Ya I like the Vols. My ex and her family were all Vols so that’s where I got inaugurated.

No question it stinks in Tacoma. Thankfully I grew up on Lake Washington in Bellevue so we didn’t get the Everett/Tacoma stench

I definitely enjoyed being in the Gorge much more

I'm reminded again how much the OL and DL need to improve. Particularly the OL. Can't believe all the whiffs and arm blocks and generally the inability to consistently convert 3rd and 1. On a bright note I did see a couple of pass plays with good protection.

How is it they continue to shoot themselves in the foot .... it's the one thing they are consistent at. Unbelievable.

Seem to be building an identity on back shoulder and 50-50 balls. Receivers are definitely winning those battles.

Running backs are also a strength. Secondary has a lot of room for growth, but I think we will see that with CJP. Defense is playing hard, they seem to create opportunities each game such as turnovers. Today they scored.

Having a hard hard time evaluating Helton and this offense with that OL. Thought there was a spark with Chryst in there, but....... Dunno

Yes the end result sucked. 58-21 sucks but we played better then in past years. If we get decent recruits next year maybe it’s a closer game but then again we got Tua to deal with at minimum one more year if not 2....he likely plays all 4 years before going pro....but I’m hoping the streak ends in 2020!!

They only ran one play the entire game. Toss seep left; toss sweep right. They said they were going to run it until we stopped it. We never did. The final was 56-28 in Knoxville. We had beat them four straight years prior, so that was tough to take....

I know it's sacrilegious to many, but continuing to play Bama in this era is just plain stupid. I'd rather play them in Atlanta than have then prevent us from ever getting there. Just wait, one year soon we will beat Florida and lose to UGA and Bama and freaking UF will of course go to Atlanta because we just had to have that whoopin on the 3rd Saturday in October. Times have changed folks. There are too many other teams to play to keep having an automatic loss before we ever play our first game.

I remember Gene Jelks. That dude seemed to be on their team for 10 years!

I wasn't even thinking about using this game as a measuring stick for Pruitt. Next week, however, is huge.

We all knew this was coming and our guys fought hard like they have all season. Next week is a big game. A win against SC sets us up to have a really nice season after that mess in 2017.

I'd say there have been amputations that hurt less than having to be at this game. That being said I think we have a chance at salvaging this season when we start to play beatable teams

I'm pretty disappointed in the continued over-all lack of discipline, and idiotic execution penalties on special teams. It's too late in the season to still be seeing that kind of garbage on a weekly basis.

I think that’s the frustrating thing for me. Stupid personal fouls. What was the fair catch-no fair catch to start the second half? And I think that was what Pruitt talking about after the game that it was too big for some.

Agreed; special teams still looks like special ed, and it shouldn't this late in the season... you don't need 5* players to have a competent special teams unit.
