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

[Frozevol]

Jeremy Banks being out is killing us.

I missed it why is he out?

 

[joevols89]

Makes about as much sense as you saying you seen it from a mile away. I mean hell we all expected South Carolina to score 4 tds on their first four possessions. Lol

I expected USCjr to come out and look good against us with a good chance to win, not score 4 TDs in 20 mins. Team overconfident and talking **** on social media.

 

[SlipKidVol]

I'm really shocked..

 

[Allvols98]

What are the odds that Carolina punts tonight?

None

 

[ButchPlz]

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

Not taking a shot at the QB there is an embarrassment. No nuts.

 

[BLEBYU]

My BVS is acting up BAD!

 

[Dudleys87]

This day in college football makes zero sense to me

Any given Saturday still rings true apparently

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

.........That's EXACTLY what I was afraid of

Seems like he's come alive at the end of the year!!! We better come up with a better game plan ASAP!!!

 

[rocketskates]

I’ve been in Banks corner and said he doesn’t have the players but this is just indefensible.

I’m with you. Tried everything I could to defend the man, but these are BASIC plays and we have no answer for it.

 

[Vol8188]

People forget so quick, but this is exactly what his d looked like.

Yep. This is why none of us expected to be here today. Because we realized we still had the defense of a 5-6 win team. But I still think we turn this around tonight

 

[VOLifornia]

We will be jumped Tuesday. There will be no one drop above us but we will surely drop, especially if LSU and USC even get close to their spread and win.

 

[Jaingo]

Team deserves to lose right now. Pathetic. Run your mouth all week and all game and then every time you actually get hit in the mouth you do nothing about it. Gamecocks offense look like men playing a bunch of little boys.

I don't know that the players or staff run their mouths. That's this board, lol.

That said this is pretty embarrassing, but at least Rattler is finally living up to his 5 star.

 

[djohnnyg]

We have to get a better defense to be considered a top 4 team. Our defense is garbage.

 

[Kylo]

Watching all you babies crying is hilarious. You are so weak. It's literally not even halftime. If South Carolina keeps this up, it is what it is. There's no chance they keep this pace up.

 

[A Typical Vol Fan]

Jury is out on Banks, but Martinez has got to go. All season long this has been what it’s been. All season.

 

[tnvols72]

This is a talent/athleticism issue.

Bull crap, a good coach can put players in the right position regardless. Martinez is a joke and Banks is not much better. Are you saying this is on the players and they can only coach up 4* and 5*?

 

[teeball]

There is no way in hell this team is going to get any more consideration by the CFP committee after this showing. And quite frankly that may be a good thing considering what the other top teams would do to this pathetic defense. Sad, sad, sad.

 

[zaqhhh]

I can already hear the “Tennessee Vols, what happened” TikToks

 

[DC_Vol]

Worst defensive display I have seen in several years. No heart no drive no fn nothing.

get them the hell out play a damn backup.

Dooley-esque

 

[FLVOL_79]

9-3 is a pretty good season yall.

 

[joevols89]

9-3 or 10-2 is still a really good season.

Not with losses to USCjr or Vandy, no.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Missing Banks

 

[Delmar]

We don’t deserve to be in the playoffs with this crap.

We’ll that’s for sure if this keeps up.

 

[kptvol1]

This is so damn embarassing. South Carolina has been **** all year long on offense and the Gamecocks have 28 points and 300 yards of offense in 1.5 quarters. WHAT A JOKE.

I almost hit “like” because you’re right, but I HATE that you’re right.

 

[Allvols1996]

This is Pathetic

Honestly surprised more teams haven’t exposed Banks. He’s terrible. The problem is The biggest criticism of Heupel is that he is completely uninvolved on defense. Same thing was happening with Randy Shannon at UCF. Getting the UT job saved him have from having to fire his DC.
