Vandy, Ky, Mizzou, Bowling Green, Tenn Tech, S Car, and South Alabama say hello. Also Pitt and Ole Miss. UT is rated 19th in talent. They have three 5 stars (More than all teams I listed combined) and forty eight 4 stars. I agree GA is a very good team. But they have 5 starters out with injuries and are playing a walk on QB. That was a butt whippin! And once again we lose to FL, GA, and ALA by 20+ points. Better days ahead though. GBO!!!

did you see this Tennessee team the last few years……last 4?

What “talent” Tennessee had left over (for the most part) was underdeveloped……..that’s one of the major reasons the last two coaches are gone. Some of the “other” talent on this team is new.

A 3 star junior on Bama……would probably rate better now (even many on other teams as well).

A 5 star junior on last year’s Tennessee team……may very well rate lower.

If some of you folks think this roster is loaded with “developed” talent……..then I don’t know what to say.

Kind of hard to develop this shaky roster in less than a year.

but hey everyone should keep complaining while Tennessee goes 7-5…….something Pruitt didn’t do, Butch didn’t do, Doofy didn’t do and even “Kiffin” didn’t do year 1.

Tennessee has a legit chance to win 8 games this season, after all that happened, and after all those players left……….and folks still bitchin and moaning……….wow.

What does it take to realize what the badass ones before you did? What does it take to play for that T on your helmet? Absolutely embarrassing.

Come on man, get real. Number 1 team in the nation comes in here and we hung more points on them than anyone so far? I'll tell you how we got in this spot and what is way more embarrassing than today. Picture says it all. Last year, their coach and our coach. Now go back in your hole. Bama is calling for you.

Thank you Jeremy. You are why good players left.

There is not enough talent on this roster to compete with teams like UGA. TN is going to finish with 7 regular season wins. A lot of people on this board didn't believe that was attainable. JH has to upgrade the roster and needs time to do so. GBO!

I have no idea. Made the comment in the Florida-Samford thread in Around the NCAA.

I've seen injuries derail a season. I've seen some kind of horrific event derail a season. Some other things too.

I have never seen a team (and really the whole program as recruiting has become a joke) go from competent to incompetent in a month and half without an obvious smoking gun.

I don't know where the team that played Alabama and Tennessee went, but it's dead and gone.

So is Mullen.

Is Mullen a dead man walking?

Bunch of dumb ****s that really hyped themselves into thinking we were gonna win this game.

People need to separate their personal identity from a game that’s out of their control. I’ll gladly take the ban to ignore the dumb ****s that have no clue how football works and still are stuck in the 90s and think that regardless of talent we should just turn around and be the best team every year.

Georgia averages scoring 39 points per game

They had averaged giving up 6.5 point per.

Tennessee allowed 2 points over and Georgia gave up 11.5 more than normal.

Georgia is simply that good, and Tennessee is clearly not there yet on a talent level…….and heck Tennessee could easily have had 6 more points…….but those wouldn’t have mattered……so they went for it and at least “tried.”

Not sure what some folks are smoking……I’d even bet “some” of those complaining predicted the score to be like this or worse.

I did not allow myself to be set up for disappointment. I’ve watched Georgia play a lot this season and was fairly certain they would be the team that exposed our offense. Am I disappointed in the loss? Yes, most definitely! Am I disappointed in the season thus far? No way. I didn’t think this squad would even come close to 7 wins, yet it is a real possibility! What this staff has done with this roster is pretty impressive imo.
GBO!!

Isn’t homecoming always that way? The fact is, alumni that don’t give 2 💩’s about this program, come to the game to mingle and be seen. It is what it is.
GBO!!

With all due respect, 💩 is right because you’re taking out of your arse here.

The game went exactly as everyone thought it would go. There were no major injuries. Lighten up, Francis.

Who said the game didn’t go as planned? The game went exactly as I thought it would and besides, I thought we were talking about the crowd here? People are talking about the lack of enthusiasm from the crowd, I know plenty of alumni who don’t care one bit about Tennessee football, that attended this game. I made a statement and I’m sticking to it, sorry if it got under your skin.
GBO!!

No.....we played like absolute dog ****.

You played a superior opponent and lost. They may be the eventual national champion.

Tennessee has gotten better throughout the year and is looking at a 7-5 record. It would be 8-4 if the Florida game were in November.

If you honestly don't think things are better now than a year ago, I don't know what to tell you. And that's with the NCAA thing still hanging around.

Damn shame a UF fan has more football sense than some UT fans but here you are again. Jackass 😁

Correct. “Fans” like you are absolutely embarrassing.
And why don’t you tell us…and those working their a$$es off wearing the “T” on their helmet…how to play for it. Clearly you’ve been there and can offer profound insight as to what they’re all doing wrong.
