Football Time in Tennessee

[Displaced_Vol]

Ready for a more normal college football season. I mainly checked out on sports last year but I am anxious to get back into it.
Thought about trying to get to the game tonight but it's too much for a school night and 3 hours away.

Pregame notes: shouldn't be surprised with Milton being named QB1, hope he pans out. Excited to see RBs & WRs. I think there is potential at both those spots and if BG is what they say they are it should be a big stat night. I know GA State taught us not to take these things for granted.
Listened to the new Tennessee Prime podcast yesterday and thought Cade Mays was a great interview and enjoyed listening to him talk about his love of duck hunting.

Dear Josh, here's what you need to know about being the head coach at Tennessee.

Focusing on ALABAMA Georgia and Florida has what gotten you into the mess you are in. Yet the fan base can't seem to let it go. It has just been a couple of seasons they were getting owned by Vandy till Pruitt came along and saved them from that. Lets not forget that.

Haha, what focusing on other teams??? I dont give a rats a$$ about any team but mine, and thats to win, our only real problem has been a coach, your team went thru the same thing before saban

Vols record against cats and candy was like 60-1 when Fulmer was let go

P.S. Its been 5,431 days since Tennessee has beaten Alabama in Football, and 6,523 days since its happened in Tuscaloosa.

It was alrignt, only giving up 6pts was good.

I felt the offense was off and should have put up 50. Mutiple qb over throws on some deep balls. Qb completed less then 60% of his passes and took some sacks thats gonna have to get cleaned up if they want to win 4 More games this year.

Remember cbj was coaching a 19 to 21 game in the 4th quarter against the Ohio bobcats in 2016.

And Pruitt got beat down by Georgia state.

So could be worse.

Less than 50% of passes. Milton holds the ball too long and has zero touch on passes. Gonna be a long season with him back there if he don't improve drastically. First game so I'll try to hold judgement but it was pretty bad

Agree with all that up there Donkey & CB. Pass defense is suspect too which we knew. I think they're coached really well so hopefully they improve.
I was a little surprised more receivers didn't get targets but maybe that'll change game to game. On the positive side I think the RBs looked good. Obvious Small should have had some more touches last year.

On the whole I'm conflicted about not putting too much into it since it's the first game with a whole new staff and pretty new roster, against the fact that it was BG and it's only gonna get a lot harder from here.

Small is good and Evans might be a problem for opposing defenses if we have ANY passing game. I bet Pitt stacks the box and tries to make us pass. Last nights offense will be easy to stop going forward.
