Congratulations Kentucky fans, y'all wanted it worst and it showed as your team played from the heart.
Tennessee ....... I have not jumped on the "Dooley has to go bandwagon" .... but today was close. We conceded the game when we threw the Wildcat in after a brilliant pass and catch play and then fumbled when it was 1st and goal.
Unless you have a passing threat at Wildcat and have a player that takes enough snaps and reps ...FORGET IT! It would be better to use Simms in a wildcat formation if it is needed than to throw a person that does not handle the ball much especially from a shotgun formation and hasn't shown any inkling to pass anyway all year. What's really tough to swallow is having Randy Sanders coming up with the offensive plan for Kentucky that worked for their win. They couldn't pass but they tricked us enough to make us think that they might .... and kept us off balance the whole game.
For me Dooley still gets a pass this year but next year at this time if we're looking at similar results for the season, then Tennessee has wasted time getting back to a top 10 or even a top 25 program. I understand losing to Florida, Georgia, Bama, LSU, and Arkansas this year as we were outmanned and had less talent. We could have taken the Gamecocks, we were lucky with the win over Vandy, and today was a total blown game by the coaching staff as the players did not have the preparation needed to win on the road.
See everyone next September.
