Lol so many of you convinced yourselves we would somehow pull off the upset then get mad at CJH for not actually living up to your unrealistic expectations.

THIS.

 

[VOLnMiami]

I mean nobody really believed we were going to beat this team...We just don't have the guns yet...But we will...Great coaching staff and players that don't quit is a great combo for recruiting...We'll be fine...Besides its a miracle what CJH has done with this team this season.

 

[House of Neyland]

Neither one of those guys would have fielded a team with any more fight or capacity to win this year than CJH…..

Yea not this year but they would be bringing in a top 15 or top 10 class

 

[patrick]

Goooo Tillman.

 

[1985Vols]

And have a QB that can run a little. Ben Roethlisberger would run for 100 yards on this Defensive scheme

Peyton Manning could gain 50 yards on our defense and that’s really saying something

 

[MR FRENCH'S]

Heupel is an idiot.

Hooker is an idiot.

Worse than Dooley years.

Worse than Pruitt.

It's embarrassing that some of these people are allowed into society. I hope they don't beat their dogs too bad tonight.

I don't think that at all. Hooker **** his pants... whatever, Heupel needs to fix his 4th down playcalling at the SEC level. Dooley and Pruitt shouldn't touch a collegiate football field though lol.

 

[ALStateLineVol]

This defense does nothing to help themselves. Can't get off the field on 3rd down, missed tackles, absolutely no QB containment. Hopefully the transfer portal will have some good players that can contribute immediately.

 

[Jravol78]

Better

 

[CAVPUT]

Lol so many of you convinced yourselves we would somehow pull off the upset then get mad at CJH for not actually living up to your unrealistic expectations.

Exactly.

My biggest takeaway from this game - we’ve got to get better on the offensive & defensive line.. our athletes can play with their athletes.. but we just get bullied up front. We play hard & I honestly think our coaches have us playing beyond our potential..

I don’t mind anything scheme wise. I don’t mind Heupel playing aggressive & going for it on 4th.. We just have to be able to set the tone better up front on both sides of the ball.

If I’m a recruit watching this game - there’s enough there to believe in this program & coaching staff.

Couldn’t agree more!

 

[oz615]

Now we decide to hit an long one

 

[Vol737]

The defense is mostly pathetic the full game. Getting off the field hardly at all in games on 3rd down is a scheme and talent problem

Yeah, Tim Banks is still a question mark for me and clearly not enough talent/depth on D. Our lack of execution on offense just exacerbates those issues.

 

[I Love Lamp]

Bright spot….Cedric Tillman is damn good.

 

[vanillagorilla]

Everytime.

 

[Other_Guy]

Yet here we are down 3 possessions forcing our defense on a short field instead of down 2 possessions with all 3 timeouts….0

See

 

[DC_Vol]

We need 4 LBs from the portal… ( at a minimum) all ours do is catch the running back after he’s made a 8 yard gain.. I know we lost a lot when we had the mass exodus, but calling for the DC’s head isn’t the answer! Better Jimmy’s and Joe’s are the answer!

Banks is solid. He’s a guy we want to keep.

 

[SAPPER 5]

Floperation...

 

[molsen81]

boooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Tillman really stepped up his game

 

[TheMookieMonster]

You can't coach talent, strength or speed. It's boys against men today.

Again, how does bad play-calling have anything to do with "boys against men"? I never made any comments about how out-classed we were from a talent standpoint. Heupel simply has not called his best game today. That is all.

 

[Caz]

Big play, but not over confident we will come away with any points. Hope I’m wrong at least.

 

[usagary]

Time for a few of those patented 20 second scoring drives.

 

[House of Neyland]

Gotta hit the Portal hard on the Dline Oline need immediate help there and a QB

 

[VolnJC]

I said 45-17 and that's about how it is playing out...they are better and much deeper than us...right now we are far behind GA and Bama...we will have an opportunity to catch up to FL though...10 wins will be the ceiling and 8 the floor for a few years...if that's not good enough for you...there are other hobbies...I'm undefeated on weekend hikes and hanging with my boy

 

[Jravol78]

Oh no ….. another “injury”. Man these Vols are brutes .
