They are bad

Starting to show a little life. Perhaps it took a dozen plays or so before somebody told the O-line that they're supposed to actually block.

Guarantano needs time to throw, and he ain't getting it from the O line. Look like Trey Smith will be out again soon, already injured again. 5 star IR doesn't help the O line any.
 
Guarantano has looked very good. 10-13 with one incompletion while getting his head torn off. Coaching adjustments were made and they started moving the ball.
Defensive adjustments were made and WV was having trouble moving the ball.
Without the 20 yards of penalties on the last drive the score would probably still be 10-7.

Grier missed on 2 tds to wide open receivers or it could be worse
 
I had hopes vols were in better hands with the coaching and I feel like they are but they look horrible . Their players are just not producing . They also look much smaller in physical size that the WV players . Almost as if it's a HS team playing a college team .

Yes, yes it could
 
They've shown spurts but too many mistakes and big plays. Grier has had a great day throwing to his receivers. I'll give Pruitt credit on the 4th and goal call where he went for the touchdown instead of just kicking the field goal. That was ballsy early in to do that I thought. Anybody that thought a coaching change was gonna produce instant results needs their head examined.

No not instant results but the vols schedule is not going to get any easier the rest of the season .

Yeah I'm somewhat familiar with what's ahead. :tu:
 
There were some highs and some lows. I was really impressed with our qb play. I was not expecting that at all. I pretty well predicted that game. Time to move forward

They didn't look very good, I didn't have high expectations for this year. It would still be nice to look competitive. I'm hoping this staff can turn it around in the next few years. Maybe, maybe we can win 6 this year....today didn't look promising though.

Vols lost by more than I thought. JG looked better than I thought. O-line struggled but also remember those guys haven't practiced together but a handful of times before this game. Secondary got beat consistently but several freshmen were out there up against a heisman candidate and some strong receivers.

It was hard to watch but I feel confident they will improve as the season goes. If they stay healthy through the October games it'll be interesting to see how they finish.

My take;

'They' are not bad. This team is really improved.

We have a solid QB.

Tim Jordan is the bomb.

The last time UT played this smart, Kiffen was on the sidelines.

We finally have the right coach(es).

The future is bright in Big Orange Country. If some fans want to slit their wrists after one game, go ahead. But you're gonna miss the good times that are coming.

Not poking fun at your comment or any UT fans, but that sentence made me chuckle. It reminds me of A LOT of the local UT fans around my neck of the woods. It seems their happiness and attitude is directly proportional to the success of each UT football game/season, which hasn't fared well for them over the last decade.
