So we lost to a team that is more talented

I'm not even sure what you're arguing anyway. That we only got outplayed in one quarter but because they were equally mediocre in the others that they didn't outplay us?

It's very simple. To pretend we were dominated or thoroughly outplayed is not a reflection of what happened. What is a reflection is that we took off the 3rd quarter and played competitively in 3 quarters. That was my point.

Brilliant.

I think the point is their freshman running back and freshman wide receiver out performed TN's more experienced players. Their offense is all centered around a true sophomore QB. On defense GA's best player was out yet their fill-in-by-committee 2nd team was still better. And its a home game :eek:hmy:

Yeah, you keep saying dominated but I never said that, I said outplayed. First half we might have been "competitive" because they were equally bad but I disagree completely with the fourth quarter stuff. We got outplayed, in the third especially but also in the fourth (I don't exactly consider praying for a proper onside kick as competitive) and altogether that means we got outplayed.

If you consider winning a quarter getting outplayed, then we'll agree to disagree. That makes absolutely no sense to me, but you're entitled to your opinion.

We got outplayed badly for 1 quarter. Let's not start pretending they dominated us for 4 quarters. That didn't happen.

Exactly! 1 quarter! People are acting the they dominated us all night! It was 1 quarter, and now we should fire everyone and people are having panic attacks and breakdowns of all kinds on volnation! It's quite funny actually

If we had won the fourth quarter we would've won the game or at least had a shot at it. Waiting until the game is basically over to score a touchdown, getting the extra point blocked, and then kicking the onside kick out of bounds does not sound like "winning a quarter". Their offense kept the ball long enough to waste time and their defense kept us out of the endzone until the game was pretty much over. I'd say they out played us.

We scored 6 points. They scored 0 points. We had more yards than they did in the 4th. I call that not getting outplayed.

They didn't need to score any points, they were up 20 to 6. All they needed to do was keep us from scoring and they did right up until the end when the game was all but decided.

Nevermind. You clearly don't see the point and aren't going to.

I'm not ready to get rid of dooley but its obvious about a couple of things tonight. chaney got out coached on offense. Every run play that we tried something other than running up the middle was a disaster and has been almost all year. I also thinks it's obvious that wilcox is a pretty good coach if he could eliminate the big plays. Teague was beaten all day and they continued to pick on him and I can't see why we didn't make a change for that. He was the direct cause of a couple of Ga's biggest plays. Also, i think its obvious that ga is not that much better than we are and with hunter they may not even be better at all. The one thing I keep seeing is that we look very slow at alot of positions and I hope its just rookie mistakes and we're really not that slow.
Also, what about the little guy DEVRIN. I really am impressed with him and didn't expect to be. I think if we can block just a little for him he will eventually take some to the house.

Whatever dude. You're down 20 to 6 in the fourth and barely eek out six points with two minutes left and no ones exactly going to be proud of you.

Again, you don't seem to face facts. We outscored them in the 4th and played even the 1st two quarters. Thus, somehow I got the crazy notion that we must have lost the game in the 3rd. I know that's just crazy talk and they actually destroyed us in the 1st half when we were tied and hammered us in the 4th where we outscored them.

Thank you,that is correct!!! Bray had an off night and because of the youth on this team the Vols need him to be Superman. If he is out 4-6 weeks like some have said, it will be a tough stretch. To blame this on our coaches would be wrong, we play 15-17 true freshman weekly, just as many sophmores, we lost our best overall player (JJ) before the season,best offensive player (J Hunter) early and now our team general (T Bray) possibly all while playing one of the toughest loops in all of college football. The next three weeks would be tough with Bray,Hunter and Jackson,but without look out! Blame the coaches next year if we lose like this,but not this year! GO VOLS!

The bottomline is had we played worth a damn in the 3rd quarter, no one would be talking this "we got outplayed the entire game" stuff. That's because we didn't. We got outplayed in the third quarter. That's when the game was decided.

Were you watching a different game? The game I watched game me the feeling we were never really in it to win it. Our starting SR RB takes himself out of a big rival game. Our D coach dials up 0 pressure on the QB and lets him pick us apart on critical 3rd downs. He makes no adjustment to cover the deep ball after seeing that UGA was going after it often. Our O coach tries repeatedly to run outside when losing 6+ yards every time. Instead of just running the screen that worked both times we ran it. For some reason also went away from the TE in the middle eventhough it was open all night long. Then our HC doesn't go for it on 4th with 8 minutes left. And for saying we outscored them in the 4th you are correct. I am not sure how much of that was us actually doing something right or UGA just protecting their lead and playing not to lose. BTW that score at the end of the game when it happened was pretty much pointless. There were 2 mins left and we had no time outs left.

Dooley seems to have mastered the art of getting blown out in big games, but doing just enough at the end to make the score look and kind of feel like it didn't happen. That's what happened against UF, they led by 20+ points, and we only came back and made it look respectable once they just started to run the ball and kill the clock. Similar thing last night. If Murray didn't overthrow receivers who were clear of our secondary 3-4 times, UGA might have won by 30 last night.

I'll say yes they did get beat by a more talented team. They also got outcoached too. Happens. Deal with it.
