Last year when Tennessee fired off to big leads and then choked down the stretch we blamed the coaches. This year Tennessee has gotten off to some rotten starts -- to no fault of the playcalling -- and then the team adjusts and rallies... and we still blame the coaches.
I'm as tired as anyone about these bad starts, but at some point we have to collectively agree that bad teams don't overcome this sort of adversity. We're a good team that has made some critical mistakes early on and then every time we've fought back. Let's acknowledge the second part that we need to eliminate the mistakes but also acknowledge the first part that we are a good team, players and coaches both.
Yes we won and I'm as happy as anybody just tired of the scared play calling to put game away...cost us 2-3 games last year for those with shirt memories
Yeah we won buy a miracle pass that happens like 1-100? Just saying with 2 min left and GA with TO he once again is scared to put the game away
This is the weakest SEC east in over 20 years. I wouldnt be surprised if UT is the only team from the east to finish in the top 20.Last year when Tennessee fired off to big leads and then choked down the stretch we blamed the coaches.

Learned nothing from last years blown games. The last offensive drive when we could have killed the clock looked just like last years. Love what they have done in many ways but show up with a team ready to play 4 qtrs and learn from past mistakes.
It is pretty sad when you have to bail yourself out with the Hail Mary. All we needed to do was to complete a pass for a first down and burn the clock and their timeouts. Instead he put it on the defense with three starters out of the game.
Luck. But of course I'm happy we won
