The Official #3 Tennessee vs. (#14 FCS) UT Martin Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, SEC Network

Dear god, give up a score with a defense that’s missing like 5 starters against a team that you’re not going to be hyped up to play at noon and now all the legion of the miserable is declaring a loss to Kentucky.

Not surprising at all

GoVols105 is going to come out of hibernation soon.

I remember Ahmad Paige hitting that wall head first before they had pads on it. It always worries me when plays go deep in the end zone.

Complete idiot whoever designed that....

Noon game
FCS opponent
Half the secondary out
Trap game

Anything I miss?

The whole secondary is out (except Flowers).

 

[JCHateSteve]

Well that was an odd kick.

Anything I miss?

First time having to get ready for another game following a huge emotional win over a rival.

Flowers is the worst db I have ever seen play this many years at a D1 school

Hmmm did you see Teddy Gaines

 

[Sgt_Nick_Fury]

I wanna beleive, but I just saw our secondary get burned by UT Martin.

 

[GhostVol]

At least they’re padded…somewhat…now. There was a time they were a really serious neck injury waiting to happen.

(The university really should consider thickening whatever they’re using now to cushion them to absorb a more forceful blow like that…or worse).

Honestly? I'm not sure how they'd do it (I'm not an engineer).... but I'd like to see 'em move those walls back a good 5 feet (if not more)

Hyatt is special

 

[Voljayton]

Hyatt with the quick feet!

DL gonna have to get to their QB

Dresser Winn is no joke. He is from where I grew up and he's been slinging it since junior high. Definitely shouldn't be underestimated.

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Not sleepwalking, our pass defense just isn’t good and UTM has a great passing offense.

Great for Power 5 or great for FCS?

 

[perico]

Yeah that guy sucked...

 

[Madscientistvol]

I’m not gonna freak out about a defensive hangover this game. We don’t have half out starters out there and this D has hung tough when they’ve needed to. Gonna be ugly on that side of the ball today though.

Shh don’t say that UTM is supposed to be like a middle school team. Defense looked bad that series and UTM made them pay. We’ve got to fire at least 3 coaches and a few waterboys before halftime to fix this.

Great for Power 5 or great for FCS?

It’s probably better than several SEC teams this year.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Check out the replay and see if they just gave them 4 points....

b. No player shall grasp and then twist, turn or pull the face mask, chin strap or any helmet opening of an opponent. It is not a foul if the face mask, chin strap or helmet opening is not grasped and then twisted, turned or pulled. When in question, it is a foul.

Did not see a grasp at all.

 

[tim]

Small looks to get tackled

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Does SEC Network not know where to put the yellow line lol

 

[ankh83]

Our Qb's got skills

 

[zeppelin128]

I see the sky is falling after ONE Martin touchdown.

As is tradition.

 

[ttocswob]

Yellow line to gain is just wrong...

 

[patrick]

News Alert.

THE SKY IS NOT FALLING.

Go Vols.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Illegal Snap?
