Are we any better?

[BeardedVol]

I remember when Saban went 6-6 his first regular season at Bama, which was no improvement at all on Shula's 6-6 regular season the season before. And I remember a whole lot of Vol fans ridiculing Bama fans for Bama hiring him. Those are probably the same Vol fans that are on here moaning because Pruitt didn't build Rome in a day.

Just leave this right...here.

Maybe because it's still the same team as last year. We didnt just magically draft a whole new team.

Neither did WVU...and yet magically they produced more offense against us than they did against FCS teams last year.

DL worse
LB worse
Secondary worse

QB better
TE better
RB same
OL slighty better

For us to beat anybody in the SEC this defense has to improve 100 percent. No difference than with Bob Shoop defense still collapsing in the second half just as they did last year. Offense could be really good if the OL gets better with every game.

Where's the blowout loss? Or maybe I should say losses as UGa, Bama and Auburn are sure to be...

Yes we're a better team. I seen a coaching staff actually make adjustments in the first quarter and taught and coached the whole game.
Not waiting til halftime to adjust or not adjust.
I seen a head coach that hates losing more than us shoulder the blame for how his players played. Not Butches players, his players.
I seen players not quitting and giving it their best effort for the most. These just aren't the players for this style of football but they give effort. We're just missing a few D linemen and that Alpha dog in the middle like Al Wilson. A leader on the field that won't except no less than 100%. Unfortunately those kids haven't been recruited yet.

Hang in there Volnation

I seen the past and I have seen the future. Both scare me.

Butch would have lost this game 60-3.

Absolutely!

I have a novel idea. Why don't we all just shutup and let Pruitt do his job, and if at the end of the year we don't see improvement in his product then we pull a Greg Schiano on him and get him dismissed. Hey how many of us knocked it out of the park on our first day at a new job.

That's a brilliant idea
