I'm positive I saw Junior in the stands last night. I am not kidding. He was not with Lulu. Trouble in paradise?

My biggest disappointment of the game was Jalston's fumble. I hate that for that kid. He has been such a team player and they finally give him the ball and he dropped it (he did get a first down run tho before the fumble). Hopefully, he will get another chance. He definitely looked good hitting the hole hard and running north south with no hesitation, if he had just held on to the ball. And to clarify my disappointment was for Jalston not at Jalston.
It seems our offense comes out on fire and then fizzles out. I wonder if that's because the first 15-20 plays are scripted and then after that CLK has to call plays based on flow of the game..
This does make sense, but it doesn't excuse the defense to not being able to make their tackles like they should've. They did adjust to Dobbs in 4th quarter. I think going forward, we won't make the same mistakes against LSU and their quarterback.
You want my honest opinion? I really don't think that's it? I think the field condition played a role in this. On top of that, I noticed our receivers and Rbs were having issues slowing down, speeding up and etc... I need to watch the video again to confirm this.
Re: Dobbs. I think our front four focused too much trying to sack him and ran by him several times. This, combined w/missed/poor tackling gave him the yards. For a while our play against "running" QBs has been to have a controlled rush, not going past the QB; contain and tackle when they commit. Seems like we forgot about that agains TN. I'm sure the D line will be reminded of that from now on.
I feel better about the defense having heard Coach Saban explain that they couldn't use the scheme they had planned. Dobbis is a baller.
Also, I don't know if our D has ever faced a QB who doesn't have any eyebrows. :biggrin:

The only problem with that is that this was his first game as a starting qb. We had no play history on him to which to adjust.
UT has a pretty good qb in this young man!
Yeah, several players admitted that Dobbs was unexpected and it took them three quarters to adjust to him. WE were so focused on Peterman/Worley and we didn't think Dobbs was going to play. So, If We had adjusted we would've stopped him. But still, we have experiences of adjusting, so I don't know why it took us so long to adjust to him, We should've figured him out at the half time. But I definitely like Dobbs. I hope they develop him into a good qb, because dude has the talent and the " it" factor to lead the team. Of course, he won't be starting this year.
It was like that with Tebow in 08. Then in 2009 the DL and Lbs stayed disciplined. It is all about discipline and maintaining YOUR assignment. It also helps to have a beast mode secondary.
What I still don't understand is why we didn't put some work in on Dobbs, since the word out of K-ville was so discouraging towards Worley playing. Maybe our intel was just bad...

Vols to start Nathan Peterman at QB
I guess they expected to see more of Peterman.
Saban told Eli during the pregame show the team planned for Worley to play. He told him after the game the plan was to defend against Worley, which is why Dobbs was able to be effective. Twice he says the team prepared for Worley to start/play. Seems like there wasn't even preparation for Peterman.What I still don't understand is why we didn't put some work in on Dobbs, since the word out of K-ville was so discouraging towards Worley playing.

I don't see how because I heard twice on public broadcasts that there was a possibility Dobbs' RS for the season would come off if Peterman was ineffective taking JW's place. Heck, Coach Jones even said that!What I still don't understand is why we didn't put some work in on Dobbs, since the word out of K-ville was so discouraging towards Worley playing. Maybe our intel was just bad...
I think Peterman and Worley are similar types of qbs, I may be wrong, but thats what I thought I heard at some point.
