There's no other reason to punt there. And the Bama offense makes him look foolish with a 1st down on the 1st play to erase the poor field position.

How did that field position game work for us? A 98 yard drive. Keep punting Butch. I love ya, but that punt was pretty lame...

It would not have mattered what he did on 4th down there. We came out flat today with no intensity. Tbat coupled with Alabama being so much more talented than us spelled disaster for us.

It does matter. It called playing to win. That 98 yard TD drive is significantly more demoralizing to the team than a failed 4th down play in Bama territory.

If it doesn't matter, then just go for it. What's the extra punt get ya? Or the FG for that matter. We're steady running plays that don't matter on downs 1-3.

When you start coaching like you already lost the game, the players will start playing like they already lost the game

I'm pretty sure the players can see the scoreboard. They'll play to the final gun no matter what though.

That's exactly what he should do at this point. Use the second half to prepare for Missouri. Missouri is not even close to being as good as Alabama. That is a winnable game for us. If you don't see that then you are one dumb %#.

Just get Dobbs all the playing time and confidence you can. Get him prepared for ther Missouri. He may be the answer to our offensive problems.

A word of advice for everyone. Don't watch sportscenter for the next week or so!

ESPN will catalog as many Bama highlights with UT players looking ridiculous as possible for many promos to come.... unfortunately, they have many to choose from.

No .... Just don't act like a bunch of second guessing women at a cross stitch club.

I'm giving your Christmas present to Vader now.

Went for it on 4th down and we get a TD. I guess I'm still the dummy though.

Gotta get ready for Mizzou. This games been done since the kickoff. Need some positive energy going forward now that we have our new QB.

And we just did so. Great decision to go for it, they got it, and scored! A much better result than punting and giving up a 98 yard drive IMO.
