'21 Recruiting Forum: Music City Bowl vs. Purdue Pregame/Game Thread

[TN-POSSUM]

Hooker yelling at everybody on the offense. Maybe he'll ball out in the 2nd half LIKE HE DID IN THE 1ST QUARTER

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Well boys and girls….. good news….. we get the ball back to start the half….

 

[Skullbone]

Saved our worst for the bowl game. Great

 

[GoBigOrange86]

It’s not just the players tho, it’s the play calling too. Deep shot after deep shot, lack of running lanes.

Hooker for some reason can’t hit the broad side of a barn

That call on 3rd and medium was stupid. Sorry. It just was.

Defense has to generate pressure. You can't give him time in the pocket like this. We are simply being out coached and out executed on both sides of the ball.

Make the adjustments and get back to what Hooker does best in the pass game and run the damn ball.

 

[GVol1966]

Our guys are wide open running the same route because their secondary is garbage. At least they are running crossing routes and everything

Doesn’t matter if they run the same route every play if they are wide open. If they can’t cover it keep doing it.
You’d think if we keep doing the same route we’d eventually complete a pass, but well, that second quarter says no.

 

[VolGee4]

In the stadium, I didn’t see anything our guys did on the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

Receivers need to get open. When Tillman is the only guy getting open we got issues.

 

[BigSteve09]

We are getting out coached and Hooker isn't playing his best.

 

[utvolmaniac]

Anyone notice Jeremiah Crawford and not Dwayne Davis was at RT for that last play?

 

[Odiodin]

Disgusted

 

[johnfnkelly]

It’s college…. You don’t know who will be able to step up as backups….. let’s go dominate the second half.

Our kids have played all year vs their backups who haven’t. We should be up 3 scores.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

First game of the year I have been completely pissed off at the half!!!!
We are better than this!

 

[Revived2002]

Purdue came to play!

Fun game though and plenty of game left.

Go Vols!

 

[Southern_Accent]

Reminds me kinda of the Georgia game. I thought that was hendons worst game of the season

 

[MetalVolunteer]

Hell put in some cheerleaders lol

P.S. this Crown is going down way too fast now

 

[butchna]

2nd quarter curse is a thing.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

If Hooker doesn't wake up..we are losing this game. Their QB is better than ours..well he is today anyway..and that is the difference in this game.

 

[zhangliao04]

Pretty sure Hooker is banged up with his throwing arm.

 

[volinbama256]

can we just throw some 10-15 yarders? why all the bombs to no one? Give Milton a shot, can't be any worse... Hooker overthrowing everyone today too... our Defense looks to lose the game for us at this point, so it won't matter who's at QB

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Yuk

 

[ACvol3]

Hell put in some cheerleaders lol

P.S. this Crown is going down way too fast now

Obviously.. and I don’t think you’re alone

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

The ENTIRE DEFENSE LOOKS LOST

Our safeties have been lost all season, only glimpse of hope was when Flowers was injured and Charles came in and finally started breaking on throws…. Then immediately gets injured and haven’t seen him since.

 

[SpringBokVol]

We were all so happy in q1.

And then ugh.

The negative nellys just came pouring in.

 

[JacketVol]

Some people on here…goodness. Last week: “Hooker is a Heisman candidate next a year!” After two bad drives but passing for over 150 yards with an entire half to go: “TAKE HIM OUT!” No wonder people laugh at our fanbase

I NEVER said he was a Heisman candidate but when you play like crap, you get pulled. He won’t pull him because it would hurt feelings. He needs a break. Half time. Give him the first possession and if it continues then you make a change. We should be up two scores. He’s been off all day.
