Another game, another ranked, defensively tough opponent for Tennessee's struggling offense. At least the Vols return to the friendly confines of an opposing team's stadium. (Kidding!) An upset could be in the making depending on four things: (1) whichever team's New Offense with a New Quarterback can find itself first and/or best against a tough defense; (2) whichever team's offense can pass the ball well enough to supplement the run; (3) whichever team wins on third down; and (4) Tennessee's punt coverage.
Auburn fan PowerOfDixieland wins this week's Hail Mary Haiku with the following:
Auburn, Tennessee;
Both can agree on two things:
Georgia, Bama suck
Because PowerOfDixieland doesn't normally take part in the RTT Guessing Game, I'm awarding the HMH points to rustytanton and InBruceWeTrust for tying for second:
Tiger or Eagle?

Hey fellers.
Sorry I’ve been MIA but I damn near broke my left hand during the FLA gulp game so my typing has been somewhat hampered this week but I’m going to fight through it today.
GO VOLS! please
Well,... you were afraid of The Claw.
Easy, killer.
We’re gonna need you for the full season. ;-)

OMG
Ole Miss is probably gonna beat FLA and how much do we miss David Cutcliffe right now?
Well,... you were afraid of The Claw.
Duke is laying an ass-whoopin on UVA
I even saw a celebration penalty called on Duke for diving into the end zone. Coach Cut’s got them playing some ball.
Deferring is for p_ssies. Make a decision!
well ain't that somethin?
UT loses to UCLA
UT loses to FLORIDA
now Ole Miss is competing against the Gators?

Informal poll question:
Are you getting tired of hearing announcers say things along the line of, “You gotta get the ball in the hands of your playmakers.” ?
Really?
I never thought about getting the ball to playmakrs. Maybe we oughtta do that.
Well,... you were afraid of The Claw.
by XRayVol on Sep 27, 2008 3:19 PM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
Yeah
I was gonna say that I’m less tired of hearing it than in watching us get the ball to our most experienced guys at the expense of getting it to guys like Jones, Berry.
Go Vols!

But it's not a new concept.
That’s been a fundamental premise of football since the 1800’s. It’s just that the announcers use that line instead of actually suggesting ways a particular offense can have success.
It’s a catch-all phrase that announcers use to sound smart, even though it applies to every single game.
by David Hooper on Sep 27, 2008 3:35 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah
It’s a matter of degree and emphasis, though. Every team has a group of great players and a handful of absolute standouts. How much are the standouts involved? At FL, every play.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Sep 27, 2008 3:37 PM EDT up reply actions
That guy in motion
That Ole Miss runs on most plays really slows the defense down. A lot. We should look at that. I vote for Lucas Taylor when in the G-Gun.

Good
No orange pants.
I’ve decided to forego my usual pre-game and in-game rituals today. Let’s see how that works out.
Well,... you were afraid of The Claw.
That may actually be a good sign

Honestly, I think the team will be relieved to be in Auburn.
It’s one thing to hear boos from opposing fans. It’s another thing entirely to hear boos from your own fans. Right now, Neyland is a liability, not an advantage.
by David Hooper on Sep 27, 2008 3:33 PM EDT up reply actions
Play better the boos go away
It’s real simple even Phil Fulmer should be understand that. He couldn’t understand what happened against Florida.
Deferring is for p_ssies. Make a decision!
Sure.
I’m not offering judgment over it, just an observation.
by David Hooper on Sep 27, 2008 3:36 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm offering judgment.
They’re kids. All of ‘em. And they can’t tell whether the boos are directed at the coaches. Unacceptable.

I know this will be met with scorn.

I have to grant you
On that one.
I’m no fan of Crompton, but yes the receiver needs to go up and get the ball.
That being said it was a poor play call with 2 guys who were much more poorly covered than Jones
But yea, he should have went up and got it, smacked or not

Look to me like it was high enough to leave his receiver in a great place to get smashed versus getting the ball and some yards

I’m in that boat. When your receiver is spending all day jumping for your passes, yeah sure its a great photo op, but it gives the defender time to turn you in to a wide out pancake

UT is trying to tackle by wrapping at the shoulder.
That’s a really tough way of wrapping a player up.
That was interesting
Did Danielson just say that we could see Berry and Jones in the backfieild together? He’s often tipped off before the game.
That would be fun.

You may be correct. We need this win. Not just for conference and stat purpoises but for motivation and team confidence.

by Joel Hollingsworth on Sep 27, 2008 4:03 PM EDT reply actions
Well
I’m probably speaking out of turn here but here goes
Typically we are a pass heavy team. We’ve been Wide Reciever U for so long we expect to have receivers who catch the ball, make yards and move out smartly.
We’ve had dependable running backs on the ground game, and we’ve even had outstanding ones. Our defense has never been our strongest point in my mind. Sure we’ve had good ones, but its not an area we’ve stood out like our passing games.
This season is quite the opposite. We have a decent defense, maybe even a good one. We have a nonexistent air game. Our running game is being pressured because opposing teams know we can’t throw the ball.
End result? Instead of making progress our defense ends up playing 10 minutes of 15 and by the end of the game they are done in. Our offense sits on the sidelines and asks “What did we do wrong?”
I just don’t know what they can do to fix it at this point in the season short of back wrapping duct tape over our receivers hands

Besides, we might as well try 2nd-half adjustments. They seem to work for everybody else.

Yeah, but we’re maverics. We don’t do what works for everybody else.
Well,... you were afraid of The Claw.
Can we at least say that they worked for the General?

In 1930?
I’m not sure if that will work or not :)

True.
A win here puts us right back in the SEC race. Gotta come out sharp!

Lets look at this another way
Crompton can scramble. Lets use it. Make him an alternate running back. Use the G Gun and put our 2nd string in to throw Cromtpon in a RB/WR position and Jones off side and lets see what happens. We got nothing to lose by playing the gambler at the moment

Crompton has been pretty bad
5-14 for 52 yards with no dropped passes is pretty bad.
Deferring is for p_ssies. Make a decision!
I'll take what I can get.
The past is forever.

Some ugly coaching changes as of late:
Michigan, Arkansas.
We’ll have to be careful what we wish for.
I wish to keep Fulmer
I wish to get better QBs.
by bobo_the_vol on Sep 27, 2008 5:06 PM EDT up reply actions
Ditto
I don’t want to lose Fulmer.
Unfortunately if we lose this season I see that as a foregone conclusion.
We live in a Microwave world and everyone wants what they want in 30 seconds or less hot and ready to go

I'll call for Cromptons

On a related note,
the fumble was credited to Crompton, not Foster.

My biggest wish is that we'd get our fans back.
Fulmer or not, it’s really depressing to have Neyland be a favorable environment for the road team.
That's what's worst for me as well
Come to give your full-throated support to our boys or stay the eff home. I don’t care HOW bad they’re playing.

The solution is obvious: Play better
If you build it, they will come.
Deferring is for p_ssies. Make a decision!
Yup
Home field advantage should remain that
My biggest value is that until recently Vols fans would stay at a game until the bitter end
But now they are acting like spoiled Arkansas fans. Leave at the 3rd Quarter. Boo the team.
Its not a team effort. You love your team when they win. You cry for them when they lose.
Its not about winning a championship every game, sure we’d love it, but its about knowing your team is there for you and them knowing you got their back every step of the way.
Sometimes you get the dog, some times the dog gets you
