We were simply a few missed plays from winning

[GBOplayer]

1. Nico overthrew Squirrel White on a long pass by about 2 steps which would have been a TD

2. We missed a safety by 1 yard in the first half…if we had that, we could have kicked a field goal at the end

3. The play near the end where Nico bobbled the snap and ended up being a short run by Sampson (we had to burn up a timeout) would have been a long pass play, it looked like we had someone open

This game could have gone either way. We are still on track to make the playoffs.

Hahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhaa

It's not over, but you're not winning with that kinda play calling. Better find out who's throttling it and get rid of it. Take the gloves off...shoulda done that in the bye week.

 

[Carl Pickens]

I hear Fulmer’s ghost ……

 

[VOLtaism]

We better start worrying about Vanderbilt.

 

[Doberman]

We were actually a few plays from losing by 3 TDs.

 

[vols 30]

The running into the kicker didn't help either

We very well could have won , yeh , but the problem is that we were bullied at the LOS all game and we couldn't work outside the pocket or move it enough to improvise. That's a really big problem with who's left on the schedule.

We're not making the playoffs. We're insanely overrated. Wake up.

 

[Madscientistvol]

I know that the doom and gloom levels that people like me are going to is probably unreasonable, but you can’t polish this turd and we are regressing hard and fast on offense and not just in this game. Everyone should have major alarms going off right now, things are absolutely not right.

That’s true.

But on our worst day we should have won a sweater and on a good day we beat them by 4-5 TD’s.
The negative is why didn’t we when we clearly have the better team.
That makes me a lot less confident that we are on “track” to make the playoffs

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

We were two freaking TD favorites for crying out loud.

 

[UTblood4life]

Lost 4 times now to Arkansas no excuse, the whole game plan or whatever u call is/was horrible, I know we are fresh off a loss, but this stings like Wyoming, many people I'm sure have hit the reset button on bvs, it's the disappointment that stings, this just Effin sux

 

[orangemadam]

Bad news is that we could actually lose 4 or 5 games (Bama, Fla, Ga, Ky)

Knucklehead plays continue to haunt us. Running into punter, continued off sides, untimely penalties

We could have lost that game by 3 TD's yesterday. Injuries to their key personnel kept the game close.

LB look like deer in a headlight. Many times they are out of position at the snap. Pass coverage nonexistent

 

[feathersax]

Uhhh...that's a ways away (Nov. 30). SIX other opponents, & looking ahead is never smart.

We also need to stop the false start penalties, especially at the beginning of a drive. It's like we were slapping ourselves in the face.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

If Arkansas played mistake free it would have been a blowout by them. We should have been down 2 touchdowns minimum in the first half. That was one factor that kept me thinking we'd probably end up pulling it out. Usually when one team dominates another in the first half the way Arkansas did us and only leads by 3, the football gods end up making them pay for it.

 

[TikiVol]

We’re looking at 8-4. This offense has zero heart and even less leadership. Our o-line is not SEC caliber, and doesn’t seem to care. Way too many penalties and lack of discipline. Our D-line is not able to overcome our secondary. This was really bad football to watch outside our punting game.

Exactly this is not a playoff team, still a middle of the pack SEC.

They will lose a minimum of 3 games, possibly 5.

 

[Cartervol]

And everyone else they play. They're not going to run teams with a pulse off the field...This offense won't allow that..

 

[MurphyVol]

Arkansas left about 17 points on the field the first half. They did everything they could to give this game away.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Welcome to the SEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, Bama said, oh nevermind....

“If coulda shoulda woulda” — the motto of losers everywhere.

Bottom line is “we didn’t.”

 

[Chad F]

Have a coach on the hotseat? Have a back-up QB playing in a critical moment? Need someone to bail you out of a tough spot in your season and help you get back on track?

Just schedule Tennessee for a night game on national tv. That’ll fix it for you.

 

[marcusluvsvols]

The running into the kicker didn't help either

The winning FG.

They had already punted us the ball. Those 3 points beat us.

Is this game on Ross? No. But the points that beat us are a direct result of his inexusable in junior high mistake. Wasnt even a punt block call. We sent nobody. Max protect. He did that all on his own.
