I'll be rooting for the vols to win tonight but if we lose i'll be comforted by the fact that a loss should speed up CPF's demise.:frown:
UF's offense looks terrible--how come they didn't play like this last week.
Bear this in mind, the coaches can only get the players there. The only one at this point I would say should be taking full responsibility is Fulmer. Give Chavis and Cutcliffe some time to try to meld together a team of young players. Ainge, I know, is a senior... but he's the only one that has played with any consistency. He doesn't really make any mistakes, besides that one throw in the red zone at Fla.
He doesn't make any mistakes... nor does he make any plays, as either. It's up to the receivers to get YAC and keep drives alive.
Because a win over UT, to them, means a WHOLE lot more than a win over Ole Miss. Because they were playing at home. The list goes on.
No team can keep up a huge level of intensity through the season. They have some other, much tougher, games. Teams lose focus. They'll probably gain it back in the 2nd half and start to cut open Ole Miss. And putting up almost 250 yards in the first half against giving up barely 140 isn't really playing "like crap". And even though we looked like crap, they're still averaging more per carry than they did, even against us. 6.1 per carry vs. 5.5 against us.
I've said this before, watch the whole game before passing any judgement. Our decent 1st half against them certainly didn't matter after all 60 minutes were played.
