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

[igotworms]

Combo of players not ready, coaches not prepared & SC throwing everything at them.

Agreed

 

[saxvol]

Banks still has not adjusted, perhaps waiting for halftime?

 

[ttocswob]

Lotsa gadget plays that don’t work without holding…

 

[Other_Guy]

We have players and depth on offense. Keep strawmanning though.

You mean when he turned a nobody in Hooker into a superstar? Or Tillman out of nowhere? Keyton out of nowhere? Hyatt out of nowhere? OL run blocking when they couldn't last year?
Keep making excuses. Every week, Banks makes trash opposing offenses look like the actual #1. This game is embarrassing.

 

[vols40]

We look slow

 

[djohnnyg]

9-3 or 10-2 is still a really good season.

 

[knoxvol52]

Heupel should not get a dime til this defense is fixed

 

[Cartervol]

Why is the defense just sitting back and waiting on everything. This is sooooooo bad.

It's what Banks does.

 

[Dudleys87]

Tell me did Banks and company not know they would throw everything and the sink at them tonight?

Damnit.

 

[Coachmike17]

Because Heupel is about to hang 60 on South Carolina after TCU & Michigan squeaking by a bunch of mid squads.

Make sure to bet the over.

kinda looks like a dumb post now huh

 

[615vols]

This is a talent/athleticism issue.

Come on dude… nobody’s buying that garbage. We have enough talent to at least slow South Carolina down

 

[cwbytruckers]

We are not a top five TEAM. Defense is lacking skill players.

 

[chuckb1448]

4 possessions 4 touchdowns

It's sad, I've taken up for the Defense all year but tonight is overwhelming, and it's going to cost us

 

[tdd]

288 yards in 20 minutes of football. FIRE BANKS. ENOUGH SAID. HE HAS SHOWN NOTHING, CANT RECRUIT. EVERY DEFENSE COACH BUT GARDNER CAN GO

 

[The Original Fade]

If we had a defense we'd be really good. Next year we'll fix it.

I think being 9-1 and #5 is really good but ok

 

[EODVOL]

Dont think so. They flew though.

Did they

 

[87&91ALUM]

Whatever D Tennessee is calling tonight…please stop and do the opposite. Gotta give SC and UGA credit…making our D look like Podunk High. At this pace, should have taken over 100. Hope SC runs outta gas on offense.

 

[patrick]

Worst defensive display I have seen in several years. No heart no drive no fn nothing.

get them the hell out play a damn backup.

 

[Volswin98]

Bullcrap
Exaggerate much?

Name a worse game than this???

 

[orangerush]

Beamer ball is embarrassing the Vols

 

[KeyVol14]

Those other teams are undefeated. We can't afford to struggle or lose.

Well aware

 

[Palmetto_Exiled]

Are we playing with only 10 men on defense, this is shockingly bad

 

[G0V0LS33]

I'll take the over on that.

They are pushing 300 yards total already.

I was not saying total. Passing yards

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

They thought they just had to show up.

The players didn't, but many idiots on here did.

 

[DaddyChad]

This is so damn embarassing. South Carolina has been **** all year long on offense and the Gamecocks have 28 points and 300 yards of offense in 1.5 quarters. WHAT A JOKE.

Exactly. We lose this game we need some changes
