During this horrid 2 game win streak, Tennessee has scored 83 points, and allowed no touch downs. They could have tacked 2 or 3 more touchdowns yesterday if they wanted to. Instead our dumb OC used part of the game to practice / get people experience for the upcoming games instead of getting one more score to cover the spread that Tennessee was expected to win by.









Lighten up folks,It was almost universally unanimous before the season started that going to a bowl game would be beyond a stellar year for us. I get it, growing pains are painful. I don't get the cry baby fits when you know its going to happen though.

I wouldn’t matter what we do....some people just can’t see any positive in any situation...

Being bowl eligible as a baseline. Not aware of that poll, what are the #'s of those people that voted compared to everyone that follows college football and has an opinion on this team? rhetorical question.. I hope that's what happens though.

I remember when CBJ did the same thing with UMass. Kept it vanilla and used it as a scrimmage to prep for the real part of the season!

Except we played Florida before UMASS.



















That worked out well..

This isn't first year we've been on hard times and played cup cakes. But, it's certainly a good sign that we've kept even the worst of competition out of the end zone. Much better than playing entirely down to the competition for an entire game...though we were obviously sluggish at times in both games.

I'll be honest I didn't think talent wise this team was a 4-8 team last year. I expected 7 wins this year. I was wrong. I still think this team is better than they have played but it really is very ugly watching them play. Not one person on our oline has played very well and that includes Trey Smith. Nobody on our dline either.

Did you have a bet on the game and gave the points. Should have known better!

Maybe. But, maybe the difference is that now we have a coaching staff that can analyze the results and film and select the right personnel for each play, both sides of the ball. That's what I'm going with, anyway.

Ill see it when I believe it. I give Pruitt some leeway considering he is new at this and doesn't have a superior head coach to make the tough decisions for him anymore.

Universally unanimous that making a bowl would be beyond stellar? I dont agree with that at all based on the poll on this very board. Most put bowl eligibility as the baseline for a successful year, a passing grade. But not "beyond stellar".

Lower level bowl games are never stellar, but any bowl game this year would be a huge surprise to those actually paying attention. It could happen, but so what if it does? The players don't want to practice for an extra month for a chance to get gruesomely injured in Shreveport or some other armpit destination. Pruitt's passing grade for this year is anything better than last year, and that could even be the same record if he managed to get an SEC win. But again, so what? If the team isn't in the Final Four, they are totally irrelevant along with over 100 other teams.

So we should be happy with 13 / 36 on 3rd down this year? Are we so talented that we dont need to practice the real plays we plan on running against SEC teams? We are so good we can have tons of penalties and fumbles just so UF doesnt know what we are gonna do!!

Im gonna give Trey a pass due to what he may have/ or going through with his blood clot. Jahmir isnt ready. Richmond plays like a Fr.
