I've literally never felt better about a loss. Obviously I'm not happy that we lost, but I'm proud of these boys, these coaches, this team. Go. Big. Orange.

If they win next week, this game won't even matter. That's for sure.

Definitely proud of our boys.

I will refrain from talking about the coaching staff for now.

Who is going to be able to play next week against Bama the greatest team ever assembled (blue font). Who won't be out on concussion watch?

You really cannot blame the coaches for this one. Good playcalling for the majority of the game. Extremely piss poor execution by the players.

The defense to end the game in regulation and in OT leaves something to be desired.

This game showed me that Butch is the right man to have for the job and is best for the future success of the Vols. He may not be perfect with in-game decisions and at times is too conservative, but he has developed these young men to be physically and mentally tough. Every player feels capable of beating any opponent in any circumstance and that is something most teams don't have.
This may be a loss today, but we have a lot to be hopeful with moving forward. Doesn't matter if we are down by 3 possessions, playing our 3rd stringers, or if we had a breakdown the prior possession. We don't give up, we keep fighting, and no one will deny us from attaining greatness!!

There is no give up in this team. Hate losing, but I take my hat off to the team and their effort. Can't wait to see them get healthy and get those turnovers fixed. GBO

I'm proud of this team but the reality is that this loss means UF has a much easier shot at making it to the SEC championship now. If we're sitting at home in November we'll be able to point at 7 turnovers being the reason for that

As proud of these kids as I am, you are totally right about looking back at the turnovers if we don't make it to Atlanta. Still think we are going though.

Still need a more consistent OC.

Georgia will beat this UF team. We can beat bama if we dont turn the ball over 7 times. Heartbreaking loss, but all id good.

There's going to be more teams than Georgia beat Florida.

I really am confused why some people actually think it's a given Florida beats UGA and Arkansas. Florida is just not that good. This isn't a Spurrier or Meyer team. They are just as injured as us, especially on defense and have an inept offense with a backup QB. If Eason plays well, dawgs win the game easy.

I'm proud of their never say die attitude. We really nailed our own coffin today. Hold on to the ball and this would have been a victory.

We had almost 700 yards of offense. I question some of the defensive calls but I'm very pleased overall, obviously some execution could've been much better, but we had a chance at the end.
