More heart than I have seen in 15 years

Unhappy that we lost, but 100% agree. This football team looks so much better than last season!

We don't have depth. We don't have a great QB. But we played a very good football team (with a QB who could be on an NFL roster right now) with heart and energy. This is a totally different team and I'm buying into Heupel more and more.

Good example of one team having an experienced QB vs one that doesnt.Pitt didnt have the talent to keep up in most other positions.

And yes, the boys didnt quit. Defense got gassed at the end, expectedly and the INT killed it.

I still see the team improving, but they gotta clean up some penalties. Was a bit surprised at the discipline issues in 2nd qtr, even with our patchwork team.

But you'd be a fool to think this game was a gimme.

Heupels got a QB issue. His decision for this position will make or break his career at TN.

Right now, I hope we get Milton back, yep, Milton so he can get better. If Heupel can at least get him serviceable down the stretch. The back half of the season may look good.

BTW, the TN boys (im talking TN recruits, played well in this game) love it!

If it’s Milton moving forward this team will be lucky to beat anyone other then Vandy in the SEC. Milton has had three years in college to get better, yet he is still flat footed dropping back, lacks any touch on a pass, and literally watched a defensive lineman run right at him and did nothing, but fumble the football. After the first game where he struggled he came off as arrogant saying he can do it all, but his game play has revealed that was a lie.

I've seen a lot of heart over the last 15 years. I saw a lot of heart when Tennessee won at Auburn a few years ago. I saw heart when Tennessee played Alabama to a near stand-still in 2009. I saw heart when Tennessee rallied to beat Indiana in that bowl game a few years back.

Heart is not the issue. Heart has never been the issue.

Disagree. Less talent at UT since I don’t know 70s.

He made a few terrible decisions but i'll give him a chance.

Proud of how they played today! Hooker looks good! Bad play call with the freshman RB or we could be in overtime but that was a veteran team we lost to today!

Oh, it definitely has been an issue. You watch last season?

LOL. One thing that will never change about VolNation:

If even one thread is anything other than 100% negative following a loss, somebody will post "Moral Victory U." ... even when no one else has actually called it a moral victory.

Thanks.

And I havent even brought up the trophy ceremony for the Champions of Life yet.

The fact that they had like 13 penalties, 4 huge overthrows by Milton, -3 in turnovers and only lost by 7 points means they still played hard. Ton of stuff to fix but it’s fixable. However, if Milton starts again, Heupel can be fired after year 1 for all I care.

Edit: also a couple BS calls by refs. Should’ve had that kick 6 and first down.

This was on qb, we should been winning 21 to 0 in first quarter.....instead of gassing our defense. And qb play is just disgusting, toledo and division 2 teams have far better qb play than we do

Bad Qb play on team with a coach that was a qb. Get where this is going?

It was an issue in 2017, and from the 2nd half of the Kentucky game on last season. Having said that, the most important issues are instability and horrific play from the quarterback position.

Witch Doctor say its going to be a long time before we can talk championships, but liked with all they have been through, they didnt quit or give up. Witch say give JH 3 years and it may be a pretty good team, lets keep it real

Georgia sure has a lot of heart against UAB. It would be nice to have someone that could complete or even catch passes like that.

Just cheer for them. I know a lot of Dawgs fans. They’re an ok group. No pressure as a fan base, no real aggravation, some bragging rights…. Definitely a team for the weak hearted to cheer for.
