Oooohhhh....
Lots of orange in the stats….
pretty….

Didn't we have 4 turnovers against UCLA?
I’m not trying to be a Debbie Downer or anything, though.
by samhitch on Nov 22, 2008 2:12 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I think Vandy only has 3 TO's
1 fumble and 2 interceptions. What am I missing?
by wvvol on Nov 22, 2008 2:20 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Not sure, actually
Just pulled the stats from GameTracker.
Go Vols!

Chris Peterson or Mike Leach? Whose better? Could either one coach up this offense?
Does Hamilton have the guts to make a hire like that?
by BigBeefe on Nov 22, 2008 2:14 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Hamilton...
I am scared to death he will hire a Kelly or a guy like him. We need someone with proven EXPLOSIVENESS!
by BigBeefe on Nov 22, 2008 2:19 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Leach. Leach. Yes.
Hope so. But we’ll have to trust him whatever choice he makes, that he made it b/c he considered all of the right factors and did what he thought was best. I just hope, based on what I think I know, that it’s Leach.
Go Vols!

Is John Chavis auditioning, as well?
Chris Low said he is using an “array of different looks and blitzes.”
People like to pin the UCLA loss on the defense, but the defense gave us 7 interceptions, and we still lost. I’m not sure how that is the defense’s fault. We should have at least gotten 21 points (3 × 7) off of those interceptions.
I really wouldn’t mind if John Chavis stuck around.
by rblakeh on Nov 22, 2008 2:19 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Slacking Zones Killed us...
Chavis D did great in that first half but UCLA adjusted in the second and Chavis kept the scheme the same… It was heartbreaking to watch.

I think your keyboard might be broke.
It’s replacing “4” with “7”. UCLA only had 4 turnovers.

Is that any worse than losing with 4, though?
by rblakeh on Nov 22, 2008 2:24 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Not really. BUT
EB would have had 2 more and no way he doesn’t return one for a TD so we would have won for sure. Or something like that.

Tennessee's defense is so good
When they get a pick, they turn into a quality offense. You might be right – John’s auditioning.

Hey, tennesseetarheel
Welcome. I think you’re right. Our defense may have been our best offense this year.

The Berry INT return yard record watch is officially ON, btw.

I’m not doubting, but I like to have references when I write on things like that.

But if that’s right, you’ve just fact-checked the official UT site, so kudos to you.

That FG at the end of the first half is why I'm glad Fulmer and this crew is gone.
10 seconds and you don’t have a play to try to score a TD? 20 points is not much better than 17. 3 TDs still catches you. Goodbye, sirs!

I think it’s quite possibly a blowout by the Gators.

An underestimated Ole miss gave the Gators the wakeup they needed. They’ve been playing consistently better than Bama the past weeks

The g-gun / wild berry isn’t going to work if you can’t keep the defense honest – you can’t just let the qb run it all the time.

The thing is, the offensive coaches know all this.
They know that an obvious run play is going to be at a serious disadvantage. I have no idea what’s holding them back from throwing the pass. Even an intentional throwaway helps keep the defense honest and is no worse.

Yeah but you risk an interception run back for a… oh, oh, yeah.

I was thinking "17th row in the stands" throwaway.
Just anything that says we might pass. Even if it’s a bluff.

They're going to run it
and fail to the point where the defense will have to expect a pass.

It's amazing
I was ready for this game at the beginning just to be a way to spend the day. No real chance of winning. Then, hope in the first half. Now, back to dashing those hopes. Seriously, what can they be thinking?

That's what's frustrating
Fulmer was right – they didn’t just get stupid . . . but what the heck is going on – there is just no continuity and no faith in a leader on our offense

Shotgun with Berry or Jones and 5 wide...
Then they just run away from defenders and throw it as far as they can…

Is one of the Vandy signals “gag me”? The guy stuck his tongue out and jabbed his finger toward his mouth. What play could that be?
