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

Calling for Hooker to be benched is CRAZY TALK!
Get in his ear at halftime, make him understand that every play does have to be a home run.
He has backs out of the backfield, wide open, begging for the ball and 4-6 yard gains all day long.
GBO!!

Bipolar play from Hooker floating way too many balls and just off on reads. Nether D is good. The middle of the field is open and their corners are crap. Drag & slugo to the seam will tear them up.

The way we started out I thought we'd be up by 32 at halftime.
Vols act like they can score at will but they aren't for some unknown reason..

 

[n_huffhines]

Huepel is making some dumb calls…. Vols have been their own worst enemy

We'd have 42 points right now if Hooker could hit the open man.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Guys we are fine

After last night this is not the type of sports day I need.

If I see another hard hat….

We scored 21 easy then quit playing. Focus guys. Need to learn to play 4 quarters.

Purdue is dialed in, gonna be difficult to win this one

 

[The Original Fade]

188 yds with 2 TDs and 0 INTs at the half and some of you want to change QBs???

 

[rocketskates]

Or got a penalty

A few of those penalties were sketchy as well. The Purdue players jump and magically 4 seconds later the refs call false start?

The offsetting personal foul was crap as well. No excuses we should be in complete control of this game, but there’s been some questionable calls.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Slack-ass coach just like Barnes last night. They being paid to be aware of this sheet and do something about it. The general gonna toss 6' of dirt off his grave and 'splain some shat to these slack-ass millionaire coaches who don't know they azz from a hole in the ground. AD White is gonna be put on notice soon. CJH wasn't his 1st choice FWIW.

I think you should have several more liquor dranks

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Guys we are fine

 

[zooguy]

People who want Milton instead of Hooker … must be smoking the ganja weed…..

The offense is great when you have tempo and are completing 3rd down conversions.

It sucks when you go 3 and out or have turnovers. Your defense is on the field too much.

Which is why I don’t think this offense will ever be championship winning. Keeps the defense on the field too much.

Part of it is the fake injury technique right now. I think if there are severe penalties for leaving the game with injury (being out a quarter, etc.) then that will end.

 

[usagary]

Hope Heupel kicks something in the locker room

Just calm them down and make some adjustments.

 

[sunnyvol79]

Look at your post history. That will explain my total dislike for you.

I’ve always stated facts and astute observations on the football program.

 

[BreatheUT]

Glad I’m not at the game. The only thing worse than hearing Purdue fans yell Boiler Up every 5 seconds is Georgias barking

Their crowd got a lot to be excited about while ours look stunned as it should.

Now we have to be concerned if Purdue has our defense on its heels. If so, we may have to outscore them and that is in question at this point.

 

[1985Vols]

I think a few times it was third and short and we went for a 45 yard pass for some reason. Your RB is averaging like 6 yards a carry. Just run it and get the first down.

I Don’t understand throwing 40 yards downfield on 3 rd and short

 

[irish1485]

This is aging poorly.

You feel better now?

 

[molsen81]

I agree with the other posts. Our players need a half to work off the hot chicken

Thats culture for eveyone that spews culture all time. U have major issues if you cant play 4 quarters. This really proves we may have same record or tad better next year. We have such a long way to go

 

[firestorm]

They need to play a full 2nd half to defeat the BoilerMakers.

I'm hopeful that is the message being preached by Coach Heuepel to the Volunteers football at halftime.

Not sure what it looks like on tv, but at the stadium he’s made several bad throws that could have been HUGE

 

[RavinDave]

Well, when you’re entire game plan is one dimensional (throwing bombs) this is what happens.
GBO!!

It’s like that coach’s comment threw off our throw game.

Don’t worry, if we lose some people will be yelling fire Heupel even though we weren’t supposed to even make a bowl this year. Most bi polar fanbase in sports.
