Is this a signature win?

[Carl Pickens]

Considering the Tennessee program bottomed out last year...... wtf guys..... call it a signature win and let it go

 

[DocVOLiday]

Lol this isn’t a signature win. It’s kentucky. If this win is followed by an undefeated rest of the year then yeah maybe

the ol' "signature finish"

 

[VolinMC]

lol man how far have we fallen that UK is a signature win...but i mean....it was one of two signature wins this year.

It's partly how far we've fallen, but also that Kentucky was having their best season in like 30 years.

This is what some refuse to see,,these are not the same teams from years gone by. Kentucky has become a good team and our Vols had hit rock bottom. Like someone said earlier,if you remove the name its still the #11 team in the country.
To me it and Auburn are signature wins for the team and especially a coach in his first head coaching job that some were doubting before the season was halfway over.

Haha, agreed. We're good at turning a good thing into an argument about exactly how good it was, and turning it into...meh.

UK fans got hosed. Lost to UGA, lost badly to Duke then lost badly to the Vols.

 

[Vol For Eternity]

A win against Kentucky in basketball is a signature win. Not in football. They are terribly over rated.

A 5 point favorite isn't exactly "heavy" .... very big win for us nonetheless.

That says a lot. #11 only a 5 pt favorite over a 4-5 team?

 

[tennesseeduke]

Does this count as a signature win?

Yes even though I hate the term. 2 wins over top 15 teams in 1st season with this o-line is amazing.

Auburn on the road was more impressive and man I wish we could have closed the USC game out.

Misswho next!

It's kinda like "turning the corner" discussions. Given where we were, there are a bunch of corners to turn before we re back where we want to be. That doesnt happen with 1 win, 1 recruiting class, or even 1 season. We ve turned a couple this year if we finish above .500 we turn another. If we land inside the top 10 recruiting, we turned another. Still more to be done after all that.

 

[NWGVol]

I think is qualifies as a signature win for THIS team, but not the program.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Love what’s he’s done wi

We've been able to beat 2 ranked SEC clubs with an undermanned squad. Can you imagine what Pruitt can do with a few more classes.[/QU

Love y’all hat he’s done with our secondary, big test next week though

 

[GulfCoasterVol]

At this point ... EVERY win is a signature win.......

 

[AaronUT]

If it makes top recruits rubberneck our way, then it's a signature win (Quavarius Crouch, Justin Egoibe, Owen Pappoe).

Easy

 

[Volhoops]

It was a great win but not a signature win I mean it is only Kentucky. They should have already had three losses before we played them if it wasn't for the gift from the SEC officials, MIzzouri should have gotten the victory over them.

How many "signature wins" do you need before you no longer have "signature wins"?

 

[Rushin Orange Collusion]

Forget semantics. Signature win or not, things are looking a brighter shade of orange on our beloved Rocky Top!
