Yea that's not the case now then. Looked pretty slow.

Not pretty slow but slow. That said, Tennessee is a good defense.

Some positives, although we got big boyed at times, we also hurt them at times.

There were 3 or 4 plays that couldve resulted in a much closer game. Sometimes those breaks will go differently.

I am fearful Robinson’s system depends on us winning individual matchups. He also has a bend don’t break mentality. Fran has said in much in pressers. As good as a recruiter may be, we aren’t going to win a ton of individual matchuos versus Tennessee.
 
Angeli was not so great, holds the ball to long. Reminds me of Devito. Hopefully, better next week. Those turnovers were killers. The interception was all Angelis fault to start the second half.
 
Was at the game and my thoughts are

- overwhelming atmosphere. Definitely got to us. The moment we kicked off and forgot to get the tee off the field it felt like we were somewhere we shouldn’t be. Fran and the coordinators looked unprepared for the moment. It will get better but you had guys forgetting they were on special teams, illegal shifts, illegal guys down field. Just a disaster start. Once we settled in it got better.

- positive second half after the tipped pass int.

- Yasin is great. Johntay is great. Angeli not bad.

- it felt like Tennessee could score whenever they wanted. Their offense was bigger and stronger than us. Defense will be fine but they aren’t ready to play cfb playoff teams.

The Good: Angeli at QB looked composed, not overwhelmed by the moment.
The Bad: Defense is going to be bad... again.
The Ugly: Gap between athletes on elite teams and us is quite noticeable.

This is year TWO in a major rebuild
Yes for now their is a gap but we've closed it very quickly
Defense can out played by a great offensive scheme and a few more plays, they will be better then last year

I don't get why people think the defense will be fine. The schedule last year was a cake walk compared to this one and we had the same issues with multiple NFL guys on the field
 
tennessee pash rush generated 5 sacks and TO's. we couldn't generate any pressure. and i was a bit surprised to see the Vols offense still playing fast and snapping up by 2 scores in the 4th. instead the trailing team is using all the clock and calling timeouts to avoid delay of game calls. weird.

Why can’t the best recruiters in the country attract top talent?

Yeah I think that’s fair. It probably won’t be the biggest thing I noticed is we have no identity of who we want to be. If you watched a Syracuse football defense I’m not sure you can say these guys are good at ______

Would you fire EROB tomorrow? Curious

How drunk are you? Curious

To answer it, no of course not. IT's week one with a bunch of new pieces against a huge spread out offense that is very difficult to defend against. They clean up a few plays and it would have been a bit closer.
They appear to be about a 7ish win team which with our schedule it is a fine season.
 
Impossible to know what we actually have, that Tennessee defense was supposed to be elite we could have easily scored over 30, our tackling is still an issue, there are probably 10 or more top 25 teams we would have rather faced then Tennessee in Atlanta. We will know a little more in 4 weeks
 
QB thought. I don’t think Angeli will ever be a reason we lose a game but I don’t think he has top end talent to ever be the reason we win a game. Have to run the ball and play solid defense. Last year our defense was terrible and McCord could use his arm to bail the team out that isn’t going to happen this year regardless if it is Angeli or Collins. Our season will hinge on the defense not QB this year. ERob needs to step up or get replaced.
