It's almost laughable.....No coaching and less players.

 I don't know. Jones prevent offense gives the Vol defense a run for its money on who is the worst. Mizzu defense is terrible and the Vols cant move the ball.

We likely score a couple more times in the second half if not for turnovers.

If seems to be the most appropriate word to describe the past two years of UT football under Butch.

And they dropped 8 passes, including two that definitely would've been TDs.  AND, they took a knee at the end on our 6 yard line (not to mention that the play before likely would've been ruled a TD if they had bothered to challenge).  They easily could've hung 60-70 on us, maybe even 80.  The "if" game doesn't really work in our favor in this one.

If not for 3 dropped probable TD passes by Hall and a missed call on the last Mizzou possession when the backup QB did not step out of bounds, Mizzou would have scored 70 plus. 

There is no way to put lipstick on that pig.

If not for 2 turnovers in the red zone and a ton of penalties, we likely lose to So. Miss last week. Rudyard Kipling, anyone?

Which was really evident in the game last night,  causing 8 dropped passes by wide open receivers. Good stuff!

But NO FLY ZONE! :dielaughing:

You're talking about their offense.  I'm just saying our offense could have had about 31 points if we don't turn the ball over.  Their D is still pretty wretched, although it has improved.

I think McBride showed some promise and grit, and our running game was okay.  I'm looking forward already to next season, just pointing out that the cupboard isn't bare.  We moved the ball reasonably well in the second half, just kept turning it over. 

LSU likely throttles our 3rd string QB led offense, but we will see.  Maybe we can scrape up a few points.
