Not ready to lose all hope

[checkerboards09]

I'm trying stay positive here, even though it's hard. One thing of note that I do hold out hope on is being a second half team like the first half of last year. We came out strong at halftime against Florida, Georgia, etc.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Hopefully we can make the right adjustments against that option.

 

[Headed For Home]

There are literally about 4 or 5 plays that have killed us. A couple of bad plays by Martin and a couple of key drops.

When you know they gonna run it everytime and still cant stop it...not much hope there. Sucks

 

[wickedlester5150]

Need to make a qb change;like now!

 

[EweTVol]

Justin Martin will not cover is another thing they have known for years

Exactly. It's like they're so paranoid of a pass they're ignoring the run game.

Got to keep GTs offense off the field.

 

[JRVOL11]

If we get a stop after half, I think we pull this one out .

Finding someone strong enough to stop their FB would be great. He is dragging 3 players 4 yards every play it seems.

I'm probably nitpicking at this point, but Dormady's delivery looks different than I remember. I'm probably just imagining things though.

Out hit, out smarted, out coached- I am seriously sick of Butch Jones and this incompetent staff. Give the Tech coaches our players and vice versa the score would be 21-0 Tech at halftime. 5th year and the best we have finished is THIRD in the east? Time for a big change.

 

[dduncan4163]

We have played into their hands perfectly. We have got to sustain drives. The WRs have got to start catching the damn football too.

 

[Wildasamink16]

Let's beat these fools down! More subs on d ! When we get them down 2 scores they will haft to abandon their game plan

Yes

Tenn hasn't played very many people on DL & they look gassed. That won't change in the 2nd half.

Playing Vickers and kMac almost exclusively in 1st half was coaching malpractice. Hoke has to play more people.

He's zipping them in too hard plus the ball wobbles out of his hand bad

He has happy feet when he has the time and is staring down his receivers. Just looks jumpy overall to me

 

[1985Vols]

The triple option is a difficult offense to stop.. If our offense doesn't play more efficient in 2nd half , we are screwed and could lose by 21+ points

Yup

 

[JACK8254]

J Martin is not a Cornerback- find him a new position.

Still hope....for Music City Bowl

Yup our Offense has not helped our D tonight.

I agree. Seems different
