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

[ATLVols]

Hyatt has been a nonfactor all season.

Right. Something has been wrong this year. Not even the same guy as last year.

 

[VolFaninFla]

The wheels have finally fell the F*** off.......

I understand the frustration but stay positive.
This offense can score quickly

 

[wmcovol]

Catch the ball at the 5? I see it all the time now so I guess todays coaches coach that.

 

[SlingBlayde]

Football 101 first principle = ball security

 

[chuckb1448]

Hooker has to Wake up! Tillman and Velus, long pass the Payton

 

[RockyTop140]

Some fans thought this game would be a blowout and dismissed Purdue but they have the better record and they dominated a good Iowa and Michigan St. team.

Iowa got absolutely blown out by Michigan. Color me unimpressed. They are not bad but they didn’t belong anywhere near number 2.

 

[AshG]

There's still a quarter and a half.

But, to quote the last episode of Ted Lasso Season 1: It's the hope that kills you.

 

[TennVols12]

Why is Banks man to man on their TE on 3rd and long?

Anything is better than Beasley trying to guard anyone, anytime….or tackle

 

[Hallie]

WTH .. fair catch on the 4 yard line .. really .. did they leave their brains in knoxville

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Let that kick go into the end zone FFS

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Hooker broke today...
Yeah lets see Milton for a little and see if Hooker get's his stuff together

But we can’t do that, we’re planning his Heisman campaign already.
GBO!!

 

[RDU VOL#14]

We need to stop trying to win the game on every single play . Just one play at a time.

 

[BreatheUT]

Why is Banks man to man on their TE on 3rd and long?

We were fortunate on that one.

 

[Sarms58]

everybody needs to step up…OL, Hooker and the receivers…

 

[Voltopia]

Is 1st and 10 from the 5 really that much better than 1st and 10 from the 3? Especially when one bounce gets you 1st and 10 from the 20? I mean ... really?

 

[Memphisvol87]

Looks like Rick Barnes coached us during bowl practice

 

[Vol8188]

When will we blitz. Worked against Kentucky.

Kentucky didn’t have this good of a QB and we had Taylor on the outside. Hard to trust these CBs right now and we haven’t got much from out LBs over the middle or up the seam

 

[Zues1]

Catch the ball at the 5? I see it all the time now so I guess todays coaches coach that.

Stupid. Let the damn thing go

 

[i2amavol]

And Hooker overthrows a 5 yard pass.

Better figure this out, fast.

Put in the backup! That'll fix that problem!!!

 

[screenthis]

OK, I'll join in. Drives me nuts when players do things that they KNOW not to do. That includes catching the punt at the 5 yard line.

 

[usagary]

why catch that punt inside the 5

Our head is not in the game. Just looking forward to next year…

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Let’s not

Some times you have to mix it up.
Not the first game Hooker's got wild. I'm willing to see if Milton has some juice today...
If Milton was in playing like Hooker been doing...ppl would be saying sit him
Hooker is juiced up today or something...he's been high on most of his passes

 

[Boca Vol]

If UT loses this game I am prepared to sleep tonight.

 

[Sarms58]

We need to stop trying to win the game on every single play . Just one play at a time.

Exactly! Win the play!

Purdue up by 2, fans tossing in the towel.
