3) Special Teams Disaster (missed FG, blocked punt, etc).   This seems to be the area we may improve the most and that could equal + 1.5 games. 

4) Isaiah Bond was an absolute liability the entire second half of season but his performance against ATM was abysmal.   He just gave up on repeated plays.   What a waist.    Yes, Golden took his game to next level as regular season wrapped up then into playoffs but it’s exciting to think how much our overall starting Top4 will be this year.  

5) On 4th and goal from 1yd line up by 10 points with mins left in game, that rush around the end by Ethan Burke for 3yd loss was AWESOME.   Looking forward to more of that this season. 
 

Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

What was impressive about the Burke play, is if he had missed, Broughton was right there in the backfield to stuff that lane. But yeah, that was another game that we made closer than it needed to be and probably closer than the final score indicated.

Complete domination by us along the lines of scrimmage was the theme of that game. The score aka quinn’s two turnovers made it seem way closer than it was in reality.

Bond was a minus player after injury.

Over the summer I have re-watched the games from last season.

Bond was very good early in the season and dropped off after the injury.

Just as he was getting re-established he got hurt again. After that second injury (or the tweak of the original, whichever it was) he was never productive again.

Like many WRs, he seemed to be psychologically fragile about his injury...or he violated the old rule of thumb about "Never let 'em see you sweat." He couldn't play through the pain, etc, and it bothered him so much it affected his performance and contribution to the team.

I agree with you and when I saw the game replays it was worse than I remembered.
