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

[AustinMem]

Perfect chance to practice 2 minutes offense...Pruitt puts backup QB in. Jeez. Head scratcher.

I am actually good with it. See if Chryst can give a spark and lead UT in a 2 minute drill to a TD. This is a meaningless game. Putting in Chryst now when we are trying to see if doing something different can lead to something is better than searching for answers next week (or the week after, or the week after, or the week after that.....)

Oh. It’s about to get ugly in locker room

think he will go all coach Buddy Stevens on them?

 

[EODVOL]

"Tennessee looks good. No pass rush and we will have huge problems. We made Wilson look all-sec so Guarantino could look even better. "

"Pruitt has them pointed in the right direction. I cannot see how we would be favored. UT has played a similar schedule probably better when you think of how good West Virginia is, they are far more physical than us, have at least the same talent as us, playing at home, and have a better QB than us, and have a great young coach. "


From the Florida foum: Reading volnation you'd think it was doomsday next week

I can only pray it will be doomsday for them, don't want to spend a small fortune next week for nothing. Still have PTSD from last years game.

CJP is gonna completely lose his s*** in the locker room. Lol

Hopefully somebody loses it on him too. For that dumb coaching the last 2 minutes.

 

[Behr]

Good to see you behr. FYP by the way.

Hey Butch, good to see you too.

Lulz. How you doing man? Last I remember you were going through a tough time personally, things heading in a better direction?

 

[The Original Fade]

Chryst hit the receiver in the chest and he dropped it

Dude he bounced it off his knee. Just stop your JG hate, he’s the least of our problems

 

[CountVolcula]

Pshhhh, I drove 3 hours from Georgia for this offensive explosion.

Thots and Prairs to you

 

[VolsSportsFan]

CJP is gonna completely lose his s*** in the locker room. Lol

Apparently needs to lose it on himself.

 

[GetEmVols]

10-0 is the score at the half against the worst team in college football.

 

[Wylo]

This team sucks. UTEP??

 

[BJSforVols]

Pruitt looks pissed

Is that why he quit on the team on the last offensive series of the half?

 

[John Wick]

Did I just hear them say that UNLV scored on their first 8 possessions against this same UTEP team? Uh...wow.

 

[BP4Prez]

CJP is gonna completely lose his s*** in the locker room. Lol

Likely so but he didn’t help matters the last two minutes.

 

[butler5]

Chryst with 2minutes to go, is a head scrather

 

[lexkyvol]

Lol I don't disagree with the throw. But honestly Johnson has to catch it. That's 3 that have hit hin and he hadn't caught them (JG threw 2 to him that he missed)

but, but , but...and that ball chryst threw damn near broke johnson's shins....

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

How many points do the Vols score after the locker room arse chewing?

I'm guessing 38.

 

[KBVol]

Now do you all see why JG is our QB?

8-10 for 140 yards, with the 2 incompletions being drops by Brandon Johnson. What do you mean?

He’s the reason why Drew Richmond has 2 bad penalties, why Banks fumbled at the goal line and why Callaway fumbled that punt. He can’t read a defense and just stares Callaway down on every play, including on defense and special teams. Surely to God JP will sit him in the second half so we’ll have a shot to win.

 

[panhandlevol]

There is no energy out there at all. Hopefully they are playing down to these teams but I think we only win 3 this year

 

[ButchPlz]

With 1:45 left to go in the half??? I try not to play arm chair QB, but you have to question that considering the point in the game in which it was.

To me it's just terrible coaching. You've got a QB in a groove looking sharp, a game that's still way too close for comfort, and you put in the backup? That just ignites controversy for no benefit.

 

[EODVOL]

Nope, not playing arm chair just qouting the guys calling the game on SECN. Guess i should have used italics.

 

[AustinMem]

He’s not an OT. Never has been. He’s a LG prospect. He’s played OT out of necessity. However, Tatum/Hall are about to have every chance to win that RT position.

They need to hurry.
Also, pretty sure he was recruited to be an OT. I remember some talk about him anchoring LT before we got Smith.

 

[TN Outlaw]

I think we shock the world and win this game!

 

[Mightyvol]

How can this team win a SEC game? Just put two tight ends to play right it.

 

[utvolkyle]

UNLV scored 8 touchdowns out of 10 positions last week. Let that sink in.

 

[CountVolcula]

I expect us to come out of the locker with more intensity

I think they had it in their minds we would just roll over them and had Florida week on their minds
