Title: We were thoroughly out-coached tonight Post by: Creek Walker on October 28, 2018, 04:50:23 EDT It was a good gameplan on both sides of the ball, but USCe made the proper adjustments on both sides of the ball and we never adjusted. I mean, it is what it is...South Carolina has a better team and probably should've won the game. But, still...

Penalties were the killer tonight. Title: Re: We were thoroughly out-coached tonight Post by: FLVOL on October 28, 2018, 04:58:52 EDT Defensively, I agree. Offensively, not totally.

Title: Re: We were thoroughly out-coached tonight Post by: VinnieVOL on October 28, 2018, 05:04:19 EDT I will say not trying for at least a FG with time on the clock and a TO in your pocket before halftime is pretty glaring right now.
Title: Re: We were thoroughly out-coached tonight Post by: LouisVOL on October 28, 2018, 05:29:53 EDT Our OL on offense and every position group on defense severely limit in game adjustments. I actually thought it was Helton's best of the year, but you can't have 7 discipline penalties. On defense, you can't adjust once they exploit your weakness unless you have the personnel to reinforce without exposing other weakness. We don't. I do agree that there is plenty of coaching opportunity, including fundamentals and discipline, but this was basically a personnel loss.

The losses to Alabama, Georgia, Florida and West Virginia were personnel losses. This was the first one that Tennessee could've won, perhaps should've won, and didn't. That's why this one stings more than any of the others. Title: Re: We were thoroughly out-coached tonight Post by: Tnphil on October 28, 2018, 07:37:35 EDT USC had 8 3rd downs....Our defense got them to 8 3rd downs the whole game tonight.... The 82nd rushing offense in the country ran it up our butt holes tonight....I really thought by the 8th game our Pruitt led defense would look much better against a 2nd tier SEC team. Very disappointing.
