That was Tennessee Football today

[CountVolcula]

Defense was on point

Offense did what was needed with almost 200 yards on the ground

Offense is so much better with Maurer in the game, but JG managed the game well when he had to come in

We can improve on this

 

[TAF]

Agreed...FIRST real signs of improvement.

Still SEC East Cellar Dwellers...but improvement

 

[JMSqb11]

7 sacks and 3 interceptions.

Defense pitched a complete game today

 

[m1al]

Very impressed with what they did to the RB Hill.

And don't forget.....orange pants.

I agree looked much better today especially on Defense. I think we beat Kentucky and Vandy and finish 5-7 at the very least.

 

[Rocky Top Raby]

Looked so much better today. Long ways to go but that's the first time I've felt good after a game all year.

 

[UTK]

I admit I thought there was no way we would win playing conservative like that but it was the right call in the end.

 

[Chilmonty]

Very true op!! And he has been pretty negative to this point!

 

[Rockytopvol86]

Def impressed with D today. A couple of areas that can improve like coverage over middle and letting qb get out of pocket. Now offense , JG limited us a lot. Enough said there

 

[VolforFootball]

It would be even more significant as a confidence booster going forward if we didn't get Alabama next week.

 

[CR-vol]

Good game sucks that we lost Henry Too.. for the first half next week. If we can keep it respectable next week and not get blown out that will be improvement

I was right there with you. I was yelling at the TV...

Gotta forget about next week vs Bama and not think it means anything to the season, it doesn’t. They’re gonna get blown out next week.

The success of the season lies in the last 5 beginning with SCar. Win 4 of 5 and let’s go bowling!

Nice post as always Count spot on

 

[JoAllan]

The D was awesome.

I’m also extremely happy Tennessee stuck to the run.

And Tyler on the roof...he was our X Factor

 

[DC_Vol]

I was right there with you. I was yelling at the TV...

I wanted to but was too apathetic and numb from the past year of Tennessee football.

I actually had to rewatch the pass to Byrd just to make sure JG didn’t really get hit from behind and cough up a fumble.

Still SEC East Cellar Dwellers...but improvement

Actually, we're tied with South Carolina for 4th in the East...for the moment (as I write this the UGa-USCe game still hasn't ended).

The cellar: that would be 0-3 (SEC) Vandy and Kentucky.

Too young to remember how Fulmer coached? Play great defense, run the ball, wear the defense out by the end, burn clock, play field position. It's a successful formula when you have a good defense, regardless if it is 1989 or 2019.

 

[The Original Fade]

Called the win. Where’s my cookie?

I disagree. Just look what the Gamecock just did. Any team can win any game on Saturday.

 

[Jaws]

Happy for Tennessee and the board. Keep grinding.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

It is the way we have to play! Is it ugly? Yes it is, but we have to play this way. Make the game shorter. Run the ball, control time of possession, mix in smart safe passes and convert 1st downs and have long drives ending in points with no turnovers. And most importantly! Play defense exactly like we did today.

If we hadn’t turned the ball over today, we blow MSST out. Good win and GO VOLS

I'd say we can beat Uk and Candy
