Game Over at 4th & 1


It was clear to me the game ended when Fulmer opted to punt the ball away at 4th & 1. Not going for it spoke volumes. The game clearly went down hill from there. Any spark that the team had put together during the first half had been extinguished.

My hats off to Nick Stephens, he had some great passes. No interceptions, a couple close calls though. He probably would have been even better had Fulmer started playing him much sooner. Yet another bonehead move on his part. Too bad they ran Randy Sanders off, he could really be an asset to this young man. At least the “G-gun” was limited.

While the defense stood tough, there are some issues there too. The coverage there is also too predicable. But they did play hard for as long as they could. Plays on both sides of the ball are just old and stale.

The rumbling in this house are that Fulmer will be gone after this, sadly, I don’t think so. Some of the other rumblings are not fit for print. I had a momentary flash of Mike Hamilton burning up the phone lines trying to find a new coach, but it was just a brief glimmer of hope. It tough to be a Vol in Alabama.
