2-14 on 3rd down! What can we do to correct this?

[imbubbaspitcup]

The penalties killed us. GA"s defense exposed us! Should we put Hooker on rollouts? Run 4 Wr"s sets? Mizzou has a good defense!

 

[74charger]

Get 1st downs!!!

Don't play UGA again is how to avoid it

 

[papatomany]

We weren't as effective on first and second down. Our usual seven yards (or more) first down completions were only getting 4. Second down runs we're going nowhere. (Missed Small after he went down.)

Again all offensive woes started with the Oline getting their asses whipped.

 

[madbamahater]

It was a bad day. Vols shouldn't have these issues again.

 

[Rememberthelate90s]

Run ball, run hooker more. Force dbs to eye the back field. In a playoff there is no tomorrow so if hooker gets hurt it was woeth it. We cant affors hooker to get hurt now. If we see them again the coaches will have a different plan bc ga won't change a thing.

Great answer!!

 

[vols 30]

Block the other team

Stop jumping offside

Lol

No other team is equipped to do what Georgia did. We have to recruit at a high level every year like they do and we'll win our share.

I agree!

 

[Chitlin&theDude]

GA showed what the pinnacle of recruiting looks like. We're a really good team but GAs players (especially in the trenches) were too good. We schemed past AL, but not GA.

 

[Kinglberry]

Get more talent, there was a big disparity that showed. We can handle a under coached team with higher talent, but Georgia is well coached. The only way to get there is to level the talent and then go head to head. It's coming and the gap is/will close faster with this exceptional year boosting it.

To get to the playoffs we have to treat every remaining game like a playoff game. We have to win and win big to pass the eye test. No taking the foot off the gas.

Get out of 3rd and long.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Penalties were ridiculous, rbs in pass blocking, but Hooker looked paralyzed out there, held it way too long. Either throw it away or pull it and run. Also not enough designed qb runs dialed up. Way too much wr screens

Yeah but the coaches know ga was not if we lose its over scenario. As long as we didn't get blown out that is. And we didn't. We lost by 2 tds. Now we have to attack our last three. I agree with that. But just winning them would be ok. Definitely need GA to win out to help us wouldn't hurt.

Nobody and I mean nobody is gonna have success in 3rd and long when you’re O-line is struggling. They didn’t expose us; we just got beat upfront and Hooker missed on some deep throws

 

[McDad]

We can't correct it.

We watch the games.

They play the games.

Mizzou will be handled efficiently.

 

[D-Vols]

Stop jumping offside

Can I like this about five or six times, I think this was the biggest thing in the game

Not play Georgia, they are the defending NC’s with probably the best defense in America. Some of y’all are reading way too much into last night’s game

 

[Volswin98]

I feel like it is the 90’s again. We had a bad game. It’s going to happen. We are probably looking at 11-1 as long as we take care of business. That would put us in the CFB or the Sugar Bowl. This after years of 4-8, 5-7, 6-6, 7-5 and either no bowl or Music City Bowl. TN is judged on 3 things - TN, Ala, and Ga. We got two of those in a year we were supposed to be 8-4 tops. LSU is one of the hottest teams out there and we beat them thoroughly in their place. Assuming business is done then we still can think about playoffs (whether we get there or not) at Thanksgiving and not recruiting to help with the 5 year rebuild. I’m disappointed too, but we are having a wonderful season even if it was the 90’s. Don’t over analyze and enjoy the ride.

How to improve ? Stop running into the guy who just called fair catch on a punt. Stop moving before the ball is snapped. Catch the punted ball if its not in the end zone. Don't run a pass play when you are 5 yrds deep in the end zone. Practice plays that counter the blitz. Incorporate the use of tight ends.
