They're not giving up, that's a positive

Yea. Much more hussle on both sides of the ball. Our kids gave 100%...we gave up some big yardage on some coverage failures but overall the d played tough. Looking forward to see them after an extra week of practice.

Yeah you're right. Taking 21 true freshmen into Norman against the #4 team in the country should've been a cakewalk

Cakewalk no, but that game should have at least gone to over time and we could have won. Bad play calling and Croom lost it. The o line wasn't that impressive tonight and even with their poor play we could have won. This one is going to sting for a while. That play call makes me sick

I like jancek. The only thing that concerns me is the soft cushion we give them some times. Bajakian has always been questionable calling plays. I truly believe the defense gave their all and only gave up 3 tds. Offensive play calling killed us tonight.

You mean in the fourth quarter when it was still a game your crazy I can tell u what that game in Neyland just got scary as **it for Ou

It was never a game in the 4th. Watch a 17 point game that doesn't involve tennessee and see how interested or impressed. It wasn't a game.

Next year we have Mackenzie Barnett vereen hendrix true depth across the board and the o-line will improve it just takes time......love worley but we need him to pull it 5 to 6 times a game just to hold backside end besides that im calling it don't be surprised if we start next season ranked

Croom is a bust ! Definitely needed Von tonight. I believe he would have been the difference in the second half. Too many drops by Croom tonight when we needed him

I'm proud of our team also. The key turning points in the game were
1) Worley ' s fumble
2) Fumble not called for us before the half.
3) Croom ' s effort to fight for the jump ball that was intercepted.
4) 100 yard interception return sealed the deal.

Just what you would expect from a very talented but very young team. Flashes of brilliance accompanied by busted assignments, dropped passes, missed blocks, etc.

However, OL will have to improve, a lot for this team to get to 6 wins.

With the exception for our offensive line our team looked massively improved. Worley did great despite the beating. Our defense actually played with pride. Blocking that kick at the end made me so proud. We've got potential. Now is the time to Support our team

I think we are a good football team. A very young team but a good team. I have a question, Are the Gators this bad again or did Kentucky get a lot better with a new young class as well?

I think we are much better ... Don't know that I am willing to say "good" but I am feeling better now than I did after the thrashing a we took last season.

As for FLA, it doesn't matter if they're bad, unless Coach Jones has fixed some deeply ingrained issues with our team culture, we'll do our best to make the Gators' backup QB look like the second coming of Tim Tebow.

I like Coach Jones, and I am hopeful that he 'll have us ready to steal 1 or 2 of the tough ones in conference play.

Sometimes the other team is just better. I thought the Vols played damn hard. Very impressed with Worley's toughness. I'd like to see some of the posters here take the beating he did and still maintain poise.

Yep many times if worley would have just pulled the ball down and run we would have gotten crucial first downs and possibly scored.

I agree. I expected us to get throttled. I think those disappointed are probably the ones expecting to win. This team is tons better from last year. I first thought 6-6... now I wouldn't be surprised to see 7 wins.

Step back from the ledge folks. We get Von and Saulsberry back soon.

Im more realistic than anything truth be told in Norman if this team plays 10 we would win 3....... this game was closer then the score board shows also people forget what if Von and Wolfe play this game I know Von is good for one score Wolfe could have helped on the edge but with everybody we have coming back people will know rocky top we are seeing the potential mistakes here and there but they balled out it takes time with o-line it just does it was more busted assignments then anything game just has to slow down for the offense

should not see another pass all season IMO

should not even see the damn field.

North, Smith, Pearson, Malone and Howard. I know Coach Z wants a 9 WR rotation, but those are the 5 that can be counted on albeit to different extents.

I'm very proud on how our team progressed tonight. Sure, we got blown out but there's no quit in this team. Hell if Dooley was still coaching, it would have been a lot worse. We're a talented but a very young team. We're seeing improvement each game and we're going to be back on top soon. We just got to have a little patience. You can't expect a bunch of freshman to beat a more talented & more experienced Oklahoma team on the road. Also, whoever is bashing the players, the coaches, the team in general, needs a reality check. We're still rebuilding and we're not where we need to be right now but we WILL get there. No need to make yourself look like an complete idiot on Volnation. Be proud of your team and be proud that we're making process.

:lol: That is verbatim what I told my husband at one point. (Of course there were times I started hollering "JUST RUN!". Worley obviously didn't hear me.)
