The Official Tennessee vs. #1 Alabama Game Thread, 7:00pm ET, ESPN

A coach puts you in a good situation. It is up to the player to make the play. That is all a coach can do.

Damn Dooley catch the ball!!!

laughed!!

 

[chraos]

Hey Dooley, just cuz you are wearing an AT&T telex doesn't mean you get rollover timeouts...WTF?!

 

[GLDunlap]

Dooley was trying to lure Alabama d backs into thinking we were just going to run the clock out. It worked to but Hunter can no longer run and catch a football at the same time. Even if he catches a ball he immediately stops and waits to be hit or simply falls down. Drastic maybe but Hunter needs to be sitting on the bench. He is a liability

 

[orange4ever]

WTF Dooley. 11 seconds, 2 time outs, 3rd down and a run play from 70 yds out?

 

[VolunteerTitan3]

Where are the hunter 1st rounder advocates? No way. Another drop, like dewayne bowe.

SOOOMMMEEEWWWHHHEEERREEE over the DWAYNEE BOWWWWWW!!!!

 

[Thunndarr]

Two timeouts left on the board during a two minute drill and a draw play to end the half. This is why people are pissed at Dooley. There is no damn excuse for this.

It's pretty obvious Dooley didn't want to use the timeouts and end up going 3 and out leaving enough time for Bama to score. They got the shot they wanted, Hunter blew it. Running out the clock made sense after that.

They played that entire series with the purpose of connecting on one long pass with 30 seconds left. If Hunter had caught it, 30 secs and 2 timeouts would have been plenty to score.

I never thought he was anything to begin with.

i'm honestly not sure. is he just a David Klingler (sp) kinda QB that puts up crazy stats vs weak teams and chokes in the big ones...or...has he just not played in enough big ones yet...or...is just the most overrated player on the team????

anyone have an idea?

 

[golf437]

Dooley is an idiot. I'm done with this joke! Two timeouts?? @?? Hunter is a pussy!

Now here is a ignorant troll.

 

[VOLinAL]

DA'RICK would have caught that.

 

[VOLstuckinKY2]

Hunter is challenging Zach for drop king. Oh and BTW, great clock management dools!

except that I don't think Zach has dropped a pass all season?????

 

[neostig]

When we fired fulmer thats when the curse began. Because it was wrong to fire him before the season ended. So now we are paying for it.

No when Kesling took over

Exactly.

What pisses me off is that this is the best offensive line we've had in a decade. I think Bray and Hunter don't care anymore. I'd bench Bray--you need leadership at the position, and he doesn't have it. I'd fire Chaney, too. I used to be a fan of Chaney--but not anymore. Dooley should be getting in GRILLS. Saban doesn't take CRAP off of anybody--he's a hard ass.

Fitting username.

I'm wondering- did you watch Tennessee football last season with Tyler Bray sidelined?

 

[govols/cc]

We just don't make plays when we have a chance. Dropped balls. Missed tackles for loss. No play on ball with good coverage. Combine all the blown assignments & other bs & you get what you see.

you keep telling yourself that

 

[VolWonder]

Can someone please tell bray, chaney, or dooley at half how to use tightends

 

[GmanTN]

I sure hope you are not serious, we were cursed way before Fulmer was fired.

 

[SGMVols]

A coach puts you in a good situation. It is up to the player to make the play. That is all a coach can do.

And the coaches didn't give the offense a chance to make another play after the JH drop.

 

[ETV]

Only response needed for that crap. Not even half time man. Where is your sack?

The interweb. The best for name calling and arguing.

hey,don't be bringing logic into this

Nobody wants to admit it but it's true. If we had to fire Fulmer we should've had someone who was at least his equal to take his place and we didn't.

 

[CaptDoDo]

Between hunter and patterson I have never seen so many big drops in one year.all wide open perfect thrown balls. Quit focusing on time management when we can't catch easy balls. Pathetic

Bray can't get it done. Encourage him to leave.

That call was brought to you by Chaney and the letter L.
