The Official Tennessee vs. #6 Florida Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[volfan4lyfe]

That last one worked well but it also looked lucky to me. He threw it so early and it worked but the little we’ve seen him he hasn’t been able to make those throws when it really matters.

Again, not buying it. Luck? You mean a QB that threw a TD pass on a dime to the corner of the end zone. Okay...

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

No doubt. They didn’t remotely try to stop UT.

That late TD cost people a lot of money

 

[malibuvol]

Florida wasn’t remotely playing defense. They was one play they didn’t even cover a guy at all.

You mean the way we played defense ALL game long???

 

[cgrish]

Dude, it’s garbage time and UF isn’t even trying

Dude we had garbage time last year as well and only scored 3 points the whole game.

 

[andyk_14]

Probably will, we lost last year 38 to 3, so we improved without him, and Fla is better this year than last year. lost by 12 today, and don't think garbage time, we had garbage time last year as well. I like to look at things positive, we improved by 23 points without jg, which is what I have been saying all along, no we didn't win, but it was closer, and who knows what would have happened if coaches had spent the time needed with either Shrout, or Bailey. They have not played much at all and still much closer than last year with jg against a better Fla team.

If the coaches had spent more time with Bailey or Shrout the score would have been a lot worse....(See J.G for examples)

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Not to pile on JG, but it’s remarkable how close you can keep an otherwise lopsided game if you don’t turn the ball over.

 

[MocVol]

I just want to know why, with Florida roughing our passer three times today, didn't we knock the crap out of Trask at least ONCE?? Take the penalty and just knock the crap out of him ONE TIME!!

 

[BigOrange88]

Thank God its over

 

[CA_Vol]

Didn’t say any such thing. I do think he should be at least given a chance. If you think we should go all in on Bailey at this stage like we have JG for 4 years I don’t know what to tell you.

Good lord this is a dumb take. Good lord.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

I try not to bad mouth players ( just coaches) but Cimaglia has his head in his Azz this year

Sarah Fuller lives rent-free in his head

 

[snowvols]

I didn't see a lot of benchwarmers on the field for Florida and they played that same scheme all game where they just tried to keep everything in front of them. Give Shrout credit. He was on target and his timing with the receivers looked good. He also escaped pressure a few times. I thought that was the most effective QB play we've seen in a while...maybe all season.

Dude, they blitzed the whole game. Especially on 3rd down with our run run pass game plan. They didn't blitz once with Shrout in and were usually rushing 3. We also threw almost as many passes the last two drives than we did in 3 1/2 qtrs. It was idiotic to pull Bailey and not get him more reps. If Pruitt is back he needs to transfer.

Not me.

 

[cgrish]

Of course he would. But do I think he is the best hire we could make if we make money no issue? I do not.

Who do you think would be better??

 

[Vol4life2]

What does that make you all?

Volunteer fans!

 

[peerless98]

Yeah dummy, HB needs the work. They decided to pull him to do what, exactly? Prep Shrout for next year? You can’t be this stupid.

Bless your heart! You don't even realize how dumb you sound. What would have prevented HB from getting injured like Calbert did during trash time? You can't have it both ways just to fit your emotions.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Fulmers body language showed he was not happy with what he was seeing. My guess it is soon.

Did you say....


SOON?

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Not me.

Mullen must have had $50k on the Vols

 

[C-south]

Good lord this is a dumb take. Good lord.

Drink one for me

I would have liked to seen Bailey get to throw more than they let him throw, In most cases he only got to throw on 3rd and long, it was run run pass

 

[malibuvol]

How TF has Shrout not been our starting QB all year.

Haven't you read all of the other quotes from the QB gurus on this board??? Because UF was playing backups and in a soft zone defense...LOL

 

[vavolfan6]

Not sure if serious, but entertaining post nonetheless.

Very serious! Wait until the draft....he will be a midday pick (3rd - 5th rd).

 

[BreatheUT]

Fulmers body language showed he was not happy with what he was seeing. My guess it is soon.

When did they show Fulmer?

 

[JMSqb11]

Who do you think would be better??

Lincoln Riley or Lane Kiffin would be my two “blank check hires”. Freeze will wait for us.

Pruitt said for the 1st time Wed that Cimaglia has played hurt all season. Apparently he got hurt in the couple weeks of fall practice and has been struggling with it all year. Makes sense. After a full off-season to heal up, he should be all SEC again next year IMO

They blitzed shrout at least twice. He played well against a good team regardless of what they were doing. I’m not naming him the starter just thinking maybe he should get a few reps going forward.
