[Jackcrevol]

Im jellie. Mine arent quite ready.

Maybe im not ready.

I don’t understand how anyone can feel ok about the win today. We’ve regressed back to bajakian play calling for the offense. It’s screen, run, home run throw in any order. We put up numbers because we outclassed that team by talent alone and they knew it coming into the game. They hit us in the mouth a bit and Joe Milton goes from 12/14 to 18/31 without a completion for over 13 mins of game time. The lack of confidence in our offenses execution has got to be obvious by now, right? The offensive line isn’t helping anyone right now. The defense is bad against athletes of even similar competition. DBs are a huge liability and Willie Martinez being a problem is not a new thing for us. I don’t think anyone is saying forfeit the season. But, to say that the deficiencies and uncharacteristic issues in execution, esp after being hit in the mouth, are not glaring would be criminal. There’s no creativity in this offense right now and we all know that isn’t Heup’s style. Anyone that is confident about this team heading into any SEC game at this point is either blind or kidding themselves. Idk what the problem is, but it’s not because Heup forgot how to coordinate an offense. Sampson not being utilized is criminal. Today should have been a glorified scrimmage for us to get our back ups some much needed experience but we refused to take advantage of that. I’m a huge fan of Josh Heupel but I think he has a LOT to learn about team management.

SC's offense is gonna be a challenge for our defense.

But we just won big over UTSA.

 

[volsagain]

Are we allowed to celebrate this win and be happy or...?

Yes always yes

 

[TennTakedown]

Either step away from the ledge or do a flip

You honestly happy with this team? Lol. Is it a crime to see that we’re gonna have a rough year unless something changes significantly? It’s not even a stretch to say so. The blind fandom is exactly what everyone makes fun of our fanbase for. It’s ok to be realistic occasionally.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Legette is going to be a big problem for our CBs

I’m sure we will give him a nice soft zone to work in.

 

[Weezer]

Too many FF posters in the RF.

 

[BigSteve09]

Y'all watching ND/OSU?

I will say these 4K channels on YTTV are fantastic

Maybe you're just in the wrong forum .

We're the VN RF and we'll pump sunshine up your butt all day long

14-1

GBO

 

[TheMookieMonster]

UCONN and Vandy are the only ones I really feel confident about. Not saying they’re the only ones the Vols will win, but it’s going to be tough sledding.

Have you watched the rest of the SEC play? Our fans act like every other team is flawless. Again, I’m not saying we don’t have things to fix but the rate at which this fanbase has turned on this team and coaching staff after ONE good season is pathetic. You’d think 11-2 and an Orange Bowl would earn a little goodwill from a fanbase that spent 15 years in misery but apparently not. It’s ridiculous.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Lol saying they could potentially upset us is a joke and you know that.

So you're saying people didn't claim that all year long? You know they did. We more than covered the spread and could've scored 1-2 more TD's. There was much much more positive than negative in this game.

 

[TheRain]

The Cock's get a lot more respect in here then I would give them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My goodwill is far from burned. I don’t want anyone fired and I’m not particularly mad. I just don’t think we’ve looked that much better than most of our opponents.

Only thing I’m concerned with is injuries. It was a good win. Preseason I was definitely more worried about UTSA than UVA.

 

[csprig9]

I’m sure we will give him a nice soft zone to work in.

Lol
That would be to tight of coverage
We will probably put number 2 on him so he can attempt to be within 12-15 yards of him

We're not great but we're not as bad as you're making out. If we get key starters back we can make some noise. But 3-4 losses is likely, which was always in the cards this year. Sorry if you got your hopes too high and are now upset that we're not gonna win a title this year. But, yes, I'm happy with today's effort.

Who dis? Go drunk your home.

 

[Orange_Crush]

I went to a bar in Denver to watch the game with other Vol fans and weirdly none of them called me a beta male or got combative. I forgot how much VN lives terminally online. Great win! Enjoy the rest of your weekend with people that love you.

They're not going out on a limb like that unless you're wearing a t-shirt with your preferred pronouns.

We haven’t. Again, I’m not saying we look amazing. I’m just saying the reactions by this fanbase have been wild. Its just amazing how quickly we forget how bad this team was when we hired Heupel and we’ve tasted some success and now we think we’re Alabama.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I'll be there with the wife. You going to vol club tailgate? I'd like to see what some of you mugs look like in person. Ha!

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Rattler will destroy our secondary.

 

[Gilbert]

Rattler will destroy our secondary.

It’s certainly going to be a challenge. Best QB in the SEC right now.

 

[Orange Studs]

I think its the lack of confidence in our secondary. I'm not saying that USCe is going to win but I would feel a lot more confident about it if we had a decent secondary. They seem to can't cover nor tackle. I loved the way we came out today on Offense and the defense was clicking for a bit and then half time came and its like they lost all mental focus.

Utah 14
UCLA 7

Utah bringing football back 50 years without Rising

Well all I know is any team that can hold a Chip Kelly coached team to 7 points...has to be pretty good....

 

[volinbama256]

Rattler will destroy our secondary.

Absolutely unfortunately... but plenty on here choose the ignorance is bliss stance. Dreading that game.
