I may have missed something, but why didn't we have safety help over the top on the last drive? Were they just late?

Because we were blitzing a lot all game and it worked. Sometimes you gotta trust your athletes. It seems our DC is much more comfortable doing so than our OC.

We have got to find away to get big plays out of the passing game. GOT TO!
throwing a few fades would be a start.

Again, I can't not mention how big The Josh (Smith & Malone) Brothers have been at WR. Proud to see them boys fight

Loss feels like UGA 2013 or 2014 to me. Butch is building something, dudes. It's refreshing to see a team get better under a coach instead of worse. We have been on a slow decline since 2001, and now we are on a slow incline.

Take the long view. If Butch keeps recruiting well, we ARE going to be a powerhouse again. I don't see any major coaching issues in recent games. We still just lack talent and depth in a few places. We are about one class away, maybe two to be 100%.

Let's go 9-4 with a bowl win.

Previous years the game was over by half time. This team is getting there. If you can't see the program is heading up then you are just a battered Vol or a blind idiot. I am thinking a batter Vol because you are better than an idiot. Now Catbone, just a pure unadulterated can of idiotville.

Every time we attack deep we have success. A more aggressive passing game on first downs would help in this area. Malone and Johnson made very good plays downfield. Where was Pearson? We need to get more guys involved to balance the offense out.

This has also been Bama's weakness

This thread should be funny. All of the cry babies from earlier in the week should be funny now. Team didn't just give it a try. We actually have a good team.

One of a few over here who gets it. We did this and did not need plus 3 turnovers. Few teams go in there and win and we can do it despite our injuries and our lack of 85 man depth. Recruits are seeing this and so is the nation and so do real Bama fans. This team will be competing for championships starting in 16. If you can't see it then too bad. It's great to be a Tennessee Vol!

Said this all week. We're missing big time players too(Tuttle, Croom, PWilliams, Howard). These guys would've helped a lot. Tuttle would've changed the game up front even more.

Actually Gary was extremely complimentary at the end of the game.

To me it sounded condescending. Every good play we had he made some excuse, we got away with a hold or something. They're Homers for the Bama's, Floridas and LSUs of the world. F' em

Very excited about the future of this program. Yea it was a loss and it hurts but we competed with mostly Freshman and Sophomore's and had a chance to win. Its one thing to play lousy an lose but they played their hearts out. And Martin is a much better CB.

Maybin was making plays and Danielson was loving him some Maybin. We start winning then they will be falling over our players. It's the way it is. They will build up the champions and we are about to be the ones they are all talking about.

Why are you all saying they played their hearts out like we shouldn't be on the field with that team? That wasn't a let down game. We were making plays for a reason. We have a very good football team that will keep improving. If you don't see the talent you all are blind.😒😒😒😒

Tuttle could may very well have been the difference. Guess you never know. Tough game. Wish we would have dropped Coker a few of those times we had him for 15 or 20 yard losses.

I heard that and quite frankly was floored by it. But, did you hear Vern's response?

SO saying they played their hearts translates to me saying that they didn't belong on the field? Putting words in my mouth aren't you. I was complimenting their efforts, not if they belonged on the same field.
