The Official Tennesssee @ #2 Georgia Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[JMSqb11]

Believe what you want. They were giving up 5-7 yds a run and not tackling. Knowing that if they get a 3 and out we have a chance.

Then not stopping them the entire time they ran the ball down the field is called not having heart.

Edit: our defense let them burn about 8mins off the clock.

Our offense has held the ball all of 20 minutes this game. No reason our defense should be tired, right?

 

[Voltopia]

It's a shame the game of football is measured on running the ball, passing the ball, catching the ball, and tackling people with the ball, because Georgia is just better than Tennessee at all of those things.

Compare UGA’s recruiting to our recruiting the last 5 years. We just can’t hang, but I saw some fight on the D

 

[84Volfan]

Don't be a hater

Hahahahahaha

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Just confirming you think 37 minutes (UGA) to 20 minutes (UT) isn’t a big discrepancy and there is no reason our defense would be gassed because of this? Idiot.

So you base bad tackling and allowing continued rushes for first downs as being gased am I correct?

 

[17Vols]

Look on the bright side, we’re still covering the spread...

 

[KBVol]

I think I agree with this

You shouldn’t. Georgia was disinterested having to play an FCS team. That explains the score more than anything Tennessee has done. And that’ll be born out the next 3 games when we get blown out all 3 games.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Something must be done about heltons playcalling.

 

[Sarms58]

Um their running game is kicking us in the teeth not his passing

Now it is...when the ran on 3rd and long they had around 120 rushing...now they are over 200...

 

[KeyVol14]

His defense let Georgia March down the field when all they needed was a stop to keep the Vols in the game.

They were tired. They played there butts off all day long

 

[Zues1]

If we kick the XP both times we are 24-14

Correct, the first 2 pt play was unnecessary and had the look of panic.

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

that's not going to happen

I said if.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Yep only down 19 now

You rather be down by 41 in Neyland?

we were 33 point underdogs against the number 2 team in the country on the road. The defense has played their hearts out and the offense showed signs of life.

I wish all the smart alecks would just go ahead and be Bammer fans. You all would have made great Butch Jones recruits with your attitudes.

Go Vols

 

[benzod]

Now they spend more time reviewing an official getting injured than they did an earlier targeting call that was obvious.

Good game ref, way to stay physical.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

In the old days we would dominate line like this

 

[joevol33]

We hung in there. Turned out better than I thought it would.

But a loss is a loss.

I'm shocked we scored, twice!

 

[orangerush]

Take his mic

 

[realist]

Yep. The loss is inevitable. Just wanting someone to plant Mays on his ass and we get one more score.

Jeez....let it go. Kid made the best decision for him, not for you. Making yourself look petty. Do all the GA high school kids on the vols roster deserve the same?

 

[tnvols72]

Really poor tackling. All year long.

fyp

 

[508mikey]

I don’t know if he makes it to year 2

he will unless someone else is dumb enough to hire him

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

How do you know?

Oh I saw some fight. But that last series had to do with Heart and I didn't see any of it. The hardest hitting guy on defense was Thompson our Freshman DB on defense.

 

[firestorm]

I didn’t see anyone laying down on that drive.

Exactly that was simply the Bulldogs getting what was needed most and damn frustrating that it happens when Vols had momentum making lead a narrow 12 points.
The team fought valiantly except I Know that's hollow because win and loss that's all that matters, moral victories are not counted and is simply let's use a positive spin with a bitter frustrating defeat or any defeat.

 

[roberthunter]

I agree we should have opened it up from the start. We’ve seen that 5 games now. It’s up to Pruitt to change that now. Helton may call the plays but Pruitt runs the team.

The fact that we haven't changed in 5 games tells me the strategy is coming from the head ball coach.

 

[The Original Fade]

Not happy. But I don't live vicariously through the teams accomplishments, or lack there of. I went to UT bro..I prefer them to not suck #ss but it is what it is.

Trust me, I know you celebrate inwardly every time JG throws an incompletion. Your hatred is that dumb and irrational

BTW - there’s no way you went to UT, your posts don’t reflect a college education
