AcC refs make SEC refs look elite

I see now why Milton looked so good in the Fall...Look at the secondary he was throwing against...Of course, Willie hedged by telling him we were trying to make you look good....LOL

 

[TikiVol]

Purdue hasn’t run the ball on anyone all year. TN defense - “hold our beers”

 

[Titan05]

Definitely a TD

 

[Memphisvol87]

Do we have any other Db's we can play

Anyone at this point. The guys in the game can’t cover. Just blitz and blitz some more at this point

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Reminds me of the Pitt game so far. When we face a good QB the defense really struggles. We only played against two good QBs all season.

Very reminiscent of Pitt

 

[Volaholic320]

A fat white guy getting that open terrible. Our BDs aren't 10 yards from their receivers

 

[OJJ]

Confirmed my ass

 

[G0V0LS33]

No D-line pressure = L

My thoughts exactly. Cannot rush 3 and beat this team. We have to mix it up

 

[VOLinAL]

We need to be blitzing every other play. He obviously doesnt want to run with the ball and we cant let him sit back there all day. It is going to suck to lose to a mediocre QB.

 

[Volintheswamp]

Worst secondary UT has ever fielded. If Purdue had all of their players, this game would’ve been over already.

 

[Frozevol]

This game is looking so much like the Pitt game. We need to make sure it doesn’t end the same.

 

[GoVolunteers]

If he wore orange, everyone would be saying it was a catch. It is what it is

 

[TrueOrange]

The early flags conditioned them

Except it’s been like this all game and much of the year for them.

 

[OJJ]

A fat white guy getting that open terrible. Our BDs aren't 10 yards from their receivers

Umm he was right on the guy?

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Allowed another 300 yard passer lol

 

[wmcovol]

Secondary was terrible when Tenn had Pruitt & Ainsley. Just don’t have good players.

 

[Zues1]

Did we spend any of our bowl practices on defense?

Defense?

 

[chuckb1448]

No D-line pressure = L

You're correct, I'm surprised we are getting no sacks.... it would change the game

 

[CPVOL]

If Brohm runs the ball anymore, it has to be in to appease the OC ….. cause there’s no way he can’t throw it every play. It’s an automatic 10+ with this secondary.

 

[RavinDave]

They all do

It’s what I keep telling myself, but I don’t seem to be listening.

 

[give_him 6]

Nothing says Happy New Year like watching your favorite team get worked over by a D-III caliber walk on.

 

[TJSVOLS]

Better hit the portal hard for some help on D

 

[casetopia]

Neither defense can stop the offense. Just going to come down to who makes the least mistakes.

Secondary has been a weak spot all year. We need better talent there.

Unfortunately, we have to depend on outsourcing every opponent. Taking a quarter off really digs a big hole to climb out of.
