The Official #9 Tennessee vs. Austin Peay Game Thread, 5:00 PM ET, SEC Network+

Obviously, adjustments need to be made.

 

[BJWeeks]

Anyone who has watched Heupel’s offense over the past 3 years knows what’s going on right now. This is as vanilla as he’s ever been. Hiding literally EVERYTHING on offense right now.

Or he knows Joe can't throw worth a crap

Yes but Milton needs to be better

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Timing seems to be off on everything.

 

[Volz4lif3]

Waiting on Chris Doering tell us about Joe… he’s been on this Milton high horse of not being very good…

 

[dagley07]

55 yards in penalties for the Vols in the first half.

Man, you absolutely have to love this fanbase. They love you when you do well, but heaven help you is you have a bad game. It suddenly goes from "This is a great coach and team" to "This is the worst team ever. Get rid of the punter, get rid of the QB, get rid of anyone that makes a mistake". I am hoping that the message at halftime is get your head in the game and execute. I think Heupel and Halze need to figure out what flow they want to use in the second half. If it is 10 screens in a row, then a fake screen then bomb, fine. If it is play action and a bomb on the first play out of halftime, fine. They have started throwing caution to the wind on defense to try and keep maximum pressure. We should be able to take advantage of that. We have had one very poorly executed half, lets turn that around in the second half.

 

[Volnbeers]

Florida is not very good either.

We’ve been beaten by worse Florida teams

So secretive that he’s telling Joe to intentionally overthrow everybody

 

[vols 30]

I get not having wanting to show anything but good god man. Call a different set of plays.

Bubble screen, run, PA bubble screen, do it all again.

This is terrible to watch.

Yep. This is one replay I won't watch. Maybe fast forward to the 2nd half

 

[qb19]

Streaking…in Knoxville. I remember those days.

"It was the best of times"

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Hmm, my pre-game score prediction of 70-10 is looking a little shaky.

baring two safeties you are toast.

 

[Switch 625]

I hope they’re watching a replay of the Ga St loss in the locker room

Vanilla has nothing to do with execution. We have a qb that can’t make simple routine throws.

 

[igotworms]

55 yards in penalties for the Vols in the first half.

5 of those are legit

 

[GreyWolf1129]

13-6 against an FCS opponent at halftime...at home.

That's a statement. I'll leave it to you to figure out what it says.

Go Vols.

 

[nomads-11]

At the half, I'm tell Tyler Baron to tackle the QB in the RPO everytime. The running back ain't going to get much if anything.

 

[tnvols72]

If Milton cant throw the ball down field then he might as well sit down. So far he has showed that he cant. Tn cant dink and dunk and run the ball and win in the SEC. This looks like Pruitt ball. Heup cant roll with him every game like this.

 

[fossilfiction]

We’re showing everything and our azz

This is gross like the feelings from Georgia State.

 

[He_Made_It]

62-9 incoming….

 

[feathersax]

I’ll get right on that for you

Go for it.

 

[AdoptedVOL]

Game start time, Refs, whatever. There is no excuse for a TN VOL team to play this bad against AP so just stop. In a word: EMBARRASSING

 

[Pride85]

55 yards in penalties for the Vols in the first half.

And one glaring no call on pass interference in the end zone. Three tic tac holding calls on screen.

 

[Vol737]

I don't like the heavy focus on quick screen bases in the slot. We aren't throwing a lot of slants or downfield passes, everything is lateral and receivers are blocking a lot instead of running down field.

My assumption is that we are hiding are playbook and where doing that last week as well. Hopefully I am right and it isn't something worse.

Hope your assumption is correct, because this offense is so far from last year’s vertical fire works it’s almost unrecognizable.

If you’re not 100% correct you’re probably 80-90%. We aren’t doing much of anything creative or unique or anything.
