    Any halftime stats? WOuld love to know Lane's rushing yards

    Don't know what they are but they could be higher. My opinion, give it to him till they adjust and stop him. At that point exploit the adjustments.

    Bray was 6 of 17 and threw a pick on 1st down...that's why he got benched. for whoever it was saying poor gameplanning...our backup QB comes in and is 6 of 8 and drives us down the field to a score. If Bray wasn't throwing 3 feet above the WR heads and bouncing it 3 yards in front of them he'd be in the game and we'd have the lead. There is way too much Dooley-derangement syndrome going on out there. Dooley may not be the guy, but right now he is our coach and he pulled an underachieving player to give someone else a chance at creating a spark.

    It was poor gameplanning. There was no reason to throw the ball 24 times in the first half.

    I know that this is only the 1st half, but instead of our D making Rodgers look like a Heisman contender, they are actually playing like an SEC caliber D! PLEASE put in a complete game for once Big Orange! pray

  • There is no way to defend our coach and his decisions. He is an idiot and should be ashamed to take money from UT and call himself a coach. Down vote the crap out of it if are a loser 4 life.

    I have no problem with him pulling Bray. Just pitifulplay calling in the first half, especially when your quarterback hasn't shown up with his "A game".

    Yep!! I've started doubling down on the Miller Lite since Worley came in the game..... UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

    Too bad they don't serve alcohol at the stadium.... I'd really like a couple of shots of whiskey to remedy the suffering I'm going sitting here watching this train wreck. Tennessee offensive line makes Vandy's d line look like midgets.... I don't understand how UT isn't just pounding the rock on Vandy.

    He was not consistent enough

    That's B.S., he's been consistently our best player and carried the only good phase of our team this season. To bench him after a quater and a half makes absolutely no sense. There had to be some audible/making up play thing that pissed off Dooley and Chaney to cause that extremes of a reaction.

  • Justin Hunter is now over 1,000 receiving yards for the season. He's just the seventh receiver in school history to surpass the 1,000-yard mark in a single season.

    So, am I wrong in questioning why the HC pulls Lane and Bray for Neal and Worley? This coaching staff just seems to have no feel for the rhythm and flow of the game.

    Call us what you want, but we've watched the same comedy show all year long, too: Derek Dooley-coached Tennessee Volunteers.

    When a bunch of 'armchair QB's' can predict your play-calling on the upcoming series, you've got a problem.

    Think it could be the combination of his overall sh#@%y performance, cocky stair-down of the Vandy sideline after the TD & then the seriously BAD decision to throw that interception that might have made them sit his butt? He is a great talent but he has to grow the F up.

    I do. We were up 7-6 and they pulled our 3 year starter because he was struggling. If 20 minutes of less than ideal play is enough to bench a guy they could have done it plenty of other times this season. I really think that Dooley was just giving an F you to Ut cause he knows he's gone.
