So you'd rather risk a TO before half when your O hasn't done **** all game?

You'd make a fantastic coach.

Didn't care wither way about the time or TO ' I was just replying to Fife.

Yes. We should have tried to score again. We should try to score every opportunity we get. And we just totally pissed away one chance

 

[Voltrapnbama]

I swear man I sometimes question Butch Jones iq. We should have used a to after their second down. It was like 3 yards to go. We could have had the ball back with three minutes to go! We just have absolutely no killer instinct from our stsff

But, what if they stopped us with their TOs, they would have had time to move the ball and the secondary was out of position most of the game

 

[roddo518]

Would some of you people take a class in coaching. No, it's not coaching not to lose. It's situational coaching. It was a great call at the moment to fake fg just like it was situational to fix what is broken right now and go into halftime tied. We for darn sure need to make some adjustments at half time. That's what you do in that situation. We have not consistently moved the ball the whole first half. I think he wanted to make it a clean slate the second half with added adjustments. It might work out but then again it might not. But we are still tied at half and getting the ball.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Even Fulmer probably thinks Jones is too conservative.

Yeah. That fake field goal especially. Ultra conservative.

 

[jvol1982]

where are the live streams

 

[GAVol]

I agree but Dobbs seems to do best running a two minute drill. I'm ok with his decision though

If they'd bus in the South Carolina defense, I'd agree with you.

Butch probably thinks our players are a bunch of pansies.

 

[vol-un-tear]

This. People forget we're a 5-5 team playing a 8-2 #20 ranked team in the nation... and we're tied.

People need to calm the **** down.

Hey were 2-0 dang it :wink:

 

[FootballProdiG]

And we get the ball in the second half

People keep saying "We get the ball back!", but "We get the ball back!"


SO WHAT? What does that have to do with anything. What does that have to go with trying to get a quick 3 before the half ends. Even if you miss the kick at least you tried. Getting the ball back after half doesn't mean anything. Plenty of teams end up going 3 and out after halftime when they get it back. As lethargic as our offense is, I would have liked to go for three there. Instead of trying to do it in the last drive for a game winner and shanking it.

 

[Escape Goat]

I was.
I told the people around me if they got one more penalty, they would have to vacate the end zone seats.

Hahahaha

 

[governmentmule]

Fulmer would have stomped em

 

[Row 34]

3 tos and no attempt was weak.

Are we going to take knees to start the third quarter too?
Every possession carries some risk.
I had no problem with not being in a hurry until we picked up a first down. But, I would not have just sat on it. At the very least, run off only half of the play clock on second down and give it to Hurd. If he picks up the first down, go into hurry-up mode. If he gets stuffed, then run it out. We didn't even try.

 

[VolNExile]

blah blah blah blah, blah blah, blah blah blah. Those who don't learn from the past...

That's right, why did I take you off ignore in the first place? Back you go.

 

[Tokeup69]

you don't go for it when we are playing like we are if we had a hot hand i would be upset with butch but the offence is having a hard time mostly cause of the oline! but still pretty happy to go in tied and get the ball starting second half!! Need to get neyland rocking though seems like we got fans sleeping this is TENNESSEE!! Scream Til You Have No Voice!! GET IN THE GAME!!

 

[OrngeChkrboardVFL]

But, what if they stopped us with their TOs, they would have had time to move the ball and the secondary was out of position most of the game

The epitome of playing not to lose^^

Your "what if" situation is a could have been. We actually had the ball with 3 timeouts and over a minute of play.

 

[SimplyOrange]

If we had used the to's, we might have been able to get Dobbs sacked 2 or 3 more times. Maybe even a fumble.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

The UK fan acting like a UT fan needs defending? Nah, he got it right

Next time I need anything from you there will be a bucket with lotion for your skin sent down the well.

They we deepening their own territory. We should have had better field position than them. If they stop us there is already much less time than we started with and we'd pin them deep. The real risk in using tos is the chance for a turnover. And that risk exist every time your in offense anyway

[AllVolinGA]

Football is an easy game to coach from the comfort of the easy chair. :loco:

 

[orangebloodgmc]

There will be one fresh Vol coming in to the game in 2nd half.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

If they'd bus in the South Carolina defense, I'd agree with you.

I thought he did a good job vs bama while trying to move the ball down the field. Again, I'm ok either way. He's not playing "not to lose" imo. He is playing to win and at this point he wanted to go in and talk to the O COOR and figure things out without giving the mo to mizzou going into half

 

[midtnvol2]

OK Bajakien, ROLL DOBBS OUT in the 2nd half, the oline is sill bad, he is getting killed in the pocket. You have 3 TE's as big as any player on Mizzu's defense. USE THEM! TE drags, TE WHAM on a QB Bootleg! Plays should net us 4-7 yards.
