Not fun to watch

Everyone’s record against top tier teams is bad. Idk what point you think you’re making right now

So everyone’s record is 2-13 recently against ranked teams? That’s our record. It’s that simple.

That’s not his record against ranked teams.

And nobody cares about 4 years ago. In the present time however, they’re in the SECCG and in the playoffs. Name one team in the top 25 that is the same team 4 freaking years ago.

No kidding. Vandy just whipped the Heupel led Vols like red headed step children in Neyland.

See post #65. I was going with his post because I didn’t really want to look it up. Maybe that’s after season rankings but Heupel’s record (ranked at the time of the game) is 10-14 against ranked teams. That’s still not favorable.

Seems reasonable. Not sure what the problem is

Yes, my bad on that, it's actually 4-11 on last 15, not much better

Is that after season rankings? When I looked at rankings on game day, we’re 10-14 over Heupel’s career at TN.

I just did, Tennessee football results and counted from Vandy yesterday back. Not sure how rankings were fugured.

0 for last 6 I know. 0-4 this year and Ohio St and Georgia

So you’re saying we lost to Georgia 2x, Ohio State, Alabama, Vandy, and Oklahoma.

I’m really not seeing the problem. Do you think we should have beat Georgia or Ohio State in 2024?

He needs a good running qb to operate. Joey has been solid this year but he’s not good enough at scrambling. Oklahoma showed that if you just blitz him constantly eventually it wears him down. Lea studied the film and came up with a great gameplan. Gotta give credit where it’s due.

I disagree. Without an offensive line (and we did not have an offensive line this year) the best quarterbacks would have spent the game running for their lives. We didn't see the failures that much because eight of our games were against cupcake teams. I have absolutely NO complaints about Aguilar and, if he gets another year of eligibility, I'd be thrilled to have him for another season.

So you dont see a problem losing 6 straight big games and winning only games against inferior teams? Guess we can agree to disagree on that, I have higher expectations I guess.

[SicEmSmokey33]

You expect us to only beat the teams we are supposed to? If we never win the big ones, we never win anything. Did you expect us to lose to Oklahoma and Vandy at home?

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

So we have Bama, Texas and LSU at home next year, all three will likely be ranked. You gonna expect us to loss all 3 since we will likely be under dogs?

You got to have the right QB. A.guy that is a threat with his legs as well as someone that can hit the deep ball.. Joey was a tire patch, he had limitations that teams finally figured out and exploited after they had seen enough film.. The QB is unaccounted for a lot of times. I think Tennessee didn't keep teams honest enough with that aspect.

Maybe we did do that because we only had two freshmen behind him?
