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

[Cartervol]

We're seeing why Hooker wasn't Heupel's first choice right now..

 

[give_him 6]

Fant was open on the last play

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Will be good to get some RBs in who can actually dish a hit.

 

[mpfvol]

They fixn to score again and UTs O done went to shiot

 

[G0V0LS33]

I really wonder if Hooker is shaken up. Something g does not look right

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

We need halftime and we need it now. Players and coaches seem to be caught in a daze.

 

[Frozevol]

Beating us with a FB

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Purdue Peyton Hillis is running over Tennessees soft defense

 

[Sarms58]

Hooker is totally off target.

And just not making good decisions…3rd and 2 - if the pass isn’t there scramble!

 

[Voltopia]

For all Tennessee's early points, Purdue looks like the better team right now. Astounding.

 

[Hallie]

Tie game at half ..our lines are getting whipped

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Love Heupel usually but idk these play calls as of late are questionable

Which call? The third down play had short and long receivers. Hooker bypassed the short throw and made a poor pass. The play was fine, but Hooker didn’t execute again.

 

[FranklinVFL]

We are going to fart around and let them back into this game.

They already are back in this game.

 

[Doberman]

Do we not remember that we can throw something that isn’t 40 yards down the field? I don’t get our offense this quarter.

Agree. Where’s the intermediate route?

 

[Frozevol]

Tied at the half

 

[ButchPlz]

Should be incomplete. No possession when he wentnkoht.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We haven’t scored since the 4:00 minute mark in the first quarter and it’s going to be a tie game at half. Embarrassing.

 

[firestorm]

Thank you Jordan Rodgers for stating the obvious about what exactly Purdue needs and that Tennessee wants to keep their foot on the gas pedal.

 

[tbones0711]

Tempo hurting us more than Purdue. CJH's not ready for this. He's lost in uncharted waters.

 

[GoVolunteers]

Ouch. We are getting torched in the secondary

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

This defense is trash.

 

[Jravol78]

Oh chit

 

[mpfvol]

Well that sux

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Which call? The third down play had short and long receivers. Hooker bypassed the short throw and made a poor pass. The play was fine, but Hooker didn’t execute again.

I feel like we need to run a little more

 

[TN1111]

28 sucks
