Seriously though this game was closer than it should've been, we need to work on catching the ball.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

The referees kept that game close. We should have had a TD on a phantom PI against us and the drive before a PI kept Stayes drive alive.

On top of our coach just refusing to go for the jugular.

Our clock management should’ve lost us the game ngl

Let's be honest tho, Tenn gets gashed more often tban not on the ground.

I mean the same ones giving up some of those big runs are getting sacks and TFL. In OT, MSU had it first and goal at the 5. They didnt gash our D then.

Could be better but between the muffed punt and two picks we basically spotted them 21 on a short field. If special teams alone had done their jobs better we don’t even go to overtime.

This crapshow of a game started on the muffed punt. We get that quick three and out, go down and score they hang their heads a little. Tennessee likes to start fast and we didn’t really do it today. Luckily we still found a way.

 

[GordonC]

11 TFL today
Herring had 17 tackles
4 of 6 leading tacklers are DL/LB

Hope Staley puts this game behind him. He made a good move after that one pass to the sidelines but had some bad moments. Hope he shakes it off and comes back strong.

I was shocked they got the FGs against Georgia late in the game when it looked like GA was about to bust it wide open. They are feast or famine for sure. They did enough at Georgia to give Gilbert a shot. Obviously did enough today. Not going to be good enough for Bama and OU *if* Mateer is back. Can they stop Pavia?

This defense allowed Miss St to score 34 points. Not UGA. Not Bama. Miss St scored 34 points on us. That’s embarrassing. Look at our remaining schedule. We’re in serious trouble.

The defense will be the reason we will lose 2-3 more games.

I believe so. HC Heupel needs to make some adjustments asap. The Vandy boards are already claiming an early victory.

 

[Go47]

The defense in total team defense is ranked 109 out of 136 schools. Giving up 29 points a game. 260 yards passing / 114 yards rushing (I thought this number would be higher).

14th in team defense in the SEC . . . Only ahead of Kentucky and Arkansas.

This team is not good on defense. The stats don’t lie. Yes, we generated 14 points in this last game . . . But the defense has serious issue in tackling / pass coverage / setting the edge in run defense.

If we get some guys healthy and playing maybe that changes. We desperately need McCoy to return.

Three of their four TD drives were 20 yards, 26 yards and 17 yards. Clearly "embarrassing" is the appropriate term here.
