I've already answered that in my post...statistically but as far the the 38 points, then what comment. The answer is then the defense should've done their job, if it was a close game like a 3pt win people would've been upset we lost and probably saying CJH should've taken the 3pts when he could but to let SC lay 60 on TN, that's all on the D

NOT 1 person can dispute the fact that the defense did NOT do their job, they didn't show up....agreed.....that's settled.

We have an offense, that's #1 in the country. If sc can score every possession on our BAD defense, why is it NOT the expectation that our #1 offense score on every possession against their BAD defense? You know......like a shoot out.

That would help us win...right?

You are absolutely right. The room is read.....I get the narrative now.
It's a lost cause dude.

Obviously if you question the offense it means you thought nothing was wrong with the defense and it was all on the offense.

Lol! Who gets the ball after they score?
The offense had an off night and still scored 38 points. The defense had one of the worst performances of any UT team in the last quarter century especially when you take into consideration who they were playing. Take the L and move on. Defense cost UT the game. Hopefully the unit gets back on track against Vandy.

That's your final answer? 👍

Dude if you read my post, I'm in agreement with EVERYONE else that the defense sucked this game. My only question was....since they did, what was the expectation of the offense. If we're trying to win and the defense laid an egg, we have the most powerful offense in the country....what do we do? And it seems like the consensus is that offense scored 38points and that should have been enough.

Stop sayin' that we scored 38 points and that SHOULD have been enough to beat south carolina.

Well newsflash......it wasn't!!

And when did it become acceptable to say......well we scored 38 points and that should be enough, so if they score more than that, that's on the defense for not stopping them😡

That mentality will surely win us alot of championships.....NOT!!

The defense laid down and got ran over, but where's our offense that just ran up the score a week prior. We didn't NEED to score over 60 on Mizzo, but we did (and they have a much better defense than SC). We have the #1 offense in the country, up against a defense that's worse than ours.

Where's the expectation that we actually run up the score when we NEED to?

In no team sport do you EVER say......well.....I did enough, so if we don't win, that's on them.

Who's teaching that?
USC scored two field goals on Florida. 6 points. There's locker room problems. It better be fixed or Vandy will do the same to us this week and you will get to make the same thread after that game too.

Well, no.... 38 points should be enough to win ANY college football game if your D even comes close to doing its part. The explanations and recriminations are in full bloom but the bottom line is the D was awful against an AWFUL offense. You can easily understand the D not being able to handle Bama... or even UGA. But USCe was bad to start with and then didn't have a RB.

Yeah. Expecting your D to SHOW UP will win championships. Not putting the burden 100% on your O... is part of winning championships. Having one unit carry the other not just in one game but pretty much the whole year... will NEVER win championships.

This has to be the most pointless thread ever. We're now arguing over the semantics of how we should argue about getting our ass kicked lol.
It's a sore spot with me. I made the comment the offense looked off and now I think it was the offenses fault.

So I'm trolling it for all its worth.

I agree what SHOULD be the case. 38 points SHOULD have been enough, but because the defense didn't show up and 38 points WASN'T enough, now what? We have an offense. We're a TEAM. If we needed to get into a shoot out to WIN the game, why wouldn't that be the expectation since we have the #1 offense?

NO one on this FOOTBALL team should feel like they did ENOUGH to WIN. If the do, they don't belong in any team sports.

The O did more than enough to win. The D did not. If you don't take accountability when it is YOUR FAULT then you do not belong in any team sport or enterprise of any kind.

If marketing tells us they can sell 300 tons of product and sales signs contracts for 300 tons of product and we produce 200 tons of product... It is my unit's fault... not theirs.

Now that we've established that everyone should be depressed - forget about SHOULDS. I say definitively . . . 38 points on the road at night in the SEC when your starting QB gets knocked out at the beginning of the 4th quarter has to be enough.

Fulmer destroyed his coaching career by electing to take time off the clock or take air out of the ball, when he could have let the offensive side of the team do what it was designed to do, lost many significant games over the years with that mentality and when Tennessee kicked him to the curb, he never coached another game.

Heupel will let his offense do what it is charged with doing, it's the problems with philosophy, talent and coaching that have Tennessee taking itself out of the top tier of the SEC this season.
