We finally turned the corner in the last 4 minutes yesterday

Defense did what it needed to do and Bray proved he was money. We are going to roll in the last 3 games and bowl!

I just have one question, did none of y'all see this coming? We have one of the worst defenses in the country, maybe THE worst secondary. And we were playing against an air raid offense that can put points on the board. Don't forget Troy played Miss St. close. (They beat us FYI). You people are ridiculous, you cry for a win, cry for a defensive stop, cry for a game winning drive. Well guess what, you got all 3 Saturday, yet you still find a way to be negative bc it was Troy. I know it's tough, but y'all should be positive and root for this team. There's nothing you can do about the coaching situation regardless, so just chill, my Vols fought hard and did their best and earned a W Saturday. I'll take it at this point.

I am glad I am not the only one who thinks this way.

I don't know if we turned a corner but I agree that we win out and go to a bowl. Vandy will be our only real test. They'll be out for blood this year.

Sad days when stopping Troy is considered "turning the corner".

That's all well and good, but if Bray proved he was money against Troy, he proved against UF, UGA ,BAMA and SC that he was an over the limit Discover Card.

I am happy that we finally finished strong in the 4th quarter. I am happy that we got a defensive stop or two at the end. I am happy Bray and the offense are rolling along. I am not happy our D has seemed to regress nor that we allowed a record number of yards and a near record number of points.

I can feel good about the win, only because it's better than a loss. I can't feel good about the future of this team the way the D is playing.

He choked against UF and bammer. I thought he played well vs. Uga up until the end, and I really don't fault him for the fumble vs. USCe. He got hit by a legit AA DE...it happens.

Bray has definitely shown significant improvement and I really hope we get him back.

Is it just me or is anyone else ready for Basketball season! Besides, I can't take much more of this! At least if we win and the score is 55-48 it would be considered a good defensive effort.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Not at all. But there is no excuse for being happy with this win.

It sure as hell beats losing. Looking at some of these posts, you'd think we lost by 20. The D sucked out loud, but we won. I'm never pissed on a Monday after a win.

Turned the corner? 100% of the Vol nation would be tickled pink if that were so, but it's a pipe dream. If they can hold Mizzou to under 300 yards then I'll reconsider.

Dillusional Fans i swear. Being a homer for the sake of being a homer just makes you look stupid. That was a crappy troy team that just flat out rang up the UT defense.

Oh yeah baby we played 3 good minutes vs Troy! Tennessee football is back!! (This is sarcasm for all the idiots out there)

 

[FRO]

Bottom line.....our defense is what is killing us. We get that figured out, well be a force to be wreckened with....

But does Dooley know anything about defense?

What you talking about man? We completely wore out Troy's offense. Brilliant strategy if you ask me. Warrants a contract extension for Dooley of three more years.

 

[Jeepkuntry]

We lose to both Mizzu and Vandy. Bray played a good game against a Sun Belt conference team, whoopie whoo! Bray will choke the next two weeks.

 

[FRO]

Wore them out? It came down to a final drive.....

come on dude, you cant sit there and defend the defense......its terrible

and i doubt it was strategy, being down by 7 with 353 to play.......

puff puff give bro.....

 

[Roustabout]

They knew going in that Troy was going to be a bad match up. Certain teams are just bad match ups. Last year or early this year, we would have choked. Yesterday we found a way to get a stop (unlike Georgia game) and Bray came through (unlike South Carolina).

Bad match up?? You've got to be kidding. This defense has made every team it faced look amazing. Every QB like an All-American. It is now ranked over 100 in all of FBS. It is giving up more points and yards than any defense in UT history.
Bad match up?

If the D plays like that the next two weeks, it will be two losses, because these opponents have performed well against better competition.

Money against a non -sec opponent again and the D didn't turned the corner..Troy just got tired from breaking records at the track meet.......................

Vandy is licking their chops for the showdown in 2 weeks. ...... Makes me sick that we are now competing against Vandy
