Please don't coach "scared" this weekend

We will prolly go up by 17 early and then take a knee the rest of the game and hope we can hold on for dear life. This appears to be CBJ's game strategy.

To paraphrase Yogi Berra's quote on baseball:

“Football is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical.”

I agree! Open the playbook completely up and even if we get beat make it a game for 60 minutes!!

No, the mindset is not even if we get beat, it is refuse to lose. No moral victories, no Mr. Nice Guy, take it to them and bring home a victory for Tn, yourselves, and the fans that pack Neyland every damn Sat.

IMO we need a conservative game plan that values the football without taking many chances.


IMO the only way we lose is if we turn the ball over giving them big plays.

Their QB can't beat us. Their WR can't beat us. Their RBs can't beat us. As unpopular as it sounds I would have a very conservative gameplan to make sure their D doesn't beat us and adjust from there.


If the game turns into something different than a defensive game then having another more aggressive approach will be good but not until then IMO .

We simply don't want to turn this game into one where TOs allow a clearly lesser team to win.

Gonna have to open the up the playbook, and turn Dobbs loose. He has been playin too tight and indecisive! Need to get the ball to the skill players in ooen space.

If their offense has trouble scoring then does it not make sense to open up the offense and put points on the board?

The bottom line is, in game adjustments. I have no problem running any plays that produce when the gators adjust to stop them we have got to have a counter attack. OU adjusted at halftime, we ran the same plays into the teeth of their defense, they got momentum, our defense couldn't get if the field. Adjust to the flow of the game CBJ. Also the Maxium carry the fight for 60 minutes needs to be revised since we now have OT, it should be for the entire game.
GO VOLS! RUN the TABLE!

I completely agree. However this very thing is why so many fans lost trust in cbj in the OU game. That was unwarranted IMO and the reason behind this thread I am sure

2 things..
1 I agree about the approach to the game. It will be conservative. But that will have more to do with UF's D and the venue than anything.
2. I truly don't expect after last years UF game , this years OU game that we will see a deliberate effort to "sit" on anything. If the do and we lose ..... That would be bad

Screw the conservative game plan. Playing conservative only means keeping your opponent in the game. We did that against OU, and last year against florida, and in 2002 against florida. Playing conservatively gets you beat. We will have to make plays with the passing game to win. If we can run it, too, wonderful--but there's the rub: what if we are not running it well? Forget all this field position crap. You win by putting the ball in the end zone.

If we don't have any sort of running game it will be difficult to win. We will not, nor should we, come out flinging it all over the field.

That would play directly in to the strength of their defense
