He has had this horrible habit of leaving our best players on the field practically AL GAME LONG, and that's why our defense may look stout in the first half and look soft in the 2nd half. It contributed mightily in every loss and nearly cost us in this game.
He admitted last year that our starters were playing too many snaps. He said it again this year. Whose fault is that, pray tell? That's right. It's HIS fault! McKenzie probably didn't get 10 snaps all night. Kyle Phillips should be spelling Barnett, and Lewis spelling Vareern...more frequently. Chris Weatherd should be spelling Reeves Mabin a lot more.
He just is too damn skeeeeeeered to rotate those guys, and it always seems to come back later in the game and bite us in the bum. We have the depth...that Butch always complains about us not having. We just are too damn afraid to let the backups step up and handle their business.

Nope. Tuttle and Maggit being lost have nothing to do with it. The answer is obviously replacing JRM with a tweener pass rushing specialist, and taking DB out in favor of an injured freshman.This is ridiculous. Our defense looks soft in the second half because we do not have quality depth and our freaking offense runs the hurry up and does nothing with it for numerous series in a row. So our defense gets very little rest and has to go right back in. We are ridiculously thin on the D-line.

All I know is UT should beat SC by 14 at least. SO there IS a problem. SOMEWHERE. Without the fumble, Vols lose. That's just being real.

our offense just needs to stay on the field longer in the second half
Sheesh is right. You can see the defense get gassed in the 3rd and 4th Qtr in each of our losses and tonight. It's a real problem and like I said twice, already....Janzek has admitted that it's a problem. Last year and this year.
So how bad should MSU have beaten Nebraska by? How bad should Florida have beaten Vandy? How about OSU and VT last year? Reality check partner, bad games happen to even the best teams.
