The Official Tennessee vs. Purdue Music City Bowl Game Thread, 3:00 PM ET, ESPN

[MAD]

This is why the Music City Bowl wanted us so badly.

 

[LTVol]

I don't understand why we can't get any pressure on the QB

Need to rush more than 4 sometimes. Dont know why we're not, since we cant cover their receivers

 

[lilesrt]

Whatever Willie Martinez is being paid it’s entirely too much.

He’s working with scrubs. And not the kind you wear in the hospital.

 

[RAVOL]

Need to put this quarterback on his back.

Yes DL need to effect this game more.

 

[Gandalf]

TN only scoring 21 in the 1st QTR? Fans be like:

 

[djohnnyg]

Every time we force an incompletion I expect a flag.

 

[OJJ]

No way we recruited good enough to fix this d

Portal...

 

[jblank]

We've stopped them like 2-3 times already?

pardner they’re moving the ball at will. Are ya watching the game?

 

[ButchPlz]

Alontae was good but I just don’t see how him not being on the field has this big of a impact….

I think we're missing a couple others too.

We're as shorthanded as Purdue there.

 

[wmcovol]

Brohm is a great offensive coach. Probably put in a lot of new stuff also.

 

[FlVols]

Stop em Defense

 

[BreatheUT]

Correct. And honestly, at the end of the day we have 68 scholarship players. I couldn’t care less how many players Perdue has out. Boo hoo cry to someone else about lack of depth.

They only listed one secondary player at the beginning of the broadcast that was out. Then they went into this talk about Purdue shuffling their secondary and they didn't want to make excuses for not playing. Say what? If you don't want to play then tell us early so we can get a replacement team. There are some other teams that didn't get to play.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

we need a defensive-secondary All Points Bulletin cry-for-help to the transfer portal

 

[Jravol78]

Fahr Banks , Fahr Martinez , Fahr Barnes !



Fahr em all….. they sorry ass hail

 

[CJBlaze]

I don't understand why we can't get any pressure on the QB

We don't have any D lineman that can win one on one matchups consistently.

 

[sunnyvol79]

Wish we had a better defense to go with this offense

 

[rocketskates]

Defense hasn’t been that bad, just need to shore up those big plays. Remember no Alontae Taylor. I respect the man’s decision but he’s a big hit.

 

[Bigorange123]

Lance peanuts in a Dr Pepper

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

I think I heard the Purdue QB was a walkon.

 

[Rockytopvol86]

He’s over it now

Dang it’s been a while since having a WR over 1k! Thanks

 

[TJSVOLS]

This defense is making a big 10 team look fast

 

[ButchPlz]

pardner they’re moving the ball at will. Are ya watching the game?

Yes, and I've seen us force at least a punt and get a pick.

 

[firestorm]

A hilarious Fansville commercial with them describing what they are.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Lance peanuts in a Dr Pepper

Lance a Boilermaker.

 

[djohnnyg]

Unfortunately this might be a shootout.
