Agree somewhat but second half conservative play calling has bit us this year too. Ok against Mizzou but not against a team with a good offense.

I'll agree completely with that.

 

[SeanJean]

The 19,308 fans at Memorial Stadium are really going to miss Pinkel.

 

[NMVol]

We haven't beaten Mizzou since they entered the SEC. This is a big watershed win.

Edit: On the road against a legendary coach coaching his last game.

8 points given up in 8 quarters???? I'll take it defense!!!!

DL was nasty. I love what Vereen has done in place of Maggitt.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Kinda sad seeing Pinkel get carried off the field in front of practically empty stands.

Butch doesn't trust Dobbs to throw in the 4th qtr at all, wish we would hit the te over the middle in the 1st 3 quarters tho

This is it. We really like our QB but we really don't trust him unless necessary...necessary meaning we are trailing

 

[SpringBokVol]

This was an easy win.

On the road.

In the SEC.

I'll take that all day.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I don't give a crap what that freakin quitter Bray thinks.

 

[nashvol1]

As if Bray knew how to win a game in the 2nd half.

The problem his junior year was D and a horrible coach. Would love to have seen him under Butch

 

[Atzar]

Good win. Great performance by the defense. Great performance by Hurd, good game by Pearson. Passing game still looks rough overall, but Dobbs had some key runs worthy of commendation as well.

7-4. Next up, Vandy.

No doubt. A win is a win.

Question then is how the hell are we going to win anything meaningful next year if our offense completely collapses every 4th quarter?

Something's gotta give for the program to take the next step.

Agree

 

[Catbone]

Passing game is just completely atrocious and very concerning. Other than that. I'm pleased with the win

 

[74volz]

First win against Mizzou! Great game Hurd. Great game defense. Thought it'd be a lot closer. Almost did with play calling. 7-4. Next up Vandy. Must beat the s**t out of them.

I think butch trust Dobbs passing but not what happening before the pass is thrown.

Dobbs is really fumble prone and with our OL it's a huge gamble to put Dobbs at risk with a 2 score lead where a TO is seemingly the only way we can lose

Playcalling. We get out adjusted every single game.

D'Antoni made a good point after the MSU game today. He said it was nice that they played from behind since it allowed them to play with emotion. Josh is better when playing in that mode.

Did anybody see that hit Bryant laid on special teams tonight? HITSTICK!!

Partially true and partially not. Either way, game managed well, we won...D was nasty.

 

[VolsnCards5]

Austin smith was playing a lot. Was someone hurt, or has he just moved up the depth chart?

He looks Good!

 

[Vols4us]

OK gang, final thoughts. I don't care for how Butch manages and play calls games at times - but beating UGA, USCe, UK, Mizzou and soon, Candy, is making progress. Especially when we all know they should and could have won several more.

Now finish it out.

Hurd is a beast. Cam and JRM need to come back for the fun next season.

Wolf needs to go reintroduce himself to deboring and Butch.

Hats off to CJJ. Very well called and very well prepared team defense.

 

[Aesius]

Gotta say that 9-4 while breaking streaks against UGA and Mizzou is solid progress. Relatively slow progress, but it's there. And Butch can keep using that on the recruiting trail.

IMO I would rather Dobbs fix his fumble issues than his accuracy issue if I had to choose

Playcalling. We get out adjusted every single game.

Other games, you could make that argument. I just don't think this was one of them.
