24 points.... That's it

1 point would have gotten the job done. The other 23 are just icing on the cake

Found their schedule.

This team is pitiful. Nice job, Butch..

So the only team that's scored less points against these guys was UTSA.....wow

The only team to hold them to 0, is TENNESSEE !!

 

[Air_Force_Vol27]

What if we played bad on purpose to make the interim coach look good so he could get the job?

 

[QuickSmurf]

Kelly's a good back

 

[Sandman 423]

Oh man, another moral loss. Fire them all !!!!

 

[volinbama256]

Based on the extended exchange between coaches, I think butch took it easy today

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Butch is total class. He wasn't going to come out here and blow out NT for no reason. Better to build them up as opponents and build bridges. It was better to make this a stress test for his team.

 

[DallasVol92]

We've scored 7 points in the second half against the 125th defense in CFB

Scoring and stats, we prob are the worst 4th qtr in football.

 

[ReaderVol]

I swear if CBJ gives the "North Texas is a good team" speech.... :bash:

Why wouldn't he? Their head coach is a very good friend of his. Plus it's the respectful thing to do.

 

[GoVolunteers]

We sucked today

Yea..that's it

 

[Volstylexx]

You can have moral victories all the time!


I hate it? Right...

Get over it and celebrate being bowl eligible, or this that too mediocre for you?

 

[tnvols72]

BJ was telling NTS coach you believe TN is paying me millions for this s###t I'm putting on the field and they both start laughing.

 

[QuickSmurf]

Scoring and stats, we prob are the worst 4th qtr in football.

Our defense doesn't give up much in the second half though.

You're reaching well beyond the top shelf

players took it easy today also

 

[volger]

I had no idea Ray Liotta coached NT.

 

[molsen81]

No need to complain now. We know what team #119 is.......or do we?

 

[NTTHOR]

Thanks for not destroying our team too much and thanks to your band for playing our fight song at the beginning...very cool of them. Is that normal for your band?

 

[DC Vol]

Only 3/8 of the team has ever played in cold weather.

And of that 3/8 only 1/4 of them have played in the state of Tennessee AND NONE have played a team from Texas in the state of Tennessee in November wearing all orange so, really, we're lucky to have won by 24.

Uncharted territory requires resilience and 1% better every day.

 

[Wylo]

Neither has Bielema.

Seems Florida was the discussion. But Bielema has beaten good teams. And Butch. But really, not many haven't beaten Butch.

 

[midtnvol2]

That field looks like a driving range tee box. Geez.... But again, I just don't understand how we have so many great athletes, great facilities and great support yet we look like this week in and week out. And I'm not talking about the players poor tackling, lack of effort and decision making. Many of the things I see ARE from coaching schemes and philosophy. We have no creativity in our pass plays (routes are either to the flats or just verticals) and the runs are sweeps or keeps. I just don't understand. Butch can recruit players but I think his best recruiting needs to be a couple of new coaches this off season to shore up some key areas.

I am not a fan of this style of offense either, I wish we would go back to a pro style offense. Unfortunately as long as this coach is here we are stuck with this offense.
