Extremely hard to beat a really good team on their home field

TN QB make a mistake but is still outstanding. TN is just as good as Bama, but the noise and pick 6 was the difference in the game. and really turned it in Bama's favor. That's what a home field and wild crowd does for a team. TN has lots of 1st yr players who, in many cases, are playing against much more seasoned players. They will continue to improve. Every game TN plays is going to be tough. Everyone has very good players now.
Funny how the human physique works! When things go awry we look for excuses to justify what we refuse to accept! Look I have followed the Vols
longer than some of you have been alive and yes I’ve been disappointed numerous times times! I also remember the 1998 national championship and how it felt to be on top! But one advantage you should have through years of wisdom is you don’t need AI or a I phone 17 to tell you what should be obvious! We are a middle of the road team with a decent offense but a horrible defense! 7 games in and we aren’t making what we are! Minor changes can be b made this year but we need a major overhaul or next year will be worse!

A football coordinator’s job is to assess the opponent, and build a plan to defeat them by leveraging mismatches in our favor and scheming to minimize the opposite.

Then adjusting to the flow of the game.

OC utterly failed.
- not working the run
- 8-10 pointless sideline passes when they have fast DBs
- the pick 6 call

DC did improve some. Got some key second half stops but O couldn’t capitalize

Cherry on top is the nonsensical CJH clock management
Hazale has been average at best. Hasn’t shown me anything to make me say he is worth keeping. He or Martinez at the db position. We had him once before and it’s the same ole stuff.

No such thing as tackling also helps the other team. Also stupid play calls don't help
