Reality check

[MADISONGAVOL]

I dont start many threads and i love vols as much as anyone but come on guys all the yards in the world 9 times out of 10 will not matter when you turn the ball over. I still support my team no matter how upsetting it gets but alot of fans need realize turn overs have been the problem all year long. Is it coaching is it players hknestly i dont know but until thats fixed this team will contjnue to struggle. Luck ran out tonight and this was result...i am however very proud of their fight but turnovers will continue to cost us games. Hope they get it fixed. If they do there may not be a team out there to stop us. Correct that and dropped passes and man we could be deadly....go vols

I think they have preached it so much that it's become a psychological thing for the players. They're trying not to make a mistake causing them to.

Could be man i dknt know and im not giving up on this team i just think alot of people on here dknt see it that way and its killed us. Uga game wouldnt have been close in my opinion minus turn overs and drops. We had ton of drops tonight

The reality is that we can't tackle, we love turning the ball over, we like spotting our opponent 20 points before we get serious and play ball

I returned punts in college and man when you muff one it messes with you. That's just my personal experience

Yea, just be natural and play. I heard Butch talking, a couple of weeks ago, about how they needed to focus more to catch the football better. Maybe if you don't think about it you'll just be natural? Ever time a pass is thrown to you think about a woman's t**s or something.:thumbsup:

Ball bounces funny, they may not drop another one this year.

Just think about anything else but dropping the ball but yeah that works

I just want to be clear everyone im not bashing the team i just read alot about refs this and that and calling plays this and that and it boils down to simple execution. Kelly coughs it up dob s tries to pick it up and fumbles himself instead of falling on it on 20 or so. Malone caught it and dropped on 3rd down for first down when he was hit....these types of plays will get u beat when its a quality opponent. Look at yards we put up...it wasnt play calling. Our guys secure ball and i trully believe we walk out with 10 point or more win. Penalties...man this year is very uncharacteristic of jones led team.....i dont know what the answer is we shot ourselves in foot offensively all year i hate it because we really could make it a run for the whole thing if this gets corrected. And we get couple some key ayers back. I want take second and say prayer for danny obrien who gives his all for this team.....loves his physical gritty play and he loves our university he and his family are in my prayers and speedy recovery

8-4 or 7-5 Butch has us right on track.
