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

[Clad in Big Orange]

The past has no bearing on the current season.

Somebody forgot to tell South Carolina that last week's games meant they were supposed to surrender prior to tonight's game.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

There's nothing idiotic about that. They've shown very little growth.

That’s so wrong. Playing safeties back in zone with Banks out is going to eat us up. That’s not Banks’s fault.

 

[wmcovol]

Throwing twice was a mistake. Kick the Fg now.

 

[mikevol1]

Hooker is tight

Looks like Georgia all over again

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I like running Hooker inside the 5. It's what we should have done on 2nd down.

 

[Caz]

Get 3 here and let the defense start doing their thing.

Unfortunately, that’s the issue. Defense been doing it’s thing!

 

[Jxn Vol]

Get 3 here and let the defense start doing their thing.

Our defense’s thing is the reason we are in this mess

 

[1989Vol]

This has been a weird ass day - hopefully the Vols stay in character. By fiddy.

bump

Appears it's gonna take a hunnerd.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Got to take the points. I can’t believe this is even being discussed

 

[VOL RN]

Hooker is rattled.

Rattler’ed

 

[UTfan94]

It's up to you offense.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

He’s in charge of staff hiring decisions last time I checked

Sorry Mrs Martinez, your boy has done a stellar job at UT.

 

[jaguinn5]

Yall stop blaming the helmets. Thats just stupid. Blame the coaches and players for not being prepared and focused.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Yes only experts can see his greatness lol he isn’t good at his job

Ok Yardboy.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Surprised they didn’t run it there. I mean if your already going for it on 4th….you should run on 3rd.

I was going to say the same but hooker missed an easy td

 

[Allvols98]

I know he was open, but..if you were going to go for it on 4th, then why not call a run on 3rd? It gets that closer to the goal line

 

[lifeisdeep]

So many of you need to either give away your Vols gear or burn it. You are pathetic.

Either support the team or
STFU!

How about when we feel the need for your permission to have an opinion we’ll let you know?

 

[ttocswob]

Hooker is rattled.

Rattler is hooked.

 

[vols 30]

Should kick it

 

[djohnnyg]

Hooker missing on an easy td....like Georgia game.

 

[Other_Guy]

And it’s an effing stupid argument because of the lack of players we have. The players we do have are low star guys. But yeah-our head coach can’t hire guys

Explain an average, maybe even below average offense doing what they did last year and being #1 this year.

 

[Bollweevil]

Reckon they brought the white helmets?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Looks like Georgia all over again

Yep. He definitely doesn't seen to handle the pressure of playing on the road well.

 

[CAVPUT]

This team just wasn't ready to play. Nothing looks good. When this offense has to call time to avoid a delay of game because our receivers weren't close to being lined up, I think that tells you a lot. Heupel needs to get points here. Kick the FG. You can't come away empty. Do that and USC will be really juiced and might just "boat race" us.

 

[sportsnut624]

This is a mistake. Now if we get it I retract my statement
