    Why field a punt at your 10 and you can run the clock out no matter what? Ask the ST coach about that…simple stuff that can cost you 7 points

    What a huge stop so they can't double up scores since they get 2nd half kick. A stop to begin the 2nd half would really deflate UT

    cyberdyne and ApexNC explain yourselves. He's much better than AR and better looking as well.

    Billy showed us a lot by seeing the potential in Armstrong. Win or lose, This defense is for real.

    Great 1st half. And don’t look now but our defense has been pretty consistent for 10 quarters. These guys looking for real. Especially in the front 7

    Great first half performance by you guys. I almost had to ask myself the question; is Butch Jones our coach again? :)

    So almost done with 3 weeks of games, are we safe to say that that Mertz is near a top 3 qb in the SEC instead of last as thought at the beginning of the year?

    you bled so much clock and converted on so many third downs, I’m still angry about it.
