The Official Tennessee vs. Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

How in the world does UT get recruits to stay committed, or get new ones to commit, when we produce garbage football like this?

 

[Vol737]

UGA, Auburn and Bama 3rd teamers will be able to play the entire 2nd half against us.

 

[minorvol]

If the onside had worked we be singing his praises for being the kinda coach we've been needing
Had every chance to work, players didn't make the play

I agree. But we would have fumbled or thrown a pick the way this game is going. Oh. Or we could fumble out of the end zone for a touchback.

I’m on board with Pruitt. Four games is too early to judge, but he should have had this team better prepared today.

The only improvment I’ve seeen with this team is the secondary and that is scary. We should see some improvement in all aspects of the game by game 4.

 

[utvolpj]

Everyone would have called the on side kick a brilliant play if vols would have recovered it

Of course I would have been excited but it was a stupid call that cost us 9pts and any momentum

It seems like it's a weekly problem. We've started out every game slow like this.

 

[LosingFaithVol]

just the wrong time to pull that.

 

[knoxchief]

Can we get the Gruden thread up and running!

It is certainly more entertaining than our football games.

 

[TEXASVOLFAN]

Agreed

 

[Freak]

Yep, he has no clue how to see a blitz coming.

Yeah, he doesn't seem to be able to sense pressure or where it's coming from. And with this o-line, that's an important thing to know. lol.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I’ll tell you this, we are gonna find out a lot about the Tennessee football team in the second half. Lots of players wearing orange jerseys that shouldn’t be imo.

 

[MAUSERWERKE]

when the admin finally breaks down and hire a real coach.

And who are we going to hire now? “Oh yes! UT has so much to offer coaches! Don’t start winning as our idiot fan base demands and get shown the door! We do have great buy out packages though!” Please be serious.

 

[VolsofJericho]

Does CP chew out the play caller or is that something Saban is allowed to do?

 

[peerless98]

Maybe I'm just an eternal optimist, but I think we can still make a game of this. We must score on the first possession of the 2nd half IMO!

 

[dougvolfan]

Florida is bad but we make them look like the patriots

 

[Vol737]

UGA, Auburn and Bama 3rd teamers will be able to play the entire 2nd half against us.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Hugh Freeze please....

That hire would result in a lot more "Pro Boner" work for the Knoxville area "Ladies of the Evening." lol

Cash money. But our bag guys aren't elite like the ones ole miss had a couple years back

 

[midtnvol2]

It's like they have no damn energy like they're the Ghosts of Christmas Past.
Persons that are high have better body language.

Its just like all the other UF vs UT games, no matter how much Florida sucks the y show up looking to whip our arse and UT crawls into a fetal position at the start of every game and wet the bed for the whole game and help Florida look like SEC East champs. Its a mental hurdle they will never get over.

 

[Specs]

we have to do something to punish over aggressive defenses. We are going to run out of quarterbacks at this rate

 

[vol4eva]

People blaming the fans for our current product are stupid as hell. Like the fans haven’t shown up for the last decade of embarrassments?

 

[Greenshark]

Remember. Vols are a very young team. Also gators have better athletes. Give Pruitt 3-4 years to recruit and get his guys in here and we’ll be able to compete.

 

[orange4ever]

If it works it's still a desperation call, just a desperation call that worked.

It is still just your opinion.

 

[malinoisvol]

RUB IT!

 

[VolsFan-TX]

At what point will Neyland start to empty?

Next FL TD
