Settle For a FG?????

[DOCTORLOOMIS]

With nothing to lose....at home against a superior team you're supppsed to lose to by 20....and you don't even try for the first down or possible TD on 4th and 1?????? You settle for a FG???? Wow.

Better than 0

 

[RoaminVol]

Dude calm down

 

[neyland05]

Some what agree but needed to keep momentum with the offense by getting points

 

[UTK]

No he's right. Butch needs to grow some. Show faith in his offense.

 

[VolsinSC]

He's playing it safe which is ridiculous. Roll the dice for once coach! If you fail, go down swinging.

 

[barney]

I mean, if we hadn't converted on 4th down, it would have meant no points.

 

[chuckb1448]

I WANT to agree but we did not move the ball with Our Only Impact player courtesy of ESPN so may as well get 3

 

[09dunbar]

Would you have faith in this offensive line to get that one yard after aj just got stuffed on 3rd and 1? cmon man really?

 

[jacobyvoln27]

Wow your lack of football knowledge is remarkable! You were embarrassed in the first quarter! Get points on the board before the half! Keep it respectable. Do not lose the team and win 3 of the last 4!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

If we go and don't get it....yikes. Smart move by Butch imo.

 

[volpreacher]

He doesn't get any points, the momentum leaves. I believe this is going to come down to the end guys.

 

[cyclonevol87]

He needs to pull his skirt up and grab his ballz and play to win not keep it close.

 

[tennengr]

No he's right. Butch needs to grow some. Show faith in his offense.

Show faith in this offense. AJ blew it by dancing around. Take the 3 all day long since they are getting the ball to start the 3rd qtr.

Read the bolded part back to yourself and try not to laugh.

 

[mcompton]

Lulz...I can't believe UT isn't hiring coaches off this board. They'd be way cheaper and apparently have all the answers.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

He needs to pull his skirt up and grab his ballz and play to win not keep it close.

He is playing to win, thats why he took the points. He trusts his defense to settle down and play like they are capable of.

 

[goldenvol]

I think Jones body of work has shown he is very conservative and old school.

 

[orangerush]

Trying to cover the point spread

 

[rclaytons13]

We are huge underdogs at home, down 20 and we run our linebacker up the middle when everybody in the free world knew what we were about to do; behind a line that's been poor all year??!! And then we kick a field goal!!' Really....? Really...? Freaking go for it! Give yourself a chance. Who cares if you lose, your supposed to lose but give yourself a chance. I literally came unglued and I'm not one of those fans that comes unglued. That, in my opinion, is DUMB

This is correct. Get the damn points.

 

[KBVol]

Had little problem with it. Would've preferred he went for it, but get points on the board. What if you go for it with :30 left and don't get it? Now you lose the opportunity to score and with so little time left, you don't gain the field position edge. Just take the points.

 

[OWB]

Was the right move.

I agree totally Bro but everybody in the friggin country knew what A.J. was gonna do. Just seems like sometime this year "Damn the torpedo's" and go for a fade or somethin. My wife is already mad cause I won't be positive but frankly I'm tired of the glass half full BS.....Commish:banghead2:
