How else can we explain the bashing Shula has received nationally for having star receiver/kick returner Tyrone Prothro in Saturday's 31-3 win over Florida with fewer than nine minutes left and Alabama holding a 28-point lead? Prothro landed awkwardly while trying to catch a pass and broke two bones in his leg, and I guess we're supposed to believe that's Shula's fault.
Stewart Mandel, SI.com: "... there's no overstating the magnitude of the loss and, in turn, the stupidity of coach Mike Shula's reasoning for keeping [Prothro] and the other offensive starters in with a 31-3 fourth-quarter lead. Was the Gators' offense, so inept all afternoon, suddenly going to score four touchdowns in 10 minutes?"
Dick Weiss, New York Daily News: "Prothro, its best deep threat, was carted off the field with a splint on his lower left leg after landing awkwardly trying to catch a fourth-down pass in the end zone in the fourth quarter, when he should have been on the bench."
Pete Thamel, New York Times: "... but Shula may have hamstrung the Tide's season by leaving in his starters too long ..."
I feel comfortable saying that we'll beat the spread, which is hovering between 20 and 21.
If Tennessee does not cover the spread against Appalachian State, will your personal outlook
for the season be diminished?
Completely disagree, stat is not meaningless. It's the only stat that effects my bank account.

Even if the Vols lose to Appy St, most Vol fans will still have confidence in Butch Jonesk:
