I have never seen a trainwreck of bad luck and poor execution the likes of which happened last night in my life. If you were to tell me before the game that we would outgain florida, hold them to 1 of 5 on 3rd down and never punt in the first half id have been harder than a diamond. Id have thought we were up 20 at half. Sadly the offensive line and the worst run of errors ive ever seen derailed us from the getgo. 6 turnovers. 24 of the gators first 33 points off of them. The worst part is, while there were some questionable play calls, several of our chances at big momentum changers couldnt have gone any worse. Catch them off guard with a brilliant play on 4th and 1 and the TE tries to make a play and fumbles it. Catch them off guard with a damn good onside kick and 4 guys try to be heroes instead of JUST ONE of them clearing the single gator receiver who was in the way. TN beat themselves and the Gators capitalized beautifully. Tale as old as time.

ZERO SEC wins last year and an average recruiting class in 2018 will more than likely get you ZERO SEC wins this year. 2019 will not be much better, but one can always rely on VolNation Sunshine Pumpers to talk about 10-2 or 9-3 wins every preseason.

Pruitt said he called the goal line defense on the 50 yard line to try to give our guys a chance to get back in the ball game even though he knew if Florida broke the line of scrimmage they'd have a touchdown. I was wondering if Nick Saban would have allowed him to make that call. I think Pruitt's play calling has given up 4 TDs so far this season on explosive plays. As a head coach this is his first time operating without any checks on his decision making.

Trading the markets exposes a lot of human weaknesses and tendencies. One of those is called revenge trading. The trader just took a loss or a series of losses and vows to get his money back. So he forfeits any patience and goes with revenge trading. It doesn't work mostly because it's driven by emotion and not discipline. I don’t know yet and time will tell but we may have a revenge coach. Usually revenge traders get wiped out and lose everything. Let’s hope this is not our destiny.

He also doesn't have all Americans at every position to increase his odds at success. He's never had to do more with less.

I’m confused by Sapps response. Admittedly I didn’t see a sideline altercation. Not sure why Pruitt would lie but we were lied to a lot by Butch so I know it happens. Probably be some big roster turnover between now and next season

I could see Smart playing the bench early to avoid injuries. UGA looks to be a playoff team and running up the score against a bad UT team doesn't buy him much. His second and third stringers probably could beat us fairly handily, especially with the Vols' tendency not to show up in the first qtr.

You don't know what happened...hell, nobody on here knows what happened. So stop persecuting the kid that has been through a hell of a lot during his time here. The truth will come out. If Sapp is lying then we'll just chalk it up as another Butch recruit that needs to be purged. If Pruitt is lying.....then that's not a good look at all and just adds to the doubt that maybe he is in over his head.

It’s a very, very immature way for Sapp to handle this.

Not a good look for him.

The onside kick was a great call. Unfortunately 4 of our guys were watching the 1 Florida player attack the ball. That Florida player should have been wrecked.

Oh i lost my mind on that. 4 guys playing hero ball let a single Gator recover. Theres always supposed to be a "clear out" guy who just murders that front line dude and the rest grt the ball. What a great kick too.

doesn't matter what happened. what matters is sapp is publicly challenging the head coach.

Either way it's dumb for him to post that.
