now that the regular season is complete, looking back at Tennessee's season, they should have been 12-0. Their "worst" loss was by 7 in double OT to Oklahoma, a game in which they controlled most of.
They had their chances to end Florida. They should have beat Arkansas. That game was winnable verse Alabama.
All-in-all, I am glad they got it together and finished strong.

The only team we were as good or better than in this was Arkansas this year. We lost that game due to the heartbreak in Gainesville the week before. Also not like they are a terrible team.
Auburn in 2013 was in the Title game, we had a garbage roster.
Ole Miss in 2014 was in the NY6 and we had a bunch of Freshman.
Bama all three years were Bama.
So like I said we should have been the Hogs this years but besides that, none of those are a shot a Butch's coaching acumen.

A double OT game would actually be the closest game we had as it was tied at the end of regulation.
The game we played the worst in this season was Arkansas after we got the early 14-0 lead. The team was emotionally exhausted from the early season disappointments against OU and FL and Arkansas pushed us around good in the 2nd half, credit to them as well.
But the truth is all of our losses went down to the last possession and were less than 4 points.

We lost a heartbreaker in Dallas to A&M the week before, so what is your point? We would have beat you by 3 touchdowns if not for the game before? Dumb logic. You lost at home to a team that wasn't even clicking yet. That team is the team that lost to Tech and Toledo. They improved a good bit in the following weeks.

He is doing a good job there and the right people understand that fact. Unlike many others who are showing their true merit, he's gaining speed. He needs to grow a pair at crunch time, but I think he's learning from his mistakes.

We have as well. The fact of the matter is Bielema did a better job getting his team to rebound and play a 60 minute game that week.
I've watched TN all season and starting in the 2nd Qtr of that game we played listless and without passion.
Similar to how we played in the 2nd half against SC as well.
TN and Arkansas could play 10 times and they'd both win 5, they are both good teams with some flaws.

Will be interesting to see who stays, leaves and who joins lyles staff.

I can agree to that. I'm still surprised we won given the start of the game and our exemplary record against athletic QBs

Our gameplan was head scratching.
It was like that week we decided to try and see if Dobbs could be a passing QB and didn't run him hardly at all.
I mean the week before he had 100+ yards on UF's D and we didn't hardly run him at all against the Hogs.
I know you all at that point had bad Pass D ratings so I think the coaches thought we'd be able to exploit that.
Unfortunately we learned in that game that our pass game was a joke and the rest of the season we ran, ran, ran and ran some more.
You know what you all did well too was you freaking ATE the clock in that game all game long. Early we scored really quick while you all did a great job of controlling the ball, getting our D tired and our O out of rhythm. It was a perfect game plan from Bret and we had no answer that night!
