That ones on Hooker

[bigun771]

I know there is a bunch of Hooker lovers out there, this was his worst game. Especially in a must win type situation. He was off in his throws and took sacks when he could throw it away. I know we were playing the #1 team, if you are a special kind of QB you can't be that off. ANYWAYS. #GBO

Must win? Really

 

[Rumble4skin]

Had 4 clear overthrows that I saw. Held the ball and stood in the pocket too long but thats not a new thing. Still my QB

 

[Pappy]

It helps to have protection from the o-line....its still a team game

 

[airvols]

This was his worst game as a starter, but it was the best defense in the country. I think he recovers well next week.

The L? Georgia is #1, good lord. It would have taken a perfect game with Georgia likely playing their worst game for us to win.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

I thought he played a decent game against the best defense he has ever seen and will probably ever see at the college level. The INT was brutal and he missed a couple throws deep, he managed the game well, I liked what he did in the run game.

We were 20 point home dogs for a reason. This was by no means a must win situation.

Must win? Really

I said "type of situation " bit of course you don't see that. I'm just saying if this dude the "next savior " we are hurting

 

[TennTom]

How was that a must win? Drunk-posting is not advised here. Hooker had a bad game, but he's led us to a bowl in the first year with a new coach.

 

[Pappy]

Who said he is?

 

[BoroVol93]

A lot of his throws were close he was high on a few but he wasn’t bad today just wasn’t great… 3 being out hurt cuz he put 1 on 80s finger Tips that 3 likely has to slow down to catch… I don’t understand how y’all can blame hooker he wasn’t as accurate but we aren’t nearly physical enough on the LOS for UGA yet but hooker ran hard and gave his all and played solid just a tough game vs one of the best defenses of all time.

He had a very bad game tonight...it happens but I guess tonight was the night for it to happen. Don't need it to happen again.
Shake it off and go win next week and we're bowling....

Must Win?? My God man it's the Best Team in the Country. NOBODY expected us to Win, are you really that stupid?

 

[GOVOLS 1]

How dare Tennessee not beat the number one team in the country.

24-37 244 yds, 1 td, 1 td against the best defense in the country is a very bad game? Did you sleep through the JG years or are you already that spoiled?

 

[Zues1]

The guy gets sacked more often than a real hooker.

Must win? Really

Yeah we're really stretching reality with this thread. Let's drop back to earth a bit

 

[Other_Guy]

Hooker is thinking long term. He purposely played bad because he doesn't want the pressure and temptation to turn pro so he tanked the game.

Also, stupid thread.

 

[bpalmer28]

Scored more than anyone else has

Best defense the world has seen in 80 years. Give credit where it’s due... they are EXTREMELY hard to execute against. People need to quit comparing real life football to Madden.

Must win? WTH are you talking about? Any fan who really believed we could hang with UGA this year...well... that's their stupidity and it's on them. No sane person believed we could win this one. We've done damned well this year considering our roster and talent level. Right now we've got 2 winnable games ahead of us. With those games there will be justified expectations.

 

[JoAllan]

Your extremely football ignorant if you think that loss was “on” Hooker.

That loss was “because” of Georgia…….period.

They got all the talent in the world…….most (not all) of Tennessee’s “talent” left.

This is a rag tag scrappy Tennessee team that tries hard…….they simply don’t have enough talent.

Must win? Haha!


Dumb.

Spoiled? Of course not...his stats are good but stats aren't the whole story...Hooker looked bad tonight, he played bad and looked confused running so yeah he had a very bad game...

Hooker had a bad game, sure, but the loss is far from on him. This was a loss 99 times out of 100 even with Hooker on his A game. We couldn’t run the ball and that’s where it starts and ends.
