You made it
6-6. Could be better. Could be 7-5 (UF game). Could be worse. Could be 4-8 (USC and Vandy games). But whatever. Snap and clear. Youre going bowling!! At the end of the day, after the emotions from a close win over little brother out west, heres my thoughts on the season as a whole:
As a fan, I saw flashes of greatness. On offense, Hurd, Dobbs, Pig, Malone, and North made some special plays this year in some clutch moments. I could get used to that becoming more of a routine. I believe it will.
On defense, Barnett will be a Vol legend by the time your career is over. TKjr will be giving a no-no finger waggle to the SEC east for at least two more years, and Cam Sutton gonna Cam Sutton. Love it. Curt, thanks for being a true leader and giving your all every down. JRM = Stud. Armed and dangerous sideline to sideline.
Special teams: Medley will win us some BIG games in the coming seasons. Coverage was great all year as well. Great turnaround Mr. Darr!
I saw a sufficient amount of doo doo. The offensive line offended me at times, thats for sure. But hey, live to fight another day. I believe you can be the most improved unit in the country next year. We saw our share of injuries, some nagging, some nasty. All costly to depth and talent levels. We got some really bad calls by refs. The playcalling seemed suspect sometimes (at least to us with an amateur eye), but other times things worked like they were drawn up. The more the team grows and executes, I think Coach Jake might get labeled The Mad Scientist in a couple of years. We lost our leader and some quality talent in what is a bad situation for everyone involved.
We lost to Missouri again.
However, way to fight through all the adversity!
So here you stand. Ready for a bowl against a quality opponent. Some time to get healthy. Some time to game plan. Some time for the young players AND coaches to continue to grow. Most importantly its December and theres still Tennessee Football to look forward to!
Congrats team 118. Game of inches, Brick by Brick, 63 effort, whatever you want to call it, you young men accomplished your goal in the face of all types of difficult situations and obstacles. Hats off, and go get that 7th win! We as fans are very proud of you!
