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

[MyAll]

We needed to blow this team out to keep our playoff hopes alive

No we didn't. Just win

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Buillding character in the fans I think because it seems they are playing to test our patience

Join me for a tankard of your favorite adult beverage, Gandalf. It dulls the pain.

 

[chuckb1448]

Hooker seems off on the long ball tonight; passes look a lot more 'floaty' than normal.

Very

 

[A Typical Vol Fan]

Joe Milton???

Our fanbase is incredible dude lol

 

[74charger]

D has no answers as of now, better make some kind of adjustments at half or we’ll give up 60!

 

[alavolfan]

What’s wrong with us? We never have to call TO due to the clock.

They are in our head. AND We were thinking this game would be a cake walk.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Get to the half with it a 1 score game and we win. They don’t have enough dudes to keep doing this

Agreed. I’m watching the last 4 mins of this half

 

[tnvols72]

Do we ever throw in the middle of the field?

Cant get Hooker to look at any other part of the field that Tillman is not on

 

[VOLifornia]

As much as I love Tillman, he’s still laboring. Put Keyton in! His hands are amazing and he’s at least healthy.

 

[CaliVol2009]

You always have one of these guys.

He’s right, the over looks great.

 

[volKano]

. Cause Hooker is too focused on Tillman most of the time

Hyatt is going against a great CB. Hooker appears to tense up in road games and over throw everyone.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

He got grabbed!

He still stopped and could have ran under it with his speed. Unless he came up gimpy.

 

[Frank Duncan]

dress like syracuse, play like syracuse

 

[Hopeful Vol]

Plenty of game left but we gotta have 7 on this drive

 

[MeanOrange]

W can score 50 but USC may score 65.

 

[90 Vol]

Joe Milton???

Yes. Hooker is rattled for some reason.

 

[tntornadox]

What's up with the 15 min timeouts?

Noticed that too, they are SO long tonight. Mini-halftime's every single break!

 

[Stephen Gray]

I think being in the road is effecting our communication a bit. South Carolina’s ability to get off to a fast start has their crowd completely invested. Not a bad plan against is if you can do it. Kind of unusual for Heupel to have to use a timeout to save us from a delay penalty.

 

[knox73]

Hang in there guys. This is an exciting game and SC is throwing everything they have. Vols need to score here and then tighten up defense. Hopefully Gamecocks have used up trick plays.

 

[bpalmer28]

Everyone tonight. All 11.

At least they think they look cool with the orange helmets. With all the Twitter drama they’ve acted like teenagers all week. Not surprised

 

[Other_Guy]

SC is in our heads
They are in our head. AND We were thinking this game would be a cake walk.

Who is this we?

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

Not to derail this, but did you see the report that the shooter said something to the extent of y'all keep messing with me? While tragic, seems very targeted.

Nah, I saw a partial report or something about the Suspect saying he was bullied by them... Yeah, it seems targeted... SMDH!!

 

[mdsvol]

Sorry, I have to say that our DC and corners/safety coach are not good at all. Two years and little improvement. The defense tonight isn't covering anyone and are constantly out of position. Very disappointing. The offense can't always carry the team.

 

[UTFanHades]

I'll never recover from this burn

Thanks for showing me you have no argument

 

[rocketskates]

Hyatt and Hooker too worried about running up the score leading up to this game, LOL.

I think you’re right. They thought they’d waltz in here and score 70. But honestly I thought so too.
