So many errors, missed opportunities

[Rockytoptalker]

Even with all the mistakes, we’re still another defensive stand away from winning, just like against UK. Just have to hold them here.

 

[HeofOrangeBlood]

Unfreakin’ believable you take a sack after the timeout. Then a 33 yard punt? Why can’t this team get a killer instinct?

 

[rocky top buzz]

Can't believe the Vols are outplaying mizzou so much and are a touchdown away from trailing...

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

This game should not be close but MO is just making huge plays in crucial times. Too many 3rd down conversations given up, the 2 blocked FGs. So aggravating that the Vols can't pull away.....

What were they talking about?

 

[rocky top buzz]

2 blocked field goals plus the fumble deep in Mizzou territory. That's 9-13 points left on the board.

 

[CA_Vol]

Whew, that was close.

 

[CA_Vol]

Big win. Nice job, boys. Great complete game from JG and the WRs. Very proud of this team.

 

[landscapingvol]

We lost by 30 last year so this we should be killing them is delusion at its finest. This was always going to be a close game.

Less than 300 given by the D

Mistakes in key situations

Bowl bound.....I’m happy

JG proves suckers wrong. He IS the QB end of story!

 

[YankeeVol]

We won!

 

[volKano]

Its nice that I’m not satisfied with a win. The team must be headed in the right direction.

 

[Orange defense]

BOWLLLLLLLING!!!! Yessss!!

 

[BornOrange33]

Right. It was definitely an ugly win but he’ll guys atleast it was a win...a much needed one at that

 

[KoachKrab127]

I didn't see the game, as I do not get the SEC Network, but looking at the box score, I'm assuming that the way we struggled once we got into scoring territory was the reason this game was so close. Two blocked FG's and a fumble in your opponent's territory will keep a lopsided yardage game like this close. Is that accurate? Or were there other factors that I am missing?

 

[Volfan2012]

We really dominated them more than the final score.

 

[Rabid Vol]

Like times 1,000

He will be a great get for the NFL team that gets him.

Coach in training

Yeah Pruitt shouldn't have hit their QB out of bounds

 

[coach799]

I'm still fumming over the missed opportunity to score a TD on the last series before the half. How do you let 5 seconds run off the clock

JG got a first down on his run but they didn't stop the clock to spot the ball.

 

[Pride85]

Right. It was definitely an ugly win but he’ll guys atleast it was a win...a much needed one at that

I will take an ugly win with over 500 yards offense any day.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Disappointing considering we had two weeks to prepare. Just sloppy.

Agreed, but the weather conditions weren't optimal either.

That field looked slippery, I don't think that it rained though.

 

[Longhorn Vol]

They found a way to win. That is what impresses me.

Coaching has improved so much...

 

[BeecherVol]

We completely dominated the game with some bad stuff that kept it from being a comfortable win.

Good win.

Now load up and blast Vandy.

 

[VOLNPA]

This was always gonna be a tough matchup. I'm actually shocked we got out with a W. Take it. Enjoy it.

 

[robby487]

There were some hard hits on our receivers, bet they will be hurting tomorrow.

 

[Jdw2920]

I agree we should have won 41-13 but a win is a win just have to play smarter like Pruitt said in post conference interview.
