How many of you just knew that a crippled 2nd string QB or a 3rd stringer no one has ever heard of was going to pair up with that unknown RB and break our hearts?

It's weird to see UK gashing UF on the ground.

Florida can’t handle the physicality of Kentucky. I wish we had a big bruising RB

"It's easy to play quarterback when everything is going right. It's a lot harder when you don't have your best stuff." - McElroy

Context: AR15 is crumbling and making huge mistakes. Threw the Pick-6 and now wildly off target.

Compare that to what Hendon did today. Started poorly. Was off target. Didn't play his best. Pitt capitalized and ran out to an early lead.

All he did was lead the comeback and make the plays we needed for the win. Even when he didn't have his best stuff - he found a way. AR15 hasn't shown the ability to do that. Levis hasn't. Only Bennett, Young, Hooker, and maybe Jefferson have done this.

The hype is ridiculous for AR-15. Why I am rooting for UK. That and I can never root for FL.

UF looks no bueno.

Some thoughts:

Pass rush was there at times. Most the time even. Some absolutely brutal QB hits that ultimately won the game.

Defensive backfield doesn't inspire confidence.

It's pretty clear Banks is simply not going to watch the QB sit in the pocket and complete passes if we aren't getting pressure with four. Blitzed all night.

Overall, defense is better all around. Are they going to be mistaken for the UGA defense? No. But improved.

Offense was just extremely frustrating and inconsistent.

Bru is better than Javonta was last year, but it is painfully obvious there is not a Velus Jones to be found on this team.

We don't have a star running back. Unless the freshmen prove themselves. That's two bad fumbles for Wright. Hold onto the damn ball.

Hendon. As good as he's been, he has about 5 inexplicably bad passes a game and he may have had more tonight. He's never been the guy to escape pass rush. Never seems to want to leave the pocket. Will never be mistaken for Dobbs in that regard.

Ekeler needs to figure some **** out on ST. Flowers is not a dynamic player at PR. I can live with it if he never drops the ball. But if he can't, put someone in there who is dynamic.

Brooks was moving in slow motion on his punts. Not sure what the problem is. Whether it's protection or his timing was off. But they legitimately almost blocked 3 punts and got one.

Freaking Daddy Till man. Can't forget him. Even with some drops and missed opportunities, completely took over the game. They could not guard him. Simply couldn't do it.

 

[Orange.]

Levis has all day and throws into double coverage.

 

[Weezer]

That Wright fumble today, anyone else think if the roles were reversed, forward progress would have been called? No fumble? I swear that was my first thought. I mean, it was a fumble, I'm just saying whenever crap like that happens for us, they make some BS call like forward progress had been stopped.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Any official word on if Tillman will be back this year?

 

[Orange_Crush]

Any official word on if Tillman will be back this year?

My fear is that, after seeing the performance in this game, he'll elect for the NFL.

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

I think you gotta root for Kentucky because we historically have success against them, even when they are "good," and because they have a much lower ceiling than Florida. We don't want Florida to truly get rolling again.

Exactly

 

[franklinpence]

Milton should start next week to see what he's got... Can't be any worse after tonight's performance at QB.

Over dozen high, underthrown or overthrown balls (3 of which were to be easy in stride TD's), ZERO pocket awareness taking multiple sacks as a mobile/running QB... A complete off season to improve... which he hasn't shown so far. Very underwhelming and disappointing at this point.

The sloppiness and undisciplined nature of this game on every side of the ball including special teams reminds me of a Dooley team. SEC teams are licking their chops, anticipating blowing us out...

It is what it is... no way we can make that many improvements and adjustments in one game/two weeks before FL... they will embarrass us at this point. AT HOME.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I really dont like Lincoln Riley.

None whatsoever

 

[InVOLuntary]

Their o-line is dominating the Gators front too.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Levis has this look and throws into double coverage underneath?!? Number one pick my arse! TE wide open for 6.

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Our secondary is what really concerns me about our Defense. But it might be more the coverages that are being called. All I know is it's concerning.

#4 always seems like he’s the reason a wr catches a ball for a first down or touchdown

Not sure what happen to our O tonight but its bound to happen at some point. I think the O can be fixed easily. The D at first, I was like everyone else. I thought well nothing has changed here at all but man they really came on as the game went on. Now the secondary, needs work in the worse way. I so agree with you about Brooks. Why does it take him so long to get rid of the punt. The best news is we won against a really good team on the road. That will help this program so much. In recruiting and attention. I'm guessing we will jump to around 15 or so.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

immediate thoughts for todays game.

- Burrell should be benched.
- Wright has fumbled twice in two games. (Once in each)
- Sampson should of saw the field.
- Flowers should not be our punt returner.
- Our O-line has got to work on sliding off of combo blocks if they send extra people

 

[Pridedad]

Why did KY go for 2 in the 2nd qtr?

I'm having a rough night typing. What can I say. And I don't even drink

Utah did it too.
it’s def not what I’m used to seeing.

Hope he liked what he saw

My wife is a proud North Alabamian from the 256. You embarass her and all the good Vol faithful holding down the fort in enemy territory.

Really wish we could collectively vote to ban trolls from the forum.

Ignore button does that

 

[LoudOrange]

Week one overreaction is how good Florida is and week two is how good Kentucky is.
