The Official Tennessee vs. #9 Missouri Game Thread, 7:00pm ET(11/02/13), ESPN

[1985Vols]

The stench of losing is still upon this team.

It's obvious there is Dooley carryover from a mental perspective with the upperclassmen on this team. Going to take a couple of classes to change the attitude that has been entrenched from the Dooley years. Have to learn how to win. Dooley's teams always melted when things started going wrong. Hasn't changed on the road. I do see improvement when we are playing at home.

tennessee is going to be horrendous next year. We lose our senior O and D lines. Yes, they mostly suck, but they will be replaced by freshmen.

This is still going to get worse for Tennessee football. We are in the pits of hell.

O'Brien has seen good playing time at DT.

We get Vereen, Jordan Williams and Lambert at DE.

OL will probably be better inside. Blair takes James' spot. I don't think Richardson goes pro. He has been hemorrhaging stock especially since the game against Clowney.

All WRs/TE will be back. Dobbs back. Lane is back and has looked better. We get good FR in and WR/RB is easy for a FR to play.

We get a JUCO LB to replace Brewer who has played okay. Our entire secondary is back but this time with actual depth and no walk-on nickel.

 

[Jake]

Just utterly sickened by the lack of leadership from these seniors. Just embarrassing.

I agree...but man, this senior class has had a horrible tenure. I feel sorry for them in a way.

 

[Blackburn]

Jacques Smith is just getting absolutely owned.

He hasn't done anything his whole career besides look like a beast on the sideline. It's time for some real football players to join our team next year.

 

[MWAVolfan]

Could freshman do much worse than our seniors on the OL tonight? Heck no.

Our seniors lack ability, but have experience. Freshmen wont have ability OR experience. We will get chewed up.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Agree. know he was responsible for some turnovers, but he was trying to make plays. 1 he was being hit. One was helmet/helmet hit and other was totally on him with a bad read.

I just hope the coaches can shake this off to help the players shake it off.

What sucks is if Worley played like this he would be called the worst QB in UTs history.

 

[MiramarVol]

He might start "Guys apparently it does take A rocket scientist to know a snap count".

The OL can't use the I couldn't hear excuse. Carson Newman is loud as Mizzou's stadium.

 

[appvol]

At least we get a extra hour of sleep to sleep it off.

 

[govols/cc]

They have 300 rush yards. auburn may get 500

Little Matty Mauk has more than us

 

[DC Vol]

We gon score 31 unanswered and make em cry

 

[top5vols]

Team meeting. Yeah that always works.

No excuse for quitting.

oink

 

[mgnelson88]

I feel like our defense is too base oriented...I mean I could read our defense presnap when I was 14 in high school...no wrinkles, too conservative....no Dline pressure.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Gruden back to pass, he shakes of the defender, he steps into it and lasers it to palardy! Palardy for the TD!

 

[DC Vol]

He hasn't done anything his whole career besides look like a beast on the sideline. It's time for some real football players to join our team next year.

Lambert, Hendrix, Henderson.... come on down.

Just come on down right now.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Dobbs may end up with close to 300 yds and no TDs.

 

[OrangeBalls]

We somehow have 300 yards and only 3 points.

 

[MiramarVol]

What sucks is if Worley played like this he would be called the worst QB in UTs history.

Worley=2 1/2 seasons
Dobbs=1 1/2 games

Big difference.

Like I said, only going to get worse.

 

[GAMECOCK]

'Transitive property' aside, there no excuse getting completely destroyed by this team which lost to a SC team (same one the Vols had just beaten) that played terrible for 3 qrts. This is just pathetic and humiliating. No pride...

UT beating SC equals fluke. SC equals SEC east champs.

 

[Obsessed]

What sucks is if Worley played like this he would be called the worst QB in UTs history.

Damn


I forgot. Worley is freshman. Getting his first start. So judgmental of me.

 

[Catbone]

just want dobbs to get 1 TD
