Lol. I can't believe you're defending a strategy, that didn't work, with what you believe to be bay players, to place thise players in a situation where they have to cover down field for an eternity, while expecting 3 d lineman to get to the qb while being blocked by 6 lineman. I think we're done here.

I just stopped even reading his posts now. He or she is absolutely insane.

Man you talk about making a mistake.....I went to the FF. Holy sh*t !!!! I admit I can be a little off kilter but some of that was unbelievable. Someone thinks that CJH has secretly signed a deal to be a coach in the NFL. They have us going everywhere from Muschamp to Chavis for DC. They have a poll to see if this year was a failure and a few said it was and on and on. It was like..........

We have the best, most passionate fanbase in CFB..

We have the worst, most toxic fanbase I'm CFB..

Both statements are 100% true.

If this bunch of f'n toxic dumbasses runs off Heupel when next year is a step back...I am out for good....I can't take the stupid HC merry-go round anymore. As long as he is our coach, we will have an offense that gives us at least a shot to win against anybody.

Will need time to get Iamaleava and Jackson up to speed, and a couple of years worth of good recruits and hopefully a couple of better defensive coaches and we will always be in the mix imo.

There is no savior, there is no 100 million guaranteed winner. Heupel has proven ge can be competitive, even with a garbage DC and DB coach, and way below average defensive players.

Do we really need an Ivy League level pass rusher?

ask FSU how former Albany Great Dane Jared Verse is working out

I don’t think we would have won the playoff had we made it, but I can’t help but imagine a scenario where we win two shootouts in a row. It would have changed everything about UT football. Heupel would have had an embarrassment of riches in talent in no time.

I will say this I think the South Carolina at Florida game really changed things.

South Carolina responded in a big way and our defense didn't seem ready for the bounce back. The fact that Florida turns around and falls on their face to Vandy after that game is also amazing. Just shows how much mental matters.

South Carolina needed to show that wasn't who they are and when the #5 team comes to town for a night game that's basically sold out you don't wanna be embarrassed two weeks in a row. Our team seemed to think they were going to be playing a team that quit on Beamer and would come out playing as bad as they did in the swamp.

What's even crazier is that the strategy to beat South Carolina is what Florida did, just run the ball on them. But our defense wasn't able to keep the score close enough for us to take advantage. One thing our offense doesn't do well at is win with the pass.

5 games last year with 30 or more passing attempts. 1-4 (win was against TTU)
7 games this year with 30 or more passing attempts. 5-2 (wins over Pitt, Missouri, UT-Martin, Ball State, and Bama) and of those wins only 2 were decided by half time.

Our offense is at it's best when we're able to run the ball. Undefeated this year in games with 30 attempts and 4 or more YPC. Last year we only won 1 game where we ran the ball for less than 5 YPC against TTU. Every other win we were better at running the ball.

And the vandy game is at night

I was disappointed when I saw us projected to the Cotton Bowl, but it kicks off at 11am in Dallas, and I'm totally fine with that for this team

Volnation mood.

I couldn’t believe the hurtful posts I’ve seen about Hooker’s injury on social media. For all of the posts about Hooker’s torn ACL on Facebook, there were a select few “laugh emoji” responses and I clicked on the profiles and most were Georgia fans. Celebrating an injury is absolutely poor taste.

Social media allows the worse kind of people to have a voice.

I mean Vandy is 5-5 against us over the last 10 years and until Pruitt’s second year had 5 of the last 7 against us so I think we have all learned to handle losing to Vandy.

I’m just not sure how much the team cares any more. Their leader on offense is lost for the year. The playoff is out of reach. Vandy needs this one to get to bowl eligibility. It’s all a very bad mixture.

And it’s on the road…..at night.

I just think we have enough talent coming back and coming in that we could probably pass here. There's going to be a lot of options to choose from in the portal.

I would argue the defense is the reason we beat Pitt. If the offense didn't start slow or had they come out in the second half like they played at the end of the first then we win by multiple scores.

The defense gave up 27 points 415 total yards. The only reason that game was as close as it was is because Pitt shutdown our running game.

You don't think he's confident?

I'm more worried about him being self aware.

Lol maybe. Either way he's confident. That's something all Dbs need for sure. Now he just needs to become competent

Hoping the saving grace is that there will be more Vol fans. Essentially a home game for us.

Being upset about a 20 year old talking trash is the epitome of "old man yells at clouds"

I'm young....... he looked like an idiot. If you're consistently getting dunked on you don't have the right to trash talk. I promise you Haddan's teammates thought he looked like an idiot too.

 

[Volbucky]

Can he even get into UT?
