Still don't understand why we don't pound the ball! Suspect play calling at best.

 

[sjsmith87]

I think the defense can learn a lot from this game, yet I think our offense takes an unfortunate step back today.

 

[OWB]

I look forward to the day we're competitive again.

 

[rocketskates]

I knew it was gonna be tough but I honestly thought we could compete a little. Ah well, tomorrow morning ill still have orange in my house. I've been a fan all my life and especially the past 5 years. How can hell be any worse?

 

[Persian Vol]

This is not just a test for our teams mentality looking into the future, but as well as our fanbase. So calm the f**** down

 

[tnvols72]

We are playing a bunch of young men strait out of high school in fill in rolls, ya'll know that right?

so that is the excuse your sticking with ?

 

[carolinaviking]

We seem to forget that we lost to worse teams last year with a better QB. We are playing with Dooley's players, we have a new coach, and a (relatively) new scheme. Bray would not have made much difference in this game, given those factors and this defense. None of this is surprising, except to the deluded minions who think trouncing Austin Peay and WKU were indicative of great potential.

I wish we had Louisville' s schedule

 

[govols/cc]

This place is so retarded. Some of you posted all week how we had a chance, would get the upsets, now we're getting housed (like other said would happen) and some of the same people are saying the season is over.

My goodness.

Some people aren't realistic. I blame them why I'm pissed right now because this is what I expected from our current team.

 

[volgrad500]

If we supposedly have one of the best O lines in the country, we sure as FU#K haven't shown it

 

[tumscalcium]

So glad I'm at my nieces birthday. I haven't seen a second of this game and have no desire to do so.

It's a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG way off

 

[VolsnRavens]

Worley sux!!!

 

[TheDeeble]

Here is the thing: You can't run the read option if you are going to play Worley and not run the QB. I said this last week. What is the point? Why did we throw once to Smith in first half and not since? Their FRESHMAN tight end has worn us out. Downs is older and not half as good--he is slow. Croom should be playing TE, IMO.

If the read tells the qb to hand the ball off, then it doesn't matter. No qb should run the ball if the read tells him to hand it off.

 

[govols/cc]

I wish we had Louisville' s schedule

It wouldn't matter

 

[Volswin98]

I can't believe some of this s**t being posted on here. Oh wait it's Volnation yes I do.

Well maybe everybody on here is tired of their team losing and being made fun of from every angle!

 

[Rocky-Top 10EC]

Hey, we scored first just to get it out of the way

 

[YankeeVol]

so that is the excuse your sticking with ?

He must be Dooley

 

[Catbone]

I look forward to the day we're competitive again.

4 more years

 

[utvolkyle06]

OK,how long before teams start paying us a large pay out to go on their schedule?

 

[dreVol]

If we supposedly have one of the best O lines in the country, we sure as FU#K haven't shown it

great in pass protection, but paper tigers in the run game

 

[VolStudent5]

if we had dooley it'd be closer.

 

[GhostVol]

Peterman may not be the long term option but it's time to find out

 

[armchair]

How many first downs did we get after that TD drive? Any?

 

[zydane47]

The problem I'm seeing is that with the read option it's not really an option if the QB never runs with it, there have been many times where they didn't even bother to cover Worley. Either you let him run, or you stop doing that play because they aren't falling for it.
