6-6 is gone. This year and the ten games remaining are about finding out who wants to be here and who doesn’t. Open competition every week. Learn and get ready for next year. Play Harrison and Crouch. Give the QBs a look.

Let’s go Pruitt, this isn’t over. Quit being PC and start just being a gritty dude who loves football and loves us against the world.

Sure I may be optimistic but isn’t that better then wallowing in misery. Let’s go!!!! Beat Chattanooga!!!

Oh yeah, it’s absolutely telling that the majority of guys out there making plays are Pruitt recruits also. The defense will be good under him. No doubt.

Yep, makes me sick to be 0-2 right now because the media is picking every single thing he does or says apart right now. Mix that with loud, obnoxious, ignorant “vol fan” who goes on twitter and keeps ish stirred up. It just creates a bad situation for him to try to pull out of.

Our so called fans are going to hurt recruiting more than the record imo.

Every player he’s ever coaches speaks highly of him. All the recruits seem to also. But at the end of it all they’ll be faced with a decision to go to program that the fans are behind or one that has stupid hashtag.

He didnt. When he made his turn he turned inside toward the receiver and the receiver kept going straight. He starts the play with inside leverage then complete turns around toward the receiver like he was playing an out route. Even if they hit a 15 yard out. There is 7 seconds and they aren't in FG range. It just doesn't make sense

I was just taking a guess. That's usually what happens. I remember on one of the final plays we got a good pass rush and I couldn't remember if that was the play or not.

One is tempted to say that Adams has dedicated his petty and talentless life to doing everything in his power to damage the team and the university. It baffles that anyone who reads above the second-grade level would give him a click and that all concerned have not cancelled their newspaper subscriptions on account of Adam's malice and asininity.

But I refrain from such remarks lest the weasel glory in his ability to cause upset.

And you can see flashes of how the defense is going to be in the future. BYU couldn’t handle the pressure coming at them when we decided to blitz.

I feel like this season is closer to that "first year" feel, lots of youth on defense. His first real class and we're seeing tons of them playing quality minutes already. Good improvement and growth in the OL already.

I love the staff, I really do. I think JG may just be "who he is" and I can't fault the guy, really can't. Not every QB is a stud or a natural leader. He's had 4 different OCs in 4 years, had 3 different guys at HC and has only had a QB coach for this season. It's caused setbacks mentally that I think only show up in game action, because in practice ya typically don't get hit and ya often -know- the defensive coverage your going against already.

Every word.

Let's hang in there. Things are going to get better, if we let them.

Yep Pruitt is here to stay unless he loses Saturday vs Chattanooga or if he goes 1-11

Chatt, SCAR, UAB, Mizzou, Vandy, UK

UTC, I really hope we can handle, if we bring last week's effort, I agree we will, if we bring the GSU effort, all bets are off.
Kentucky is definitely a possibility with maximum effort even though it's on the road because of the Wilson injury.
My heart wants to give us UAB as well, but they've got a pretty good ball club, if we bring GSU effort, that's definitely a loss.

Vandy, I'd like to move into the W column but they've beaten us senseless 3 years running, and I've seen nothing this year to indicate we are going to reverse that.

USCe, we've never beaten Muschamp. They are too much man for us on the LOS also I am afraid.

I'm really not feeling the @Mizzou pick, they just beat West Virginia 38-7, with that being on the road again, I fear they will skullfrack us.

So bottom line is 4-8 looks like a best case scenario to me, 5-7 or 6-6 would be a miracle. Most had us at 6-7 wins pre-season, and pretty much everybody had GSU and BYU included in their calculations.
