Yes, we can. We almost beat Alabama last year!No but we should be competitive. I wish we could beat everyone but we will need to get better on defense in a hurry for Bama. Maybe georgia depending how they look tonight. We looked improved a good bit from week one and week two so can't wait to see what georgia and auburn look like tonight.
I agree that Gray is more elusive, but people on here consistently underrate Chandler. It’s like y’all ignore every good game he has. Chandler was vastly superior last week. 13 carries for 86 yards compared to Gray’s 12 carries for 40 yards. Gray did have two negative plays last week that were not his fault, but he was still outplayed by Chandler. Today was different. Their touches should remain roughly equal until one separates himself.4. Eric Gray is tremendously more elusive than Ty Chandler, yet the staff seems married to Chandler, especially on 1st and 2nd down. Chandler is above average, but he generally gets what’s there and not much more. Gray creates yards with vision and elusiveness and their touches ought to reflect that. He did put the ball on the ground, but it was near the sideline and not a turnover. Like to see him used more.
Well we’ve played them 9 times after today.
Today was our 4th win in the series so we are still chasing them. Numbers don’t lie. 4 wins to their 5 wins.
No game is perfect and talking about deficiencies and how we can play even better is just part of being fans. Pruitt made a point to say how we need to improve, both in his comments at halftime and after the game. Guarantano did the same post-game. Very happy with the win. Thrilled that we are starting to look like Tennessee again. Looking forward to all the discussions this week as we get ready for UGA.
OK, I do have one complaint. Not against the players but the coaching staff. I really wanted to see the coaches put in a different QB to get some experience, We are one contact tracing issue away from starting an inexperienced QB. Otherwise, I'm very pleased with the win.
