Here comes the blame game. Good night.

 

[LA Vol]

Tough to win close games without a FG kicker. It's the missing piece of the puzzle.

 

[JCP201]

I love this team. We have been in every game in the last play.. Nobody can say they blew us out.

 

[VolGee4]

Until the end when he set Dobbs back there like a freakin' statue. We had success getting Dobbs on the edge with a run pass option and he totally went away from it. He's way over his head.

I disagree. Dobbs hit big plays with straight drop backs. Unfortunately, it's a true freshman tackle. We had positive yards on first down and had a penalty. Tough spot. I thought play calling was much better and pretty darn good.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

He missed earlier in the game

We were up 27-14 in the 4th qt. Defense fell apart. No Medley did not blow that game.

 

[theutvolunteers]

Defense played a magnificent game. No Phillips, Gaulden, Tuttle, or Maggitt and they put their offense in a position to win the game.

Can't be happy with the offensive play-calling, though. Two or three decent series called isn't enough.

Completely disagree.

 

[The Breakerboy]

Damn man. This close.
Guys made plays today

Cam & Justin were where they needed to be... Excited for Justin tho

I wish we had that first down back. Gotta come out throwing. The go ahead drive, 2 successful passes on 1st down.

Calling a run down 5 vs Bama with 2 timeouts knowing u need 6 is a head scratcher

The CBs will be fine. Secondary was fine today. Martin changes the whole defense when he's in. Two good CBs make a defense very aggressive.

 

[nashvol1]

Except against Georgia.

Be proud of this team. They sure have more balls than this gutless fanbase.

I get what you are saying but 1 of 5 when it mattered. Very proud of our teams effort and will not give up on them...just stating facts

 

[DeekT]

Points from 3 missed FGs sure would have helped, jmo

We had one last year. Freshman named Medley. What happened to him?

 

[Atzar]

And out come the people who think they have all of the answers.


Keep your heads high, boys. You fought hard. Take it out on Kentucky next week.

Go Vols.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Dobbs torched them from the pocket on the drive prior. Didn't hear you complaining then.

I get it, your good with Dobbs as a straight drop back passer. I happen to believe that is not his strength.

 

[VolGee4]

2 touchdowns from passes never thrown. Josh Smith was open in the corner on Dobbs first sack and Malone open on the pass that Ethan stepped out of bounds on

Hurd was wide open after his chip block on the second to last sack. He had 10-15 yards open ahead of him.

Hall played well all night. Left side of OL was worse overall, so I don't fault jack and hall, but freshmen will screw up some in their first road start.

Glad to see Butch growing out of that small ball stuff from UF and OU game. If we play like this we win out.

 

[LaagerVol]

This hurts but im not gonna hang my head.

I dont care what anyone says, we have a good young team. We get better and more confident each week. Players and coaches arent perfect but we are getting much better. Its coming, just wait for it.

 

[volfanCLT]

Dobbs throwing from the pocket on the last TD drive = rah rah go team!

Dobbs throwing from the pocket where our freshmen RT gets burned and causes a fumble = fahr everyone!!!!

 

[appyvol]

When no one thought we would, we went into the pits of hell and fought like no one thought we would. Proud to be a Tennessee Vol and GBMFO.

 

[Catbone]

No injuries today right? I didn't see anyone. Plus we beat the spread. Mission accomplished.

 

[VolGee4]

You can't just roll him out every pass play. You take away half the field.

 

[The Breakerboy]

People not happy with the play calls need to realize that was a good defense. Another thing was the refs were starting us off with 1st and 15-20s. That kills an offense.

True...he has not been good regardless

Other team made a play. Our fans are crazy....

Yep. Like I said earlier it is easy to say it's good when it's working. Everyone always says stick with what is working. We did. They beat it.

I thought Debord mixed things up well.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I love seeing the people who were predicting us to get skull drug coming in here after the game making sarcastic "Moral Victory U" posts. Give me a break.

 

[JCP201]

yeah, seems like we got out of there with big respect and no visible injuries.
