What are your thoughts on this question?
Do you think this team is more talented than the 2022 team overall? Do you think this Vols team would beat the 2022 team with Hooker? I think this team is more talented overall. Why does the offense not look even close to the 2022 team's, given the talent on the current teams offense? What is stopping todays team from running the offense with the same tempo as the 2022 team? What is missing? Seems like he won't loosen the reins on Nico.

They are a damn good 6-5 team. So far you would think the records were reversed.

I was fine with going for it, but maybe something on the perimeter would have been good.

They are consistently putting 10 yards in front of Boo and getting a roll. He needs to run 10 yards closer on the snap and catch it. Could be a nice runback

I believe that free kick that was punted was a live ball. If it bounces the other direction it would have been an easy recovery for Vandy. Is that the correct interpretation?

I really do love this team, no matter what you idjits think. They just frustrate me at times with their lethargic play. If they put together a full four quarters of their best play, they can beat any team. If not, they can struggle against any team. Sorry I'm Captain Obvious..lol... As you were.

The way this game started, I thought I would have to check my blood pressure. Then I thought better of it. I really didn't want to know.

But they finally got it together.

A win is a win and this was a biggie.  :powert:

Horrible start!  I was concerned, but also confident that we could turn it around.  One thing I have noticed is this team responds well to adversity (with maybe the exception of Arkansas  :banghead:), but no matter how far we got behind in the first half, which happened repeatedly this season, they would come back and win (again...except for the pigz).  So what I thought today is that vandy going up by 14 would just acclerate the process, and that's pretty much what happened lol.

I felt very confident when we scored on a drive starting with 2:18 left in the first half to go up 24-17, and also knowing we would get the ball back.  Still had to play it out, but I figured vandy was baked at that point.

Their fans sitting around me were a bit vocal early in the game, but tended to shut up as the game wore on.  :naughty: :powert:
