UT Nationally Valid AGAIN! Pruitt is MORE than we asked for!

Head Coach Jeremy Pruitt just completed the most rapid turnaround of a program in football history. I had my doubts and secretly hoped for other big name coaches. It took Meyers, Saban, and others much longer than the 6 games this man needed to get back on the college football map. Even Pruitt himself thought it would take longer! I hoped for Frost but he is 0-6 in a WEAK conference.

Two thoughts:
1. It feels good to be a national power again
2. I wish we could play Florida again since the turnaround

I know people are excited but this has to be just to get a reaction from others on here. No way you are serious.

Negavols in abundance.

I knew there'd be naysayers but how can anyone ignore the adjustments made since the white board hissy fit kicking incident 2 weeks ago compared to yesterday?

Yes there are good signs but by your logic Old Dominion is now a national power since they beat Va Tech. We won a single game and Auburn has major issues and helped us a lot. Pruitt is off to a good start and we may finish strong but let’s get back in the rankings before claiming we are nationally relevant.

the adjustments were awesome. It looked like we had the whole offseason to prepare instead of a bye week. With that being said, this was 1 game against an over rated program. it WAS a quality win but not a GREAT program. Slow your roll partner. i appreciate your enthusiasm. Our WR group has been elite all along, we just have to get them the ball every week. GREAT performance yesterday. Bad as i hate to say it, Bama will be ugly next week. I dont wish injury against anyone but maybe we will see Hurts next week and not Tua......Tua will likely never lose a game as a starter at bama

We went from Butch's team against West Virginia, to an improved team against Florida (not the score but fundamentals), to a conditioned and poised team yesterday.

Watch what happens against Alabama. Not sure we'll win but they'll know what we are now. I say, at worst, we run out of juice and they come from behind late, if at all.

Old Dominion is not the national program we are and have always been. That was a fluke, yesterday was not.

Haha, perfect.

OP, Auburn will end unranked and and considered underachievers. But the main thing is, we looked like a real football team beating them and that is cause for celebration. But "relevant" in the bigger picture? Let's just go with taking small steps to get there.

Great win and it was talked about nationally as it should have been. Jones beat a top 10 team his first year (really his best win) and then fell on his azz before finishing.

It wont be turned around before he gets to Atl. That's not this year much less after this game. Hopefully yday is a good step towards that.

Fundamentals against Florida? Did you watch that game? We couldn't block, run, pass, or tackle. Unless you mean another game, you're trolling.

Be careful!!
One game does not make a season
One game does not make a coaching career

I personally like the white board kicking. Pruitt has that inner fire.You are starting to see his team take on his personality.[/QUOTE

Oh but it's not politically correct. This day and time he should have hugged who ever caused his outburst, patted them on the back and told them "that"s alright do better next time"! BS!!!

Don't see anything that suggests you improved enough to beat us. We've beaten two ranked teams since we beat you, and both teams had beaten Auburn this season. Your win is a combination of UT improving at the QB position and Auburn regressing and really becoming awful at this point in time. Congrats on the win, but it is your first SEC win in a long time. So calm down and do not take Missouri / Vandy or South Carolina lightly.

We are still a couple of years away from being relevant and that is if the players continue to show improvement and if the coaches can bring in top ten recruiting classes.
