I’m 100% back off the Pruitt wagon again. He has completely bungled this game from a coaching standpoint and has gotten dominated by a team with far inferior talent.

He can’t get these players to play. Which is the most important thing a coach needs to do. This game looks a lot like the first game they played. And, you can’t have a decent football team without a QB. Tenn does not have one.

I'm excited about the chance that I think CJP gives us going forward.  I've seen players develop under his leadership - something that hasn't happened at UT in a while.

He totally botched the time management at the end, but I hope that he's learning as he goes.

I think the bottom line is that with a serviceable quarterback (not great, just serviceable) this team could have possibly been 10-3.  I don't know who the answer is at QB, but at this point in time I am confident that I know who it isn't.

Vols win!! :biggrin: Anyone who can honestly say they were willing to call that onside kick at that point in the game, playing backseat coach can kiss my ass.. we got us a ball coach!

Not crazy about the QB management, but it is what it is.  Just when JG does enough to get benched, Mauer comes in and scares them to death with reckless throws into double coverage.

But, it worked.  JG got it done when it was needed.  Shouldn't have come to that but it's win #8!

Before the first TD drive did they show JT warming up on TV
He was zipping it

Maurer is a baller....just not smart right now. Tries to do too much to quick. He'll be OK in time.

We won in spite of Gitmo

I don't recall seeing JT at all on TV.  Commentators were oblivious, too.

I say 18 without a helmet and originally so was JT but then he stepped off the field and started throwing passes like he needed to warmup in a hurry, then JG strapped his helmet on and JT moved away - very strange
