Some random takeaways after three games…

[Hank Bukowski]

1. We are nothing close thus far to last year’s team, except our defense; our defense is about as bad as last year’s, with the possible exception of our LBs.
2. Our RBs are very good and run hard and find first downs often when they aren’t there.
3. Kamal Hadden needs to sit.
4. Our OL is not as good as some of us expected and about as bad as a lot of us expected.
5. Our DL is not good against decent competition (if FL qualifies for that distinction) and not as good as most of us had hoped and expected.
6. Our kicking game seems solid so far. Our Aussie punter seems to have figured it out.
7. Every Zebra calling our games this season hates Tennessee. Might as well get used to it.
8. We now know that our coaches on both sides of the ball can be outcoached and when they are, it ain’t pretty.
9. Donte Thornton can actually catch the ball.
10. As much as we love him, Joe ain’t the guy.

We are not a relevant team. Same as Butch, Dooley, and pruitt

We lost one game so naturally let's fire the coaches right

Absolutely not! As you can see from other threads, I said the coaches have not been the problem.

None of them ever won 11 games

Nah But they did themselves no favors UF might win 6 games this year and 1 was against UT . They got out coached today that also includes playing players who are not that good .

 

[DonDiego]

We looked like App State against us. Givem a good game, but you ain't winnin

 

[driscokid]

Pretty much what I just told my brother. Agree with every one of your points

 

[Emperor VOLpatine]

Well that's just not true in any way lol. We won 11 last year and Heupel won a natty as a player

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I’m still trying to figure out how the TN roster was supposedly far better than FL. It didn’t show on the field.

I think he meant that Butch, Dooley and Pruitt never won 11 games.

Heupel made some nice adjustments at halftime ... but the team wasn't well prepared to play coming into the game. I guess that makes it fair to say he was "outcoached." Heupel also appears a little stubborn.

After 3 games, we still have alot of unknowns about this team. However one thing is very clear thus far, we were extremely overrated in the preseason. If we play poorly against UTSA, doubt is going to settle in for the rest of 2023.

The defense has not, apparently taken the steps we've needed or liked. Yes, the LBs are a bright spot.

RB are better, and the OL knows how to run block as well, they're not bad, just inconsistent.

But no the OL has regressed when it comes to pass protection, and in general, penalties.

Florida starting crew were good. Second half they sucked. TN has more depth, it showed. The offense did nothing with it.

Donte can catch can catch when Joe is gets the chance to deliver. Was it there all night?

CJH didn't get out-coached, the players (for the second week) underperformed (i.e. they stunk up the field). But CJH is in charge...so when you say you like competition, as a good thing, now's the time to remind some that, yeah, guess what, the guy behind you may be just as good. You can't stand at the podium and talk about it, if you're not willing to pull the trigger.

Our offense play wasn’t bad as I thought. Tonight was more about missing tackles, allowing easy TDs, and clock management. FL won by chewing clock and scoring TDs. That easy.
We get an extra 8 minutes I think we win.

We need a quarterback!

Putting Heupel in the same league as the Doolster is comical. Go to bed, bud

 

[VolFanInHawaii]

None of them ever won 11 games

Dooley won 11 games…over the course of his first two seasons

We really aren't a relative team, tho. Alot of it has to do with piss poor coaching decisions from a piss poor coach. Coaching in poverty.
