The Florida Monkey is about to die brother.

Ultra conservative would have been to to take a knee. Kept pushing downfield but with safe plays.
Or are we forgetting the 14 point swing with the goal line pick six to end the half against Bama? Take the points and go into the half up five scores.

Florida had the field full of DBs on that last drive. Up 28-0, you take what they give you.

 

[GA VOL]

As much as I've been pushing back against that statement in the past

I apologize

There's gotta be a "reason" for that series

The radio said Gilbert hasn't kicked in the last three games. I believe Coach wanted a "confidence" kick for him.

 

[heupelsroutetree]

That wasn't a clock management problem, that was intentional to get 3. Might not like it, but Josh played for the field goal.

That's what it appeared like

 

[cgrish]

Up 31 and the play calling is bad lol.

Yes it is bad. Slowing down is how we lost to Ga. That and terrible clock management. I believe it was sc who was up 30 to 3 at half time and lost the game. Keep doing what got you the lead. Joey was in a rythym and usually when you change what you were doing successfully you lose that rythym. We will see the second half

 

[Vol8188]

So don’t play him. Unless the QBs you recruited are worse….

31-0

 

[PC Jr.]

I didn’t like the conservative play calling at the end of the half but I understand it. They need to come out strong on defense in the 2nd half. No more long runs by Lagway.

 

[LivinginthePast]

I like the runs. We should alsways run I have been saying that all year.

 

[Lady_Vol]

The Vols will win tonight.
I don’t care if it’s ugly. I don’t care if it’s a blow out or a one point squeaker. But they will win tonight.

I called it!

 

[JCHateSteve]

Agree but is still a damn five possession game

Nothing brings out BVS like Florida. I won't be comfortable until Tennessee is up 50. Not sayings it's logical, but that's how bad I need Tennessee to win this game.

 

[BucksnortVol]

Don't anybody forget....Florida has come back to win against us so often that it's almost predictable to some of us old guys.
A long time ago, they came back with over 40 unanswered points in the second half.
Don't consider this over until we're North of 45.

 

[DaddyChad]

I assume you know the history of this rivalry? That poor clock management could come back to haunt us. You do NOT squander ANY opportunities against this team. Terrible game management to end the half.

I’ve lived through almost all the crappy part of it thanks.

Going up five scores and not taking a chance with giving their team or fans any hope going into the half isn’t a bad decision

 

[GAVol]

I don’t buy that he’s making the same mistake over and over.

Maybe he’s deliberately running clock, otherwise it just doesn’t add up at all.

SO wierd.

The offense is built on playing fast and catching the defense flat footed. I wish he’d play it differently at times, but that’s just his philosophy.

 

[volpreacher]

I’m saying he has a tendency to go into a shell and get very conservative. It cost us the UGA and OU games this year.

No turnovers cost us those games

 

[Tennessee Jedd]

Why not even try a shot to the endzone there?

Because the Alabama game, that's why.

 

[dduncan4163]

When has that happened.

Never, we had a 30-14 lead in 95 but Spurrier ain't walking out that tunnel

 

[NCFisher]

Some of you are BVS, certifiably insane. There is no, nada, zip-zero f'ing complaint about that half of football.

 

[rocketskates]

The Florida Monkey is about to die brother.

I think it’s a skunk ape

 

[Vol737]

Some of you "fans" would cry if it was 50-0 at half

Damn straight…if we had a chance to make it 57!!

 

[Mccage]

This is why we’ll never win the big one. Not smart enough

Thing is if he would have scored which we have done several times running the ball from that point
you-would be singing his praises.
It’s all about numbers and we had the numbers to run the ball. We go up 5 scores with sure field goal. Get off his dam back.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

This game has been over for a while and if you try to dispute that, you’re a special kind of stupid.

We can take the playoffs call down, run it, run it and then run it again. Take the occasional play action opportunity. It's OVER

 

[Coy53175]

Yes it is bad. Slowing down is how we lost to Ga. That and terrible clock management. I believe it was sc who was up 30 to 3 at half time and lost the game. Keep doing what got you the lead.

Shut up. My god

 

[DirtyDawg]

Agree but is still a damn five possession game

Well, technically it’s still a 4 possession game, but your point stands. Sorry, I’m just being dumb.

 

[Vol737]

It was 30-14 in 95 which is half the current lead. Never had a lead in 96

That’s right. Off a year.
