re: Tennessee Postgame thoughts

I saw signs that the offense is improving. The loss of Callaway and Scarlett may have had a bigger impact that I originally thought but we are finding some play makers and getting them the ball. Now if they will only hold on to it.
Defense is good but young and depth is an issue. lots of people are playing which will bode well for the future.
To win the East you need to beat UT and UG and we are half way there, although some other East teams are better than usual so we have to take care of business and not lose to one of them.
Coaching wasn't the problem Saturday, they didn't fumble at the 1, or after a big gain, or jump of sides a single time. Players have to make plays.
I'll take a win over UT any way that I can get it.
Go Gators, Beat Kentucky.

We had ONE three and out all game. That's pretty decent.

Huge improvement, but our defense had no rest in the second half. Tackling went to shite especially in the secondary, that will happen with 3 CBs and 2 NBs.

I think we got closer this week on offense. We're getting close. I hope we take another step forward this week. It's been a tendency for Mac's teams to take two steps forward and one step back. Now it's the time for us to take this momentum and keep pushing forward.

Think Mac has done a good job of developing Franks so far?

The pass to # 80 the TE had too much mustard, but should be caught...Franks will learn to temper his throws as he matures...but I guess its hard not to show off that cannon he has. Most TEs have plywood boards for hands.

That pass should've never been thrown to the TE anyways. The 4-5 yard button hook by the TE should be the checkdown. If you watch the play, BP runs the seam from the slot and is wide-arse open against a cover 3 defense. All Feliepe has to do is throw the ball behind the safety and BP goes for 6. Looks like Feliepe decided pre-snap that he was throwing the button hook no matter what. I'm sure the coaches are telling him to read high to low but I think he'll learn from it and we'll get better moving forward. There was also another point in the game, I think before halftime and during 2-minute where it was another case of where he needs to read high to low. Franks threw the drag to Toney when Massey was WIDE OPEN on a wheel route, once again would've gone for 6. I honestly think the coaches might be drawing up the right plays and the players are just not executing a lot of the time, whether that be missed reads or missed blocks by the o-line, runningbacks or tightends. If you go watch the Michigan game there's a case of a perfectly drawn up screen to Thompson that would've gone for a touchdown. Instead, Zaire throws the decoy drag route to cleveland which would have been flagged anyways had he caught it due to lineman downfield who were setting up the screen. The players have got to start executing the plays and then we might have a chance.

We need to win the SEC. The East is a cripple fight.
