We'll see if this Tennessee squad can be a 3rd / 4th quarter team like some of the great ones in the past. That will be hard to do with our depth though.

The coaching staff will make the adjustments for the second half. If the players can execute, we'll win. We have the talent to beat Oregon tonight, that much is evident.

Ok so here is the real question how do the coaches handle half time? Can Wilcox come out and stun the Oregon offense? Will Derrick Dooley motivate his players to play an outstanding second half? I'd like to see a couple more screens... Oku can break tackles. Also why not throw it up to Hunter a couple more times... he outjumped their stud cornerback...

First possession is critical. I'm looking forward to seeing our defensive adjustments. I can't remember when we tweaked our D after halftime.

Our guys are playing hard. If the crowd stays in it we have a punchers chance.

It was prior to Chavis' arrival in '95.

The tales of the greatness of your defense were wildly exaggerated. Who'da thunk it?

So the Vol defense holds us to 13 and everyone on here is singing their praises but the UO Defense does the same thing and we're garbage?

The tackling has been god awful but other then that we've held what appears to be a good offense to just two FG's and a TD despite giving them great field position the whole half. Not great but not awful either. And you can bet on seeing some adjustments.

don't understand that call....if he was going for the ball wasn't it obvious he wasnt trying to hit the dude when he was down...complete b.s ...oregon homers probably

Dooley will have the team fired up but I fear the normal thing a fan fears, one bad thing happens and the team gets a bit deflated and then a snowball effect.

If I was the coach it would be simple. I would take a football and hand it to someone else. Then I would ask the defense "Who has the ball?" Hopefully, they answer correctly and I tell them that's who they tackle.

We have to keep the 12th man going..... The crowd has played a huge part so far and we have to keep it going...

We did the same thing last week..... For some reason we really let up for the last part of the 2nd quarter then we came alive again in the 2nd half.....


Hopefully the crowd can get the team jacked up again for the 2nd half...

GO BIG ORANGE!!!!

So you're saying Tennessee is just as explosive as Oregon on offense? Thanks!
