The Official #15 Tennessee vs. UAB Game Thread, 12:45 ET, SEC Network

[CoachClick]

It's on Banks!!!!!

Banks-tinez

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Sick of hearing the injury excuse, something is wrong with the secondary

Yeah it has nothing to do with injury. That was pure confusion on our defense. It looks like UAB has found something in our defense to exploit.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Two wide open third and longs. This may be like 2022 in that we just have to out score people. Because this defense can’t stop anybody

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

Ok, it's 28 - 0. Let's see the backups. I'd like to get a good look at George running the offense. Probably be Merk first tho.

28-7, and if the defense keeps playing like this the 1st string offense will need to play the entire game to make sure this doesn't get too uncomfortable.

 

[VolGirl81]

I know we’re up 28 pts, well now 21, but dag our secondary is tough to watch. If I were anyone playing us, Id pass the entire game.

 

[90 Vol]

We don’t have 3rd and long issues

The UAB offense apparently doesn’t have 3 and long issue either.

 

[Vol8188]

Miss St and Arky is gonna torch this defense

You can place a bet if you truly believe that. I’m sure Bet MGM has an over/under on points.

But we both know you’re just a sad troll without any money

 

[Swiftybaby]

Well that drive was the worst coverage I’ve seen in a long time

 

[The Tall Gguy]

I didn't want to believe it, but this looks like the "highly effective" mustang package defense.
Just AWFUL.

 

[jhcrane14]

Tim Banks giving up Big 3rd downs on that drive again.

 

[Rocky Top T]

We need to consider a new plan on 3rd and long.

Get rid of Banks would help with that

 

[zeppelin128]

Ah still can't defend the slant, a Tennessee tradition for 30 years.

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Yet people will be predicting Vols by fiddy next week

Yep, we will have to outscore them cause Lebby and that offense will score on us plenty. same with Arkansas and Bama

 

[SubVet676]

Anyone with any comments about how 3rd and long issues overstated?

3rd and 15. Kitna can't hit a target under pressure. Vols rush 4 and play zone.

This secondary is going to absolutely get killed by a good QB. Like Stockton did. And there are a few of them ahead of us.

Banks is hot garbage against good teams, and today against UAB.

8-4.

 

[LTVol]

Nah. He is the only one JA is missing. Dude has been open on deep balls by 3 or 4 steps multiple times today

He has trouble snaring 50/50 balls. Brazzell much better at that

 

[Vol8188]

The UAB offense apparently doesn’t have 3 and long issue either.

Yeah, we gave up a total of score so far. That’s not evidence of “an issue”

 

[sonofUT62]

3rd and chavis…now 3rd and banks

To be fair he sucks on 4th down too.

 

[VFL 89]

Houston, we have a problem! And it’s in the defense. Pitiful

 

[Vol8188]

What happened, did you see your wife?

 

[firestorm]

As expected Tennessee outplaying an outmatched foe that doesn’t have a strong defense to contain a formidable Vols offense.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

This reminds me of the Derek Dooley defenses.

 

[vol94]

lmaooooo lets go Cuse!

Dabo is DONE.

Clemson will come back imo. I hope I am wrong as I only want one ACC team to make playoffs - FL State most likely.

 

[Voltopia]

Man, that ABC SEC theme is just so damn mid. Just. Ugh. Utterly bland.

 

[Allvols98]

Just me or Joey consistently under throw deep balls?

 

[Caz]

Yeah it has nothing to do with injury. That was pure confusion on our defense. It looks like UAB has found something in our defense to exploit.

Yeah, like the middle of the field. It's always seemingly like that
