I'm encouraged!

Othe than some great plays by Dobbs, I've seen more exciting offense this year than in the past 10 years of UT football. Even in the loss to UF, there were some explosive plays. One aspect of Fulmer's offense that I always hated was that the offense was plodding, plays developed very slowly and yards after catches were few and far between. The 90+ yard Saturday run for a TD was great- a hole opened up, the UT running back exploded thru the hole, made some moves and outran the defense to the goal line. When was the last time we had a 90 yard run from scrimmage for a TD? This offensive production comes with a severely depleted roster, after only a few games under a new coach and new system. We are probably at least 3-5 years away from seriously challenging UF or UGA or similar top 15 teams, but I have seen progress so far this season and reason to be cautiously optimistic about the future.

Please be sure you say Fulmer's offense without Cutcliffe.

The last time we had a 90+ yard run/play was when Gray ran that one against Vandy, but I agree the offense is more fun to watch than I have seen in a long time.

It's not just the offense. I've been encouraged by the play of our defense as well. I honestly wasn't expecting the type of production we're getting from that side of the ball.

Or Randy Sanders?
