2000 and 2006 where we played it too safe and allowed the referees to impact the outcome of the game. We outplayed you in both games and wound up just a bit short.
I think they will say two things. First, clearly Florida is lacking in offense and that the defensive secondary got exposed. Second, it takes time for a new head coach to install a new system and Jones is making good progress. Just give him a couple good recruiting classes to shore up the areas where the Vols need help and they will be back at the top of the SEC.
Of course they will say "its a result of FL's poor play."....Heck, during halftime of the Western KY game, all Kevin Carter did was talk about our lack of offensive yards!!
And he was correct! UT, offensively, wasn't impressive at all during the WKU game but all most UT fans did was focus on the worst 5 plays in college history. That wasn't normal. That was a fluke.
Last week no one wanted to hear about UT's problems. Then when they get hammered everyone wants to panic.
Back to the OP, who cares? What difference does it make? The entire sports world could praise the Vols. ESPN could run it as their lead story. And people on here would still complain.
fair enough...Our O was not great...But, statistically, we had short field the entire 1st half, and defensive td's, less time of possession, etc....Which typically leads to less yards...so i didn't really see Carter's point in worrying about the lack of offensive yardage under the given conditions....
I bet Texas would offer Saban 10 million if that was what it took to get Him.
