A win is a win but I want to be brutally honest

TN just doesn’t pass the eye test. Pretty good offense at times, poor defense, not any players that scare you as an opposing coach.

If Brazzell doesn’t scare opposing coaches then not much scares them. He’s tearing it up this season.

I'll never understand the "Oh we a 5-1 we are fine" crowd... Who have we actually beat that is decent? What good is 5-1 when we haven't learned from our mistakes and keep failing to produce better results on the defensive side of the ball. 3rd down was an automatic conversion last night, no matter the distance they needed.

We will get manhandled this week by players that are equal to or better talent. Sunshine pumpers can enjoy 5-1 and beating up on SEC jv squads. It's big boy football time now, will the coaches have the prepared and ready to go?

You don’t think we have a shot?

We have some studs on the D-line, which makes it really disturbing how bad we have been overall on defense. We might have the worst safety tandem in the SEC with Turrentine and Farooq honestly. We lost Jakobe Thomas to the portal and didn’t replace him with anyone? I’m just not sure how anyone can watch our defense and not think Tim Banks should be fired. Once again i’m glad we won but it’s getting really tiring of the holes being wide open in our defense and getting gashed in the run game/ not containing the QB. From week 1 until now our defense has not only looked bad, but i would argue they are getting worse each week. Go Vols

I just don’t see this team beating AL, FL and OK. Hope I’m wrong.

LOL, sounds like you just need to stop watching sports in general if this is your outlook.

All Star is not wrong. Unless we play better on Saturday, we lose three more games.
