At some point we need to address Tennessee’s slow starts

[HooahVol]

Regardless how this Vandy game turns out have we had a single game this year where we looked good in the first half? Why does our team always start so slow?

 

[OrangeInKy]

I feel that issue has been discussed

 

[utvolpj]

Started pretty well against uga

UGA is notorious for its slow starts.

They party on Fridays without discipline

 

[HooahVol]

We did just tie it up so that is something. Still, we can’t do the crappy 1st quarter thing in the playoffs or we are toast.

 

[Doberman]

Makes me insane.

Vols playing tight as usual against a Vandy team playing for a Superbowl win

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

We are vastly more talented than Vandy. There is ZERO excuses to justify this crappy start. Sorry but this is a huge red flag.

I would start with making changes with the OC. Offense hasn’t been the same since Golesh left.

Just need to play a solid 4 quarters each playoff game after getting the win in Nashville today.

My daughter was friends with Golesh’s daughter when she was at CAK. They have stayed in touch. It may be shameless but I keep telling my daughter to tell Corbin he is welcome to come back.

Golesh had a 4th and 5th year QB

Define “we” do you have plans to sit down with the coaches, go over it with dinner at their house or?

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Golesh had a 4th and 5th year QB

We had a 6th year guy last year and didn’t look nearly as good

Lol that's what I was thinking. What do you mean "we" need to address it

lol, good point. They are welcome. Probably the better point is why do those here who have watched every game think we struggle with this.

Last year was Halzes first year as a play caller

Who was beaten out by that 4th and 5th year guy.

I think overall the difference is in our WRs, though Thornton and Bru are good. White is good too but not quite at the level of Hyatt/Tillman. Brazzell is decent, the others are inconsistent compared to the Hooker years

My feelings exactly.

He hasn’t improved in year 2.

We were very fortunate Milton got hurt

 

[bpalmer28]

I have zero complaints about the offense other than Dylan’s fumble. 24 points in a half against an SEC opponent is good.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Not turning the ball over on our first possession would be a big help. Didn’t that happen like four times this season (including today)?
