It wasn't FL that beat us...it was us.

[HoopCreekVol]

FL did not play us as tough as I would have imagined. They capitalized on our mistakes. You will never win when you give FL 30 yards based on penalties. All on stupid stuff that should never have happened. Missed and dropped passes are not good either. Any team that is close to FL's level will be hard for us to beat. They will readily see our weaknesses and take full advantage.

Easy, I got told to GT*O for a similar comment against Pitt.

3rd down & 8 in the early 3rd qtr. Hooker passes to a wide-open Calloway on the right. Ball hits him in the hands & drops it. Nothing but a TD after that. I'm so tired of this crap. I had to turn the game off after that.

I was literally thinking the exact same thing just now.

I mean the poor execute, overthrows (still), drops, ridiculous amount of penalties. Heupel and Co actually called a great game but he's gotta get the team locked in when it comes to execution and being discipline. We could have won this game.

 

[TNHopeful505]

I mean.....here's some math for you:

Already thin roster + dropped passes + untimely penalties + missed field goals = Loss 100% of the time.

I'm disappointed at the penalties on the offensive line. I would have hoped by game #4 we would have them cleaned up.

I'm disappointed by our wide receivers inability to catch passes at critical times.

But overall, I recognize this team just doesn't have a large margin of error for mistakes and injuries.

The absolute best thing that can happen to Tennessee Football right now is that the NCAA approved teams filling spots to make up for what they lost in the transfer portal. I feel like our lack of depth really really showed today.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

I don't know if we win or not, but execution was terrible. Definitely a closer game if we don't make all the mistakes.

That said, our lack of depth on OL and defense showed. Not much Heupel can do about that right now.

 

[casetopia]

So we won?

 

[TnVol!]

Florida manhandled Tennessee. We have no real SEC quarterback and no depth on the offensive line. We have no elite skill players. Florida has all the things we don't have.

 

[Delmar]

Florida is just a better team right now. We played well for a while. Too many mistakes and penalties again. And I think the defense got worn down in the second half due to lack of depth. Just the way it is right now. Overall I believe the team is better prepared than I’ve seen since Kiffin’s one season.

 

[alavolfan]

I agree. We always make stupid mistakes that cost us and change momentum.Our QB situation is the most hindering thing right now, and execution on offense.

Good teams find a way to win, bad teams find a way to lose.

 

[VolArmy74]

They beat us and it shouldn't be a shock at all. They have a full roster of great recruits in their 4th year with the same staff. They have a top 3 defense in the SEC and a top 3 offense.

Our mistakes cost us the Pitt game; the Florida loss was due to being outmanned. We gave them our best shot which is clearly not good enough. Florida is a much better team right now.

No Florida beat us!

 

[1986sugarvols]

Lost by 24 yeah Florida didn't beat Vols

 

[Rylee_Vol18]

Nah, they beat us. Talent isn't on par with them.

Sorry but false starts, 9 players on the field for a return, and balls bouncing off receivers hands have nothing to do with the Gators talent level.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

We played them alot tougher than some of the so called fans we got. We're getting better, gonna win 7. GBO!!!!!

 

[sonrise7]

I want someone on this board to explain to me why Heupel put Milton in the game instead of Harrison Bailey.

 

[1986sugarvols]

I think it's called a mud hole in our toot

Tennessee certainly made their mistakes.

Tennessee certainly could have made things much tighter.

But Florida beat Tennessee. They wore Tennessee down and beat them.


Florida started with more than Tennessee has……then the longer it goes the back up situation is even worse.

Make no mistake……the longer it went to more Florida imposed their will.


Could have…..maybe should have been tighter……but right now…..Tennessee is going to Tennessee and make those dumb mistakes.
