The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #2 [1] Houston Game Thread, 2:20 PM ET, CBS

[volsarelife1]

Kentucky first game all over again.....I thought learned our lesson. I guess not.

Yep. Looks like the first Kentucky game all over. Identical almost

 

[NATHAN05]

Houston lost to Bama and Auburn regular season and it wasnt even close...........really thought with our schedule and tier 1 wins we had a shot at putting this team down......almost looks like the stage is too big and we came out tight and have just gotten more desperate falling behind. Still proud of this season.

 

[Orange931]

The worst we were behind against KY was at 3 to 2. I think we are down by a whole lot more this time around

Well who was it we were down like 17-5 in the first quarter? It wasn’t that long ago and we won it.

 

[VolJarhead]

Houston is better than I expected. I knew they were good, but didn't think they had been challenged enough

 

[RiseToTheTop]

They are just better and this offense was never one that was gonna win you a title.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

they’re just straight up better & more athletic at the end of the day

Yep, but I have to say I'm surprised at how much better.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Houston is an elite team. It's hard to mount comebacks against elite teams

 

[Memphisvol87]

I wish that was the case. Would be easier to accept the terrible start. But simply isn’t the case

It’s simply on display right in front of the nation right now.

 

[Volfan574]

Rick needs to give our guys some Xanax

 

[HeuperDrive]

I wish that was the case. Would be easier to accept the terrible start. But simply isn’t the case

Uh, hate to break it to you, but it is the case lol. Houston is a 1 seed for a reason.

This is a pathetic performance but come on guys.

 

[DocVol]

time to admit KY is a really really bad team

 

[Other_Guy]

I don't think the gods want Tenn in the FF. This feels like the best we're ever going to get.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

How are we this bad right now? Barnes and staff have an F so far. Hopefully they can work that up to an A+

 

[tnvols72]

TN must Find POST player for next season. Cade and Okpara don’t have an inside game. Okpara isn’t strong enough.

He better find some shooters

 

[JCP201]

We are a good team. I know everything is om the line for these seniors. Seems like nerves.

 

[Caz]

Identical to Bama/Duke

No, this far worse

 

[FranklinVFL]

I do not think we could have scripted a worse start.

 

[Vol737]

Very inauspicious start. Our size doesn’t bother them and certainly not our poor shooting.

 

[rocketskates]

We are very evenly matched with them. The biggest difference is the shots are not falling for us. Good shots, but aren’t falling and it doesn’t look like the defense can hold on long enough until we start heating up offensively.

 

[VFL1127]

What's held TN in check? Themselves!

 

[landscapingvol]

Yeah, people really need to stop pretending that Houston is some bad team. They’re a one seed for a f'ckin reason

People also need to quit pretending that they are that much better athletically, they aren’t but Kelvin Sampson is a better coach that has them much better prepared for the game

 

[NATHAN05]

2/15 FG so far..........have we shot that bad any game this year? @ UF maybe?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

How are we this bad right now? Barnes and staff have an F so far. Hopefully they can work that up to an A+

Better do something fast, we're shook.

 

[RAVOL]

Have to stay patient Vols. Run your Offense. No such thing as a 10 point shot. Now Houston is doing outstanding job in man to man and we are not able to make tough shots. Houston has made 4 already. Difference in game tough shots we are 0 they have 4

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Over under 30 scored in the game for us? Lol
