Some of you guys need to put down the Orange Kool Aid. OU had 455 yards and 6.8 yards per play. That is considered lights out? Let's be real. While Jancek/Martinez aren't the absolute abomination that is Bajakian, they are pretty bad.

Bajakian is a very good coordinator. Most of those yards were on a couple of plays. And most of their points came from horrible field position caused by our god awful punter.

The defense held one of the best teams in football to 3 for 12 on 3rd down. I was highly impressed.

Wrong. They got whipped but the Vols had chances. Running the ball would have cut it to 10 points. I liked the play call to the corner but he had Croom there and not North. Very costly irrational decisions plain and simple......

Could have easily been a 27-24 game and should have been

Croomster is a big weapon....kid needs to step up and make a damn play. Baj had the right match up and Worley made a beautiful pass. His time to step up and catch the damn ball....it is just that simple.

Bajakian is a terrible coordinator. If Butch doesn't make changes on his staff he will never make it in this conference.

The defense will keep us in some big games this season. I 100% believe our Vols will make a bowl game this year, and the defense will be a big part of that.

We will beat Florida, UT Chattanooga, Kentucky, Missouri, and Vandy. We will also win one of the three from Georgia... their defensive backs are terrible, Alabama... Kiffin motivates UT or Mississippi not sold on them.

You can rest assured Tennessee will be in a bowl game this year.

I completely agree with this. We played well tonight. We were a couple of breaks away from making a heck of game out of this tonight.

Bajakian is not a good coordinator by any stretch of the imagination.

We didn't watch the same game.

Yes. The D played very respectable tonight, especially since they got such little help from the offense.

I was proud of their effort to keep us in the ball game tonight. I expected OU to roll over this D and wear them out but it didn't happen. I was pleasantly surprised.

These kids will not be phased by this. This staff will use this to motivate them to raise HELL in the SEC! Very proud of them all and these kids are hungry for Bowl Season!

Simple. His body of work so far. Other than being a family member or a friend, what would give you any reason to say that he is a good coordinator?

He's done well every where he's been. Despite our young offensive line and being completely outmatched up front, he was able to scheme up some nice stuff. We completed a lot of 3rd and longs. And if Croom doesn't drop an easy pass, we probable would have made a game out of it tonight.

So we came in with 5 freshmen starters on offense, and actually moved the ball fairly well. We just have to finish drives next week.

We very well may finish 2nd in the east this season.

Keep in mind that 6 of the points OU scored were field goals, and both of them were under 30 yards, meaning we made 2 really tough stops. We blocked another, which was awesome.

And then 7 points didn't have anything to do with the D at all. 13 points that were the results of either a D stop, or the interception return. Subtract those and it's 21-10.

Croom catches that TD, it's 21-17.

That fumble goes our way, who knows?

But if course, if a wish was a fifth, we'd all be drunk.

Fact is, D played well, and kept it from being worse than it could have been.

Everyone talks about the promise of the offense....but I think the defense has just as much promise, if not more.

Our D is going to keep us in a lot of games this year.

And that was a fumble. Horrible call.

I agree with you completely though. Anyone who is panicking right now is crazy.
