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

[Allvols98]

They spun the ut player around. Didn't call holding.

 

[robbymoore94]

If Hadden spent as much time and effort in playing correctly as he did running his mouth, he would be an All American.

 

[EODVOL]

For those who hated on Jeremy Banks, bet you wished he were playing tonight.

 

[C-south]

I just don’t understand how you give up 42 points to this South Carolina offense that scored 6 total points against Florida the week before.

Our defense is terrible. They have exploited it greatly.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Where's the hold there

 

[hardyemt_p]

Yep turned him almost around

Not going to complain though, #5 team shouldn't be in this predicament anyway

 

[Big Orange#1]

Have to fire Banks and Martinez hopefully after this game

 

[SAPPER 5]

View attachment 516141Is this not a hold?

OBVIOUSLY NOT. DUH.

 

[90 Vol]

Heupel has to fire the entire defensive staff in the off season if he wants to be successful here. There’s no way to spin this other than our incompetence.

 

[Palmetto_Exiled]

I really love the "Let them march down the field then let them score anyway" strategy.

 

[rdk4121]

Kamal Hadden is actually the worst DB I've ever seen at Tennessee. He's has given up over 150 yards and 14 catches through 2 and a half quarters. He's playing 15 yards off every single play. He gives up a big play and then goes and talks smack to the opposing player. I don't typically criticize players like this, but this guy is single handedly going to cost us this game. Truly disgusting effort. Just put in the walk on guy or try Walker outside.

 

[DrTNT]

I'm unsure as to why Hadden is running his mouth. He is sucking it up!

I’ve been saying the exact same thing

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Tim Banks is earning that paycheck this evening.

I think he done spent it hiring a realtor.

 

[tdd]

I haven’t said anything all game but that was a hold for sure

Quit crying. Our defense is complete junk. 42 to SC that just scored 6 on Florida. Just shut up. The defense is junk and a holding call here or there. Really. We suck.

 

[VolKnight9]

Why the heck are we not playing press coverage?? 3rd and 6 and we give them a 7 yard cushion. Makes a ton of sense.

 

[tim]

They are outplaying us…but their line is holding every play. A lot of the time blatantly.

Every damn play. It would be nice to get one friggin call

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Some guys are just upset we haven’t played well. That was an obvious hold.

For sure. We have played like crap on defense but that was a hold of there ever was one.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Huepel is flirting with disaster. You can’t take these wins away from us this year…. But you can ruin the season tonight. Variable expectations. This is the closest we’ve ever been to the playoffs and we are choking

 

[oz615]

I don’t think so. Just has to make changes on defensive staff.

That's the key question. And that is that is he gonna make any changes? Because we have have an history of making the wrong decision on the assistant coach side.

 

[Hopeful Vol]

Shi***** the bed. Gonna lose a shot at the playoffs to Shane Beamer and South Carolina. Fu***** embarrassing

Of all the coaches he’s the one I don’t want to lose too and give him his first signature win. He will be dancing all week and gloating on Finebaum.

 

[Switch 625]

Somewhere down the line is comes back on Heup

He’s ultimately responsible for this mess

 

[bpalmer28]

At least they think they are cute with orange helmets. How adorable

 

[gobravesvols16]

Here’s what I’m doing next series on D I’m having my DB’s line up right in front of the receivers and make rattler make that perfect throw over the top and if he makes it fine but no more easy completions

 

[Vawlranger88]

Yep

100%

 

[Hank Bukowski]

Yep ws gonn be 3rd & 19 but ref said Hadden was holding replay looked like incidental

Hadden is getting used and owned. And he keeps running his mouth. Embarrassing and bush-league.
