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

With what I just saw, I can't believe this team isn't 0-4. If we played SC today, they would have beaten us like government mules. Right now this team looks as bad as 2017.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Or he makes JG into a good qb like he did Jonathan Crompton.

Crompton was terrible, I’ve never understood why the history of kiffin and him gets exaggerated here. He was awwwwwful.

 

[malibuvol]

Stoops is really good given what he has had to work with....develops and game plans well.....wow

He has better coaches on his staff...

Offense has no confidence in what it is doing. Defense has issues too but could still be serviceable. I think Pruitt needs to turn over offense to OC completely.

what is the exaggeration???? We went toe to toe with our biggest rival and crompton threw as many TDs and as some starting Qbs in thier career... oh yea with 2 walkon ol

Georgia exposed what many of us fans already knew. We have no qb. Kentucky had an easy gameplan after watching us play last week.

He was awwwwful. And then Kiffin turned him around to be a 5th round draft pick. He worked some magic somewhere for that to happen.

And that will not change the rest of the season. Every coach out there knows the exact blueprint to shut us down. It has worked now for six straight quarters.

 

[KeyVol14]

Bailey threw one good pass and 3 or 4 bad passes. he is not the savior at QB based on that series.

He threw 3 out his 5 passes fine

 

[whodeycin85]

He threw 3 out his 5 passes fine

I'm have to rewatch...but
1 reminded me of JG down the sideline
2 endzone overthrows
1 dropped across the middle was his best..... it was on the money..he leads there and the wr is toast...

 

[BP4Prez]

Felipe Franks would look good in orange.

the first endzone throw the WR seemed to stop or pull up

 

[2GeeZ4VolZ]

Kiffin got 27 tds out of him. 27. And was a cramped up kicker away from beating Bama with him. That’s why.

 

[whodeycin85]

Felt like a 1 read corner EZ throw... like i said I'll have to re watch

 

[wmcovol]

Hard to call a game plan when your hands are tied

They complete two big passes over the top last week in the first half. How many chances like that have they taken since first half last week? I’ll hang up a listen

 

[RAVOL]

Well, he's obviously not a Vols fan.

I would be happy to discuss CHRIST with you.

 

[kbear01]

Pruitt needs to go if he doesn’t let Bailey get snaps. It will not happen because of the extension. I wonder what is buyout is ?

We can't afford it.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Yeah, but you luckily don't live in Lexington.

I’m sorry bud!
GBO!!

 

[kbear01]

I
Missed it. Exactly what did Pruitt say about JG and the other Qb’s? Just a short highlight would do.

CJP stated, in a post game interview, JG is still our guy. What a bunch of ridiculous garbage.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

We can't afford it.

I’m sure. Sad situation. I am going to be optimistic that JG’s time as a starter is almost over once we start getting HB up to speed in the next 2-3 weeks. That is if HB performs as advertised.

 

[TheDeeble]

And that will not change the rest of the season. Every coach out there knows the exact blueprint to shut us down. It has worked now for six straight quarters.

We barely use the middle of the field 5 yards past the line of scrimmage. It makes it a lot easier for the defense when they know we won't throw anything past 5 yards over the middle.

I'm sure they don't trust JG. That is where his 2nd pick six came from today.

 

[willinhf]

A quarter back throws two pick 6s and the backup throws another based off their own poor decision making, yet, let’s fire the coach. Y’all are retarded

A coaching staff that has not developed the starting QB to be start worthy? a coaching staff that hasn’t given reps to their other QBs to prepare and develop them? A coaching staff the does not have the ability to game plan around a QBs abilities? A coaching staff that has to hold a totally separate scrimmage in order to give their highly-touted freshman QB any reps at all???

That coaching staff??

Yeah....this is on them.

Then I’m going have to pull back some of my emotional investment in Pruitt and the direction the program is going in. Which means Saturdays will not be reserved 100% for watching TN football. If I have something better to do then watching Tn football I will do it rather then watch a pathetic effort at playing football.

That pick was JG anticipating, pre-snap, that the LB would cheat up, to pick up the RB dump. Well, he didn't. INT TD.
