Boo had a rough day. Took plays off and was behind on most plays. He has elite talent but has to put it together.
Plays like someone who really doesn't want to be here. I'll be shocked if he isn't in the portal when it opens up in January. Just my opinion, but someone with that much talent seems lost.

He was not locked in. Guys who aren’t locked in should not be on the field and maybe not on the team. There was an unacceptable lack of effort at times in that game.

Farooq is graded higher than I expected. His tackling technique continues to be a problem. Perlotte needs to be in the starting rotation, maybe to spell Carter who is playing hurt.
Never heard of Perlotte, where the hell did he come from? Thank Goodness he did!

I don’t care what PFF or anyone else says, Telander is BRUTAL in a bad kind of way.

I’d rather have Zoolander at LB.

Carter was awful too. Seems to be a tremendous athlete that is either dumber than dirt or simply doesn’t care.

One might also argue that that the imbalance in penalties kept Arkansas in the game. IIRC at one point it was 10 to 0. All of our penalties may have been legit but it’s hard to believe ark played that clean. Penalties stalled several drives that would have stretched our lead. I also think you can’t ignore this defense‘s ability to sack the qb, create turnovers and negative plays. Something we do consistently. Our inability to stop the run and get off the field on third and fourth down are consistent issues however. At this point it’s hard to know if this is just who we are or can it be fixed.

I don’t discount it and it’s fine against Miss States and Arkansas’s of the world. Good teams won’t make those mistake (i.e. UGA and Bama).

If you’re content with 9-3 or 10-3 type seasons as our ceiling fair enough. However, I would actually like to win a conference title every once in a while. We still don’t have one this century. And maybe even a national title again in my lifetime.

Kadion Salter was PFF QB of the week. We had four Vols in the ALL SEC Team of the week. Zero on defense (imagine that 🤣).

QB: Joey Aguilar, Tennessee
RB: DeSean Bishop, Tennessee
WR: Braylon Staley, Tennessee
RG: Wendell Moe Jr., Tennessee

Interesting that Alabama did not have one single player mentioned. Even not the darling of the media Simpson.
Don't tell me we can’t beat them.

Boo had a rough day. Took plays off and was behind on most plays. He has elite talent but has to put it together.
Time to just move on from him this year. I'd rather see them play youngsters they see helping next year. I'd bet someone else's house that he's not here next season. Sure looks like his mind is already somewhere else.

Playing disciplined football has never been a staple since Heupel has been here.

And Ark would have had a few more penalties...we turned down at least 2.
Every study I’ve seen showed no correlation between penalties and wins. I don’t think coaches get too worked up over aggressive effort penalties. Pre snap penalties and mental mistakes drive them crazy. Bama over the years has been frequently a highly penalized team.

Couldn't agree more. He is checked out and his mom will be the reason he never lives up to his potential. I think we're all ready to move on.

For context:

  • 90.0 and above (Elite): This is considered an outstanding, All-Pro caliber performance. Players with grades in this range are among the best in the NFL at their position. For example, a quarterback with a 90+ grade is likely performing at an MVP level, while a lineman with such a grade is dominating their matchups.
  • 80.0–89.9 (High Quality): This range represents very good to great performance. Players in this bracket are typically above-average starters or Pro Bowl-caliber talents. For most positions, this is considered a "good" to "very good" grade, reflecting consistent and impactful play.
  • 70.0–79.9 (Above Average): Grades in this range indicate solid, reliable performance. Players here are generally dependable starters who execute their roles well but may not be elite. This is still a respectable grade, often seen as "good" for most players.
  • 60.0–69.9 (Average): This range is considered average NFL performance. Players with these grades are meeting expectations for a competent starter or rotational player but aren’t standing out significantly.
  • Below 60.0 (Below Average to Poor): Grades below 60 indicate subpar performance, with players struggling to execute their assignments effectively. Starters with grades in this range are often considered liabilities.

Rough day for Spillman if you put any stock in these. I did not realize Sanders played so much. When was Gentle in on offense, the I formation play we ran late?
Gentle made a great block on the Lewis run that got the crucial 1st down so they could take victory formation. He and Kitsleman were lined up as fullbacks.
