The Official Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt Game Thread, 3:45 PM ET, SEC Network

[Bryan1]

Apparently these refs don't know what a hold is!

18 play drive by VANDY……………

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Pretty embarrassing defensive performance today against a terrible Vandy offense.

 

[irish1485]

Can we start renaming 3rd/4th down to 1st down?

 

[Sarms58]

It’s hard to tell when you are sprinting full speed. That’s not how that call was intended to be made. These refs are so soft

He could have pulled up…

 

[GoVols64]

Defense is gassed. They have been getting their butt whooped and can’t stop a basic zone run against the worst team in the SEC.

 

[FlVols]

Pathetic defense.

True

 

[CPVOL]

I think our Defense has regressed. I’m not sure it’s personnel as much as it is scheme and coaching

 

[volmoon]

Vandy is 4 for 4 on 4th

 

[Mr French]

Like butt booty bad.

 

[Rockytoprowdy]

I mean… how many times will we let them run the same freaking play?

 

[JohnD13]

Lol.

Defense can’t stop a D2 school.

Well when you basically have D2 players on defense...

 

[JO VOL]

make whatever excuse you want. Talent, depth, effort, but the defense is playing terrible.

 

[chad954ut]

We are up by 25 in the 4th quarter and Vandy is willing to let the clock run. So, we're willing to let the clock run. We stay in zone and make them burn clock to move the ball. We are willing to trade a few points for a lot of burned clock.

Our coaches are coaching for a win. VN is freaking out in pursuit of style points.

Your philosophy is good on 1st and 2nd down but on 3rd and especially 4th down even NFL coaches bring pressure.

 

[Bigorange123]

Bama is playing like Tennessee...

Bama players tired of his mouth.

 

[ButchPlz]

Yuck.

 

[malibuvol]

I still think it was a fake. But we will never know for sure

I'm sure Saban will get asked about it after the game

 

[heath.hinkle]

Embarrassing....again

 

[nomads-11]

I know its a bad night defensively, but overall, DC Banks has a lot of ground to make up. Need a D that can at least compliment the O.

 

[MurphyVol]

This.

Our fans are some of the most naive bunch when it comes to football.

Isn't there a forum sonewhere for football geniuses?

 

[TJVol95]

defense

 

[87&91ALUM]

Good grief. That was a moral loss.

 

[GoVols64]

I wish I hadn’t watched this game.

 

[volfanhill]

Our defense is atrocious

Has been all season

 

[Rockytoprowdy]

make whatever excuse you want. Talent, depth, effort, but the defense is playing terrible.

All of the above…
