QUARTERBACKS C
Erik Ainge’s interception came at a terrible time. Had the pass been on target the play could have resulted in a touchdown and needed momentum. Otherwise, Ainge was mostly efficient, but too conservative. Jonathan Crompton threw an interception when the game was out of hand.
RUNNING BACKS B-
Arian Foster continues his strong play with 165 total yards from scrimmage. Will LaMarcus Coker ever give UT the spark the Vols once expected from him? It sure doesn’t look like it. Montario Hardesty is too good to sit the bench for an entire game.
RECEIVERS C
UT’s coaches would have benefited against Alabama had they had young receivers ready, especially when Josh Briscoe (head) and Lucas Taylor (toe) were sidelined by injury. Gerald Jones looked impressive on first two career catches.
OFFENSIVE LINE C+
Showed glimpses of greatness with a pair of long drives in the first half. Then they slipped. Still, no sacks allowed and 103 yards rushing for a 5.4-yard average. Center Josh McNeil’s holding penalty and bad snap were drive killers.
DEFENSIVE LINE D-
No pressure. Two personal fouls, one by Dan Williams, that helped Alabama to a touchdown instead of a field- goal try. Jumping offsides gave the Tide a first down on fourth-and-short. The Vols’ front registered only one tackle for a loss. With two Alabama starting offensive linemen suspended, UT should have made more plays.
LINEBACKERS D+
Rico McCoy had a sack. Linebackers have to take some responsibility for breakdowns in zone coverage. Could they have been more effective had they been asked to blitz more?
SECONDARY F
Brent Vinson gave up a 42-yard reception and fellow cornerback Marsalous Johnson was called for holding on the same play. That pretty much symbolized the day for UT’s defensive backs. Made John Parker Wilson look like Joe Willie Namath.
SPECIAL TEAMS D
The Vols got beat in the kicking game from beginning to end. An opening onside kick set the tone. The Vols also gave up a 61-yard kickoff return. Good thing the Vols have punter Britton Colquitt and placekicker Daniel Lincoln. Otherwise, there would be no bright spots.
COACHING F
Poor game plan allowed Wilson too much time to throw. Vols weren’t prepared for opening onside kick. Reverse to Kenny O’Neal couldn’t have been more obvious. And Lennon Creer on a key third-and-one with a hot, power back (Arian Foster) on the bench? Not good.
OVERALL F
As bad as Georgia is proving to be, UT’s keynote win may be over Mississippi State. That — and a third lopsided loss by October — shows just how far the Vols have fallen. Don’t just blame the Alabama loss on mistakes and penalties, it was bigger than that.

JUST RUN THE BALL!!! Cutcliffe made Chavis, the defense and Fulmer look incompetent. All you had to do was run the ball. Everyone already knew our defense was weak; so run the ball and keep our defense off the field. Foster was getting 7 or 8 yards per carry. Alabama had 8 in the box and they COULD NOT stop the run. I almost always favor a balanced attack, but clearly today was an exception. ALL WE NEEDED TO DO WAS RUN THE BALL. THEY COULD NOT STOP US. This was how be beat Georgia. But Cutcliffe has Ainge, and he just can't stand not throwing the ball. I love Ainge too, but Cutcliff and Fulmer let Ainge hand the game over to Alabama today, and we could not stop them. WHAT A SHAME. WHO IS IN CHARGE ANYWAY???

In our 4 wins, we ran, ran, ran. In our 3 losses, we quickly abandoned the run and gave the ball to Ainge. Every consistently good team in college football has balance on offense. When we are balanced, we are pretty good too. Sad thing was, we made ourselves one-dimensional. Alabama didn't even have to stop the run - we just gave up on our own. I'm no coach, but doesn't that seem like a poor plan? Our only hope was to use the clock and keep Alabama's very balanced offense off the field and we decide to throw every down. Wow. I think Cutcliffe got caught up in Wilson's career day and wanted to show his QB could light it up too. Unfortunately, it played us out of the game.

What is it with Cut and this obsession with trying a reverse for O'Neal? Isn't this the third time we've tried it this season and the third time it's failed?
And, no, I've never coached football. I've never played organized football. But I've been watching and playing neighborhood football since Jamie Rotella was wearing orange.
So I get to question using Creer on that third-and-one instead of Foster. My 10-year-old son could ask the same question.
Okay -- suppose Foster was winded. HOW ABOUT HARDESTY FOR ONE YARD, COACH CUT?
These guys oftentimes don't even have the starters ready to play, much less the younger ones when they get a chance.
What do we have to lose now, coaches? Play 'em all, especially the freshman and JUCO guys...nobody expects much from this team anymore.
You have made bad decisions on talent before, coaches...remember how our running game took off with Arian Foster when non-producing Gerald Riggs got injured?
It was clear to anyone with a pulse that Foster should have been out there from the beginning.

Fulmer is a good coach but the game has passed him by. His game is old and predictable. He lacks innovation and appears unable to meet the challenges posed by the coaches who are changing the way the game is played. He has become complacent and the team has suffered. Fulmer's teams talented though they may be are simply being outplayed because they are not prepared. It is as if the vols are prepared for a game of flag football, but not for tackle football and Fulmer, et.al. do not recognize the difference. Said another way, the vols continually bring a knife to a gun fight. It doesn't matter how good they are with a knife, they are overmatched by the guns.

“I do not think we played very well,” said Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer. “We helped them out a lot today. We'll look forward to putting this thing behind us.”
"We run open sets and threewide sets," Fulmer said. "And he's [Hardesty's] not a great pass receiver. At least we have better guys at that. So we didn't get him into the game and we should have. He's a good player."
“We’ve had our share of good fortune against them over a long period of time and today wasn’t our day,” UT Coach Phillip Fulmer said. “We got it handed to us. Big-time handed to us.”
“Obviously, you don’t like to lose a rivalry game by 24 points,” UT Athletic Director Mike Hamilton said. “The emotion of it, 30 minutes after the game, you’re very disappointed. So we got to pick it up, get back to work and see what we can do the rest of the way.”

You know I have been coming on this site for years and just never registered so i'll make this first post good.........Today I seen ''coaching'' get the Vols beat straight up coaching,it's hard to sit and watch the slow methodical death of a program when it was showing the old clips of us playing Bama we were always ranked in least the top 10 and sadly I think for now those days are over I'm a huge Fulmer fan and have stuck up for him for years but ''and i say this calmy''he has to go today coaching got us beat and as for Chavis what has happen to them all our recruiting has been 10 times better then theres yet we lose with top talent ''HE HAS TO GO''
chucker6 writes:
Coaching is F-. Unbelievable display of incompetence. I don't mind losing when the breaks go the other team's way (actually I hate losing period), but Tennessee's offense was superior to Bama's in the first half. It was poor coaching decisions and an incredible lack of spirit and aggressiveness on defense that beat us. Second half built on those weaknesses. UT games are now a mandatory TIVO (if any more are even televised) with a look only after I see what the score was. It is simply too painful to watch live anymore.

It would have taken some pressure off the offense if the defense was able to stop them. That was I believe worse than the Fla game. Ala made our defense look like a high school team. Is this the same team that ran all over Geogria and went on the road to beat Miss St? Something is missing here, this is the same team isn't it? I don't know who is worse, Fulmer or Chavis.

Excellent assessment Mr. Hooker. Although I'm not sure I would pin the lack of QB pressure on the D-line. With Alabama throwing quick passes (all day) to their receivers, our db's stood 10 yards back and let them establish their routes - and gave QB time to throw. The proper adjustment, that never occurred, would have been to bump their receivers with close coverage jamming them at the line of scrimmage to allow the D-line time to get to the QB - never happened. I'm blaming the lack of pressure on COACHING FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE EARLY STRATEGY AND ADJUST ACCORDINGLY.

Seems like there are competing issues here--VOL Pride, dreams of past greatness, and money. Our pride makes us want success, past greatness makes us dream of future glory, and money makes UT's administrators reluctant to buy out Phil's contract. First two are dead-on...but third factor is fraught with flawed logic! We won't go to a bowl game this year--or if we do it'll be a bottom-tier bowl...so much less in way of money...and recruiting suffers...and the self-peeling onion just keeps unravelling. IF we buy out Phil...just look at it as an investment! Hire a more modern coach (how about that guy at USF or Pat Hill at Fresno State or guy at Marshal or Ap State?) who can win with the talent at UT--which is STILL better talent-wise than KY---who is winning with Sanders for God's sake!---and we'll be back in the top 5 in 3 years.

killer65forevervol writes:
Just like I said in previous postings, right back to the same ol way of coaching the team that costs us games. 80% pass/ 20 run. Ball control, time of posession we did not have, just gave the ball to Alabama. Alabama is not that good but as much time they had the ball, they kept putting points on the board. Did Mr. Chavis go to sleep during the game? Where was defense? No swarming the ball, poor tackling and defensive backs went on Holiday. If we play like this, then I promise you, Vandy,SC and Kentucky will show no mercy. Somehow, we must face the facts that the current direction of UT football continues to not meet expectations.
volfan53 writes:
Well I hate to say it but it may be time for a coaching change. Fulmer has become too predicitable and the coaches in the SEC are beating him with lesser talent. We also lose some good recruits because they know it is very hard to play for Fulmer if you are a freshman. I like Phil and thank him for a great job but it is time to move on. Even the general would have had to give it up at some time.

ANYBODY that wants change MUST understand one thing. It WON'T happen until Mike Hamilton sees the ole bank account being effected OR the grass roots embarrassment from about 50,000 or more empty seats appears on national television. SO here's a plan - all you folks spending all that money to travel, eat, and stay in Knoxville for the remaining home games simply BOYCOTT! Yeah they already have our ticket money but they don't have have our concessions and souvenier (what a misnomer that is!) money. Take half of what you would spend on these remaining (and formerly enjoyable fall weekends) and donate it to the BUYOUTPHIL FUND! I guarantee there will be $5 mil waiting for Philip to sooth his pride after the upcoming KY debacle (sorry, I meant finale)! And the pub created from this week's half empty stadium in prime time will be hard to Big Mike to ignore regardless of how much money Haslem has!

DsaVol: You have got the right idea!!! 107K screaming fans must come to an immediate halt then it will get TN Alumni and Mr. Hamiltons attention. Wake up TN fans, stay at home or go to the sports bar and watch the game. When 50K or more fans are missing, it will start getting someones attention. I love UT football but this is disheartening on Saturdays and then to go to work on Monday and catch the flak from all my other SEC coworkers. Our players are better than this. More embarrassing, those who are setting on the bench not getting playing time. One question to all who read this blog??? How many of you can watch the game and 75% of the time tell what the next offensive play will be? I usually can and have done so ever since the Clausens came to town. Think back, 80% pass/20 run most of the time and that is where we lose ball games. To include, poor tackling and lack of aggressiveness.

This game illustrated what most fans hoped Tennessee had put behind it with its decisive win over Georgia.
A true embarassment for any Vol fan.
By the way, the letter grade scale doesn't tell the whole story, as there's a big difference from a 60 "F" and a 15 "F".
Overall the effort was probably deserved a 55 "F", but the d-backs deserve about a 25 and coaching deserves about 10.

I concur with everything said here today. I would like to add that Rogan had a nice run back and took a hell of a lick and got up. Also, Moore caught a couple of nice passes. Rogers had 4 catches for first downs and 0 drops. Lastly, when O'Neil came in the game(the only time he came in) my 9 yr old Daughter jumped up and said hey daddy their going to run a reverse. The spotted ape is in the game. Hell Alabamas whold D started jumpping up and down and pointing. If you want a reverse to work, you have to run it with the players that are always on the field. Or fake it a couple of times early, this way the entire d isnt ready.

I have been a vol fan for almost 40 years. I can honestly say that yesterday was the worst game of Big Orange football that I have ever witnessed. We were out played and out coached by a much lesser opponent. However, enough of the name calling etc. Phil has been loyal and worked hard for UT for the last 30+ years. I have been a loayal and ardent supporter of his but I do believe tht it is now time for a change for him and UT. I trust that he loves his UT enought to know this and do the respectable thing. I just hope that Hamilton will make the right choice to replace him. You know it will be hard if not impossible to ever find someone with blood running as orange as Coach Fulmer's. If he does decide to step down I wish him and his family well as I know he is a decent man deserving of a better ending.

vol4good: Exactly my point on calling the play from wherever you are watching the game. Glad to see your daughter can call the plays as well. Exactly what I have been saying. Fulmer's offense or is it Cutcliffe's???, is too predictable. But why did we play so good against Ga?? Who was calling the plays then? Why did we go back to mostly pass?? Again, time for a new coaching staff. Still playing and coaching the old way, No Inovation and too predictable. They are 8-tracks in a I-Pod world.

Remember, it's not the players... It the preparation, the game plan, the coaching, the lack of exuberance which should be initiated by involvement during the game with coaching staff. It's a dead sideline. Fulmers frowning, and gasping and wiping his brow is not exuberance. Regret to say this, but the Vols are not a force within the SEC anymore. All you Cutcliffe supporters can see that he is not really any better than Sanders was. The defensive backfield has to be the worse in the country. Why? just look at the coach. He should have been gone 3 years ago. Need a complete overhaul of the coaching staff, and if Fulmer stays he should be put on notice that there must be wholesale coaching changes. If he cannot do this get someone who can.

It is really amazing to see the other coaches in games show emotion and passion. Our players of old would be jumping on the sidelines encouraging the players on the field. We don't see anything like that here anymore. I am sure a lot of fans saw that the players just didn't look excited (or i may have missed it). I certainly didn't see any coaches get excited when we took a 14-10 lead where we could have gained the momentum and taken over the game. Likewise, Kentucky and Auburn fought every bit of the way with passion until the bitter end. At the end of the 3rd quarter in our game, you could see it start to slip away and giving up in the fourth. SOMETHING IS DEAD WRONG!

On Thursday, I had a long discussion about how Bama had no running backs and only one good receiver. Double team Hall, put one d back on the other guy who averages 25 yards a game and have the rest of the defense cover a pass or run depending on the situation. Yesterday, UT gave 8 yard cushions when it was clear that the Bama gameplan was quick drop and get rid of the ball. UT couldn't cover a high school receiver. Wilson is an average SEC quarterback who picked UT apart. They had secod teamers all over the field and UT can't make even one gameplan change on the go.
If I see another pass on 3rd and 2, I am going to puke! Foster averaged 8 yards a carry early on and two times we thew from shotgun on 3rd and 2!!!! WTF is going on?

volstout, nice post. No matter where you stand on Fulmer, he deserves respect. The man has been with this program in some capacity for 34 years. If the season continues the way it's going now, I predict he will likely step down with no regard to the mental midget rumblings of the type people who resort to disrespectful name calling. Phil flushes more class down the toilet every morning than any of these so called fans have.
I’m not happy about where our program is right now. I just feel we owe the chance of righting the ship to Fulmer if he feels he is up to it. It is the expectations of this program that he built we are holding him to. I also trust he will step down if he isn’t able to do so.
It is what happens afterwards that makes me worry. Tyranny of the new is overtaking college football and “what have you done for me lately” is the new rule of thumb. The fans on this site want to replace someone who eats, breaths, and bleeds orange with the next Bobby Petrino who builds a program for their resume instead of love of the university and team. Petrino has never been with the same team as a coach for more than four years, Saban’s longest tenure is 5 years, and Urban Meyer is now enjoying his longest stint as a HC in his 3rd season. These type coaches experience success, bolt for the big bucks in the NFL, and leave the school faithful without a second thought. But hey, at least that got that NC!
Maybe the game has passed me by. College sport used to be about tradition, school pride, and honor. According to the majority of folks on here, it is only about winning. It’s all they talk about. It’s never about the young men playing the game unless it is to bash them. This may as well be the NFL. I stopped watching that league five years ago because it was no longer about the teams or the fans. It became about the players, unions, and coaches and the drama that surrounded them. It will be a sad day when I can’t enjoy watching college sports for the same reasons.

Fulmer is out. He knows it. Hamilton knows it. The "Haslams" know it. They are simply playing politics. I believe Fulmer and Hamilton had a agreement before the season and of course it does not involve 3 or 4 losses. They're not going to fire him in the middle of the season. Even if he won out, he's gone. Meanwhile, Hamilton has a name or two, but will wait for the end of the season for a bucket full of names. They will name Fulmer "special assistant to" something for a million a year and then in two years he will go away.

I agree with most that the time has arrived for this coaching staff to be replaced. I've actually played on the college level, many years ago at Murray State. We had a who's who coaching staff from 79-82, Mike Gottfried was the head coach, Frank Beamer was the D coordinator, Ralph Freidgen was the O line coach, and Ron Zook was the secondary/special teams coach. I know a thing or two about this game and I know we were exceptionally well coached at Murray. I think all of you recognize these names and the point I want to make is that coaching is absolutely paramount at any level. The type of player we have at UT today is a much different breed. Frankly, I don't see these kids having much heart or passion. They've been told how great they are in high school and suddenly they arrive at UT and realize they are no where near prepared to play at this level. Just look at yesterday's debacle in the secondary. Two clueless freshman and a so called all SEC safety in Heffney were routinely burned. Why? That's where coaching comes into play. Look at Auburn for a moment and ask yourselves if their talent is as good as ours. On paper it appears not, but on the field, where it matters, they are superior. Why? Because they are well coached. What would happen if we went to Tiger Stadium this year? We'd be dead after the first quarter. Auburn lost on the last play of the game. I'm convinced that our program needs a complete overhaul. Jim Leavitt looks like a great candidate as would several others.
