Uhh he did last year…. Picked up 1sts all over the place with his legs.

He had 22 yards. I hope he runs all over us again this year if that's all he ends up with.

Ugly wins are still good wins.

DC Banks - my goodness. Get to work on that mess we saw.

I do feel a bit sorry for him though when we have to play Solon Page.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Some of our fan base just loves to miserable.

It’s sad. We have a lot to be excited about right now. Imagine how tough to beat we’re going to be once we get better defensively.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Anybody bitching about how we got there needs to take a step back and look at the big picture. We are going to have the best regular season for a first year coach since 2009, and if we win a bowl game, the best first year record for a coach since Fulmer in 1993. The defense will get better when we get more players. Enjoy what this coaching staff has accomplished this year.

 

[Vols4us]

I hate playing them early every year.

Said it a million times. That is the primary reason we have such a sorry record against them.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

What a game but damn that was the worse announcers I've heard. If I have to here one more time about time of possession I'm gonna kill somebody. It's worse than a cbs broadcast.

That was, by far, the worst pair of commentators I've ever heard. The channel should be embarrassed about airing them on a broadcast together.

I hope I live a long life and never again have to hear Mowins nasally voice inflection or the dude having a nervous breakdown in the last minute of the game.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Hopefully we can run on S Alabama.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Not today wildcat

 

[zhangliao04]

He’s bummed for real. Not what he wanted.

He actually yelled “Boom!” on the air when UK made a big play that kept the chains going.

 

[drvenner]

This win is significant. First win in a one score game and toughed it out on the road in a very hostile environment. Could have folded after the fourth and 24 play but kept fighting. We won a game where we had the ball less than 15 minutes and did not force a punt. We found a way to get it done. That's a big deal. Makes me happy.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Perfect recruiting scenario….

Tennessee gets to show off a high powered offense, but then can make a “we need you to help us on defense” pitch.

It recruits both sides itself for sure.

Pretty good for a WR playing QB. Pretty dang good.

 

[sneakergawd]

I think any DC that brings 3 at any point needs to be questioned. Don't care what kind of talent you have. You are literally setting your team up for failure. His game plan tonight was the 1st time I've really questioned him. I know right now there are significant limitations but this was pathetic tonight

As i’ve always said…some of you guys will b*tch rather we win or lose. Enjoy the wins because we have been a team that has loss enough and specifically close games as such.

 

[Pridedad]

We allowed 42 points and 600 yards. Pathetic

yet we still won. If that happens last year we are boat raced at halftime. When we get a full slate of scholarship players we will be hard to handle.

 

[VolGee4]

One of the worst defensive performances in TN history and yet they made big plays when it mattered. End of half and a pick six.

Mizzou and Vandy in 2016 and the entire season in 2012 come to mind.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Winning is better. Our last coach was the defensive guru.

He still got trucked..... I like this staff. Yes we need to make progress in a lot of areas. But when you can score... you have a chance. We have not been blown out in any game we have played and they have been competitive. Say what you want about 4th qtr losses at Florida and Bama. But I am proud of this Team for all that they have accomplished this season despite being handicapped. We have been beaten, demoralized and talked sh1t about for far to long. We are actually mentioned as being hell on the offensive side of the ball on other broadcasts... Its positive and the culture, the perception is changing.

 

[drylo]

We won. Against a better version of the team that boatraced us last season.

At their place this time.

 

[Pridedad]

Do you really give a sh1t with a W

Some guys are always looking for a reason to b!tch.

 

[Orange Studs]

We won.

You would think after what this program has just gone through that we would be ecstatic about going into UK and beat number 18. In Hype's first year it looks like we are going 7-5. Everyone in here would have taken that in a heart beat. GBO!!

 

[Vols4us]

Missed a holding call the play before, in fact missed a ton of holding calls

On one run earlier in the game UK's line did standing tackles of three of our guys when they gained 15 yards up the middle. No call. I replayed it to make sure.

 

[SpringBokVol]

And Florida losing is great for two reasons - love when the gators lose and Beamer sticks around at USCe with a signature win.

 

[TheRain]

 

[nesbuddha66]

Vols win

 

[jakez4ut]

It’s sad. We have a lot to be excited about right now. Imagine how tough to beat we’re going to be once we get better defensively.

This.

Here's the takeaway... UK dominated the game.


Tennessee made a half dozen plays that won it.

Screw everything else. Winning is better than losing especially road SEC wins against top 20 opponents.
If you're mad after this game... That's a 'you' problem, not a Tennessee problem.
