We were simply a few missed plays from winning

[RDU VOL#14]

What about that play where the Razorback receiver was open by a country mile and their quarterback didn't see him? Moral: if a bullfrog had wings, he wouldn't have to bump his azz.

This is why I disagree with people saying the D kept us in it. They made more plays than the offense, but this was an all systems failure at Arkansas. The lack of fire we played with, the lack of preparation, it was unacceptable from Heupel on down. Everyone had a bad day, and luckily it seemed like it was just one of those days in college football. We didn’t even the worst loss in the conference. Almost everyone has a bad, eye opening loss in the SEC thus far. How we handle the next 2 weeks will decide the season IMO.

That was the overthrow to the TE, who is also wide open. Either play looks like TD or a least ball inside the 5 yardline.

I believe Nico will be as good as we had hoped. He’s just not the guy who had figured out SEC football while not playing SEC football, as some people had been bragging.

I don’t know where that came from. Maybe some big mouths should answer that for their selves.

I know that the doom and gloom levels that people like me are going to is probably unreasonable, but you can’t polish this turd and we are regressing hard and fast on offense and not just in this game. Everyone should have major alarms going off right now, things are absolutely not right.

It’s not doom and gloom, it’s reality. My alarm bells are ringing loudly. This offense is a hot mess from the OL play, QB play, to the WR play. All of them are far below expectations.

If the Vols lose to the Gators this weekend for the one millionth time over the past 40 years, the defenders of mediocrity might jump on board.

Nico might play on Sunday’s but nothing about him right now screams generational talent, greatness in waiting, or anything else pointing to a Hypesman candidate at any point during his college career. The OL is beyond atrocious. The WR’s can’t separate from average DB’s. If I’m Heupel I'm looking hard at OL coach, WR coach, and QB coach. The RB coach is doing a great job because his guys are the only ones living up to their potential.
