The Official Tennessee vs. Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Fans booing. Nice.

After that half, well deserved.

 

[FLVOL_79]

I would hate to see the outcome of we didn't practice

They play like they practice. Fact.

 

[The Original Fade]

What else can possibly go wrong?

Please don’t ask

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

I don't see it. Not this time

 

[UTK]

Has Florida had a drive over 20 yds

Uh yeahhhh.

 

[Matt2496]

Fans booing. Nice.

They deserve to be booed for this kind of effort in a rivalry game.

 

[NYCVolunteer]

I'm not a offensive guru, but can someone honestly explain why we cant go in the shotgun and do quick hitters until they stop it?

 

[CoachClick]

I will agree with others...and this is the 100% truth...
That was the worst half of football I've seen from the Vols in my 40+ years of watching.

 

[Dergibvol]

Hey, now we get to honor the 98' national champs at halftime! 20 years ago feels like 200.

Any chance they have any eligibility left

 

[igotworms]

I am totally not in the mood for Pruitt's BS tough guy postgame.

Pretty sure there's a way to avoid it tho

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

What else can possibly go wrong?

Giving Pruitt an extension. .

 

[orangealways]

Thank you pride of the south land .
Only thing worth watching

Austin Pope killing us. Earlier drive in fl territory on a 3rd and 1 he’s the fullback on a dive play and touched nobody. Settled for 3. Then fumbles thru end zone for touchback. Cost us 7. Then we’re driving with chance to cut it to two scores, he gets 15 yard hands to face, puts us in obvious passing downs and they knock JG out of the game. Chryst comes in and fumbles the snap. Fl drives down and scores again. On a team playing really bad football he stands out

Pope also wiffed his block on the safety.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

This is the perfect representation of Haslam/Fulmer leadership

Don't Haslem and Fulmer hate each other? I thought Haslem got Fulmer fired.

 

[Freak]

After that half, well deserved.

Meh, I'm just not a fan of booing college athletes. That's just me. I know a lot of others feel differently, obviously.

 

[IhateGA]

There is no way you can blame Pruitt for this bs. He has tried everything to put the game in the players hands and they shat the bed every time. Not one single player is stepping up. Defense actually looks good

I'm sorry, but at a certain point Pruitt is to blame as well. he hired Helton, who has made some awful calls this whole season. There is no excuse for playing this poorly all year. As bad as these players are, they are getting curb stomped by a Florida team that is as bad as we are. It's complete horse@#$%.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Players are literally trying to do way to much. Just play football and Heltons calls are questionable.

 

[JCHateSteve]

So, who are we blaming? Just trying to get my facts straight

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Fans booing. Nice.

Well. Should they cheer

 

[Dergibvol]

I'm not offensive guru, but can someone honestly explain why we cant go in the shotgun and do quick hitters until they stop it?

Because we can't have nice things

 

[37620VOL]

Did we punt that half?

 

[JohnD13]

So, who are we blaming? Just trying to get my facts straight

Anyone in orange and white

 

[orangerush]

Fans booing. Nice.

perhaps the fans should applaud to set the tone for the second half

 

[Freak]

Pope also wiffed his block on the safety.

He whiffed on one of the short yardage plays we needed too. I forget which.

 

[UTK]

Well, didn't we have 7 against Texas A&M 2 years ago?

Well half way to breaking the record
