The Official #5 Tennessee @ South Carolina Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[bpalmer28]

I better never see an orange helmet again. These players are not focused at all. Their heads are in the clouds thinking they’re hot ****

 

[lifeisdeep]

Think about how many DCs have been fired at the end of a game when they at least got stops here and there on some possessions. We have given up TDs every possession. If Banks and Martinez aren’t fired tonight we’ve got the wrong coach. Any DC in the FBS could do better than this ****.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

One of the worst offenses in the Power 5 might score 60-70 on us tonight. I’m trying to let that sink in but it’s just so embarrassing.

 

[patrick]

Going to lose this game unless banks does something different.

Worst defense I’ve ever seen.

 

[landscapingvol]

#8 is more concerned with engaging with someone than trying to stop the runner.

He is embarrassingly bad but don’t blame Tim Banks, after all we are missing one player lol you can’t expect a d-coordinator to game plan around one injury

 

[TheMRIguy]

Style points

 

[Other_Guy]

I blame the idiots for saying how easy this game would be. Karma.

Not my job to show up and play defense.

 

[SmashMouth]

whew...that sucked

 

[first time caller]

Welp. We can put the playoff talk to bed.

Defensive team playing tonight doesn't belong in the playoffs

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Absolutely ridiculous. Hadden literally just stood there and let a freakin QB catch a ball in front of him rather than attack the ball.

Nobody is attacking the ball. We’re not dictating anything, just patty cake bull$hit

 

[Matt2496]

This is a talent/athleticism issue.

Against South Carolina? Really? LOL

 

[WesternNCVol]

Nah

You called it. Dang.

 

[allvols4life]

Defense is pathetic tonight. They're kickin our ass

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

The obvious problem with the defense is the orange helmets.

 

[vols40]

The slowness is because they're confused. They're confused because they're not prepared. Yes, our defense is thin, but that is no excuse for the piss poor performance tonight. This is 100% on the coaches.

Lol. You gotta love our middle school girl mentality fans

 

[Vol4Life2289]

Did our coaches even watch SC play Florida last week? It should not be that hard to use some of Florida’s gameplan…

 

[bravesvolsfan]

 

[Memphisvol87]

Not with losses to USCjr or Vandy, no.

I’d be back to negavol pruitt status if we drop these

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

28 ****ing points to the worst offense in the conference. Get the **** out of here Tim Banks and don’t come back

Yea I’ve been trying to defend him all year, but this is inexcusable. I mean all year we’ve been suspect on d and now this? Gtfo!!

 

[VOLFan65]

This game isn’t over. Lots of football. I don’t think they sustain this offense.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Heupel will have to get this defense fixed if he's gonna get us to championship level. It's just that simple. Banks ain't gonna cut it.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Anything they want…. Pummeling, shredding, steam rolling, embarrassing, dismantling, destroying ….. corn holing

Thats why I always think its weird people play that game in the South...

 

[90 Vol]

I want to apologize to everyone that I chastised for saying that Tennessee wasn’t a playoff caliber team because apparently, they’re not.

 

[Volbrando]

Ok let’s go boys.

 

[Vawlranger88]

Dude shutup.

Ok explain….?
