Lolololol...wth

Folks acting like we're Arkansas and yet we're 7-3

Sack up boys.

Was a joke, so dont get too emotional with me

Joe Milton is your problem and has been all year.

AP and Hubbs have said as much all year and everyone just covers their ears and doesn’t care.

As much as I want to agree with you, Joe Milton didn’t give up 300 yards to a DIVISION TWO RUNNING BACK LOL

Heup had to change his entire offense because he knew Milton was limited. Should have just rode with Nico and now Nico will be starting and have nothing but about 20 snaps under his belt. What could go wrong next year ?

In our 7 last conference games (excluding Vandy) we are 1-6 and been outscored by 87 points.

That is not correct.

UT had a 13 point lead on the road @ Bama with Joe playing great. Joe was 12-13 tonight with 166 yards at half. But yea we’d be putting up 40 a game without him

Lots to work on in the off season

 

[BJHSVol]

The inability to show up for any type of road game is on coaching period. We need some serious self scouting going into next year.

Having a step back and going 8-4 isn’t an issue, but showing an inability to play up to any ability on the road is

 

[mrMet]

Why would he be doing that while trying to get away from the guy???

Hell I don’t know dude. But he was doing it lol idk what you want me to say about it but it was legit face mask call

What did he do in the second half of those games?

Road games, maybe?

That’s not right…

Well, you win some and lose some. This is disappointing, but future is still bright. We have come a long way since Pruitt. Need to get better on O-line and upgrade at DC. If UGA drills us then Banks is gone

 

[tnvols72]

Was Banks responsible for us scoring 7 points??

no but he was responsible for about 545 yards that he gave up mostly to 1 player. Show me a decent team that Banks has shutdown

 

[engineerVOL]

I’m not pointing a finger at Joe. He has improved. I’m disheartened by our WR corps. They are lacking due to experience and injuries.

Filling run gaps on defense should be number one lol

Incorrect

 

[Adam Sandler]

I can’t stand when we make bad teams look good. Uninspiring to say the least.

 

[KptVFL]

We got owned. End of story. Dominated. It wasn’t because of holding. It was because we got owned man to man

Totally agree! We scored 7 points! 7!!!!!!

Will never win a game like that!

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

As much as I want to agree with you, Joe Milton didn’t give up 300 yards to a DIVISION TWO RUNNING BACK LOL

He also scored 7 points on a team that gave up 63 last year.

I’m still enjoying the Josh Heupel era of Tennessee football. He’s stabilized the program, and we have won more than we lost. All that said, it’s basically the end of year 3 now, we’re going to lose to Georgia, we’re going to finish 8-4 and there are some serious red flags and trends emerging that I think warrant some real concern and aren’t overreactions.

1) Josh Heupel is now 1-10 when trailing at half. Clear evidence that he is terrible at making halftime adjustments. He gets his ass kicked in basically every 2nd half he plays against a team with a pulse. I don’t even know how you improve that in Year 6 as a head coach.

2) Josh Heupel is now 3-7 on the road against teams not named Vandy or Kentucky. Not only do we lose games, we look like trash on the road, lifeless, and like a team with no real plan. You can’t win championships being that bad on the road. Relatively, we have now pissed down our leg twice against two mediocre football teams in South Carolina and Missouri in back to back years in games with a lot on the line.

3) Our defense continues to be terrible. Outside of the defensive line, not a single unit on the defense has improved in 3 years. Heads need to roll. 350 scrimmage yards for their RB. Just awful. Can’t tackle. Can’t cover.

4) Undisciplined. Yes, the other teams should also be called for flags, but we do commit a lot of dumb and poorly timed penalties. And I’m not talking about this game as the prime example, it’s been all year.

I’m not calling for Heupel’s head. Far from it. But it’s hard to feel really good about this program right now when all of those points I just listed are glaring issues and pervasive in the program. I mean 1-10 when trailing…..that’s not good coaching.

He's the best back in the SEC.

It's like other teams calling Dalton Knecht a D2 player this year when he's in the running for SEC POY.

Give credit where credit is due.

Still doesn't excuse the horrid linebacker play (especially 44) or the complete lack of holding calls on Mizzou.

Just a perfect storm tonight.

He isnt the only problem, but AP and Hubbs are not football experts FWIW

 

[Devo182]

They will pay for this. Mark that down.

Nico and crew puttin up 70 next year in Neyland

Not to rush this season, but being in the 2024 playoffs is going to be something else.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Man I’m so thankful we have an offensive savant as a coach that can muster up 7 points against Missouri.

Enormous red flag tonight. Year 3 and getting your absolute ass kicked again on the road. Despicable

 

[tnvols72]

Its not all on Joe but Joe was never going to be the answer for this team. He does not have it between the ears and he has no touch and seems like every short pass has to be 100 mph.
