Why don't Tennessee just play smash mouth football their last three games?

[Noggin]

It can be done. They can come bust them in the mouth and win their remaining games. That would give them a 5-5 record. They can be more physical than their remaining opponents and win out.

Worked well against Kentucky.

Cannot be one dimensional and win any of the three remaining games.

They lost the Kentucky game because JG kept throwing pick sixes.

Excuse me? I don't think so.

Well he does lead the nation in pick sixes.

You do realize we have only scored 14 points in the 2nd half last 5 games right while the other team has scored around 100 or so in that same time span. You also do realize we still play Texas A&M and Florida right? And what have you seen the last 5 games that makes you believe we won’t lose by double digits in those games also. This is the worse season in UT history. 129 years and this is the 1st year we lose by double digits in 5 consecutive games while only scoring 14 points.

And what makes you think he won’t throw a couple more against better teams like A&M and Florida. Vandy has scored more points in the 2nd half than we have all year. Let that sink in before you go off saying we can beat 2 top 10 teams by only running the ball.

What are we running?

Notre Dame Box? Single wing? Veer? Triple option? Wing T? Zone blocking? Wishbone? Spread option? Go heavy with 3 TE and a fullback that we don't have on the team?

 

[orangefloyd]

Do that and we’ll be only ones getting smashed.

 

[JoAllan]

Tennessee has been playing “smash mouth” for 5 games in a row.

They been getting smashed in the mouth over and over and over.

Tennessee doesn't have the players to achieve that

Florida and A&M will score 100+ combined on us.

Actually we lost them games by interceptions, it's a darn good thing we could run the ball because we sure can't throw it with JG in there. In fact we should have kept running it against auburn at worst we get 3 points there instead of a pick six. Same thing with kentucky and arkansas. It's takes a running and passing game, not just 1 of them. That is why we need to go with Bailey, especially if we are running effective Bailey is going to have time to throw. He already looks more comfortable than JG. We need a Qb where we can be a balanced attack. GBO!

We can do it. We've seen us be able to do it....however, Every time we do it, we throw pepper in a pick 6, which puts us down 2 scores and we post another game where we do quite well in Q1, then don't score again until mop up time at the end of the game.

 

[VolArmy74]

Vs Alabama 38 runs, 24 passes.

Vs Kentucky 41 runs 26 passes

Vs Arkansas 50 runs 21 passes

Vs Auburn 41 runs 33 passes

These are the games we attempted to play smashmouth football. The results 0-4, outscored 136-57.

 

[wmcovol]

Tennessee isn’t going to beat Florida, but they can physically beat up Florida. Run 2 TEs with 2 extra OLs as TE and beat them up. We gotta get back to physical football

 

[MyVolsDropped]

Do you know who our coach is??

Do you know who our QB is??

Now ask yourself that question again and maybe the light bulb will come on upstairs.

Agree
I think over under on punts will be two for the combined two games
Only way to stay close(not win) is to run the ball and shorten the game
That was not a good Auburn team
Only thing is Gators have secondary problems which may lure our brilliant coaching staff into a shootout approach and then start searching records for most points Fla has scored on us

14 points directly. Yeah and Pruitt keeps playing this guy. Pruitt is bucking for his buyout now. His team plays like they don't give ****. JG continues to play like ****... Sorry but the proof is in the pudding at this point.

 

[deezvols]

They “can”, but they won’t. They also could have during the last 5 games and didn’t.

We might be able to move the ball a little against FL, but it will still only translate to 10-17 points total. They will move it at will against us.
