The Official #5 Tennessee @ South Carolina Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Vanhalo]

Are we playing the 96’ Gators?

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Just a tad off balance on D right now. We will settle in

 

[GrizzlyVol]

Jesus our secondary

 

[Hopeful Vol]

def coord has to go or either our db are just trash

Martinez needs to go

 

[casetopia]

Serious question. Have we ever had an elite defensive coordinator?

Chavis

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Offense has to be thinking if we don’t score we go down 2 scores. Hope they don’t put to much pressure on themselves. Keep scoring and make USCjr get into a shootout.

 

[hardyemt_p]

HH will outgun Rattler

Gonna have to!!!

 

[Delmar]

Here we go again. DB’s can’t cover me. And so far not much pass rush. Been a steady theme most of the year. May have to outscore them tonight gang.

 

[beachvol23]

I back up what other posters said today and all season:

Martinez must go

 

[joevol33]

Where's all that blowout energy you all had . I'm concerned also

 

[Shakinthefat]

Big loss for us tonight, guess no more playoff talk now.

Easy now

 

[ttocswob]

is banks out

Banks the player out per Vol network… don’t know about Banks the coach.

 

[tnvols72]

Serious question. Not saying you’re wrong by any means. But why do guys like Doug Mathews, Eric Ainge, 3hl, and other radio guys praise Tim for what he is doing with the talent he has? Is it scheme or talent or a combo of both?

A good DB coach will put what talent they have in better positions than Martinez does

 

[VFL28]

def coord has to go or either our db are just trash

Willie Martinez doesn't help either.

 

[Vol423]

I’m not overreacting. We’re down in score right now and I’m pretty confident. I could just see a one loss and a struggle could get us jumped.

You obviously didn’t watch any other games today.

 

[volfanhill]

How can a guy on this Defense let a team like SC beat them that badly and call themselves a man ??

I challenge you to go up to a single one of them and ask that question

 

[SouthKnoxVol70]

I told everyone over on the Rattler post and I got ask “based on what “, just keep watching .

 

[Flipdaddy]

Volnation! Relax! We’ll put 55 on them. They’re throwing everything they’ve got.

 

[chuckb1448]

They are giving us their best shot. Class will show itself over time. Just need to keep answering

I hope you're right

 

[saxvol]

Rushing 4 and sitting in soft zone with our thumb in our azz ain’t gonna get it done.

I know right we are getting burned anyway, stop playing it safe its not working, bring the house Banks.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Mizzou game was close at halftime

That's my point. What was the final score?

 

[temptn]

Heuple is going to have to call defense plays too.

 

[peachtreecornersVOL81]

It was 28-24 in the second half.

At least we kept the lead though

 

[Clayton]

Just win. I don’t care if it’s by one point. All these Coot fans will be running around acting like they won the national championship if they win.

You mean like UT against Alabama?

 

[tntornadox]

These are some of the longest commercial breaks ever.
