great win but slightly disappointed

[Rickyvol77]

I ain't worried about it. I'm a grown man with big ole shoulder and thick skin.

I said what I said. good win but we totally quit the second half. not Nick Saban quality football. not Steve Spurrier quality football.

let's just go beat Vandy

Steve spurrier that quit halfway thru a season because Tennessee beat him?

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

We kicked their gator tail all over Ben Griffin!Heck after the first few minutes of the game is sounded like I was at the local park! Oh they did yell I won’t back down real loud and then a lot of them left! It was a great night and a great victory in the swamp. GBO

 

[PC Jr.]

I’m glad for the win. Now on to Vandy.

 

[hUTch2002]

31 points in the first half and nothing the entire second half after the announcers got done saying Heupel never lets off the gas and shows no mercy.

I wish we had beaten these guys by 60 to make up for all the years of losing.

good game
good win.

Or, you could be impressed that we got into position to go conservative.

it was too much for any Christian man to bear! you can't lose to them heathen Vols

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

I said all week that a loss to a 3-7 Florida team without a head coach would be an unforgivable sin. and I truly mean unforgivable. then all the pansies showed up saying "we never win in the swamp".

we beat a team we had absolutely no business losing to. nothing more nothing less.

Ive seen Tennessee wins in the swamp before. I'm never scared of them and every time we lose to them I cuss out Tennessee for letting them win games we should have won easily.

Florida almost beat a solid playoff team at their place last week. This wasn't a given by any means. Maybe show you're a grown man, as you clearly stated you are in an earlier post and give the team some credit

Is this a symptom of BVS? Where even when you win you are frustrated?

 

[EZE]

You knew it was coming. We have a bunch of titty babies.

Just go ahead and drop the mic…nice!

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

I’m pissed. F Florida! Why not score 50+ on those jackasses!!!!!

I wanted to score 70
Plus

Unfortunately, it’s a normal game day on Vol Nation. We can’t expect to be excited about a 3-TD win AT Florida anymore.

 

[The Original Fade]

Was a great win and we have a chance to finish on a high note and have a successful season.

That said, Heupel is soft with a lead and that can’t be disputed. I’m afraid it’s the only thing keeping him from being an elite coach

 

[MemphisVol77]

I mean look, Florida came out with an entire half left waving the white flag running the clock out, that’s HILARIOUS. Give me that sight over scoring a couple more garbage time TDs.

If any part of you is disappointed blowing them out at their place given the history, you’re beyond help tbh

How anybody can't see this is beyond me.

They were literally down 4 scores and letting the clock tick down to around 10 seconds before every snap.

There's gamesmanship within the game. FL was just trying to get it over with. When you're the team in control, you take it and leave in one piece.
Anybody remember Vandy taking cheap shots last year?

The only criticism I can offer from is not using the time out to take an end zone shot at the end of the 1st half. Other than that, I'll score it about 99/100.

Babbling about championship football and crying about style points when the other team is waiving the flag just means you don't know jack about football.

 

[EZE]

They had 2 high safeties the entire game. There's no point in throwing the deep ball, when every go and post route is double covered. Best move to do there is protect the ball and control the clock. Nobody got hurt which is most important.

Cmon, man, don’t bring that chess strategy to a bunch of checkers players.

 

[UTK]

2nd half was a drag. We didn't quit, though. We cut them really bad in the first half and then let them bleed out in the second. Content to run the ball and kill clock and let them do the same. You can agree or disagree with the strategy, but it was to some degree intentional.

Edit: think of it this way: we went scoreless in a half at the Swamp and still won by 20 points. Reverse the halves (them with an 11-0 lead at half and us outscoring them 31-0 the second) and we're all singing a veeery different tune, even though the outcome's the same.

Great edit. 100% truth. Like if the second half bored you, great news! It’s a shorter rewatch lol

Remember everyone questioning if Heupel would know how to slow it down and run the ball to protect a lead?

Well, now that he does it, it’s somehow “soft.”

Vols held the ball for nearly 12 minutes in the fourth quarter running the clock and imposing our will. There’s not a damn thing soft about that.

 

[rocytop2624]

I’m mildly disappointed in our fanbase. We stomp them in their home for the first time in 20 plus years and all people can do is bitch about it.

Yeah baby!

 

[Skooter]

We’d brag about holding the ball that long in the 4th in a win vs a rival in the old days.
Now we ignore it.
Talk about soft..

Nah. Lacks a killer instinct. Scores in bunches then takes his foot off the gas. It’s who he is. Still a really good coach and don’t want anyone else, but that’s who he is

All week long its been "Ill believe a win in the swamp when I see it"

Beat them by 20 points in the swamp "they suck we should have beaten them by 30. Hell we didnt score in the 2nd half. Nothing to be excited about."

View attachment 791843

buddy you got the wrong fan. I was NOT one of those fans saying " we never win in the swamp"

I was the lone fan on this board full of sissy Mary panty wastes that said if we lose this game it's an unforgivable sin.

that's a direct quote.

no. those BVS victims are all out of their damn minds with glee that we beat a 3-7 team with no head coach.

I have never had BVS

Horrible take

No but that hasn’t stopped you from posting complete idiocy. They had won 5 straight SEC games in the Swamp and we have lost to some pretty crappy teams in the past

 

[volfan2024]

I’d be 100% happy if we on won by one.

 

[Flogballs]

Frustrated by beating Florida is called what, then?

 

[CR-vol]

The demon has been exorcised. None of the players on this team had ever felt a loss in the swamp before. They didn't have that mental block. I like our chances next time in the swamp whenever that may be with this new 9 game SEC schedule. We just gotta get over the hump with Georgia. And put together a season with a complete team on both sides of the ball. I hope we can ruin Vanderbilt's Cinderella season next week!
