The Unofficial Tennessee @ South Carolina Game Thread, 7:30pm ET, SEC Network

[Cartervol]

Kicking field goals in 30 mph wind killed our momentum. Conservative Bs.

 

[1985Vols]

If we lose this game is squarely on Butch Jones shoulders. The 2 FG attempts into a 20 mph wind are two of the stupidest calls I have seen since Dooley was here. The first one I might forgive but to try it again on 3rd and 1 ? Can't understand how coaches can get paid $3M a year to make such dumb decisions.

 

[Spartacavolus]

* the Marlin Lane tap dance. Our game ended there. From 1st and 10 and momentum, to a missed fg on a ***** call by Butch.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Is the coaching staff blocking on 3rd and 1 or kicking our field goals? You're dumb, shut up.

To think the coaching is nothing to do with how we're playing is also stupid

 

[uttom300]

Unbelievable. Horrible D. It gonna win like this. Butch better go all out in the 4th.

 

[KappinSpaulding]

This D went from being world beaters to this....wtf? I know the SC offense if good but damn.

 

[orangerush]

Coaches are still trying to learn how to win

 

[90 Vol]

We may want to consider covering Cooper. He only accounted for 200 yards of SC offense. Just a suggestion.

 

[Underachievers]

Another game where one player dominates our d. Where is Cam Sutton?

 

[SimplyOrange]

It was a bad decision both times and I'm not second guessing. I called the miss before each one. Also predicted they would come back to score a td. Very likely those bad decisions will cost us this game.

 

[joevol33]

Those fg's are our doom tonight. We've got to score and get momentum. Our defense is almost absent.

 

[GetEmVols]

Being a Vol fan is like being cremated before you're dead.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

So tired of Tenn finding ways to lose

 

[25801VOL]

I'm so tired of watching this crap. Cooper again. Really? Do we make adjustments? We have more talent than USCe so that argument doesn't work, we had more talent than UF.

 

[blackmon]

Why is Coleman always the one defending Cooper?

I have yet to see him defend Cooper tonight.

 

[SGMVols]

I hate to say it but this game has really got me to thinking about Butch and this staff.

The only difference between Jones and Dooley is the recruiting. But the recruiting won't last much longer without wins.

 

[ThreatLevelVol]

why is coleman not defending cooper?

fyp

 

[Chad F]

Right on schedule, this team turns to soft mush on defense, allowing the opponent to reclaim the momentum as our offense fails - miserably - to score with two excellent opportunities.

This team only knows how to lose. I hope they figure out a way to win tonight. Come on, Vols!!!!!!!

 

[tngivem6]

Atleast we get the wind in the 4th qrt

 

[volinbama256]

cooper in between 3 vols and no one covers him..... wow.. this is the worst winnable football game i really think i have seen in my life..... embarrassing to be a vol right now. another moral victory for this no-nut coach and JV coaching staff....zero adjustments and sissy play calling. Game over to start the 4th.

 

[615vols]

This loss tonight is on Butch and coaches. Period.

Yep. Just like vandy last year and Florida this year.

 

[bam025]

Play to win. Don't play to keep it close. Run the effing ball on this 4th and 1 bull**** and quit trying to kick a ****ing field goal in a tornado

 

[OrangeFrog]

4th quarter still to go. UT used to be a second half team. We have to respond right now though

 

[DD4ME]

Wait for the long clock eating scoring drive by the gamecocks.

I was 1/2 wrong.

 

[knoxvol16]

So we are going to lose

Yes, if they keep playing the way they have so far in this half.
