Profound.

Well, to compare them with us is profound, too. Let’s see what Heupel does next year. Pittman was 3-7 last year.

 

[jakez4ut]

For me it was the two drops by Evans and Callaway but missing that FG didn't help for sure.

It was the culmination of mistakes by players and coaches. Hard to pin it on one or two, because inevitably, another one was around the corner.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Missed FG at halftime changed this game

Not converting that 4th down and just 1-2 more plays would've changed a lot. Probably still a loss, but would've given us a shot.

Hope the whole state of Florida is 1k ft below the surface of the ocean when we all wake up in the morning.

After we rescue all the Vol fans down there first, then let it sink.

 

[butchna]

Hooker had almost identical stats with Emory…passing wise. Let’s not switch to the wishbone just yet.

 

[Geronimo]

Nope. Pitt was the tell. This team isn’t winning 7. 6 at best with 5 probably the most likely

I agree it should’ve been a win, but if we beat Missouri (Win #3), confidence builds and we win the remaining 3 we should (South Carolina, Vandy, S Alabama) and likely UK.

We lose to Missouri and we go 5-7.

 

[Exiled]

The missed FG changed momentum. The drops sealed our fate.

 

[utvolmaniac]

Top 3 plays that hurt us the most:

1. Calloway drop
2. McGrath missed FG
3. Baron injury

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

5-7 at best.

SC or Mizzou determines if we get to 5. We’ll def lose to one of those.

 

[Christian Lowe]

5-7 at best.

that's the ceiling with Milton, for sure. Hooker can get us to a bowl, i think. Does anyone even know what extent his injury is?

Arkansas, while terrible, was only terrible. They don't have the roster issues, the constant coaching turnover or an investigation hanging around their necks.

 

[JCP201]

Missed FG at halftime changed this game

and receivers not catching passes when wide open. Hooker is the quarterback. Hope he isn't hurt.

 

[VolMike16]

They did ok, but left huge holes in big spots. For being a defensive guru, Pruitt didnt bring in any pass rushers. He had one ok linebacker whos at another school and getting exposed. And nothing great behind the first 5 lineman.

The 1st 5 lineman aren't great. It's the hardest to project but mostly has been an abject failure up front. Multiple 4 and 5 star guys have been bad. That's multiple staffs. The guys that transferred are bad too. Eventually they have to step up

Concussion protocol I think.

They are in year two of a coach. We will sign a big class or take transfers. Pittman beat Pruitt last year- big deal.

Yes, but you have to have the bodies before your figure out who's good/bad. We dont have enough guys with the size to really judge.

I think those hoping for this class to flip things are going to be disappointed. It might be a big class, but it wont be super quality.

I don't think the two situations are comparable, that's all. Arkansas was just bad.

We're bad and then some...er..a lot actually.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Concussion protocol I think.

Then chalk up next week as a loss. USC, KY, USA and Vandy are winnable. But KY and USC could easily beat us too. We have 2 sure wins, 2 possible wins and 4 games that will be three hours of pain

 

[WTNVol2]

This is what I find myself saying after every loss. Unfortunately no one else cares. Everyone else just sees a blowout.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Arkansas is 4-0

 

[jakez4ut]

Arkansas is 4-0

 

[SpringBokVol]

That and the dropped 4th down pass.

And the overthrow in the second half after they scored.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Arkansas is 4-0

We’d beat A&M

 

[VolGee4]

I think those hoping for this class to flip things are going to be disappointed. It might be a big class, but it wont be super quality.

It will be good enough to make progress. It’s also all about the QB in this offense.
