Extra large hole despite being ahead in everything but the score and turnovers. P.S. Don't punt to Brandon James in the second half. Better yet. Don't punt.

Hey guys
Cal fan here; how much of this deficit is on the players and how much of it is on the coaches?
by BearsNecessity on Sep 20, 2008 5:12 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Good question
Much is attributable to special teams breakdowns. Put that on the coaches. Put the fumble in the red zone on the players. I’d say 50/50 players/coaches. What do y’all think?
Go Vols!

I think that's a fair assessment, given what I've seen

Id agree
just based on initial observations. Maybe a bit more on the coaches, I dont some of the defensive playcalling (like the total lack of blitz on 3rd and 13…).

Florida offense has done little
D has looked pretty good. Offensive scheme is outdated and a joke. I put much of the blame on our scheme and preparation.

New plan
G Gun at least half the time. The rest of the time is split between Hardesty and Creer.
Biggest problem is figuring out who to get into the end zone when we get close. The best-defense-is-a-time-consuming-offense is working. Just no points.
And don’t punt to anyone in blue.
Go Vols!

Just so y'all know . . .
I have resolved to be either positive or silent in the second half. At least with respect to our own team.
So here’s some positive. We’re moving the ball. They scored a bunch of points quickly, but not much after that. We could get on a roll.

of course after a big defensive series their punter booms a 300 yard punt
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

No. The game IS over.
The new clock rules will allow Florida to run the clock out. They may need only 1 first down to kill the clock before anybody could score 4 TDs. The new rules do make game endings far less dramatic.

I give Crompton this much.
He WANTS it. Mistakes and all, he’s still trying to get SOMETHING out of it.

That's not much.
He can want it, but he doesn’t have it. Of course, we don’t know if he has it, because Tennessee appears adverse to spreading out and throwing the ball down the field and, more specifically, in the middle of the field.

Auburn doesn't have as good an offense

It's purely a time-of-game thing.
The new clock allows a 40-second runoff per play. That leaves about 25 total plays in a quarter when run right. For UT to score 3 more times, you have to assume 3 more Florida touches. Even if they go all 3-and-out, that’s 9 plays taking away 6 minutes of game time.

That was the dumbest visual.
Let’s see: my plan is for my team to:
A. not get scored on.
B. score a lot.
If that works, we win!
Is having an analytical brain a disqualifier for TV production?

The turnovers were all the difference.
Without those, UT would have been competitive and they wouldn’t have self-destructed.
UT beat themselves.

There seems to be a pattern here...
I hope it changes after today.

Yeah, the pattern is:
too much pressure placed on the players. When one mistake happens, they panic.

Bad decisions do tend to result from pressure. Poor throws and coughing up the ball in particular.
I hope they can take this and become more motivated. They seemed to be in the emotional doldrums today.

Turnovers, yea, they were bad. The Vols did beat themselves.... to a point
They left a lot of points on the field, but the special teams were DREADFUL, allowing a score and giving the Fla offense short fields on multiple occassions.
Cannons... fire them.

These kind of losses are unacceptable.
Fulmer is under contract for years to come, but something needs to change.
Cannons... fire them.

I gotta think it over a bit.
My knee-jerk thoughts aren’t usually very reliable.
But hey, at least your Bucs are competetive. ;-)

I hope they can stay that way
speaking of ineffective offenses… I’m concerned about the Bucs lack of a downfield threat with Galloway out and Antonio Bryant dropping balls. We’ll see if the old defense can keep it together for one more year.
Cannons... fire them.
