The Official Tennessee @ #18 Kentucky Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[Voltopia]

The defense is going to have to kill two of their drives to keep this game in hand - but I have no idea if they can do it.

That 4th down fail could be very crucial and hurt. As a coach you have to be smart and flip the field. Your defense is gassed and getting gashed. Punt and make them drive the field. Can't play for luck, gotta be smart.

 

[TAF]

Announcer said Taylor is out. Anyone there able to see him on the sidelines or is he in the tent?

Did he get hurt dancing or going high on the sideline with Coach Josh Heupal??!!

 

[kcvols1]

This Tim Banks better change his style or he won't last. Great first and second down offense only won't work

How do you not see this all changes with stronger and more numerous DL?

 

[JohnnyJava]

You’re in a 38-35 shootout with a team that you’ve allowed nearly 500 yd of offense to in 3 quarters and some of y’all want to punt from the Ky 37 and play field position ball? Game threads are good for humor

 

[Panthro]

3rd and Banks?

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

agree

We’re literally winning. Go find something else to be miserable about.

 

[Vol737]

Taylor hurt himself when he did that celebratory dance in endzone

That would be so Tennessee.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Need this effing stop D

 

[jmacvols1]

This game would be a blowout for Tennessee if they just had a mediocre defense.

 

[JoAllan]

You really think we should have punt??

Yea you always punt on like the 36 yard line……don’t you know?

Some folks always know best “after” the play. Never mind if the lineman just makes a block.

If they tried a 50+ yarder and missed folks would have “known” better.

If they punted……folks would have complained because they punted and gained only like 15 yards of field.

I had to listen to radio a bit on the way from one place to another and wife had found Sirius station. The announcers were extremely biased. They were so excited for every Kentucky play and pissed at a Tennessee first down.

The woman commentator, Beth something, is impossible to listen to. Like many women, she yells into the mic to compensate.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

LSU driving to take the lead in the 4th


Just sayin

 

[Boston Vol]

They have to get off the field

 

[ftsandersvol]

Please let us have a 3rd down stop!

Here is a chance

 

[VolsFan-TX]

If we punt there it’s very likely an 18 or 23 yard punt if we took a delay. Not the worst call in the world, give your O a chance.

I agree. Going for it in 4th down was the right call knowing our defense can’t stop KY. Unfortunately, the line failed and then Hooker dropped the ball

Irrelevant, if the defense doesn't get a three and out, it's going to be a TD anyway.

 

[orange_glory]

Here comes a 1st down

 

[vol94]

Wish we would bring the heat every once and a while

Yeah. Time to blitz and jam receivers at LOS.

 

[Megatron88]

Unreal

 

[Fightmaker]

At Kroger Field still makes me LOL. Sorry not sorry.

 

[Boston Vol]

What a joke

 

[FlVols]

Taylor’s back

 

[DaddyChad]

Dreaded third down
