We have to find a way to produce some big plays. 20 play drives for TDs are more rare than 1 play TD drives

Nice job forcing a turnover.

I mean, we are doing the best we can.

I can't complain about this effort.

That was a really ugly offensive sequence. 4 pocket passes.

Bad. No chance. And gave UT another TD.

Coach Lea is throwing some serious shade on UTK today. Basically using Them as a practice squad.

We beat the spread. We played hard.

It was a decent effort. Unfortunately, UT was significantly better.

What WAS the spread? Because you know Tennessee could have kept playing instead of letting the clock run down.

Spread was 30+ as I recall. I saw one prediction at 55-10.

I'll say this. I have watched VU football closely since the 1969 season, so I have seen some good, a lot bad, and a lot ugly. This team never quit in any game. They were outmanned often, and out coached occasionally. But the players and coaches all got better every game.

I agree with this. Now we've got to see what kind of players Lea can get and what adaptations he makes for next season. I have hope we'll improve. I just don't know how much.

Sorry I have watched even longer. It didn't seem to me like we made any progress today. We never had a real chance to win-at least that's how it felt.

I agree the effort didn't wane, but until we have some creativity and unpredictability on offense, I don't
see how the wins will come. We have to be able to make big plays, turn momentum, excite the team, then
excite the fanbase, create buzz. What do we really offer to the top players? How do we recruit them?

I think a big adjustment to our offense is needed. If a new OC etc is the answer, then we have to take that step. We will see if our head coach can make difficult decisions very soon.

I agree with the effort of the players. I will say I think our coaching staff really squandered 2 SEC games where we could have broken an 0fer streak. There were some really bad coaching decisions made in those 2 games in crucial moments.

Our ceiling was 5 wins this year. We wound up with 2. It started off horrible with the whole OC fiasco before the season, getting crushed by ETSU. All in all, I wish we would have just gotten 1 SEC win, that's why I was so mad we blew 2 opportunities.
