This may be sacrilegious, but this harkens to my favorite rant from little man Saban. They were preparing to face a non-Power 5 opponent and one of the reporters asked something about getting to see some other guys in the game. Saban went off on the guy about how he wasn't planning on how he was going to get his depth chart some work in the game, he was planning to make sure that they won the game (novel concept, huh?).

To illustrate his point, he referred to having played Georgia Southern a few years earlier, and apparently GA Southern had some success running the ball for a portion of the game. Recollecting it, Saban says, "And they ran through our ass like sh!t through a tin horn, man. And we could not stop them. Could not stop them. Could not stop them because we could not get a look in practice."

The only redeeming factor about Nick Saban is that when he retires he will have no warm feelings about the Alabama Crimson Tide or Tuscaloosa. They just happened to give him the keys to the kingdom and make him the most powerful man in the state.

He is talking about the 4th Quarter with roughly 2mins 30secs left on 4th and 3. JG had forever to throw and he threw it out of bounds.

Yeah, I didn’t really understand the route tree either. Every shot we took seemed like a sideline streak. Should be able to throw over the middle vs Ga St.

My thing is even if the play didn’t develop properly who cares it’s 4th and 3 in the 4th Quarter down two scores with 2mins 30secs left .

I don’t care who you are you better fight and claw to get that dang 3 yards at least show some heart.

But JG nope shows no fight and throws it out of bounds. If you aren’t going to fight for the win you don’t need to be the centerpiece of the offense.

He didn't want to hurt his stats with another in-completion , sack or int.

Anyone read Ubben's article dissecting run defense?
Click to expand...

I've heard him in a couple of interviews this week and he said that we didn't get blown off the ball as much as we got "strategically moved" in a direction the offense wanted us to go. I think a lot of that has to do with inexperience and overreaction to misdirection, which is fixable. Of course, we are going to start playing O-lines that are capable driving us 2-3 yards back pretty soon.

I guess my thing is we seem to be giving a lot of the players a pass for just not taking Saturday serious enough but for JG it’s a defining moment that he will never get over the hump.


Imo if Chaney can get our running game going He can call the right mix of pass plays that allow JG to be successful as a one read guy. I still think he can lead up to a bowl game IF the defense gets better.

It goes both ways. If the defense is stacking the box to stop the run you have to be able to punish the defense. It's a symbiotic relationship between the run and pass game.

I noticed during Saturday's game we didn't try any of the quick stuff despite many times the DB playing off. I'm befuddled at the ineptitude of our passing game and I think JG bears a decent amount of the blame. Imo

Not going to say he has no fight, but...simply, you have to be smarter than that..

He's not wrong. It's the LBs that couldn't do their job that cost the team

I think it had more to do with a lack of scouting. GaState had a new OC and a new offense. CJP said in his Tuesday interview that they did not know what offense GaState was going to run.
They would have known if they had watched film on Western Carolina or Appy State or even film from GaState spring game. They ran Scott Satterfield’s offense from Appy State and what he is running at Louisville now. Lots of zone read with options, sweeps, and reverses mixed in.
I knew what offense they were going to run, why didn’t our staff?

BYU’s radio play by play guy was on WNML yesterday and it was pretty interesting.

Basically said they felt like Utah got them out of their game early and two pick 6’s made the score look worse than it actually was.

He said much like Tennessee he expects BYU to come out and try to establish the run.

Their top RB, TySon Williams, transferred in from South Carolina and has played in neyland before and had some success against us. He said he thinks that will help them because he’ll be able to tell his teammates what to expect.

He won’t be able to tell his teammates how the defence will line up

The issue is you picked 3 of the most extreme examples where the reasoning isn't the same for our situation or most of the rest of the programs in college football. 2 took over programs they were already in and those programs were ultra successful. The other was protégé to the greatest hc ever for a long time AND took over a successful program. Yes, there is also the common denominator that none had been HC before; but that really isn't the most important common denominator to focus on.

When people are suggesting that our coach has no prior head coaching experience, it certainly is. We aren’t hiring a high level head coach, and Dooley and Butch had been head coaches. But keep believing what you do.

Absolutely awesome
Vol Nation rallies behind Florida elementary student bullied for homemade UT shirt

We hope you have discussed the consequences of bullying with the children in your class because in Tennessee 'you mess with one of us- you mess with all of us."

With the help of the Vol Shop and other departments on campus, the little Vol fan will be getting the surprise of his life.

"We've all collectively come together and we're sending him what we call a Volunteer Proud Pack," said Jimmy Delaney with UT Fan Experience.

The "care package" will have notebooks, a hat, jersey and signed football from head coach Jeremy Pruitt.

And that homemade design isn't going anywhere. The Vol Shop sent an image of the shirt to be printed, hopefully to hit shelves soon after it gets approval from licensing.
