Vandy usually brings their best when playing UT. It is a fundamentally sound team most games. Their O-line is really good at holding and getting away with it, so our guys need to speed rush with zone blitzes and create as much havoc as possible with our safeties prepared to clean up the whiffs up front. Butch needs to work the officials on the holding. Vandy will not want to get into a shoot out because they are ball control O. So Debored and Butch need for it to become a shoot out. The D needs to play assignments - stay in their gaps and contain their O for just FG's.

Make it be 9-3. It isn't until it is and this will probably be a tough game.

Mcelwain for Vandy looks like the Ginger has souls kid from the Internet

 

[Aesius]

I watch these other teams play and nobody ever gets hurt. Our guys go down more then any team I've ever witnessed

We had very few in-season injuries the first 3 years under Butch, too. Not sure if the issue this season was S&C or fall camp preparation or both. Or perhaps just a mountain of bad luck after staying relatively healthy 2013-2015.

What video did the officials have that we didn't????


That's BS

Big time

They made an assumption that he caught it

 

[InVOLuntary]

Why would UT agree to negotiate down on his buyout, especially when we're in limbo with the Chancellor and AD?

Chancellor will be announced shortly, AD to follow quickly. Would you as an institution want to keep someone around that doesn't want to be there?

As much as I hate to say it... I'd kill not to have to play Bama every year. We would be so much more competitive in the East

Yep. Still not as bad as that 1st down they gave to vandy against us in Butch's first year.

Eff that. We will have our time again over them. I'm not running from anyone. It's time we smack them in the mouth

What

 

[drvenner]

Hmmm.. lets think about it. Do you have multiple starters quitting mid season at Florida?

So, one is "multiple" now? Hmmm....

We had a lot last season too though. Not nearly as bad as this season, but bad nonetheless.


As far as our wideouts go, this is the first season our top 2-3 have all stayed relatively healthy all season since Butch came in. So that's improvement at least.

Not sure who wins ATP.

Preston williams wasn't a starter? Hmmm....

It's true. You take a rotation and 3'outnof 4 years you might have an extra win. At least a better chance.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Preston williams wasn't a starter? Hmmm....

Maybe week one.

By the time he transferred he was 2nd string.


Still seemed to be a factor in the future of our passing game, but 2nd stri nonetheless.

Question: whose tenure was worse? Dooley at TN or Strong at TX?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Preston williams wasn't a starter? Hmmm....

He wasn't very good though. He wasn't fast. He couldn't catch and he wasn't physical. Forget his star rating, he sucked on the field and his attitude was trash.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Question: whose tenure was worse? Dooley at TN or Strong at TX?

Strong. Plays in a joke conference too

 

[volatil]

I'm just saying

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Question: whose tenure was worse? Dooley at TN or Strong at TX?

Dooley, easy.

Strong had at least recruited relatively well (not to Texas' full potential, but well nonetheless) and the next guy will have enough talent to be competitive.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Question: whose tenure was worse? Dooley at TN or Strong at TX?

Strong at least beat a couple ranked teams

 

[volatil]

Dooley set the sport of football back a hundred years.
