The Official #16 Tennessee @ South Carolina Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, SEC Network

JG had a bad end of the half but I don’t think he’s been as bad as some are making it out to be. He’s made good reads, got it out on time, but he has missed some throws. Some of his incompletions are on the receivers as well. On the bright side though. Defense has looked tough! Passing game needs to tighten up, and find a way to get the run going.

Dude do not blame the receivers they bailed JG out with great catches. His passes have sucked. A decent QB and we are up by 21. He has had plenty of time yet throws over or behind the receiver 80% of the time.

 

[TJVol95]

JP dodged that JG question. Sad this kid can’t get it.

 

[Frozevol]

The OL is doing a good job of pass protection. We can’t run because they are stacking the box, because...JG.

Eric Gray is a special player.

We have to have other ways to get Gray the ball. A floater out of the backfield...of course he has to be able to catch a ball behind his back.

 

[VolFan4Life87]

We winning and it feels like we losing.....

We’re winning on fluke plays

 

[FranklinVFL]

Feeling like we should be up 21-7 or 24-7. That makes me nervous.

However To’o To’o is a MAN.

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

Are D keeps getting better every year.

Major improvement!

Yes?

 

[BLUTickbusdriver]

Because the D can cheat the run knowing JG cant hurt them.

This is our problem. We need to be a threat throwing the ball...it’s on our qb to play.

 

[Volnbeers]

mike leach is just a good football coach imo

 

[bigorange6469]

We need to line up and run right at them. Then use play action. JG is best when throwing off play action. I honestly hope to see another qb

 

[Sara Clark]

I know people are pining for someone else other than JG, but Pruitt isn't going to sit him. I would be shocked if he did unless JG throws a couple of picks. Obviously Pruitt doesn't think Shrout would do much better and Maurer is dealing with a hamstring injury. I doubt Pruitt gets trigger happy after one half of football.

I think Pruitt has put the best QB out there we have. Not to say others won't improve.....either way, it's concerning. JG isn't a good QB, I'm not sure how many years he has to play before "some" can admit it.

 

[FBtime]

Shi Smith has 84 of their 122 yards. Double him.

There’s no Jennings to bail him out this year on 3rd down.

 

[Wezcoast]

JG is a FIFTH YEAR SENIOR. He ain’t getting any better. You Know what to do Pruitt. Just. Make. The. Call.

I know it's pointless to pile on, but it's true . He's had too much time already to reinvent himself 3 times over. Stick a fork in the JG era and see what happens. Jesus. This is the one big thing that Pruitt is getting under my skin about. He's too smart of a coach to be doing this nonsense.

 

[EODVOL]

You say that but how many hurries and what 3 sacks now...

Are we watching the same game? Those sacks were not all on the O-line. What do you expect of the line, to hold their block for 15 seconds?

 

[orangerush]

How come Miss State can score with ease and we still blowing air

 

[VolFreakJosh]

mike leach is just a good football coach imo

He has a QB that can make simple throws too

 

[KSVOL]

Can we try the Waterboy

 

[TJVol95]

Put Maurer in. He's had to improve greatly since last year.

JT will be the next guy in.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Feeling like we should be up 21-7 or 24-7. That makes me nervous.

However To’o To’o is a MAN.

Henry T is the best LB we have had since Mayo. Awesome.

I would say this is true. Pruitt isn't dumb. He pulled JG last year plenty of times and if he thought someone else was better he'd do it again. Clearly, he doesn't think anyone is better.

 

[whodeycin85]

How many of the 9 receptions were dump offs?

1 dump off...only 3-8 since scoring drive

 

[VolPack22]

Defense is stepping up. They have only given up 50 yards since that first touchdown drive of the game.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

We do that maybe 4-5 times a game. Your band goes "Hey look, our guy breathed in!" and they play rockytop. You do it 3-4 times a minute.

You arent wrong about Rocky Top but that doesnt take away from the mind numbing stupidity that is 2 Bits...

 

[sechamp2012]

These announcers didn’t take time to learn players names By number sux watching when someone like Jeremy Banks makes a tackle and their rambling about a game played earlier in the day. Bcuz they didn’t do their homework whatever their paying them is to much
Stinkbaum stinking it up

Palmer could play JJ but he's had what, like 1 pass come his way?
