And who decides what is less? How many wins should we have?

Wins have nothing to with my point. These o lineman are offering little more resistance than air. Some of that is lack of talent. Some of that is lack of p likeayer development. Remember everybody saying this line would improve as the year progressed? They've regressed.

Defense looks like a top tier defense athletically. DT is the only position. But I'd love to see this defense paired with a consistent offense.

Are you serious? You're saying it isn't the coaches' job to get the OL ready for CHATTANOOGA? THAT is foolish.

I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter how ready you get them when they are getting blown up in pass pro against CHATTANOOGA. That's big on big football. If your LT can't win that battle, I don't see how you can jump on the coaches for that. You can coach them, but you can't play for them.

Honestly we're on pace for about what I expected. I said 5-6 wins all offseason.

I thought our line would struggle but at least look respectable.

If our line was even close to being respectable, UT would have 4 wins now and prob win the east this year....

Same excuse people made for Dooley.

It. Is. UTC. What do you think the coaches' job is?

All I was saying was there isn't a concrete measurement to determine your statement. More with less? Who decides more? Who decides less? These coaches are playing with who they have. It's frustrating, but there isn't a way to trade or pick up anyone right now.

I'll give you the pass protection scheme. We do a poor job of helping out our overmatched tackles.

I suppose at some point guys just have to execute though. On one of those sacks Thomas and Scott were assigned to block one man and neither got a hand on him.

This line is awful. I'm not placing blame exclusively on the staff for this.

But, this is an awful team they're getting blown up by. That's a coaching issue, too.

This crowd is pathetic. After a first down....5 people clap.

I know I was frustrated last year when we played Auburn during Homecoming. They were coming in as a top team in the country and the crowd sat on it's hands.

How many players are hurt, now.

Kerbyson got pushed back and gave Worley about 2 seconds to pass. If we have to help Thomas, then Kerbyson has to win 1 on 1 match ups. What are the coaches supposed to do? It is just a disaster, and we just have to get better. It is what it is.

I understand your point but it's in my opinion they are under performing even given their youth and lack of talent. Most of the time you should see some progression over the course of the season and we're seeing none. If this was another SEC team we were playing today I would give them the benefit of the doubt but this is a division II school.

I don't think you understand what I am saying. Look at last year and look at this year. Same coaches. Same scheme. Better OL players. Then 5 yards/carry. Now 3 yards/carry. 19 sacks so far this year. Only thing that has changed is the players. Look at this set of coaches previous jobs and how well they ran the ball there. Every single piece of evidence points at a lack of talent and experience on the OL.
