The Official #18 Tennessee vs. Kentucky Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, SEC Network

Put in Harrison Bailey, I had rather watch him throw pick sixes than any of our other options.

That's pretty much where I am at this point.

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

Need to hire an Offensive coach for the next search.

 

[DougAtkins91]

When you hire bargain bin coaches who bring their friends onto the staff, you get bargain bin results....

It happened with Dooley, it happened with Butch, and history has repeated itself again[/QUOT
BS!

 

[Sarms58]

Raked my back yard...I see JG is still the MVP for the Cats. Good thing we’re a second half team...

 

[volbeast33]

This isn't what I'd call competing..
Guess we'll see what happens after the half when KY adjust like every team does against TN.
Well heck he's throwing now and looking bad

The QB position is holding us back.... the defense and running game played great.... need to get it all going on the second half.... need good JG in the second half

 

[OldandStillaVol]

JG > Peterman (slightly)

No way. By the time Peterman was a senior, he was a legitimate qb. Can anyone say JG is a legitimate SEC qb after this s.....?

 

[BLUTickbusdriver]

Wait your saying JT int was a worse throw and JGs picks that were so clean the players didnt get touched on the way to the endzone...???

Dude is a deer in the headlights:/

 

[KrazyVolFan]

So is Garanteturnovr our guy in the 2nd half

 

[37620VOL]

HB should be taking every damn snap in practice. If JGs head isn’t on straight in his 5th year, it never will be

They are trying to accelerate his development, hence the scrimmage. Covid has him way behind where he would have been.

 

[whodeycin85]

5 win and 8 win season.. he has to have time 2 years isn’t enough time you guys who think we are in the 90’s early 2000’s are senile this has to be a rebuild and this year has been a sh** show due to a virus, no way this team looses to a Georgia state guaranteed and I’m not saying he’s the guy for the next decade I’m just saying he has to have time and if you think you will get any coach worth a damn if you are firing coaches without giving them 4-5 years then again you don’t know much

Its VANDY....we are down to KY. Stop excusing this **** show

 

[OrangeTsar]

Haha, “except for six bad plays” is a depressing statement.

Sounds a lot like Botch Jones near the end if you ask me „only a few plays from being undefeated“

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Let's just be clear. The worst throw off the day was #12. Maurer appears to be unavailable. HB would be last resort because he isn't ready. If we can't get #2s head on straight, we're in big trouble.

Doesn't take much to be ready to just hand the ball off. Bailey can do that I'm sure...

 

[imavolfan]

The sad part is the Vols don’t have a QB better than JG right now, maybe later, but not right now

It’s time to get someone with a bright future some reps. Only way they will improve.

 

[Chilmonty]

JG will be the starter Next Year too?!?!?

 

[OriginalCoach]

Riley pulls his starting QB and the kid goes on and plays well. Pruitt afraid of his QB or what?

 

[Grudenator]

JG will be the starter Next Year too?!?!?

Probably lol

 

[615vols]

What's funny is Tenn can still win this game because it's Kentucky.

Of course they can, but that’s not my point. The point is this coaching staff is not good. It’s year 3 and lots of warning signs going off. Are you encouraged by what you’ve seen out of the team and staff?

 

[MeanOrange]

Someone said it last week, we will be lucky to score 21 points in any game.

 

[Other_Guy]

LOL, what about jg??

I think some people are missing the point that no one is saying the back is better, we're saying you have to give other players opportunities. You never know. We give everyone else opportunities except backup QBs when the starter sucks?

 

[willinhf]

If we're for some reason hell bent on not playing Bailey, Maurer gave us a bit of a spark last year. Why not let him give it a whirl?

Injured

 

[LTVol]

Pruitt let's a 5th yr Senior, 3 yr Starter, make mistake after mistake after mistake after mistake and keeps him in. A backup with limited experience makes 1 mistake and pulls him. Pruitt can kick rocks and die on this JG grenade.

Just don't get why he gives JG such a long leash but pulls backups aftet one mistake. Did this last year too.

 

[photovol]

Time to recruit new QB coach

yeah, that QB coach threw 3 int’s
Shame on dat coach

 

[MurphyVol]

JG > Peterman (slightly)

Who was that guy that turned Peterman into a solid qb? If only he was on staff we could make him our qb coach

 

[De La Cloobs]

Not a big picture person, huh?

Pruitt just got a contract extension, can’t pay another coach like we’re paying Butch (still), he’s done great on the recruiting trail, our QB play is garbage, And we’ve only had one bad win to arguably the best team in the NCAA.

Knee jerk reactionist, small picture guy, huh?

 

[Buddr]

The other thing about Guaranturnover that peeves me is he was recruited to be an RPO QB but the the dude never pulls the ball and runs even when its clear he has an open run where he can get at least 10 to 15 yards.
