I've seen some of them now start to say that Dooley is winning on talent alone. :roflmao:

Who do they think recruited those guys? :popcorn:

We left at least 14 points on the field (maybe 21). We had a TO left at the end of the first half that the sidelines or Bray should have used, it does you no good to eat it. Hunter should definitely should have caught the deep ball that hit him in the hands and was a sure run in for a TD in the second half. There were other missed opportunities, but it was the first game and overall they played well.

Whether it was a good play or not, the replay clearly showed that Bray broke the plane of the goal line before he lost possession of the ball. Hunter is not going to drop very many balls right in his bread basket. All talking heads, and all negatron fans thought Tennessee would lose this game. It is an opener to be celebrated and team has two weeks to prepare for Florida. My guess is that they are working some on Florida this week, secretly of course, so that the azzclowns in the media can't blog it all over the internet.
Great adjustments by Sal and his eyes in the sky, Conklin and Staley, at halftime. Moore looked like the guy that Pete Carroll recruited out of high school in the Peoples Republic of Californication. McCullers probably played less in the second half as the Vols went more with a pass rush package with State trying to play catch up. Not worried about him at all, he is going to be a difference maker. Good to see Palardy nail two field goals, he's healthy and that makes a huge, huge difference. Like what Charlie Coiner is doing with special teams. Putting Bullard at tight end to block was a smart move. Teague had a great game at one corner and Waggner looks very much at home back at corner. Fugate only had one tackle, but ran to and was around the ball plenty. Sapp was very active, looked like he belonged on the field as a reserve at linebacker.
As I stated before the game, Fulton is a bulldozer and he had a big outing, grading out best among the offensive linemen. Tiny's learning curve continues and he will be better this week and next than he was last week.
Grade job by all the coaches and I would give them a solid A in this game.
Isn't Sal up in the booth as he said he was going to be? I know I saw him once near half time on the sidelines but I thought Dooley said both OC and DC would be in the booth. Are they not?

Sal impressed me with his adjustments, BTW. Particularly after halftime.

Pretty much everyone who wins, they win with talent. You have a few anomalies here and there, like Boise State for example...but they are few and far between. Of those rare anomalies that come up, most of the time they (like Boise State) play 8 or 9 simple games a year and really only have to play well in 2 or 3 games to go undefeated. Much easier to do that than to win 'em all in the SEC right now.

I think Woody Allen said something like "success is 80% just showing up" (which, BTW, is a quote I love). Well, success in college footbal is 90% just having superior talent.
