3 more losses

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Tenn is a slightly above average team at best. Theyre 6 games in. They are who are they. Playoffs arent happening.

If we win out, we're in the playoffs. Only two losses are to top 10 teams

I'm aware of how math works.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

I'm aware of how math works.

But you're not aware of how common sense works. Or aware of how to take a loss and move on works. We lost, ain't nobody giving up on the season but the miserable people on this site

I easily see three more losses for this team , OU, Vandy and Florida , 7-5 season it will be. Heupel better make some changes on the coaching staff this offseason.

Heupel won’t make staff changes - he hires and promotes his friends (with the exception of Garner).

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Put the bottle down lol. We were supposed to lose this game, we’re fine

Truly awful take. Why even play then?

 

[Pappy]

No need to overreact, all three of those teams can’t pass so we should play significantly better.

but UT can’t tackle

 

[LadyVolette]

The line was -9.5 and haven’t won there since I was two years old?

Agreed, even in the 90s when it was a very competitive series, your chances of winning (at Legion Field then) were about 50/50 at best

“Supposed to lose this game”. This is a sorry mentality. We haven’t played a team yet that looked like they “should have beat us”. We’ve done it to ourselves.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

I agree but I would like to have seen how it plays out with the score 16-10 at halftime. Should have kicked the FG there.

Go Vols

Admittedly, we would have been questioning coaches fortitude if he didn’t go for it there. 3s aren’t gonna beat bama at home. BUT it couldn’t be that playcall.

So dumb. Can you easily see the winning Powerball numbers, too?

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Puleez. This team should win out. Georgia and Alabama are juggernauts right now. We're not quite. But we're darn good.

But they aren’t. We lost both of those games due to us, not due to the opponents stellar play. Sloppy ass undisciplined football. A Heupel staple at this point.

 

[EZE]

The pick 6 was a killer. Can’t throw that pass there. Other than that play the game would have been a toss up. Bishop is a beast. Go Vols!

This is what everyone is missing. We actually played pretty well in this game. That one mistake was a 14-point swing and changed everything.

 

[CAVPUT]

Okay. Let’s have a reasonable discussion on why you think we can beat Florida at the swamp? Or stop Diego pavia or Oklahoma. Sure we are at home. That will help us a lot. I hope 10-2. I hate just saying hey we are not favored so we lose because it’s not in Knoxville. ****.

Gotta say that nothing I've seen from our defense gives me hope that we'll beat vandy. I shudder at the thought of Pavia against our defense.

Team reflects the coach.

Take care of the Border, take down OU then go from there, if they can't beat Florida down there this year it might honestly never happen in that sorry place. Vandy's defense isn't anything world breaking (ours is a shell of itself) but I trust it more than theirs. An Oklahoma win over Ole Miss this week could be huge for us, shoot us right back up the rankings if we take care of OU. Lot of ball to be played, nobody is done losing yet at the rate the whole season is going.

Florida is 3-4 right now. If we had played their schedule, I think we would be 4-3. We are not much better than Florida in my opinion. The game is at the Swamp . . . And we all know how CJH shows up on the road.

 

[Vol524]

We will end the season 10-2. JMHO The sky is not falling.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Mississippi State handed Florida a win tonight. The Gators did not look good at all.

Didnt have Bothwell, either

 

[TikiVol]

How so? We’ve lost to the number 9 and number 6 team in the country

Because Bama, UGA, Ole Miss, and the Aggies. I don’t see them taking 5 teams, especially one without a signature win.

What's Ole Miss and A&M's signature wins?

 

[TikiVol]

That’s the beauty of being undefeated or a one loss team…less scrutiny. When you pose 2,3, or 4 games, people start asking the hard questions. That’s where we are.

 

[deatojl]

Heupel won’t make staff changes - he hires and promotes his friends (with the exception of Garner).

I wasn't aware that William Inge and Josh Huepel were buddies.

 

[jasonvol18]

and that means what to me

It means a lot to me. I bet 5 figures on Alabama and never wanted to lose money so much in my life. But, we all know how Heupel is on the road. We haven't played Alabama within 10 points in Tuscalooser in 25+ years. That was as easy of a bet as there's been all year. I figured if we were gonna get beat, may as well make it profitable.

 

[jasonvol18]

What's Ole Miss and A&M's signature wins?

Who cares, 1 is a one loss team and the other is undefeated. I'll take both of their situations over ours. Does anyone really believe we would have played GA better in Athens than Ole Miss did? Nope!

 

[GoVols64]

Every game from here out is winnable but we have to play better. OU is the toughest game left but UF at home isn’t going to be easy.

I think Vandy is good but we win that one. Home field advantage may be the difference in 9-3 vs 8-4.

 

[tellicoflash]

I didn’t know we were suppose to lose this game.

9.5 underdog
