Official UT vs. Alabama Game Thread

Because Tennessee pretty much has exhausted all their mental and physical energy by half.

If the physical energy is gone then UT is completely out of shape...I'm not saying they should be world beaters but the fact that it's so sudden, and after 20 minutes of rest, makes me think there's more to it than depth
 
It'll take time, young coach young team. I really don't think talent is an issue, we have the talent just severely lack the experience. I expect a big turn around next season.

When you are starting Joe Ayers at DT there is a talent issue. Also, this is JMO but I think many of us have an inflated view of how talented some of our players are (Evans, Waggner, Jones, etc). I'm not sure how many of our players would be starting anywhere else in the SEC. I'm even starting to doubt Walker and co.
 
I have serious questions about Chaney's play calling for the offense. Some of his calls just absolutely make no sense. At one point in the 4th quarter, we passed on first down for an incompletion, ran on 2nd down for 4 yards, ran on 3rd down for 5 yards and went for it on a fourth and 1 and passed the ball with an incompletion and thus gave the ball back to Bama. What sense does that make? To me it's stupidity!!!!
 
I think part of the reason why Tenneessee played with Bama in the first half is because Bama lacked the intensity needed to play SEC opponents and Tennessee was prepared. That lack of intensity has been a concern for weeks now. Once Bama turned on the intensity level in the 2nd half, couple with the superior players and coaches, Tennessee had no shot in the 2nd half.

I look at Tennesse roster and I see some good young players and I tell my friends, 3 years from tonight Tennessee/Bama game will be the PREMIER game of the SEC schedule again. I really do think you guys got a good coach in Dooley (anybody who coached for a few years under Saban will eventually be a good coach) but don't on him too much, considering he has to clean up the previous two head coaches (I refused to name both idiots) messes. I do compare your era with Dooley with Bama's era with Shula. Shula only got the Bama job because of daddy, cause he was not prepared for such a fishbowl coaching job. And while he did leave Bama with an average record, his one good season with the two was a product of his players winning despite his incompetence. (Biggest problem for Shula was allowing clicks to formed, and not in the good way).

You guys will see the light soon, just remember at least you're not West Georgia Tigers and "The Criminal" Cam Newton.

PS: RollTideGuy does not represent Bama fans. There are many like me that prefer the UA/UT game to have meaning again. Tennessee playing like Vanderbilt is not how I want the wins. Good luck in the future.
