The Official #24/#18 Tennessee vs. Syracuse Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ABC

[Caz]

Why in the hell can we not get off the field on these 3rd and 4th longs? Banks.. adjust please

 

[posivol]

banks dosnt learn northing....zone again

 

[captainsword]

did we make the best off season trade or what.

Pretty clear CJH wasn’t devastated to lose Nico. I suspect he was confident he could be replaced.

 

[TN1111]

Bout done with this 4-man rush zone defense.

He does it all the time.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

We're allergic to covering the middle of the field

 

[Spawn]

Wonder when Banks will stop doing zone on 3rd and long

 

[Sarms58]

Way to be that guy.....and thanks for standing in for me.

 

[volmoon]

WR was lined up offside

 

[joevol33]

Oh no

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Going to have to start playing O players on D by the 4th qtr.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Defense should shut them out this half but are giving up way too many chunk plays

 

[tntornadox]

Our zone D gives up a lot of big plays...

often on 3rd and 4th down as well. Our D is good at stopping them until the down that matters most.

 

[Big Orange Captain]

this gonna be a 5 hour game

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Too much time to throw. Injuries up front are hurting us

 

[dalton_vol]

Can we not stop 3rd and long

 

[Deathandtaxes]

Defense looks gassed

 

[BruisedOrange]

Our zone defense sucks.

Depends on what they want it to accomplish.

 

[AntiochVol81]

I know one thing the defense has to practice the zone Jesus it’s been horrible

 

[ALLINVOL9]

Good lord at the injuries. Hope we can field a team next week.

 

[MiddleVol76]

Need to clean up these third and fourth and longs.

 

[patrick]

third and long, our defense needs work

Drops 7 into zone coverage (and several DBs totally bail) and no pressure equals 1st down.

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Defense should shut them out this half but are giving up way too many chunk plays

Yea it’s frustrating to watch

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Bout done with this 4-man rush zone defense.

Not trying to show ETSU anything

 

[Gandalf]

D is slowing down a step. I am thinking some conditioning issues

 

[Deathandtaxes]

They are picking on Spillman… you gotta live with those early and let him learn.
