UT did look better as a whole... the line looked good, the receivers looked better, backs were running hard, and the playcalling was better.. with all of this said who is gonna be that guy that is gonna say ainge really looked that good... you scored 35 points (2 horrible tackles by the corner, 1 case of bad tackling, 1 busted coverage, and 1 let me repeat 1 good scoring drive)... 3 balls ainge threw should have been picked not just one and one should have tied the game 7-7 b/c he would have easily scored if he breaks on the ball (and if you go back and listen to the dude calling the game he said doesnt ainge look a little late with bout 5 minutes left in the first half)... he made 3 good plays i think all game (1 being the nice touch he put on the ball hitting someone on a little seam route, 2 he threw the ball away which shows hes maturing, and 3 he checked off to a run which went for bout 15 yards.. and honestly that is it).. so i just want to know what everyone really thinks about the offense

 

*yes i rewatched the whole game after my brother said that cal played horrible D... UT might have scored 14 points against an SEC defense.. but as a whole the people on the O did look bigger stronger and faster

I'm so glad I decided to go to the game. Great atmosphere, and UT's defense looked great. Their secondary got beat a few times, but a few key hits broke up some big receptions.

 

Lets keep it up when we open up SEC play with Florida!

.. well after last year, we have reason to think like that .. UT fans might be the ones in for the suprise this year

 

I kept telling my stepdad that I wish I was sitting in the swamp when they were announcing the scores of the UT game so I could have seen some of the faces of there fans! I know that d2d and you other fans wont admit it, but you guys are pretty worried now!

 

But Like i said to reddevil earlier, if everyone thinks that this is the same UT as last season, then they are in for a surprise! UT has a chance to beat every team they play, not saying they will, but they will have a chance to!

Im not worried, never am. I dont get worried about too many things, especially UT.

Here's the big difference.

 

When Cal made a mistake, UT exploited it. Last year, that didn't happen. When they made a mistake in their defensive play selection, it was exploited. When they missed a assignment or tackle, it was exploited. Make the excuses you want, and say what you want, but that is part of football. Ainge wasn't asked to make plays, just get the ball out there and let his receivers do it.

 

The offense as a whole looked a lot more crisp and polished. The receivers looked completely different. They made Ainge look good. Last year, they would have gone down on some of those missed tackles.

 

The end is still the end. UT had 514 yards offense and dominated that game from the start until the starters were pulled. There is still a ways to go, but I don't think anyone expected that much of a change by game 1. There was an intensity on the offensive side of the ball that has been lacking for a long time.

Cal 38 UT 17

 

Foster runs for 120 yds....... Lynch gets 110 yds

 

Crompton replaces Ainge after halftime, after Ainge throws two int's. That's my prediction

Its Forsett not Foster, anyway! Lynch 74 yards rushing, Forsett 1 yard rushing!

Total Team Rushing Yards: 64

As easy as it is to post after winning, its even easier to be a Vol Basher, instead of being a basher of Tennessee, why not root for another team, and be gone!
