If they do not blitz they age giving up a TD every dam series

And I'd they do blitz they give up a TD every series

 

[joevol33]

Raise your hand if you thought SC would not pick up that 3rd and 20. Lol

3rd and long is automatic on us. Has been for years.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

**** how many qbs have thrown for over 300 on us this year...I bet it's astounding

 

[Sarms58]

Not at the rate he is picking this team apart with no coverage.

I have definitely seen a few calls that could be called, but I’ve seen them on both sides. We are getting kicked in the teeth by their game plan. Again all I am saying is the reffing is NOT the reason we are losing this game at this point.

We can’t get any pressure

 

[tim]

I’d rather lose to ky

 

[newyorkvol]

We’re about to be the laughingstock of allege football.

 

[AllVols]

We list this game during the week before we even walked on the field. Lack of taking the game seriously.

Are you stalking me. lol

I agree. We are just being out played. Get ready to hear from everyone how we are overrated.

 

[YankeeVol]

I hope SC drops 60

 

[MDsweetT]

How the hell do you not bring the house on 3rd and 20?!?!?

unreal. They aren’t running anything exotic. We have no concept of what’s happening defensively. If we don’t get pressure, we’re useless. Gotta hold ‘em to a fg. Otherwise, this deficit might be too much. I love this team but very disappointed right now. Hyatt has been off since the Georgia game. Hook is off. We’re not running the ball well and can’t hit shots. Rattler looks like how he was touted look but we’re making it easy. Whatever we got this last 15 boys, empty the tank.

 

[knoxchief]

I agree. I don’t understand firing coaches year two. We need better players. Martinez isn’t that bad.

And just what game have you been watching? Our secondary has been terrible all year. You can't teach someone to play 10 yards off the receiver and expect to not be picked apart!

 

[Other_Guy]

It was guaranteed.

I said pick up 17 and get it on 4th down. Silly me.

 

[Dudleys87]

Was it Martinez or Banks who continues to call a soft zone done by 10+?

 

[MeanOrange]

SC going to score again.

 

[lifeisdeep]

This getting to be Sal Sunseri level defense.

Worse. Sunseri wasn’t this incompetent against SC.

 

[rocketskates]

Nasty run. These boys want it and we just take it

 

[615vols]

LSU. Bama. We wont get a NY6

Yep. This is a bad loss.

 

[sonofUT62]

Willie Martinez and Banks are stealing from this program.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Jeremy Banks was a key loss, not the reason we are getting beat. Question for the recruiting experts, if you fire Banks and Martinez...what is the impact on recruiting?

 

[QuarterSawnVol]

This thread is something else tonight

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

It helps you have a good night when the refs bale you out every time the other team does anything good or gets a stop. This has been the biggest ref job I've seen in a long time.

I hate to say it, but this is just South Carolina’s offense kicking our butts man… we can’t blame the refs on this.

 

[2VolsDeep]

Weak

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I agree. I don’t understand firing coaches year two. We need better players. Martinez isn’t that bad.

This game proves beyond all doubt he is not.

 

[ENGRVOL]

If there is any good hopefully that will come from this is it will open heupel’s eyes to that we cannot win anything with this secondary and make a change

 

[joevols89]

#14 Charles busted coverage. He went with the deep man when the Safety had him covered and left his man on a corner route 25 yds out. Just a stupid move by an inexperienced player. Charles has looked lost all night. Good athlete just not capable of playing DB in this league yet. Maybe never ....

Charles has experience. Not like it’s his first game or even first year in the system. Inexcusable.

 

[Palmetto_Exiled]

Weird thing to think but not winning this without a couple of turnovers
