Seeing a UT tailback (Ingram) getting caught from behind after having a 15 yard running head start! Embarrassing. Lack of speed contributes to this abysmal running attack, and screen game.
I think Ingram was hurt on the whee route pass in the 1st quarter. You could tell he was laboring on that run. Could not put in Johnson because he injured his shoulder. Ingram has good speed even though his main asset is cutting. Give the kid a break, nobody on this board feels as bad as he does about that fumble. Without him, we would not have been on the 1. There are other plays where mistakes cost us too. How about Smith dropping that pass on a cross when there was nothing but green in front of Him. You could point to C Jones wondering around pass the line of scrimmage wiping out a big gain where we would have scored points. I would also put up for discussion the play calling late in the fourth with 2 stuffed runs and a short pass before giving the ball back. There is a lot that went wrong. The bottom line is we are poorly coached. This season is on the coaching staff.
