Bad game. No running game and defense missed tackles. Wilcox'd defense looks soft........not liking the whole bend bt not break thing. Missing tackles comes down to coaching period.
Just in case you twist it, I'm all Vol and wish we had stomped Florida into the ground.
That out of the way, I do declare that the worse damned trolls on this board are so called Vols fan like you so full of themselves and quick to find fault where none exists. Wilcox and Dooley and gradually assembling the pieces we need to return to the upper echelon of CFB. The work isn't yet complete but getting there. The proof? Florida for all its weaknesses is team loaded with blistering speed which we saw today. Yet our patchwork defense stymied them repeatedly.
We killed ourselves with bad snaps that forced Bray to bend over repeatedly to retrieve the ball. By the way imbecile, that is an offensive miscue, Wilcox has nothing to do with it.
It was pretty obvious early that we can't really run against Florida. Bray wanted to open up on the passing attack but coaches differed until probably too late.
Now defense, Florida has two speed demons. If you blink those super gnats are gone, just gone. If you focus on them, Florida will dump the ball off to whoever we leave uncovered. This means our defense is forced to jitterbug all over the place, which means empty spaces on the field. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Florida's luck is to have those weapons. Considering all this, our defense performed admirably. Had Bray been cut loose early, he may have thrown more interceptions OR more TDs. We won't know this year. But YOU, you know nothing, go support another team. Or become a Calaveras County Jumping Frog Contest fan.
We lost. A better team beat us today and that is that.
