Butch was so excited by the win that he promptly laid into the Knoxville media to open his postgame presser. That was bizarre, puzzling and needless. It tells me he's still very insecure about where he stands.
But the bottom line is that he got the monkey off his back. I'm still not sold on his ability to be a consistent winner in the SEC, but I'll tell you what I am convinced about: his players will go for him until the final whistle, and his team is never out of any game. Those are two qualities you hope for in any coach.
Around halftime I turned to Dad and said "kinda feels like Georgia last year" without really believing it myself. I thought that was a once in a decade type miracle. If you recall, the UGA comeback was jumpstarted with UGA turnovers...and that's another thing that's so impressive about yesterday, it didn't start with any crazy turnovers. It was just a buckle down, "we can do this", comeback where we stopped them over and over and moved the ball on their vaunted defense. I'm still in disbelief, lol. But you're so right, there is no quit in these guys. And Dobbs will go down as one of the legendary VFL warrior QB's.
