It's very evident after tonight.

[VolFanInHawaii]

I hate all of you.

Good, because we all hate you too. Just kidding, but Butch really is turning into the Doolster 2.0, I just haven't found a stupid thing to call butch yet. Maybe the Butcher of whereever utah state is?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Defense is solid. Offense is hot garbage.

 

[DeansRedHalo]

It isn't customary for a team to get WORSE as a season carries on. Especially young players. If injuries at key positions were ravaging us that would be one thing, but our young players clearly are regressing.

 

[Mtncityvol10]

We are slowly turning into Colorado program of SEC. Relevant program during 90s, but nobody talks about anymore. I think we are a few years behind. If we can't turn around within 2 years, we will be cellar programs of SEC for a long long long time like Colorado has been in Big 12 and PAC 12 past 7-9 years.

 

[Volstate]

You people act like you had any of these games the Vols lost as W's beginning of the year.

 

[gjrvol]

Time for a change of some kind. It is lunacy to do the same thing and think you are going to get a different outcome

 

[tampavolsfan]

Butch uses digress when he means regress. I'm sure that was a poke at him. Well played on the op's part.

Bingo.

 

[1972 Grad]

This team is digressing. The only way a coach can keep the fan base energized and unified, while asking them to be patient and trust the process, is if the fans see progress by the team and the coaching staff on the field. "Be patient" and "trust the process" wears thin without the onfield progress.

Well played using Butch's words against him.

 

[TBtheGBwiththeTD]

I can't believe the level of stupid around here.

**** you guys.

 

[CornDontGrow]

When is the last time we looked explosive on offense? We get one awesome 18 yard pass and then we got 3 and out... we get a sweet play here and then get stuffed for 3 downs in a row.

We just don't have the momentum we need to win, the offense is just constantly struggling to keep the chains moving or even to stay in front of the chains.

 

[SlyStone]

Will be interesting how the fan base will feel if this team doesn't go to a Bowl this season.

 

[thetennlegend]

If you cannot see the overall product difference this year from last year you are an idiot. But azzani should take over playcalling just my opinion.

 

[KBVol]

True. Our freshmen play like freshmen. Nick Chubb is a freshman and plays like a junior.

Yep. And #27, the undersized DE that's been living in our backfield and absolutely killing us all night...... is a true freshman.

 

[bigorange247]

I don't think this is fair.

1. We are by far the youngest team in the nation.

2. The strech of teams we play in 0ct/Nov is by far the hardest we see all season and you cannot judge this staff based off of these few games. Wait and see how we do down the stretch as a whole. Its hard to say hey we beat UTC but the #3 team is killing us wtf?

Do we not have anybody but freshmen to play? Btw, this is the stretch.

 

[CroKev]

I'd be alright if we'd just beaten Florida...

 

[docfarmer]

How can you watch this team and stay sober?? What part of this team leads you to believe we can beat anyone else on our schedule incliding vandy? We lose by 50 to bama, 40 to mizzou and ky, 30 to usc and. 10 to vandy, all of which are better coached than we are.

 

[KBVol]

Overall??? Absolutely not. Defense yes. Offense is atrocious and special teams are well below average.

 

[thetennlegend]

Do we not have anybody but freshmen to play? Btw, this is the stretch.

6 new starters on d 9 new on offense yeah that's why we suck.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Worley is hurt. We already know Peterman sucks! So what now?

All the Worley haters will see that it's not all on Worley. His line and receivers aren't doing him any favors

 

[utvol372]

It's very obvious to me after tonight that far too many posters want to have a Keith Olbermann "moment".

At the beginning of the year, we all marked this game down as a loss. It played as such.

Our defense is miles improved from two years ago. Two years from now our o-line will be improved and our quarterback will have some amazing weapons to help with the learning curve.

Sigh

 

[omghulkhands]

That is the thing. A lot of them did

 

[thetennlegend]

Overall??? Absolutely not. Defense yes. Offense is atrocious and special teams is well below average.

Special teams is way better. Have you seen a return for a td?? How much has medley improved. Yeah and 9 new starters on offense. That's starting over.

Do you even watch football?

How many sacks did Chattanooga get against our offense? We only win vs. Extremely bad teams. It is very scary to say the least. Our line (and QB as of late) have kept us out of all of our losses. Butch really needs to find help coaching our crap offense. Worley has been a interception throwing machine.
