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

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Defense.. flat foot freshman. No fire. So Offensive coaches had a better halftime chat

 

[VOLinAL]

Effin slant again. Takr that away and their offense is almost nill. I may be out of the loop, but is Thompson playing safety?

 

[Zues1]

One thing about Pruitt, he won't think too long about benching JG. He might get one more drive to spark the offense or I'm guessing Pruitt shakes things up

No

 

[KB5252]

Their entire offense, literally.

 

[TJVol95]

Nobody can cover 13

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I don’t think it’s quite that dismal. Lets hope that with a good defense & JG improving enough to be able to rely on a pretty good OL, good backs and some talented yet young and or unproven receivers will add to the 5 wins that I see as near given wins .

Everything is possible except the JG part.

 

[tdbigorange11]

C'mon Pruitt its obvious #18 is not up to the task of covering #13 on a slant. Either replace him or give him help!

 

[YankeeVol]

Isn’t Pruitt a defensive coach? Asking for a friend

 

[eVOLutionNation]

Can we not play zone? That typically nullifies slants

 

[McDad]

Here's a thought, let's put someone besides Slaughter to cover the slant/slot.

 

[UTK]

Shi smith has two gift wrapped TDs. Playing off of him all day and refuse to double cover him. Just baffling.

 

[BP4Prez]

Slaughter is getting slaughtered tonight

He’s all or nothing. Had a few big plays and abused on others.

 

[G8rh8r]

Amazing what a decent QB and one good receiver can do.

 

[BreatheUT]

Just double cover shi smith. Is it that hard? They're a player offense

Better yet cut off the slant. Jam him or something to throw off the timing.

 

[Chipperbones]

And he caught the ball on the run...is that even in our repertoire?

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

No Shamburger or McCullough is hurting us. I'd like to see if Taylor can slow him down.

 

[zeppelin128]

South Carolina has literally one guy and that's it. And we're letting that one guy carry their team.

As is tradition.

 

[orangerush]

SC wide receivers are so open you can’t find a defender

 

[Halph66]

Terrible Defense

 

[ButchPlz]

Slants are designed for someone on defense to meet him over the middle. Please come on defense.

 

[CA_Vol]

I guess we chose not to address that one play they keep hitting at the half.

 

[UTK]

So

Nobody can cover 13

So why not try 2?

 

[Grudenator]

Nobody can cover 13

Yes they can. 18 can’t. Thompson could cover him

 

[TN1111]

I thought our secondary was supposed to be a strength this year... It may be -but just for the other team.

 

[LocoVol]

can we fix that sometime this game?
