I widh I could play Poker with Phil Fulmer

Me: Hey Phil its on you
Phil: I know, I’m thinking, uhh I fold.
Me: Phil you down big time what are you gonna do?
Phil: I know but there is no way I can hit the card I need, so I fold.
Me: Phil all I had was Jack high but I knew you would fold..If you wanna win at this game you gotta GAMBLE!!!!!
Saturday against Auburn in the second half at some point Fulmer has to realize he is still losing the game. I don’t care if it only by two points you still have to score to win the game. With the new clock rules you cant sit back and play the flip the field game. Plus Tennessee had flipped the field as much as they could. The offense could not get the team in field goal range. AT SOME POINT YOU GOTTA GAMBLE and try to score and win. If you are so confident in the defense then go for it on Fourth down and then stop Auburn. I know its not what you would do all the time. But when your losing you have to score. Fulmer played the second half like he was ahead by two touchdowns.
Crompton is just terrible. I believe he is single handily responsible for the loss of two games. UCLA and Auburn. I’m a pretty understanding guy and I don’t like for people to fail, but Crompton has done it to himself and Tennessee football is bigger then him. The offense cannot be any worse right now if my 14 year old son was under center.
I thought going into this game the only way Fulmer can win this game is to change things up and gambled a bit. Instead he played one of the most conservative games of his career. The worst thing about it is Auburn was beatable on Saturday because they had no offense either and defense played hard.
Our defense played great except for the dreaded 3rd and long. When is Chavis going to learn. If you saw the replay there was absolutely no reason for Auburns receiver to be that wide open at the end of the game when stopping them was your only chance to win. If Auburn makes a great play then there is nothing you can do but when you allow the receiver 15 yards and he only needs 5 your giving it to them.
There was a shot of Clawson in the booth after Cromptom threw a ball 50 Yards out of bounds. I could read his lips. He leaned back and said ‘WOW” I have to believe he was thinking to himself that he cant believe this is the only QB he can work with. Watch out Clawson your getting real close to becomeing the scapegoat for this season.
Im sure it will be interesting on talk radio this week.
