Uga looks completely unprepared. Still very early, but thry look lost. Hopefully this will be the norm under Smart.

On that long run Hurd had in the 4th, the radio call was that he was hemmed in the back field. But the replay was interesting. They all moved as a unit to the area where Hurd cut up field.

I am not really sure I have seen a line move quite that way. Any insight about this around here?

I love Butch Jones. I think he's turned out to be a great hire for this University. He took over a program on life support. You can debate whether any other coach could have done better than Butch but you could never win that argument. He's done everything that could have been ask of him.

Everyone in every aspect of life has a ceiling. Manning, Jordan, Bolt, Tiger, all have ceilings as do we in everyday life in our jobs and careers. Only question left to ask is what is Butch's ceiling? Are we currently witnessing Butch's ceiling or does he have more to show us? Only time will tell. As a Vol fan, I'm pulling for him. I think he's genuinely a great guy and us driven to be the best. I'm glad he's our coach.

He has done pretty good. I'm not debating that. But there are coaches out there like Petrino, Fuente, or Hermann for instance that could possibly have done better. There is no way to prove either side of that argument. He is a great guy. Bottom line though is wins. That is what he is paid to do, win. This season will tell us a lot. We will know a lot more in 4 or 5 weeks. We will probably all love him or be very split on him by then. CBJ is in my opinion trying to do it and do it right. I am a huge Tennessee fan and have been forever. I want him to succeed as much as anyone on here does. I didn't like it when they got rid of Bill Battle, and I was not sure about the change from Majors to Fulmer. I like stability. We must compete for the East and get back to beating Florida and Georgia consistently and Alabama occasionally until Saban is gone. Todays game was not impressive and the injuries should not be an excuse going forward. Everyone has injuries. He has had enough time to get the players he wants here and we all acknowledge he is a wonderful recruiter and talent evaluator. Has he coached them up? The line does not look that great. I sure wish they had kept Pittman. If they had I believe we would have a better team today. We are weak in depth at LB. That's on CBJ. Now we are facing our toughest part of the schedule without several of our better starters and frankly I do not think we have jelled yet and are still undisciplined at times. We put the ball on the ground a lot and that can easily beat you. Thank goodness we have recovered most of them in the first three games. I attribute the recoveries to good coaching in that area. But the ball shouldn't be on the ground that much to begin with. Hopefully we show up and play well next week.
