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

[GoBigOrange86]

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.

Significantly better. Dude has a laser. Made us look like chumps that second quarter.

 

[UTK]

CJH will lose a little r

Purdue came to play!

Fun game though and plenty of game left.

Go Vols!

Weird definition of fun you have. That was attrocious.

Dunno why, still think we win by multiple scores.

 

[VFL1993]

Game must have gotten to Hooker’s head. Probably the worst accuracy he’s had all season. Hopefully he can turn it around in the 2nd half.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I see where Hyatt is really hurting us though, that one route he was in man with no safety and Hooker saw it for a deep vert. Hyatt turned it into a short out.

 

[Jackcrevol]

we not playing well.

 

[Rishvol]

We were all so happy in q1.

And then ugh.

The negative nellys just came pouring in.

I know they're pissing me off more than the second quarter

 

[UTK]

Lol dude missed plenty of passes too.

 

[VolMike16]

We are really really bad in the secondary. Being exposed today.

DBs literally just falling over and not knowing how to turn and look for the ball. Pathetic

This is the Willie Martinez special. The same issues with DBs his 1st go around. Everyone complained. The DBs have been bad this year outside of Taylor and Jackson. Never been a fan of WM. Gonna have to increase the talent in that room

 

[csprig9]

We’re gonna win
But this damn defense still sucks lol
4 weeks to scheme and this is what TB draws up for defense lol

 

[yourstruly23]

Heup/Golesh is going to have to learn to make adjustments on the field.. can’t wait until halftime to make adjustments..

 

[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

You obviously a fan looking at stats. We who played and understand football, know the touchdowns were terrible and inaccurate passes.

 

[Adam2014]

We are just giving them a chance. We will probably win 49-23.

 

[GVol1966]

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

Hooker has missed badly on several wide open receivers and Peyton and Fant have dropped balls that hit em in the hands.
Other than a few big plays the offense has been crap

 

[volfanCLT]

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

Jones had a walk in TD that Hooker threw about 8 yards off target. Guys are open every play

Who was that in the back of the end zone wide ass open on the rollout from about the 5?

 

[SpringBokVol]

16 unanswered with 3 FGs and a TD. They drove it inside the 20 every drive.

It’s not negative nellys, it’s people who use the their eyes, look at stats, and can see what is happening. Gave up 350 to a team with slaw receivers and Hooker can’t hit the broad side of barn. Some of you just can’t see what’s happening front of you.

 

[volbeast33]

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

We have out played them…. Hendon just missed several throws and miscommunications with wide receivers that don’t normally happen or we would be up by three scores….. Purdue’s QB is a stud though.

 

[jwilliams]

That looked like a Jeremy Pruitt quarter... gross

I am not a negative nelly but guarantee you CJH is lighting some azz’s up. He ain’t passing out cookies and kool aid at halftime. You have no clue.

 

[Revived2002]

CJH will lose a little r


Weird definition of fun you have. That was attrocious.

Dunno why, still think we win by multiple scores.

Fun is a good competitive game where both teams want to win!

Tennessee looked rough in the second quarter though for sure

Still about 2-3 recruiting classes away from being able to dominate these kinds of games

And missing Taylor big time

 

[ALStateLineVol]

Our offense looks off badly. Not only the throws by Hooker, but communication too. Several throws made and not a receiver in sight. I have no idea who's fault that would be but with this being the 13th game of the year, no way they should look this out of sorts. Make adjustments at halftime and let's finish the season on a good note!
Go Vols!!

 

[csprig9]

16 unanswered with 3 FGs and a TD. They drove it inside the 20 every drive.

Awful defense
But yeah that tim banks is great lol
We’re gonna win this game though
Full confidence in CJH
Go Vols!!!

He is markedly better with slaw receivers

 

[Gilbert]

Need points to start the half. Need to keep pace because we haven’t kept them off the scoreboard very often.

No. We just don’t over react during the course of a 60 minute game.
