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

Yep. This is why none of us expected to be here today. Because we realized we still had the defense of a 5-6 win team. But I still think we turn this around tonight

Im not so confident. We haven't stopped them yet. We are actually looking worse as the game goes on.

 

[NEO]

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

Not sure about that.

This feels like the team felt they won before it even started and brought no intensity.

 

[DaddyChad]

Jury is out on Banks, but Martinez has got to go. All season long this has been what it’s been. All season.

Yeah he sucked in the past. Was willing to give him another chance but not much has changed need a change there

 

[Volsfannn]

I've got roasted here for a long time for saying defense is just as/more important as the offense is. Offense will win only win you so much eventually defense must win one. Look at UGA..

 

[hUTch2002]

Those poor kids from UVA. This is very frustrating but some things are definitely more important.

 

[robbymoore94]

Did the defense travel with the team? Asking for a friend.

 

[HendoCinco]

Averaging 8 commercials….about as ridiculous as our defense.

 

[Orange931]

I’m gonna take a break from the game. I can’t watch this circus. I’m 38, this team makes me feel like I’m 88

 

[bpalmer28]

Elijah Simmons just got pushed backwards 20 yards. WAKE UP CUPCAKES!!!

 

[VolFan4life24]

We suck. Been hoping others in the top 4 would lose today and didn happen. Looks like we are gonna take ourselves out

 

[djohnnyg]

Great offense...terrible defense. The story of the 2022 Vols.

 

[chuckb1448]

Gosh Dang it, Score and Wake Up Defense

 

[joevols89]

Gotta keep scoring. SCs Mickey Mouse offense can’t keep this up

What makes you think that? They are moving the ball at will, even with the wildcat offense that went out of style a decade ago.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Umm, hard to relax like this, as we were at home last week. But thanks for blowing smoke.

Worry if it’s two touchdowns starting the 3rd.

 

[CAVPUT]

This game isn’t over. Lots of football. I don’t think they sustain this offense.

What's gonna stop them? Certainly not our defense.

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

Sweet Jesus that's a heartbreaking story from UVA.... Just awful..

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Bullcrap
Exaggerate much?

Actually he’s right. We are on pace to give up 800 yards.

 

[TopDog4TN]

I would rather lose to anyone other than South Carolina. Pathetic right now is all that can be said about this defensive effort or lack there of. This offense isn't good and were making them look like they can score at will against anyone.

 

[Hopeful Vol]

McCullough stinks

 

[tim]

Please keep all gamecocks hamstrings healthy as they run wide open.

 

[vol94]

A defense Giving up 288 yards with nine min left in the first Quarter is inexcusable.

 

[rusty11]

Banks was apparently the whole defense

Banks is out....why??

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

I expected USCjr to come out and look good against us with a good chance to win, not score 4 TDs in 20 mins. Team overconfident and talking **** on social media.

This is crazy.. wtf is this

 

[vols40]

The obvious problem with the defense is the orange helmets.

I hate the orange helmets. Here's hoping we turn things around and never see them again

 

[beachvol23]

Slaughter, McCullough, Flowers, McDonald need scholarship taken away

Hey pal, check the roster two are seniors anyway
