So.....how well do you think the walk-on QB would have done while laying on his back or running for his life?
Apparently you didn't watch the same game I did.

I watched the game that's why I posted what I did.  Evidently you don't know as much about football as you think and could see what others are pointing if you weren't such a Homer.

You can try to place the blame elsewhere but it all starts with the QB and yes if the QB roles were reversed and JG played for Georgia and Georgia's walk on QB had played for TN the out come of the game would have been totally different.

Their guy is a play maker while JG is an excuse maker.  People keep making excuses for him.

Here's how I feel and what I am......
I admit I'm  a homer, a die hard  fan regardless of wins or losses.
UT has enough critics who choose to call the coaches names like "TaterHead" and our AD "Phat Phil".
It that makes you feel better about yourself..knock yourself out.
The critics are what got us into the sad state of affairs we're been in.
Firing one coach after another, criticizing everything that happens has prevented coaches we've gone after to decline.
Pruitt is not flashy, he's not a Mike Leach or other headline grabbing coach out there, but he knows football. He's a good coach and given time we'll be back where we belong.
His career and reputation are on the line everytime we take the field and if he thinks JG is the best possible QB at this time then I trust his judgement.
Second guessing coaches and coaching decisions is a hobby a lot of people enjoy.....it's just not what I choose to do even when I do get frustrated with the outcome.
I'll never publically criticize a player and think it doesn't relfect well on anyone who does.
Now...you're free to call be a sunshine pumper, a homer, an apologist whatever comes to mind but that's the way I feel and not planning on changing.

Admirable stance, road. 

But there is no harm in questioning coaching decisions.  Dooley was a fool.  And so was Jones.  They didn’t earn any fan trust, and were rightfully fired. 

Coaches aren’t gods, and they make plenty enough to take some heat.

And JG sucks.  Period.  He is like 28 years old by now.  Not a kid.  He can take it too....on a message board among fans.  I’d never disparage him to his face out of decorum. 

I agree on Pruitt.  He knows football, and he should get more time.  He better get that QB thing figured out pretty quick though, else his benefit of the doubt, and goodwill, get exhausted. 

I didn't say anything about questioning coaches....lol
Every fan is a wannabe coach....including myself.

sure you did.  I didn’t make it up.

Pruitt >>>> Dooley, Jones.

Not enough >>>> signs.  

Not sure the bandwidth is available to stress the difference.

I meant by going on fan boards and criticizing every decision and calling coaches and players juvenile names.
It really doesn't help and just gives other fan boards reason to laugh at us.

I am guilty. 

Fortunately, we aren’t alone.  Every fan base does it.  So we are all fools.

One could opine that we are even stupider by arguing in futility over politics, day after day.

But, it’s entertaining.  Even if fruitless.  😎

I see Miss State managed 2 points against UK yesterday, and lost to Arky last week.
