Poor play

[Eastknox865]

There is no excuses for this team to play so poorly. We have 17 returning starters minus 1 lineman that's hurt. We have the talent and the experience but continue to regress. Explain to me how does a team with so much coming back get worse. This team didn't play this bad all year last season.

Remember the Arkansas game?

Call me a sunshine pumper if you want to. It's not always pretty and yes we should've blown these past 3 team's off the field. But those young men gave there all for the Orange and white. Win or lose I stand behind them. 3-0 GO VOLS...

I stand behind them as well but I know football. I've played at a high level something is wrong with this team. They are to experienced and talented.

I don't know. It was pretty bad.

Debord and Mahoney are stealing UT's money.

I agree something not right. But I'll never give up on them. Love them to much.

Regressing? No. Making dumb mistakes at the most inopportune times? Yes

Considering that 17 returning starters is knocked down to about 13 now, I'd say we're lucky to be 3-0. Not to mention the most obvious offensive play calling I have ever seen...

Anyone notice we didn't run any jet sweeps and rarely motioned receivers? I really think a small part of the problem is holding the playbook too close. Jet sweeps have been a staple of the offense the previous 3 years. We find out for sure what Tennessee is next week.

Have you seen our offensive line? Regress is a understatement.

Not motivated for some reason. Many of these guys expect to be drafted and if so, they are costing themselves tons of money with poor effort and execution this year. NFL scouts put much emphasis on hustle and desire. So far- we lack both compared to last year.
