Once again with even a caretaker at QB we win this game easily. No D coordinator has to respect our QB which makes their job much easier. I think JW is a great kid and I am sure he is doing the best he can. Either you got it or you don't.

Vols do have a better roster than USA by a fairly large margin. You can blame it on the coaches if you want to but what kept USA in it was the difference in the QB play. 3 picks, uncounted misses throws by Worley that kept Vols behind the sticks entire 2nd half. Add whatever that was on the botched FG attempt and you keep a weaker team in the game. Tip your hat to the defense even with the O continuing to give USA short fields and the ball the entire 2nd half they at least saved the win. If you want one play that sums up Worley and the game Vols last real possession 3rd and 6 Pigs wide open on a drag route a gimme 1st down and a chance to run down the clock and Worley overthrows pig by 5 feet. Its a QB sport fellows and we just don't have one.

Could be ....could be...but until we hit the point where the math says we are below .500 and there are no more games to play.....it's not a losing season. that's why they play the game....which is the case today......I lot of folks feel this was a gimme.....guess "S. Alabama High" didn't feel that way......they didn't accept this as a given loss

I look at coaches and judge them not by wins or losses but by whether a team is under achieving, over achieving or just achieving. Where do you think this team falls? Is Butch getting everything out of the talent that is over there?

I understand us getting rid of Sunseri, but maybe somebody can explain why we got rid of Chaney? Bajakian doesn't know what he is doing.

I thought it would take a miracle...but I'm a "believer" so miracles can happen......

so....from my engineering training....."probability was low.....possibility was low"......not impossible....only if you don't try is it impossible.

Yep. If we had any doubt, it's gone after today's performance. I honestly am not sure I see another win on the schedule. There will definitely be no wins vs teams we shouldn't beat. Not with this team. Just hope like he'll this winds up being a repeat of his first 2 years at Cincy... 4-8 to 10-2 iirc.

O'leary is a good coach..

yes perhaps you can say that....but I went to GA Tech while he was there and there are many games the fans did or could have said differently.....however.....when you look at the entire career....you get the statement you just made......by the way while at CF he's been in the cellar.....to the penthouse .....back to the cellar over a 3 year span of coaching there.......was he just a good coach for the one year? I'd say no....

Based on this game except for botched FG special teams played well. Defense played alright especially given field position handed to USA by Worley. Running game was good. Passing game especially QB play was major fail. So if you want letter grades ST -B, D -C, O Run game B, Pass game /QB play F.

So over achieved, under achieved, or getting results equal to the talent level of the team?

Defense and special teams are better than last year. Offense is held back by QB play. To this point equal to talent level. Look the real games to judge this team on are the last 4. We will lose ugly the next 3 weeks because we just don't have a QB that can help level the playing field. If Vols beat Vandy, Ky, Auburn and Missouri then the coaches will have done the maximum they could with this team. We all just have to hope at some point the light goes on for Worley and he plays a complete clean game. He shows you he can do it like on the TD pass to Josh Smith and 3rd and 15 throw to Croom. Those were great throws. He needs to be consistent. Jury is still out on if he can.
