You have a 3 touchdown lead. You don't keep opening up the playbook. You go basic on all your play calling.

I understand that, but this team isn't gonna lay down for the last 4 minutes.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

You guys have fun with your *****ing and moaning, I'm going to enjoy the win.

Exactly.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Gotta be honest guys. Hurd doesn't look that fast like I heard he was. He just had the opportunity to take that one for some serious yardage and got caught from behind. It has happened quite a few times.

I actually agree.

He might have fast top end speed, but he isn't quick.

Big Hurd fan being from the area, but I can't laughing at the people saying he has like 4.1 speed, can bench 459 etc... It got old really fast.

No

You destroy teams like this to give your starters a rest and get your 2nd a 3rd teamers game experience

 

[InTheShadows]

Snail's Pace. This game is longer than a mlb game. Can't end soon enough at this point.

 

[hmanvolfan]

General Neyland is spinning in his grave right now.

 

[Vols4us]

Special teams stink. Jake stinks. O-line still not gelled. No passion in the second half - players or fans.

Next week will not be fun if this continues.

 

[MWAVolfan]

Do we suck again?

we never stopped. it was all an illusion.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Y'know, maybe we need a new OC, but all the "either/or" of our fanbase is an overreaction. The people declaring us "back" after last week were being completely ridiculous, and the people calling for firings now are being just as ridiculous

We're young. Long way to go. That's it for right now.

Hurd would have 200 yards if he could get some blocks

 

[99gator]

There are a lot of quality pieces, but not the whole puzzle.

And a lot of the quality pieces are really, really young.

Exactly what everyone thought before the season.

2-0 is 2-0

 

[White Bread]

Calm down, it's been an uninspired 2nd half but I think we closed the playbook somewhat.

Finally, reasonable fans are surfacing. It's a 12 o'clock kick off, we are coming off a short week of rest, and after getting a lead we let off. This is a young team, they'll learn from this.

 

[DD4ME]

We lack focus. I think we got carried away with our win last week. Then we got comfortable with the 19 point lead.

This. I think losing two offensive stars to injury took our focus too.

 

[volstuff37641]

This team will lose by 30 next week at OK..You may not agree with me,but just looking at there play right now,they will not move the ball or be able to stop the Sooners.

 

[BeardedVol]

You have a 3 touchdown lead. You don't keep opening up the playbook. You go basic on all your play calling.

I think that is correct if your game plan is working. In the game it is not, and we are running for 2 yard gains and going 3 and out, and then putting a very tired defense back on the field.

 

[governmentmule]

A win is a win. Let's just take care of business

that is right

 

[volinbama256]

saline IV's all around for everyone after this game. Lethargic game and play.... please don't let them score again!

 

[Lankykong]

I understand that, but this team isn't gonna lay down for the last 4 minutes.

They basically have for the entire second half on offense, aside from one drive.

 

[utvolpj]

Big Hurd fan being from the area, but I can't laughing at the people saying he has like 4.1 speed, can bench 459 etc... It got old really fast.

Not a single person ever said that. However he is big, strong and fast

 

[vols 30]

We're winning but it's a sad game

I'm glad I stayed at home today. I would feel silly spending a ton of money to watch this

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Nice

 

[jhcrane14]

AND the Bama and FAU coaches called the game early.

OOOOO...good comeback.

 

[AllVols]

lol, D comes up BIG

 

[missvol]

Stop them!!!!!
