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

[YankeeVol]

How sad is it that anyone here...me included...can find positives in a 26 point loss to UGA.

That's a sign of how far we have sunk, and how far we have yet to go.

Maybe we should cut Pruitt some slack. He's a proven winner. He took over a dumpster fire.

This is going to take time to fix.

Go Vols.

Where has he ever won? Not trying to be a d***, but he is/was an unknown.

 

[MAUSERWERKE]

I dont care about his legacy. I dont care that he chose to go to UGA. I care that he's taken a few cheap shots at our guys and gotten away with it

If you had paid attention earlier I was hoping fields was OK after that fumble recovery.

So please. Preach elsewhere.

I can’t blame Mays at all. Sure remember his father blocking for Heath Shuler.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

that was one of the most offensively conservative play calling games I have seen in a while.

Did you miss the first four games ?

 

[Powder and shot]

Butt sniffer

 

[NorCalVol67]

stop drinking

Bad advice.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Guess it'll be interesting to see what Pruitt says after this.

I assume well our defense played a lot better.

Can't win if you don't get any of the turnovers, had one hit one of our guys in his hands and he dropped it.

Have to be able to run the football or you can't win a game.

Have to be able to tackle a guy to the ground in there somewhere as well.

Somewhere around those answers from Pruitt I would assume.

 

[ScreaminVolHawkins]

I agree with that, I also think he should lose time. But to say he's not a SEC talent and you can recruit over him, is just asinine.

agree. other poster is a real p.o.s., or hopefully just emotional and taking it out on one of our most spirited players

 

[Remy]

Lulz, must suck to be wrong all the time.

Because if he threw a pick 6 they would have covered?

 

[firestorm]

That finish gets him 0 slack.

Exactly this business is about undeniable wins not moral victories if moral victories were accepted then a lot of head coaches wouldn't get fired.

 

[realist]

JG 2 TDs
Fromm 0

UGA backup QB 2TD's......

 

[dougvolfan]

0-16 SEC play..the march towards that continues.

Don’t forget vandy loss end of 2016. We are now at 11 straight sec losses. Mind boggling.

 

[TNHopeful505]

I mean.....half of the fans on here aren't wanting to stick with this team and coach right now and grow with them, so why would he? I wish the fans who are just giving up would do the same thing he did and go jump onboard another wagon.

I'm never happy after a loss, but I at least have patience with a guy who is dealing with a OL that can't block, and a defense that can't tackle. He'll get it right.

Forget Cade Mays, and forget all of you all already clamoring for a change. We all knew it would be a rough season, I don't know why anyone is surprised that it is actually happening.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Okay how’d they get the last TD so quickly?

Banks fumble.

Short field.

Their back up QB can outrun anyone on the Volunteer roster.

 

[VolForLife83]

Sure could use him on the otherside of Smith

 

[Florida Orange]

How many time outs has Pruitt left in the games this year? Just wondering. Our defense has to learn to tackle. There is a lot of work to do. Everywhere.

 

[anthorain]

That finish gets him 0 slack.

Totally agree. Slack is what made Butch Jones stay as head coach for longer than he should have

 

[marcusluvsvols]

So, putting Chryst in, and running the ball just admits defeat. Wow. You want your guys to never give up, but that's giving up. I love Pruitt, but what in the heck?

How drunk are you?

We are down by 26 with 2 minutes left. Actually impossible to win. Impossible. Plenty of stuff to bitch about, like letting banks carry the ball when he fumbles every game...this aint something to complain about. Doesnt matter who hands the ball off 3 times, as long as we dont fumble ut

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Where has he ever won? Not trying to be a d***, but he is/was an unknown.

Tennessee isn’t exactly a place where a coach can learn on the job. He makes some baffling calls.

 

[ScreaminVolHawkins]

if Helton stays on next season Pruitt is no better than Butch Jones

If you stay on the rest of the season we are going to be more disappointed than having to take butch back

 

[UTK]

Banks fumble.

Short field.

Their back up QB can outrun anyone on the Volunteer roster.

Why were we even running it? It was it a pass? And then he fumbled?

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I saw some good things happen in the last 20 minutes of the game except for Banks fumble. The defense played with a lot of hear even though they were on the field way too long. The offense perked up a little bit when they started thowing the ball down the field a little bit. Chandler had a good game and they must get the ball to him in the open. He is a SEC running back.

I don't think UGa is good enough to win the SEC. UK will score at least 24 on them. Vandy will keep it close with them. Paul Bain needs to play more. We still dropped potential INTs should have had more turn overs. I saw progress and the off day will really help a lot. Don't give up. Don't ever give up.

 

[I Love Lamp]

If UGA is the #2 team, honestly, it looks like they have a long way to go. We are not good and we hung right there with them.

I think they made a mistake going all in on Fromm and letting Eason walk. They are one deminsional and we couldn’t stop it.

 

[orange_glory]

close game if not for the fluke play touchdown and the fumble at the end.

What should he say? I’ll hang up and listen

Doesn’t matter. You play till the clock reads 0:00
