Really though, after the dust has settled, had you told me we would finish 10-3

Losses to A&M, Bama and in the SECC would be acceptable, but not to USC.

Season ain't over, could easily drop another or two...

Just seems time to put things in perspective and stop being just a RaRa 'fan'
This 10-3 expectation now is nonsense, just need to win the next game, next week

Vandy and UK won't be gimmies. If we come out sleepwalking and with no apparent gameplan, we could very well lose both

The problem is we may not even finish 10-3. That is a best case scenario at this point. Yes, if we finish 10-3 we can be somewhat happy for SLIGHT improvement. I have a feeling we finish 8-5 though. Losses to Kentucky or Vandy and then lose our bowl game.

I hope we can pull out tough wins vs superior Vandy and Kentucky teams and go 10-3 though.

The insanity of people who during the bye were predicting a cake walk the rest of the season, full of insta-wins and a rematch against Alabama in the SEC championship game with a bunch of returns from the injured list was bad, but this is purely the willful suspension of disbelief.

How anyone can look at the performance last night, and glean any positives other than the fact that Evan Berry will set records at UT that may never be broken, and that Derek Barnett is going to be the highest drafted UT player in years is beyond me.

We ain't gonna finish 10-3 with the problems & injuries we have right now. Kentucky, Mizzou, & Vandy all are going to be a problem in winning heading forward. The only give me left is next Saturday in Tenn Tech.

I'm not sure. I know I feel like they have left victories on the field just like last year. They are clearly better than South Carolina but could not find a way to win. Actually, SC outplayed UT all night and held the offense to 14 points. Just look at time of possession, defense, QB play and coaching. Questionable play calling on both sides of the ball. Dobbs was horrible and looks lost. Kelly was running great and only had 11 touches. When UT blitzed, DBs were isolated and blew assignments. The coaching staff has to put our best players in positions to win the game. Coach Doug Mathews said today Jennings is our most aggressive offensive player and is never involved until late in the game.

As it has been stated on here numerous times, this team and coaching staff are not on the same page. If that continues and they play like that the rest of the year, there is no guarantee they win the next 4 and a bowl game.

We finished 10-3? Guess we failed to make the SECCG, huh? Who'd we beat in the Music City Bowl?

The season is a failure even if we do win out. The ball was dropped last night.

What you said! When UGA or UF goes 10-3 they only lose to good teams who you know are going to a bowl. Or a great coach like Spurrier. Muschamp is an average coach. Vandy's coach is better than he is.

No I don't agree! You're assuming we win the rest, just like everyone thought we would beat sc. It is as bad as it seems, we have looked bad in most of the wins.
Throw out the record and tell me how we have played and then ask yourself if it's as bad as it seems!

Making the assumption we can win out seems like a huge stretch to me. Hope it happens, but our level of effort seems lacking, even after 2 weeks of preparation.
