Not so sure!!!!

[Voldawg1970]

We got lucky. They missed 3 fieldgoals amd played with a hurt quarterback. I really expected much more from our Vols. I am not convinced we have turned any corner.... Hopefully this was just a tough game. I worry about Florida and if we do not play consistent we may have a few more losses... keeping fingers crossed.

We got through it, and it certainly wasn’t pretty, but I’ll take it.

Plenty of areas to shore up for sure.

Got the monkey off the back. Look for more confidence from both the players and coaches. Texas am will be coming for CJH Lol.

We muffed a punt and had a punt blocked. Also we started really slow. See? I can make excuses too.

 

[JoAllan]

Ok

They got lucky to even be in the game.

Muff punt return
block kick
the fumble

Untimely penalties

It goes both ways.

Tennessee beat the 17th ranked team in their own house.

 

[OptimisticFan]

Shut up, nerd. We won the football game!

Pitt was a good team. A really good defense. Wasn’t pretty on Special Teams but that can get cleaned up. They showed themselves they can handle adversity on the road. That is growth in the right direction and I still think a good season is still in front of us

Who do you reckon knocked those quarterbacks out? Offense did play terrible, just my opinion, but nobody gave em that game. They earned the win.

 

[igotworms]

AND there were how many dropped tds?
But you're right

Only counts when its against the vols, , right?

And if we don’t muffed the punt or Wright doesnt fumble we most likely win in regulation. This was a defensive battle

Exactly. We physically beat their offensive line and quarterbacks up all game long. It's not like their QBs got hurt by the turf monster. We pounded them.

We’ll definitely lose a few more games. We don’t have an every down back, we’re offensively predictable, we telegraph to Tillman. We can’t cover big receivers or anyone on a slant. That said, we won. Banks is a good hire. We didn’t quit. Defense played courageously. Can’t see how we’ll stop Richardson, but we might get them to the fourth quarter close. If so, we have a shot. Bama is a loss. Georgia is a loss. We can win every other game. That’s pretty impressive momentum for year two.

I seriously think people are jumping to conclusions with FL. I get it they have our number but there defense wasn’t very impressive last week and they don’t have skill players like we do on offense.

 

[Volmac2022]

We fought hard and found a way to win. I'm not pleased with this game either and we definitely have a lot of things to clean up. However in the past we usually lose these types of games more often than not. With that being said I'm glad we won, showed our players we can win in hard games and let's clean it up for next week. GBO!!!

 

[screenthis]

I believe you're misreading the long game here. It's still a team learning how to win and take a step forward. Going in to a ranked Pitt and winning is a very good step forward.

 

[rocky top buzz]

I want to preface this by saying I am not calling for UT to win a natty this year. The commentators pointed out this was the first game UT has played in the northeast since Syracuse 1998. Yall who are older than me me will remember that was a tight game against a scrappy big east team similar to Pitt nowadays, that UT could have easily lost, but UT won all the rest. Something about going out of your comfort zone can bring sloppy play. Not sure what happens the rest of this season but all I can say is it's better to win ugly than to be A&M or Notre Lame.

 

[VOLtaism]

The offensive line could not get any push or create lanes for the runners, their pass protection was none existent, other than they they played great. Hooker was not given time and most of his throws were rushed.

 

[KnoxToTheBoro93]

26 Qb pressures and some of y’all was complaining about no sacks… and Tillman actually had a below avg game even with his big stats…if he catches a few more we win in regulation with ease… either way I’m glad we got the Win every game won’t be pretty… just win baby GBO

 

[joevol33]

The objective is to win. Was it ugly? Yes, but even it seeming like the offense was off, they kept it going and won.

 

[allvol123]

We played terrible special teams and offense(second half) and won the game.

That’s a much better week to build off than a loss.

Focus has got to be better. Some better focus and we win by 14.

 

[American_PitVol]

A WIN IS A WIN!!! I just tackled my neighbor. He said he won’t press charges because he heard me through the walls and should have had his head on a swivel when he came outside. WOOOOOOO

Had nothing to do with luck. Stop trying to downplay what this team did. Get that luck crap out of here. Nobody is saying we turned the corner. This team was tested big time and showed up to play when it counted.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

I’m not phoning in the loss. Our D doesn’t handle running QB’s well. If we stay in it late, we’ll have a shot.

 

[volfan411]

TIllman dropped at least on TD pass to seal the win. I can make excuses as well.
