Thoughts on this season

[Vols till I fall]

defending that, should should have never happened, but it happened and there's nothing we can do about it.

Ironic that we beat the big teams and flame out like this.

Tennessee will have some special years under Huepel, this season was just a sign of things to come.

I saw this team's true colors during the Georgia game. The scheming and coaching is there, the athletes definitely aren't. You could see how much more talent Georgia had on their roster opposed to Tennessee and it's pretty amazing what we were able to accomplish with a roster like ours.

Get Nico in here with some good Wr's and a secondary that can at least defend a cold, and we should be just fine.

Fix the defense, and we'll be okay.

Being 9-2 is wonderful. South Carolina being part of the 2 is unexpected.

Rattler made some great plays. With his legs, throwing to wide open guys and throwing into good coverage. Our defense didn’t put enough pressure on him to get off the field.

My 9 yr old called it early. After their opening drive he said we were going to lose.

We played to our film on both sides of the ball.

I don’t know about everyone else, but this loss at least from the day after it has ruined the experience of this season. Like finding an actual turd in your pie after an enjoyable dinner. I won’t be talking about how delicious the steak was, all I’ll be able to do is think about that damn turd.

Offense isn’t the problem. I’m happy with the way they played, have been all season with the exception of the Georgia game.
The defense played like ass. Simple as that. They didn’t pressure, didn’t cover, nothing. He had a clean pocket all night, with the exception of a few times when they blitzed and had success.
I don’t know if they didn’t blitz more because they didn’t have confidence in the secondary or what.
But dang- everybody knew their RBs were out and they would probably throw. Why the effort wasn’t there is something to be hashed out in that football building today. They had better get it figured out or people will forget about the quality wins and sellouts and all the momentum and will remember how they crapped the bed at a critical time
