UT's linebackers being out will actually be a blessing in disguise because the young backups are better than the starters, especially with the starters banged up.

Eta: That's what I got from Bull of Bluechip Breakdown.

CONGRATS to Coach E!

So what’s your excuse for never scoring...

We do score, and will on Kentucky. We just won't stop them often. Prior to bama, we had the top offense, hopefully that shows up again tonight in Lexington.

I'm hoping for a win and I'll be happy no matter how we get it.

I can't help but wonder how good we could be If we just cleaned-up some of the unforced errors (i.e., penalties, missed assignments, dropped passes). But we're into the second half of the season and I think it's just who we are. We have too much youth and inexperience and we are seeing the learning curve in action every week.

GBO! Destroy the Kitty Cats!!!!!

That's what has impressed me about IU and Cignetti. He's like Heupel with a discipline streak...results show too.

Last week, I smoked a Boston Butt. Seeing how the game went, we made the call -no swine on the menu today. Went for smoked Prime Rib burgers

Good teams bounce back from embarrassing losses when they have a lesser opponent the following week and obliterate them. Let’s see what this coaching staff is made of.

Let's smash the wildcats on this beautiful "Elander Saturday". Everything is looking up again.

No Joe, I was talking bout you, personally never “scoring”
I wa just trying to bust your chops a little

 

[VawlsYall]

Hope we come out with a good showing to tamp down the doom and gloom a little bit. Don’t worry about the postseason for that matter don’t worry about next week. Focus on Kentucky then on to the next. 10-2 or 9-3 is still better than anything people predicted heading into week 1. Get our young guys some reps and keep building towards the future. Win the games we are supposed to win and the playoff mess will shake itself out. GBO.

For those making excuses about the Arkansas game, Auburn just won by 11 at their house.

 

[VOLifornia]

Not one team doing us any favors at this point for UT. Arky losing to Auburn… UGGGGH, OU losing… UGGGGH

Ohhhhh, I'm gonna score for sure!

 

[FlVols]

GO BIG

Gomer Pyle and his crow are doing their best to make sure the Gumps don’t lose

We don’t belong in the playoffs this year anyway. I’m just hate watching at this point.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I have been watching games all afternoon and the one thing I have noticed. Is the WRs for the teams that have Isaw do not drop balls. They run sharp routes And they make adjustments and catch the ball. We need our receivers to do the same if we want to make the playoffs.

 

[Volnanza]

Crap! We got stuck on the sec network.

What excuses we won

 

[mackievol]

What excuses we won

I was kinda lost on that one also

 

[zeppelin128]

All I'm going to say is we are truly blessed with Neyland Stadium. I'm standing at gate 9 waiting on the team and, well this sure as hell ain't Neyland.

We have a cathedral of college football on the Hill.

Thank god! It was all your fault. JK

I really wish they would outlaw MS STATES cow bells. It really is annoying. Your fans should be loud enough. Props are unfair!
