There are 50 threads for all the complainers. Please use those threads to talk all you want negatively. Some are warranted but I'm asking for a positive view thread here.

A few thoughts:

**I actually thought we spread the ball around a lot better. The offense was more relaxed and in position more today.

**Dobbs seemed to be better with his check downs and throws today. His completions were good and would be better if not for the 2 clear drops. He still completed 70% of his passes.

**The Oline made a few mistakes today but seemed like they did progress from last week to this week. Maybe not as much as we like but I did see improvement.

**While our Dline didn't break the bank with sacks today they punished the QB a ton pass after pass.

**The Dline also seemed to lock down the running game as well. I knew we had a secure win early because of how solid and aggressive the Dline was playing.

**Malone and Byrd played well with the ball in their hands. Both of them showed off their talent.

**Croom played a solid game at his new position.

**Mosely did get his head around during coverage this week.

**We had over 400 yards on offense!

**Our mistakes and busted coverage are correctable errors. We still look like a solid team with the ability to put it all together.

**For the first time since 2004 we are 3-0 (12 years)

**For the first time since (I don't know when) we are on a 9-0 run.

**We still have a very healthy offense.

**The NC team of '98 struggled with Syracuse, a weak AUBURN team and UAB. Three teams they should have blown away. 5* talent across the board back then but they won and when all said and done... Well, you know

**Florida's offense isn't playing well against the 127th team in the nation.

**Florida QB Del Rio is out for next weeks game. Hope he recovers fast after missing our game.

Ready for FL! Go Vols!! Feel free to add anymore positive stats and info and I'll add it to the list.

If you want to discuss I am all for it but please leave the "we suck, I hate CBJ, Fire Debord, Hurd's overrated, we've already lost to FL..." comments for another thread.

This team is a scrappy bunch that finds a way to win. It may not be pretty at all times, but we're 3-0 and hopefully we can punch Florida in the mouth.

Also, congratulations to Jason Croom on the big game! I noticed Croom was in as our only TE / H-back for a lot of series after Wolf's drop on the second play of the game.

The Virginia Tech team Tennessee KO'd last week just notched a 49-0 win over Boston College. Maybe that 3-0 record is a bit better than some people believe ...

Having that winning mentality and finding ways to win is something I think others overlook.

We made some mistakes to keep their drives alive and gave up some big plays on busted coverages...those things are VERY correctable so I take that as a positive as well...we'll need to eliminate those errors to best Florida but like I said, those are correctable issues...

We right where I expected to be. 3-0. Don't care how we got here. Only thins that count are wins and losses. 3 wins so far means 3 drinks of ole smokey apple pie shine...my choice of celebratory drink.

Weisman played much better at center today than he did on the edge. It makes sense, I accidentally bumped into his mom after the game and nearly fell over.

Screw the negas, they're pretty much making this board unreadable because they want some drama.

we're 3-0, that's undefeated if you're not counting. And we'll be undefeated until we're not.
