Didn't we win last night?

[Volnanza]

You would think we lost if you only read the posts on this board. Winning by 3 touchdowns is usually called a "dominate" win and many here are whining about...WHAT? I, for one, am trilled by the progress this team has made in the past two weeks. Cocky had 138 yards rushing last night with 75 of those on one play. That's 57 yards on 26 rushes or 2.1 yrds per play. That's outstanding rush defense. Our front 7 dominated them all night...and we have a LOT of improvement to make.

We rushed for 238 yards. Mays coming back was big we all saw the difference it makes when Milton doesn't worry about the rush coming right up the middle. And guess what...this is Mays 1st game this year. That means he is still shaking off the rust and will even more effective in the games to come. He'll be twice as good in two weeks. The rest of the line will follow his lead.

The team is responding and improving and they have a lot of room to go. When the DE's figure out how to keep control of themselves when rushing the QB, they will be a nightmare. How many times did they just wiff on sacking Rattler. They will get better and they won't have a more elusive QB to chase all year.

A&M in two weeks should be a barn burner. They have way better talent than SCe. Max Johnson is no Spencer Rattler though so maybe we can get to him early and often.

Losing McCoy was a big hit. I do hope it's not as bad as it looked. Best wishes to perhaps our best receiver. I don't know what cocky was doing, but we had two LTs go down. We got 2 weeks to practice and heal and prepare. The A&M game is huge and if we play well we can roll into Bama with momentum.

In conclusion, STOP PISSING AND MOANING, we won BIG. CELEBRATE!!! and GO VOLS.

I don’t think many are pissing and moaning. Bru’s injury is really somber though; a lot of fans concerned with him. I think some are probably pissed we let Florida get away.

I rewatched the game this morning and our defense really jumped off the screen. We had Rattler rattled all night and besides a couple of big plays, physically dominated them. If we can win by 21 even with 2 turnovers and a third basically on the fake punt, I’ll be happy as a pig in ****.

At least the team bounced back, while the NEGA element is still languishing around and trying to justify a lack of rational assessment of what happened last night.

Our defense and run game saved the day. That is fact.

You can't fix stupid. Just move on and ignore the trash.

Last year, there were even people complaining about a few things after the LSU game, which was probably our best game, top to bottom. People are always going to complain.

People complained about David Leaverton and Tee Martin a lot in 1998.

 

[VOLfrombama]

It’s pretty easy to sit back and pick this team apart. There are plenty of weaknesses in spite of the fact that they played a lot better last night.

That being said I am proud of my team again and will take a W every Saturday I can get one.

no, it's called a dominaNt win, not a "dominate" win.

lol....
The 239 passing yards didn't hurt. (more than rushing yards btw) The passing TD was a beautiful route and throw. The deep catch by Squirrel was phenomenal and gave us a score. But I understand your agenda.

 

[BanditVol]

I am usually quick to criticize the Legions of the Miserable myself, but looking down the board, I don't really see the negativity.

Man shut up!

Bru broke his damn leg into pieces, and Milton is STILL out there stalling the offense!!

Thank goodness the defense got help back, and Cooper Mays for returning to starting lineup from injury.

We needed Nico to play a lot these last 3 games.

Go have a happy time in your own puddle of slop!!

This is a little bit of an overaction toward the entire thread.

 

[VolinMichigan]

There will always be haters. This was a good win with mostly positive things happening. I feel bad for Bru McCoy and his loss will be felt. But if this team can lean on the defense and running game, then this season will be fine.

Excellent point- despite two turnovers and a conversion on a fake punt, our Vols took it to USCjr.

I remember during the Cornbread days when we were happy that the team scored 31 points. Now the team is criticized if they score 31 points.

Time to give out helmet stickers:
Defense= for bringing it all night. Much improved. We needed this effort
Milton= in spite of throwing 2 int, did a good job overall of managing the game and running the offense.
Running backs= great job of making plays and getting 1st downs and yes, scoring.

Nico ain’t playing much this year unless Joe goes down.

Agreed. There's always gonna be a few whiners, but it's not all that bad now. And I refuse to talk about the gaters game.

We won by 3 TDs

Milton looked fine to me. The first INT was his fault for not seeing the safety, but the 2nd pick was a good throw that the SC DB made a good play on. Last night was also the first time where the drops weren’t difficult plays because the throw was a bit off. Milton hit Castles and at least one or two others that hit them in the hands. He also didn’t make a lot of dumb throws or force plays. The throw to Squirrel was under thrown, but sometimes you got to trust the WRs to make a play and White made them last night.

I was most impressed with how he responded to Bru’s injury. Last week, Milton was on fire for most of the first half but got off balance when Bru went out near the end of the 1st half, as though Bru was his security blanket. This week it took a series for him to get refocused, but he responded in fine fashion.

He’s never going to be as accurate as Hendon Hooker, but he’s a good leader and managed the game well.

Man get a grip. Everybody hates what happened to Bru. Nico is not playing for one main reason. He wants to get Joe all the reps he can. Nico is not gonna play unless Joe goes down. Get used to it
