I watched on TV and they were commenting on the strong winds. I thought the one he muffed was due to the wind.

It was definitely kinda blustery, coming and going. Seemed like Flo was announcing her approach. Their punter wasn't consistent at all. Short, long, high, flat. He did it all.

Callaway's was muffed because of the wind because he had to jerk his hands up at the last second. The gusting had already started. He doesn't miss or drop many passes or punts. I'm just not sold he's the best they have for the role. Never been a fan of using the #1 WR in that role unless you are fighting for a title.

Like SS posted, that was a 42 point win and a conservative one at that. Some of you are totally missing all the players that saw significant action as well as the lack of opening it up on O. Chryst would have seen one series max. JG would have been throwing more seams, flags and posts down the field. They would have run the 2 minute drill at the end of the first half. They would have run quicker tempo throughout. The D threw a shut out and UTEP really had no shot of scoring a TD. By keeping it low key and not opening it up CJP has more to press the players on going into the most important game of the season to date.

You are such an unhappy person. They chose not to pile on a score in the closing minute because 1) it didn't change the outcome, and 2) clearly Pruitt is a decent human. The mistakes that cost us 11 more points were a freshman and a 5* that most of y'all think we can't win without. Just for once make half an effort to see the bigger picture...the score was 24-0, but the effort was 42-0.

I know that..I'm talking about all the busted plays and missed assignments...again. It's just that the offense is still a discombobulated mess a lot of the time...and I agree with all of you that mock me, I am unhappy..because I hate seeing Tennessee flounder around in the bowels of college football.

The depths to which we have sunk..Where we sit here just hoping to have enough juice to win 5 games and...puke...."hopefully" compete with the dregs of the SEC..Vandy, Mizzouri and Kentucky to get those 5 wins?..It makes me sick even though I expected it to be really tough this year.

Listen..I am sorry I feel this way..I too want to be all sunshine and roses, but the stark truth is.. This is a bad team, and it is hard to watch. I didnt know this place was reserved for only the blindly optimistic crowd to discuss their feelings and thoughts. This is what see, this is what I say..

I hope I am all wrong about all this...but I'm 90% sure I'm not.

New system. New coaches. Third game. And a 4:1 ratio between yards gained and yards given. Choose to see the positive. Makes life more enjoyable.

If we beat the Gators..I'll be a lot happier..I just don't see it happening with this mess at OL still going on and on and on..The defense appears to at least be improving incrementally and that is good. We'll see how it looks against SEC speed though..I hope it holds together because I don't see us scoring more than 17 against UF.

I guess we can have a good guess as to how they practice this week. Like Pruitt said , he never seen a team do good Saturday that did not have a good practice week.

We're going to lose a bunch of games this fall bro. Might want to just check out until 2020.

You have no idea how bad I want to..but I'm a Vol for life..I can't do it. The more pain now, the more exquisite the joy when we finally do win again...


See!..I really am an optimist deep in my heart...Just not about right now. 😁
