4/5 of our losses came to teams who ended up a combined 45-6

[Volprofch05]

Kind of puts the season in perspective. Plus, two of those losses could’ve gone either way to teams that ended up a combined 21-4.

I think we can all pretty much agree our only really bad loss this year was that other 1/5.

Yep, definitely need to fix that particular game next year!

Thanks. Notably someone else posted that a coach who did that with the roster issues UT had this year... is many years away from competing with the top tier of the SEC.

Dummy seriously though it was a good idea to compare UT to Bama and Georgia, two teams that have recruited their asses off for years now, not even a full year after we fired Jeremy freakin pruitt. Some fans don’t like to think about what they say. Maybe it was the alcohol

Four fifths is better than drinking only one fifth.

Completely different team than now.

0 out of 0 losses need to come from teams with a combined record of 21-4.

Pitt won the ACC title. Just sayin

Amazing what good coaching can do, even with lack of depth issues. I was a doubter to begin the season. We've been so accustomed to terrible coaching you just tend to doubt everything.

I still think we're limited with the roster we have. There's no arguing that, but good to great coaching can elevate a team. That's what you saw happen this year. I'm excited for the future. Gotta keep building on the successes of this year.

And 3 of the best 4 qbs in the country.

 

[rocketskates]

Even more into perspective because the refs gave Ole Piss the game

 

[Strickland]

Out of genuine curiosity rather than being a debbie downer, has anyone done the math on the teams we beat?

 

[Brave Volunteer]

I still firmly believe that had Hooker started game one, we would've won that Pitt game.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

It’s the most Tennessee thing ever that we get generationally good teams from Ole Miss and Pitt on the schedule with two of the best quarterbacks in the country. It seems like stuff like this happens way more often than it doesn’t .

 

[BreatheUT]

I thought about this yesterday. Lost to BCS #1, #3, #8, AND #12. That's not bad in a rebuilding year.

Then there's Florida.

We should’ve beat Florida, but it is what it is. Looking through orange colored glasses, it’s crazy how close we were to 10-2.

 

[IndianaVol]

Anyone else notice during College GameDay on ESPN Saturday that Mullen was showing how to beat the UGA secondary and was using tape from the Tennessee game?

 

[rocky top buzz]

People are upset that the SEC East cellar teams beat the Gators so how did UT lose, but people forget that Florida gave bama a game just before they played Tennessee. That is just amazing how they completely fell apart mid-season, from top 10 to barely in a bowl.

Something like 41-54 or so for W-L of those beaten.

 

[CPVOL]

The fact that CJH won 7 games with a depleted roster like he inherited makes me worry less about star grade. If he can develop then gimme then kid with a chip on his shoulder rated low and wants to prove some people wrong
