[RiseToTheTop]

I think this is a 7 win team.

Vandy and UK certainly look better

 

[UTK]

This second half is the most important half in coaches career. A loss at home to a lame duck coach could be program collapsing bad, I don’t think that’s an exaggeration.

 

[ENGRVOL]

We are halfway through the season and we have a defense that hasn’t allowed a first half td. Pretty impressive. Really hope they don’t run out of gas in the 2nd half

 

[GoodTimeVol]

He would win a Heisman at UGA

Ehh don’t know about that

 

[InVOLuntary]

Napier is a Goof. lmao how did he get the florida job ?

Pruittish

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

He has the tools. Also I believe he continues to learn. Yes he absolutely has to be better, but I also don’t believe what we have behind him would be performing better.

I say try the #2 out, what is the harm at this point? We haven’t scored in two quarters. They are literally stacking the box and asking us to throw it.

 

[UTK]

How the heck did we score 25 vs OU?

Nico actually hit the couple deep shots that were there. He missed them last game and this game kid needs to find it again real quick

 

[vol4eva]

If Nico can’t generate some points in the first couple drives, you have to bench him right?

 

[SSVol]

POTS is doing great. So there is that.

 

[Midas]

Even if we win what sort of confidence/expectations are there for the rest of the year?

I mean we can forget about the playoff talk

Yeah probably. The smart thing to do would be to turn it off but I can never do it for some reason. I love this team too much no matter how toxic it has been for me during my 30 years of life smh.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Two games in a row with 0 first half points. Wtf has happened

 

[TrippieRedd]

I definitely feel like Gaston would at least take off and run more.

Overall, don’t think it would be better.

Having the tools simply isn’t enough.

The OL has played like dog****, but the frustrating part is even if they had I haven’t seen anything from Nico to believe it would make a difference. Even when he had time he was overthrowing, missing reads, and throwing pics. Nico isn’t it, so you just keep him out there and lose?

 

[UTK]

I understand why the crowd would be flat right now and unsettled but they need to bring it next half. UF shouldn’t be able to hear a damn thing

 

[TheBigOne10]

This is pretty deflating at the moment

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I miss having a trash defense and elite offense if we’re going to be this mediocre because that is at least fun to watch. This is just painful.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Nico isn't getting benched.
Moore belongs at Coastal Carolina and Merk isn't ready.
Just gotta hope the lumps are worth it for the future.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

There is a spectrum of playcalling with run it up the middle on one end and statue of liberty on the other. Somewhere in the middle, like a screen or outside run, would be adequate. Something other than what the DL is clearly expecting.

The issue is we have no passing offense to free up the run. The passing game is a non-threat.

 

[headhunter15]

Agreed, however, the potential long term ramifications of that have to be taken into account.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

It's mystifying.

Not a single person on earth expected these struggles on offense.

Year 4 and getting out coached by Billy Napier? I don’t even know what to say. I mean…

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Don’t worry next year will be our year

Might as well go ahead and say it. I’m ready for basketball and baseball.

No qb looks good when they're rattled by a bad ol. Moore would be no different.

The lumps aren’t worth it for my health. Try something else.

Who cares what anyone’s expectations are? We all get to watch and see what happens.
