Classy post. Hope you guys were treated well by the fans. I'm sure you are ok with a little humor, but some are obnoxious. Yes our glaring weakness is at QB. He played a horrible second half and the play calls were predictable. One key factor I believe that we continue to struggle with is making the necessary adjustments at the half. We were out coached and late your desire to win was greater than ours. Good luck with the rest of your schedule.

It just baffles me and blows my mind that all these fans(whether they be our fans or fans from another program) can clearly see the problems on the field but our Coach can not.

Two easy fixes yet our coach hasn't even bothered to fix them.

Now it's pretty obvious he's just trying to get fired to get that buyout money.

Being at Neyland was an experience unlike any other. I expected it to be loud, but having been to Nebraska and Michigan I didn't think it would be noticeably different, but boy was I wrong. Every defensive snap you guys were loud like none other, it caused a bunch of 1st half penalties. Your fans also were so inviting and pleasant. I enjoyed chatting with you guys. The night sky and the whole stadium was an unrivaled sight. I hope we play again so I can have an excuse to go back. Hopefully some of you can make it to Provo in 2023. It isn't quite the same experience, but it is still fun and great.

After watching the GSU game I had no idea what to expect in this one. I knew your team was going to come out motivated after that loss, and you did. That opening drive hurt, especially after the review reversed the pass that should have been incomplete (indisputable is used loosely these days). I thought it was going to be a LONG game for us. Your backs are impressive, I will give them that. Every play had one or two broken tackles giving you 3-5 more yards. Jennings is a man of a WR as well, that OT touchdown was a thing of beauty. Ah You couldn't have played that ball any better, but Jennings willed that TD to existence.

I see 2 main problems with Tennessee. You guys drove the ball all day long against us, but couldn't finish drives. This mainly happened because your QB was missing throws left and right. I know that many of you are calling for his head, and for good reason. His first TD throw and the INT both went right to our shortest LB on the field. A better QB and you guys score atleast 14 more points in regulation. The other main problem was the predictable play calling. Our rush defense was very effective on 3rd down and short, getting key stops every time we needed it. An occasional play action or screen on 3rd and short would have kept our defense more honest and may have lead to more prolonged drives for you guys.

I see a talented but disorganized team. You guys don't have many holes, QB and rushing defense. Cimaglia is a dang impressive kicker. I'll be cheering for you guys this year, and hope you guys get to a bowl game. I think 2020 will be your year, I would be surprised if you guys weren't vastly improved with all the talent on your roster. Hopefully Pruitt can clean things up.


Whats sad is you didn't get the full rocky top rockin' experience. It was loud on a night where alot of us suffered from Battered Vol Syndrome. Wish you could hear it when things are rollin'!

Thanks for the kind words, wish we had a home and home with you guys. Have seen your stadium , beautiful location at the foot of the Wasatch.

Glad you enjoyed it. Provo is one of the few road games I plan on going to.

Good to hear you enjoyed your time in Knoxville. If you think that was loud, should have been to the Oklahoma game. Your assessment of our team is pretty good. Our QB holds us back and I believe our lack of mixing up the playing calling is for that reason alone. I'm sure your loss to Utah was tough but the take away is that many analysts expect them to contend for the PAC 12 so that maybe that loss isn't as bad as one might think. Not to mention the rivalry between you two. With that said, wish the best for BYU this year and maybe our loss to you won't hurt as bad if you guys win out. Just trying to find that silver lining haha.

I can't even imagine how that play could have gotten better or louder, it was deafening. You guys are some great fans, and I hope you keep showing up even if the season stays rough.
