The Official Tennessee vs. UTEP Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Johnson with 2 drops.....

 

[DustyRockSolid]

I agree. JG isn’t the problem right now.

I don't understand these guys. Out of all the things to complain about, they choose JG? The guy who has had solid play so far.

 

[BeardedVol]

As bad as Florida is right now, they'd beat us handily if they were on the field instead of UTEP.

 

[GAVol]

Reality hit me seeing it in person. We're not good at all.

It's flat out depressing if you focus on the interior linemen. DTs are being them on nearly every play.

 

[PowerT.]

we may win 8 games in juco

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Saban will call off the dogs out of respect for Pruitt but Kirby may hang 60 on us

Uhhh Sabans teams rarely put 60 point beat downs and Saban was good friends and respected Derek Dooley and that did nothing for us. All these coaches are going to get the game out of reach then their personality will come forward not respect for other coaches. Saban will control clock and I think Kirby may also. 38-50 points by either team is what we will be looking at.

 

[Alex10]

Sunshine pumpers alive and well today.

I know right? It’s crazy to me every game day thread for years you’ve got these guys popping in telling everyone who is down on the team that they are idiots, welp guess what the ones who have been negative have also been for the very most part spot on whilst the ones popping in every thread condemning those people have been absurdly wrong over and over and over. Yet they still have the audacity to come in every thread and spew ignorance. It’s actually quite unbelievable to me.

 

[chieftn15]

Where were the linebackers on 3rd and 8

 

[FLVOL_79]

Pretty low energy...not surprised.

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

Because we are throwing crossing routes that take time to develop....JG has time....but we aren’t throwing it vertical

So receivers are running crossing routes back and forth across line of scrimmage?

 

[peaygolf]

Is the OVC looking to expand membership? Two teams I care about might need to inquire.

 

[tnvols72]

I really thought we would see better improvement from game 1 to 3 but I am not seeing it

 

[vol4220]

Are we holding back and not showing much to Florida or do we suck this bad?

 

[MurphyVol]

Haha our fan base gets so butt hurt when you express an opinion different from their own. It's laughable. JG fan boys are strong in this thread Again he stares down his targets and everyone know that Callaway will be his go to guy. Two years ago JJ was our best reciever and now everyone is on the Callaway train. Could it be that we have two great receivers but our QB has a favorite?

He was our best receiver two years ago? Malone had twice the production. JJ is solid, but not the myth people built him into based on 3 catches

 

[Bauce]

Yikes. I miss vols football being fun to watch. More of a pain/chore now.

Then don't watch...pretty simple

 

[rocketskates]

As bad as Florida is right now, they'd beat us handily if they were on the field instead of UTEP.

Yeah I’m getting some creeping doubts about next week. Sunday morning I thought to myself we could beat Florida, now I’m not so sure.

 

[orangerush]

someone light a fire

 

[BIGAL27]

I don’t think we have the horses up front on either side of the ball. When you’re bad up front, the rest of the team looks worse.

We have talent right now like vandy back in the 90's

 

[TAF]

3rd and long...

AND...

 

[508mikey]

another slow start

time for a weather delay

looked like some dark clouds on that camera shot

 

[butler5]

Did our guys even actually workout under But h Jones?

 

[captain chaos]

we are a program that is starting over from 0. 3 wins is a real possibility.

 

[PowerT.]

3rd and 9 YOU HAVE TO STOP THEM

 

[VolNExile]

Do us all a favor and step on a lego.

not taking sides here, but that's great

 

[illinoisvolfan1]

We’re not beating Florida. I don’t care how bad they are, there is no way they’re worst than us.

Agree. I dread that stretch of UGA AU Bama. Could be the worst three games in history
