Am I the only one who feels like I didn’t learn a thing from watching our game tonight?

Offense needs to develop more of a rhythm. They played fine, but you could see they weren't clicking on all cylinders yet. Lots of things to clean up on defense. Very concerning that we had no sacks. Not a fan of giving the receivers cushion on third down.

As well as we played, it felt like something was lacking. I'm thinking they need to ratchet up the intensity to 11.

Not a bad way to kick off a Heisman run.

Also forgot to mention they had that clogging guy on the Jumbotron dancing to Rocky Top

Prettiest play in the game was Milton to Holiday.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I learned our oline may be better than I thought. They played well together.

I like that we really didn't show much with our 1st team offense except runs and screen passes. Didn't give a whole lot of film to Pitt to prepare. Also there were several times we came close to getting a sack but the Ball State qb was actually pretty good at getting it out of his hand quickly.

I dislike Purdue. Anyone notice how they were playing "don't stop believing" when Penn State took the lead?

Unbelievable levels of cringe

I dislike Purdue. I hate Penn St

 

[drvenner]

Purdue’s coach is an idiot……
Run the freaking ball and take some time off the clock. My God!

*Tennessee's coach, Hyams probably

We kept it pretty vanilla tonight on both sides of the ball. I suspect we see more of what we’ll be next Saturday. I know coaches have mentioned we’ll be playing different coverages vs last year we were mostly zone based with some man mixed in. Think we’ll see more man and combo coverages so there’s more of a balance.

Only thing that worries me is that Vandy scored more points than us and there D also only allowed 10 pts. . .

They’re for real, spread the word.

Anyone notice after Milton's run with 5 minutes left in the third, the ball boy is frantically point to the field and screaming at Milton to get up and run back to the formation?

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Yes it does!

I just need Fresno State, Arizona State and San Jose State to win and I uh pee myself a lil

Hallelujah! My accidental bet pays off! Wooooo!

 

[delfonic]

The biggest takeaway tonight is that they kept things completely vanilla on offense and defense and won 59-10.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Ya know who played pretty darn well?

Aaron Beasley

 

[BigOrange15]

I'm surprised (but only slightly) at the amount of crying going on in the FF about Pitt. Sure, they looked better than I expected considering what they lost but I don't think they are better than last year and you could argue we should have won that game. If our defense can even half way show up, we should win because I doubt they can consistently stop our offense. QB pressure both ways will be the key imo.

[BigOrange15]

Also, I'm not too worried about the pass rush just based on that game. They were getting it out fairly quick and we weren't exactly dialing up exotic blitzes. Remains to be seen imo

[JCP201]

You have to wonder if he might do better in the NFL. He has all the components of being a great quarterback-- just needs touch.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Walker Merrill pulled a beautiful double move where he was CLEARLY held. I thought that was going to be a beautiful touchdown pass. Maybe next week...

 

[Adam2014]

Fahr CJH because we gave up 7 points and didn't get any sacks.
