The announcers kept saying how EC13 was going to get at least 10 touches per the coaching staff. Homie had 1 touch. WTF?


He was hurt.

Injuries were a significant factor but our DC showed he can attempt to adjust.

Grubb? Where was his adjustment?

Heck I'm still asking what his gameplan was to attack rocky tops weaknesses? What did he see on film from study and what counters did he devise?

MacIntyre is fricking trash but they made it work just by giving him nothing but easy throws that kept the ball in his hands for less than 2 seconds. W


No that’s not accurate. There were multiple plays in the first half where he stood back there or moved around in the backfield with the ball. Bama’s pass rush was pathetic and anemic. He usually threw the ball away after 5 seconds.

I’m going to state something simple, obvious but highly unpopular amongst the super Tide fans here.
They are just not that good.

I agree. I think loty is a good 2. Rico a decent 3. Move them up and it's not great

I really feel like Pritchett should have been a major target all day. His size and ability to move the sticks is really good. 81 is not a good receiver. Not sure why we keep trying with him

I felt like the coaches gave up and conceited a loss based on what I saw.

It’s been two FULL decades since I’ve seen a Tennessee team clearly better and more prepared than Alabama. They got their azz whipped.

Hill didnt fumble yesterday. Russell's foot was stepped on as he twisted to go behind his back in weird handoff. Hill never got the ball

I still don't understand why we didn't run the ball more. That would have massively helped him, taken some of the pressure off of him. It also would have helped keep the Vol defense honest.

Right and I knew we were going to have issues when they said DM would fill in for RCW. Huge, huge drop off. All DM brings to the table is height and decent hands. He’s at best, a possession receiver. He can’t even run his routes to the sticks with 2 catches yesterday short of the first down. He’s not going to make a defender miss and he’s not going to out quick a defender.
