was it coaching that cost us the game or talant.

If we swaped mariotte for worley would we of had a chance...i think so. you cant run a read option without the option part

 

[chavisut]

Neither. It was all the negavol fans.

​

Talent youth injuries and depth dictated game plan

 

[Spartacavolus]

Probubbly a liddle of both

90% talent, 10% coaching.

 

[GOATeric14berry]

Imo you cant coach against oregon because what you should do against most teams is the wrong thing to do agianst oregon.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

We were outplayed in every facet of the game. They were much, much quicker with their no huddle and made the right calls to exploit our D to it's fullest. We could have made it more competitive with a quality QB, but once that offense got in rhythm we simply could not hang with them. Oregon dominated, period.

Brutal. LOL

 

[DocVOLiday]

There were many times when they had wide open receivers... that's not talent I dobt think

 

[DC Vol]

If this staff had Mariotta, it'd be their wet dream.

Smart kid, mobile, good arm, good composure.

That is their picture perfect QB.

A cement shoed, inaccurate, easily rattled QB with no arm strength is definitely not it, I'd wager.

 

[BennisDrewer]

I blame the gray jerseys

It is if they couldnt get in postion in time.

 

[Burhead]

We were simply out-talented, but I was disappointed we kept punting the ball though.

 

[cgbtn]

The talent gap was humongous, but OC did not call a great game. We had way too many running plays designed to go from one flank around the opposite end. Against Oregon's tem speed, that borders on stupid.

 

[bleedorange0037]

It was talent. UT doesn't belong on the field with teams like that right now. Better coaching might have kept the game a little closer for a little longer, but ultimately UT never had a chance yesterday.

you are right. if we SWAPED our worst player for their best player at the most important position in football...we would OF had a chance

I dont see how people state that the talent gap is that big? According to Rivals our classes have been very similar.

 

[65YearsAVol]

Free Read - sums it up pretty well I think:

Scout.com: IT's Take: Oregon

 

[mommasvol]

both we need a QB who can run & throw all ours can do is handoff

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Now compare team speed.

According to rivals worley was a good qb to

 

[hndog609]

There has never been a coaching staff that would have kept this TN team close to this Oregon team in their 3rd game. To believe otherwise is simply bewildering.

Quit looking at recruiting as a comparison...Oregon has been recruiting for a system for 8 years....we have Changed our system 10 times in the last 7 years both defensively and offensively. You cannot do this and expect to win without stability in the coaching and staff....Dooley made the biggest impact with the staff changes and micromanagement.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Talent.
