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

[bpalmer28]

With this defense we don’t deserve to be in the playoffs. Need to pull it together.

Yep.

 

[Vol737]

How disappointing. We better see A LOT of new starters on the secondary next year. These guys can’t play against a decent pass offense.

 

[TN1111]

How in the world did this team beat Bama with this defense…

We didn't stop Bama either...but they had an offense. South Carolina doesn't. This is the worst offense they've had in years. They're horrible but look like world beaters.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

This defense would get us embarrassed by anyone in the top 4 at the moment.

Ain’t that the truth

 

[ILOVEMYBIGVOLS]

If the offense could make such an improvement from year one to year two, why couldn’t the defense at least slightly improve?

 

[Hopeful Vol]

They’ll be dancing on us for the next year over it.

Yep

 

[Putbacks]

That’s how you kick off

 

[posivol]

setting records against our d....lets go hook

 

[DaddyChad]

Nothing to do with our d has not been world beaters in any game this season except for maybe Kentucky.

LSU and pitt as well.

 

[patrick]

Way to go FN TN defense. Sucking arss. Worst defense performance I have ever seen.

 

[Delmar]

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.

Because our defense is bad. And it’s obviously worse without Banks.

 

[GhostVol]

D***..... these announcers acting like the game's over

 

[Mccage]

5 getting eat up...then runs his mouth...I had rather them get beat long than give them a 10 yd cushion

 

[beachvol23]

I can’t see how we pull out of this. Defense is Swiss cheese and it’s just easy for them. We have no business losing this one.

Yeah specially because they have no running game!!!

 

[Dudleys87]

The defense is playing like trash. But the hold was obvious

They’ve overcome those before.
They haven’t been Tennessee since opening kick.

You want people to stop saying Tennessee isn’t real then stop having games like this.

There is no excuse.

 

[kptvol1]

5 TDs in 6 possessions is what Tennessee was supposed to do

 

[sechamp2012]

Does anybody know why Banks is out

 

[tdd]

Vandy saying bring on the vols

 

[LittleVol]

Bend AND break defense.

These dudes collectively are just giving our whole season away. The defense.

Yeah,.SC is throwing different looks but we're not even trying to initiate the point of attack.

Tim Banks is an amateur that doesn't belong on this level.

 

[patrick]

Game Over.

 

[Smokey7]

Idk, 2012 Troy was pretty bad

It sickens me

 

[Switch 625]

Of course we give up several “all time” stats.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Pressure. Have to score every time touch ball cause d sucks

 

[VolGirl81]

Most points they’ve scored against a top 5 team in history of the program. Good lord

 

[volmoon]

ANOTHER bad pass
