The Official Tennessee vs. Charlotte Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, SEC Network (Alt.)

Please put Chryst in for the second half. Nothing against JG, but our offense is so stagnant with him in the game.

I need to see with my own two eyes that this isn't just a JG issue because the past few times Chryst has played it's looked like a JG issue.

I'm using WatchESPN as well, Vue doesn't have the SEC network alternate. Must be a regional issue.

I also have Vue. Was watching via the ESPN Playstation app and it started buffering. Swapped over to my computer and still doing it. Funny thing is...the commercials play just fine...full HD and no buffering. When it goes back to the game...freezes up.

Probably 5 of those completions are behind the LOS.

The first pass play was right in stride about 10 yards downfield, he also threw a perfect over the shoulder pass about 15-20 downfield, and a nice back shoulder throw from around 15 out so when he has had a chance he has had success with the midrange/downfield throws. They aren’t being called though. He did miss an opportunity for one or two others and that’s what Pruitt seemed to reference at halftime.

At some point you have to be able to line up and beat the man in front of you. We haven't done that today.

that's my point.

Same exact issue I’m having

 

[OneVolNation]

Fils-Aime had a 10 yard gain on his carry and Jordan started off with 4 yards on his first carry.

So somehow we found a way to lose 14 yards on the other rushing attempts.

 

[Septic]

Issues as well. Tried Sling TV on both a Roku and Fire Stick. Just gave up and listening to it on XM radio.

Really? VIPbox is working fine for me.

 

[tumscalcium]

Pruitt....”(JG) missed a couple of throws in the first half....”

Correct, he’s 8-10 and has thrown for 93 of the team’s 95 total yards and only offensive TD of the half.

Yep. Not good. Missed the wide open TE which would have led to points as well.

 

[FLVOL_79]

At the half: 11 carries, 0 yards rushing.

Must improve

CONFERENCE USA TEAM.

 

[hUTch2002]

No one repeated the part about "he missed a couple of throws......he needs to get the ball out quicker."

Dude, did you even read my post? I said it. And you talk about me exaggerating? I literally said it TO YOU!

 

[OrangeAllDay]

Please link said facts in one of the QB threads. Because from what I've seen, KC hasn't been given the opportunity to show what he can do on the field.

i
I’m not linking anything, I’m telling you how real life works. Pruitt is coaching for his job everyday. He had no inclination to start JG when he got here. It’s the reason he brought Keller in. If you don’t think he’s playing the best guys he has, than I don’t know what to tell you.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Same exact issue I’m having

Same here.

 

[82_VOL_83]

When it’s 14-3?

I'm just trying to follow the narrative.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Play Chryst the whole 2nd half then compare the two after the game. Whoever did better against a crap team like Charlotte should get the start next week

Nah nah nah. If KC does good its because Charlotte let off the gas...........

 

[VolFreakJosh]

The scheme hasn't changed enough that lining up correctly, standing up and pushing a Charlotte 49er is a scheme issue. Sorry dude, a Vol o line should be able to play short one guy and create holes.

They’re undersized and not your typical SEC Offensive Line.

Butch may have got away with it in the Big East but you need big bodied lineman to create push and open holes for the RBs.

The O-Line has always been the main weakness of this team and it’s showing again today.

 

[zeppelin128]

I'm ready for shooty hoops that way we can move on past the great debate of our time: JG or Chryst? Although people will probably still be arguing about it in the basketball game threads.

 

[Freak]

that's my point.

I know. I was agreeing.

 

[OrangePower]

I'm sitting in a treestand right now. Don't look like I missed anything at all.

Me too! The ESPN Watch app is what I’m watching it on in this tree. Seen one decent one at about 150yds other than that pretty slow......likebour offense.

 

[Blackburn]

We need another special teams touchdown

 

[MaTaLa]

So glad the QB cheerleaders showed up today.

It's showed every week - frankly, I'm surprised JG is not in an ICU somewhere.

I wasn't talking about you. I was agreeing with you. Sorry if it didn't read that way.

We have the Worst O line in the SEC. Arguably one of the worst in the country.

 

[KeyVol14]

I think it's pretty clear Friend has limited tools to work with on this line. Have I mentioned how small we are?

I see what ur saying but isn’t missed assignments solely on coaching?

 

[C-south]

I have the alternate but it pulled up fine on my Apple TV espn app
