Coaches share the fault as well but tired of fans scapegoating them for poor player performance!In the first qtr down 7-0. Chaney, after gaining 5 yds on 1st down running Chandler, decided to put Gray in and throw the ball with a QB who struggles in the red zone. Gray doesn’t get his block, his man blocks the pass on 2nd down and then JJ misses the 3rd pass for the INT.
I don’t understand turning it over to JG there. Line up at run at them 3 more plays. Use the big package with Emerson & Crouch there that you used later in the game.
I’m not saying that would have changed the outcome of a game where Tennessee continued to shoot themselves in the foot but it would have made the game more competitive. Tennessee coaching was very bad in this game just as the players were. Jmo

he was taking 3rd team reps and Jordan was 2nd team and I was sure it was because Jordan was the better blocker but what the hell do I know. I watched Gray get trucked by a GAST rusher like he wasn't even there. Also fumbled Sat. breaking lateral on the run. As mentioned I was mildly impressed by Crouch pounding the ball. What took me off-guard was this coaching staff having that much sense to use such a play.If he’d pumped faked the DE, the receiver would have been out of bounds by the time the ball was delivered to him. Putting Gray in there was dumb Gray is struggling in pass pro and you put him in the game to pass pro?

In the old days at UT, we'd do exactly what you described. We'd line up with no question about what was coming. It would be 3 straight plays right behind our big ass OL. You stop us and we'll tip our caps to you. We rarely needed 3 plays.
Now we try to scheme, trick and outsmart and usually shoot ourselves in the foot. I miss the good old days of UT football.

JG threw a 100 MPH Fastball to a receiver that was 3yds away, but the pass to DWA that would have scored didn't come close to hitting his hand B/C JG overthrewI’m extremely unhappy with JG right now, but he did his part there. The ball hit the receiver in both hands.
