This years team would beat last years by at least 21 probably lmao. This was an UGLY game but let’s be be real. We aren’t as bad as this game would indicate. Team didn’t give a ****. Got to work on that.

Gotta score at least 21 to beat someone by 21.

At this point you have to look at the Auburn game like the 1996 Memphis win over UT. It didn't mean much regarding how bad that Memphis team was, it was just a fluke. The Tennessee game appears to be that fluke for Auburn this year. They happen sometimes. Scoring 7 vs that team was as pathetic as anything I've seen from UT's offense since losing to Wyoming at home a decade ago. I didn't think the offense could get much worse than it was vs a horrible UTEP team, but I was wrong. It's November and it looks worse than it did in September.

and I have never seen a Tennessee team this bad. We cannot do anything right or well.
This is a sad time for Tennessee.
We seem to be regressing. I did not know we could get any worse.
Lord help us. Have pity on us.

Did you miss a couple season in your life time or forget about the one last year. The one that was worse team in UT History

I'm just as sorry, but that remains to be seen... We would probably be just as bad with Butch as coach and maybe even a little worse... When did Butch beat a ranked team on the road while at Tennessee? Never! (And yes, Auburn was ranked when we played them)

They won today and will be ranked again

Trying to put a positive spin a putrid performance... it would only be human nature for the team to be flat vs Charlotte after a very disappointing loss last week that they could have won.

OR...

...a good team of competitors is upset about losing a game they should’ve won last week, and so they take out their frustration on a halfling 5yo CUSA team at Homecoming. Good lord the bar has been lowered so much around here it’s hard to believe.

But hey, JG is tough tho.

At times, this team looks like a high school team. I’m not even sure it played to that level today.

Never? I've seen plenty of teams that found a way to lose games like this. It wasn't pretty, but we won.

I'll admit it was pretty disappointing Freak. Just a glimmer, only a glimmer of improvement while playing Charlotte is all I asked for. Denied.

What does all the bitching and moaning, "woe is me" crap accomplish? Honestly, we're an Offensive Line away from being a decent team this year. Our defense is playing fine. If our OL could block worth a crap, our offense would be fine. Our RBs are consistently met behind the LOS. JG gets hit way too much. IMO, everything traces back to the OL.

Wasn't the 49ers 14th in the nation against the run? I'm not too concerned, they didnt show anything on offense because they didnt need to. They will bubble screen a lot to finish out and take pressure off the O-line. We've already seen that work pretty well.

I don't know their stats. But, they absolutely MANHANDLED our offensive line. They have several SEC quality players in their front 7. We didn't have a chance up front. Showed badly bc CJP went back to the "pound the rock" stategy again. I'm convinced he's trying to send this team a message by running off guard so much. I think we averaged 0.8ypc today!
I do give UNCC credit tho. Their front 7 is not scrubs. Good looking safety too. #27 or 24. They looked tired that last drive finally tho.

Our staff is going to have to earn that $$$ if we're going to be competitive in the trenches anytime soon. We will not break .500 in the SEC until we get mean in the trenches.

We are not regressing. We just caught Auburn on a bad day. We have been this bad from the beginning.

I`m not talking about individual games or 2018 vs 2017. I`m talking about the sorry state of our football program in general. We are in a sad situation.
I have been a VOL fan since I was a kid. Have never seen anything like this.
No ground game against a lowly team with a losing record. WOW!

Yeah, and we lived through the Bill Battle days

Our defense played 3 quarters of shutout football. This O-Line of ours, though, has some serious psychological issues. It isn't that they can't block, it's as if they refuse to block. Hell, anyone can throw their body in front of a defender and at least get in the way, but these guys won't even do that! Almost as if they're afraid of contact.

The old saying is " it can't get any worse". Well by golly as horrible as it was last year and several years since 2009, we have literally gotten worse. I can't imagine where these OL coaches start on Monday. These guys are mostly undersized/weak (68,58,70,57), or flat out soft(68,70,57,51), recovering from injury (76), or still don't get their assignments consistently (ALL). With a new staff and new scheme, the last one might make sense. But it's November and our offense seems pretty dang straight forward.

I would assume with him being 68 years old that he did watch last year. And he is right, this is the worst team...

Being 68 or 28 is irrelevant.

And no, hes wrong. This years team beat a ranked SEC team on the road. That trumped any 2 wins the flute guy had last year while he was getting his contract for his buyout set up.
