after reading some of the other posts and a few of the articles up already and watching most all of the games yesterday....here are few things that stood out to me, and i'll start with the TN/USM game...
i'm very glad there was a 2nd half. in the first half everything was just bad. the defense looked worse than last week...missed tackles, again, out of position all over the feild, again, yada, yada, yada. and the offense, for as well as it did play, it really left me scratching my head at times. the JC play really made me wonder....i just kept hearing CDC in my head "we were just 'outhinking' ourselves." and as well as Arian Foster played looking back on it...there were times in the 1st half where i really wanted anyone else in the game. I still have no use for Josh Briscoe. Erik ainge was great. AR and LT were great as wel. and like VIA said in another thread, the O line looks to be getting better and better.
now, to offer some credit where credit is due.....the end of the 2nd qtr where went for the 4th and 7...i just have this funny feeling someone got pissed off on the sidelines and that was a "challenge" play. good call. team responded and it carried over to the 2nd half. for the first time a what seems like a long time, the coaching staff did, cough, and EXCELLENT job of making adjustments for the 2nd half. they established the run, got lennon creer involved, hardesty involved and then FINALLy statred to feed AF the ball, which payed huge dividends. and the defense....well....night and day difference. all i can say is it was at least good to see that we are capable of reaking some havoc for an opposing offense. forced turnovers, punts, qb hurries and had some big hits.
but i'll admit, at half time....i was ready to fire EVERYBODY.
so i'm very glad there was a 2nd half....that was more like it. how does that translate to next week? have no idea....i still don't think we will win that game, but it does still have to be played.
Elsewhere: BC and Clemson are the class of the ACC. OK is the class of the big 12, and the 2nd place team isn't even close. LSU is the class of the SEC and 2nd isn't close. as bad as it may be in K'ville, does anyone want to trade with Michigan right now? oof....tough times in Ann Arbor....that's a bad team. and there's no one in the big 10 that should scare anyone... my top 3...LSU, OK, USC. doesn't matter after that right now.
Auburn: WTF? nicely done Tommy.
Alabama: big deal. you beat Vandy. Again.
South Carolina: nicely done, seriously.
Notre Dame:
lol:
Florida: see you next week...me thinks it will be a high scoring affair.:blink:
Georgia: Mark Richt=CPF light. told ya Rex.:thumbsup:
it's now officially Florida Week. Go Vols.
