We need to impose our will. WHY DON'T WE?

[OrangeSoddyDaisy]

We were better at every position, including every coaching position today. We were better today at every opposing position as well. We should impose our will when we have an opportunity like we did today. Why don't we? I have to hold coaching responsible. UTEP extended their away losing streak record and we would beat them 10 out of 10 but why didn't we embarrass them instead of the other way around. Our vols might take a lesson from my home town Trojans!

The OL has been getting whipped in the middle. IMO, Ryan Johnson and Carvin looked much better today. The coaches are impressed with Jahmir Johnson but he seems to be the weak link.

 

[Special Ed]

Currently, our will is more of a won't.
Or a can't.

 

[SmokeyDaBear]

Yeah they just look like they aren’t fired up or lethargic. Not fighting hard or coming out pumped. Idk maybe a turnover shopping cart?

 

[sameolvol]

Vanilla play calling on offense. Vanilla sets on defense. Lots of fellas were in there really, really early...despite no imminent blowout. Hmmmmmmm. Florida's coming to town next week. 'Wonder what ol' CJP's workin' on.

Let me see if I'm following along. A lot of Volnation posters think we should beat these cupscakes 75-0 but will struggle to win a sec game? Got it

 

[Volatility]

I don’t know, maybe we should hire an army of sports psychologists to figure out why so many of them play soft.

I think UT should have more than 4 scoring drives against a team like UTEP.

Could be because its freaking UTEP.

 

[The Original Fade]

They will be fired up versus UF. Hey, were 2-1

Banks and Calloway had bad fumbles. Game should’ve been fore like 38-0

Shoulda, woulda, coulda. Offense was overall sloppy. We got away with it because it was UTEP.

Sloppy? JG was 12-16 for like 170 yds with a TD and no picks and our backs ran 50 times for 345 yds. That’s not sloppy. 2 fumbles hurt us - that’s all

So we looked pretty good?

 

[McDad]

Sloppy. Unprepared. Lethargic. Those look like coaching to me.

Because our former coaches strength and training program consisted of voluntary workouts, yoga, and pilates

Stupid penalties, 2 turnovers, 4/12 on 3rd down. Oline is still a turnstall overall. JG's continued high completion percentage and our running game continue to be the only signs of improvement.

It was sloppy against an outmatched UTEP. JG has one passing TD in three games, and we don't have the offensive line to rely on the run game going into SEC play.

Well it had 5 so success?

Given where we are as a program, I don't see what was so bad about that game. We lost a TD to a fumble... valuable experience for Banks. Pruitt wanted our backup QB to get some reps, which likely cost us a touchdown or two. Our D pitched a shutdown and held them to way under 200 total yards.

Aside from the areas where we already know we're weak, what was so bad? Oh and Chandler broke one for 80+ yards and JG had two sweet deep balls to Johnson.

This is the game I watched.

Its pretty simple. We are just a terrible football team.

 

[lostsheep]

Rewind the tape and watch Drew Richmond and Jamir Johnson try to block on a few plays...then you'll see why we can't impose our will.

You counting the goal line fumble as a "moral score"?

Sloppy. Unprepared. Lethargic. Those look like coaching to me.

Thanks Botch Jones.
