Flea flicker anyone? Anyone???

Stop criticizing Medley for missing 50 yarders. He isn't capable. It's like criticizing me for losing a race to Usain Bolt.

When we cross the 40, you need to plan to punt or play call like its 4 down territory.

Medley has missed 1 makeable FG.

If you put yourself in a position for Medley to attemt a 50 yarder, that's on you.

 

[KBVol]

he's trying to stick by his kicker and help him out of his funk to his own detriment. it's a coach having his player's back.

It's time he has the other players' backs by not running Medley back out there. The team is playing well enough to win, they're doing their jobs....Medley isn't.

 

[MySourceSaid]

So sick of dodge brothers and sonic idiots...

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Take 7 minutes off the clock and score a TD!

That would be a thing of beauty.

 

[led0321]

This might be Tennessee's last possession.... Got to have it

 

[T-for-Tennessee]

Sure would be nice for a WR or TE to show up big.

Yup.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

we should be winning 16-13 right now.

it's 100% on medley.

yeah but Dobbs is having troubles passing as well. There is two reasons we would lose this game. Dobbs can not pass, and Medley is having head issues.

 

[MrBiggles]

Any team other than Bama and the announcers would be tickled at the possibility of an upset. I hate these guys.

They're talking about Bama and LSU not this game!

 

[jimallvol]

Man it's really frustrating watching Butch make the same mistakes over and over in these tight games. If he would loosen up, and quit worrying about loosen the game, he would be a lot more successful this season. Why he keeps marching Medley on the field for these long kicks is mind boggling!

 

[bam025]

I will say play calling and defense is much improved

 

[utvolpj]

If Medley had been developed it would be 16-14 right now.

Or if bama had caught those sure int's it wouldn't matter. Lots of plays to count in this game

 

[Vols_Domination32]

Lets go boys find that Georgia magic again

 

[HuntinVol]

he's trying to stick by his kicker and help him out of his funk to his own detriment. it's a coach having his player's back.

Don't think so, if nothing else by sending him out on these 40 + kicks he's only hurting him more.

 

[volcop1]

butch tries to do it the right way. that's why he let medley try that kick. he's doing all he can for the kid but medley just doesn't have it.

He has the distance just not the accuracy

 

[2EZ]

wolf wolf wolf

 

[johnboyhunter]

Gonna say this now because I will deny it if we lose, but this Tennessee team has killed it today. A little better offensive line and "throw game" (and kicker) and it's ours. Still, a kick ass effort. I'm proud of my team today.

I totally agree. Last year we lost by 14 to Alabama.. 24 to Oklahoma.

I HATE LOSING. But we have been in it with a bunch of freshman and sophomores. EVERY GAME.

 

[UTwild82]

Smiiiiiiith

 

[saxvol]

Josh Smith!!!!!!

 

[UTodd01]

Smithhhh

 

[GhostVol]

Josh FREAKING SMITH!

 

[JohnD13]

Wow

 

[ttocswob]

Josh to Josh! again

 

[alavolfan]

There we go!

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

I think Jones just told these guys that we are not going to leave anything on the field and we are going full speed from here on out....and theres the big pass!
