The running game potential with Hooker and healty Evans and Small has me intrigued. Hooker might be the path to a bowl game. I think he probably wins and loses the ones hes supposed to.

I think Milton could beat or lose to anybody given his mental makeup that day. Riskier but your ceiling is higher.

We should have beat Pitt. Anyone arguing that doesn’t know football. We were up 10-0 early. Missed wide open throws for TDs. Not good.

You are contradicting yourself. You’re basically saying our scheme and gameplan was there & the players just didn’t execute it.

And for the record, I agree with you.

Hooker intrigued me so much because we could develop a into a scrappy annoying offense like a couple of the recent Kentucky teams. Just go all on QB run game and get really creative with it.

I'm telling you, what I saw today in person, they would have pinned their ears back and punished him. He's the least mobile of our qb's. They got Milton hurt and Milton's more mobile.

I like Miltons arm but man…. If he can’t hit those open guys…. Ugh. You could tell however that Pitt played differently on defense when Hooker was in. They didn’t have to worry about the deep ball anymore.

Arkansas, northwest region. You?

You're right, you couldn't do spot of foul because there were two different ones. Just seems like the return would be negated, possession goes to Tennessee at the original line of scrimmage. But it's a muddy one for sure.

I think Pitt is better than some people gave them credit for. UK Vandy USC Mizzou Ole Miss are definitely winnable, though UK looks better than I thought and Ole Miss will be good.

Pitt is a solid team and we took them to what should've been OT with our B-team. That ain't too bad despite our QB woes.

Folks need to realize where we are right now. We are not the Majors or Fulmer teams of the late 80s through the early 00s. We are low down and everyone is going to keep on kicking us because they lose if we rise. We are bereft of talent compared to the past and Bama/UGA's current talent pool but we still have a history and a brand to sell and we can get better in a hurry with the right coach and a few key players (even Jones managed to put together a terrifying team that could've gone very far had he been a better game day coach) but it takes the right combo. You judge a team by where they are and what they are facing. Did they play to their own talent level etc? You don't judge them by a bar that is impossible for them to reach -- Fulmer's teams were basically NFL teams at damn near every position (including special teams).

People are correct to dog the team for the dumb penalties because that's something they control but wrong to dog them for lacking talent. That isn't their fault. We have what we have.

I think this team can reach a bowl but I don't know if they will. If they can keep the offense going and put up good showings Heupel will be able to recruit. This is a great place with more advantages than most. It simply needs a spark. Jones found that spark but he couldn't manage it under pressure. Heupel seems pretty even keeled. I think he can handle the pressure if he ever gets the talent here. I'm more worried about whether or not he can recruit.

Things aren't nearly as dark as people think but we have a long road ahead of us.

I thought the same thing, but it almost looked like a give all the way.

I thought the game plan and play calling was pretty good all day, except for that play.

The qb was out only run game all day. So when it mattered most we didn’t give it to our best playmaker on the filed. Just don’t get it. But that’s what it’s been the last 13 years so you’d think I’d be used to it

Can't believe we tried the one thing that hadn't worked at all the entire day (other than deep ball but it was red zone)

I think it’s crazy the same people that said we were going to get drug by Pitt (which we didn’t) are the same ones saying we suck lol 😂

We should have won that game and we didn’t our guys played hard. I think we out played expectations.

Calm down guys. We are one playmaker at QB from being capable of playing with anyone. Dobbs on this team would be scary even with all the other attrition we’ve had.

A lot of teams are 1 qb1 from being legit. If you can’t beat Pitt how far are you from a SEC contender
