Man, every time you think you can't feel worse about a UT performance... boom they bring you to a new low. Lol Well at least they keep surprising. I have Bama friends trying to pretend they are rooting for Tennessee to do well because we are so pathetic. This is incredible. Sorry for *****ing. Had to vent somewhere, after all.
We need to get our act together on offense--and I'm talking about the coaches! Do I expect this group to score 30? No. But I know this: Good offensive coaches can take mediocre or young talent and MAKE FIRST DOWNS. They can do that by playing to strengths, by emphasizing execution on a manageable number of plays, and by good play calling. We had one good drive and then the offense completely imploded. We seemed to run the same slow-developing play all day--getting two yards. And let's not pretend that Oregon is alabama defensively. They aren't.
Just saw thE post game: one question was not asked. "Do you regret not going for it on forth and short?"
I do feel bad for coach and the players trying to do this schedule with a bunch of young men strait out of high school and JUCO. NO DEPTH.
\Next week's Florida offense may feel like slow motion between plays. Look at it this way...this game was us on Paris Island getting boot camp for the SEC season. You have to be broken down before you can truly come together and build up.
I'm pretty realistic and didn't expect anything this game. If the Redskins can struggle against this type offense and these Ducks run it three seconds faster, we were doomed from the beginning.
Butch has brought back pride with previous coaches and alumni. As many have stated, we need patience. Beat the Gators and VN flips back the other direction. Go Vols!
It was expected if you've been paying attention.
BUTCH JONES: This is unacceptable when you play football at the University of Tennessee.
: We need to regroup. It's a very, very long season. We're going to find out our competitive spirit.
Our fan showing was outstanding. This will not be tolerated. We can NEVER accept this performance.
This football team is prideful. It's all in the week of prep. Florida isn't going to feel sorry for us. We have to get better.
