[LA Vol]

Too many times. Just. too. many. times.

 

[Catbone]

We have led in every 4th qr except Arky and we are 3-4 lol

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

I think we got our 4 minute offense and our two minute off se confused today

 

[govols09]

Hate losing but am darn proud of this team

 

[unioncityvol]

9-4 (5-3) with the worst loss being by 5 to Bama is a damn good year after the last 7 years of no more than 7 wins and multiple ass whippings. This one stings but we fought like hell and now we are about to string together some ass whippings of our own.

Go Vols!

Hard to throw downfield with no pass protection

 

[Gilbert]

No excuse to not win out.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

So we don't have any plays that can feature some misdirection to slow down the pass rush or get the ball out quick to a playmaker in space?

 

[vol4eva]

Honestly, I'm not even mad at the coaches. Medley killed us today, and Bama made the two plays they needed on the final drive to win. Martin and Sutton were there, but failed to make the play.

Now go win out.

 

[Dooby15]

Other than Medley hard to complain about anything. 2 true freshman on the offensive line against a NFL front seven and we out rushed them. And had the ball at the end with a TD to win. Hats off to Butch and the team. Now go win out.

Agreed. While I don't feel great, it's the best I've felt after a loss since probably Georgia 2013. Butch has closed the gap on all our rivals now. Just need to get some more wins against them now.

Let's win out boys!

 

[volssam]

Lol at you Vegas.

We are good. We are done getting manhandled and blown out. Just gotta figure out how to win close ones

I agree. But we are still 2-3 recruiting classes and 2-3 coaches away from beating the likes of Bama.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

I wanna see Evan Berry get some snaps on offense.

 

[VolinArizona]

I agree. But we are still 2-3 recruiting classes and 2-3 coaches away from beating the likes of Bama.

Lol no

 

[Neyland2nd2none]

4 losses by total of 17 points.

Sucks but hard to be upset with the way this team has fought. Especially with all the injuries.

It's on next year. Team 120 will be title contenders.

 

[chavisut]

I agree. But we are still 2-3 recruiting classes and 2-3 coaches away from beating the likes of Bama.

The talent and experience is there to match them next year.

 

[LA Vol]

I just don't see how beating up on the SECE cellar dwellers and a homecoming cupcake is supposed to compensate for dropping another winnable game to a bitter rival late in the 4th. Yeah, it was close... but 0-10.

 

[UTCVol]

Watching Mizzou/Vandy, UK is the best team left on our schedule and the only one I can even conceive of us dropping.

8-4 and a bowl game against a slow Big Ten team looks pretty good.

 

[VolGee4]

I agree. But we are still 2-3 recruiting classes and 2-3 coaches away from beating the likes of Bama.

Stop it. This game showed we can hang with them. Just need more experience on the OL and another couple of playmakers on defense.

And a kicker

Maybe 1st string but depth is still a huge problem. We won't be able to overcome the inevitable injuries. Bama is 3 deep with 4 and 5 stars at virtually every position.

 

[InVOLuntary]

We'll see.

 

[Catbone]

So after today's performance, anything less than 8-4 is not acceptable.

I thought you said we would be 6-6 or 7-5.
