The Official #12 Tennessee vs. Arkansas Game Thread, 4:15 PM ET, SEC Network

[Big Orange Captain]

Not even close. I cant believe how bad the defense is. They may actually be getting worse.

And to think many people including myself thought the defense wouldn’t regress too much from last year.

 

[G0V0LS33]

Huep needs to put some feelers out there for a defensive coordinator. They are in line to get 600 yards rushing

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Satterwhite at center

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Just wait till it’s a fourth down followed by game tying 2 pt and we’re lost on each play with timeouts and don’t TAKE A SINGLE ONE.

Hey easy on our coaching staff. We were saving those.

 

[Go47]

yep and arky last

Yes - but according to many those stats are not what they seem! You haven’t looked at context to know we really are good on defense!

 

[tnvols72]

Banks needs more transfers. They seem less lost.

Banks needs to be gone

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Did they just say Ark had 155 yards already????

yea

 

[Sarms58]

We need first downs and run some clock on our way to score…the D was on the field 11:30 minutes in the first Qt

 

[Sk8nby]

What defense??? Maybe just warming up..

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

We have a lot of talented pieces on defense, somebody please explain to me like I’m 5, how we’re this bad.

I can't explain that no more than I can explain why TN didn't run the ball after the Turnover

 

[molsen81]

A pig wearing a pig hat. How fitting…..

 

[runthrutheT]

you aren’t going to win many games when you can’t run or stop the run. Right now we can’t do either well

 

[VolFaninFla]

Word on the street is our defense has holes in it!

GBO

Not enough time outs for as much as were out in f position

 

[OmahaOmaha]

Hate to see Heupel keep holding onto someone who is only good on 1st and 2nd down.

"Nobody is bigger than the program". Ok Josh. Go find an elite DC.

 

[Butch s]

The old 4/3 defense. 4 gods sake hold them to at least 3

 

[adam.vol]

Banks needs to be gone

Fine. Just replace him with someone really good.

 

[Vol8188]

You’re getting 6 yards a carry running it. You’re getting 8-10 yards on the short passes and you take repeated deep shots? Just drive down and score

We did that after a turnover against Georgia and everyone complained. Some of yall just can’t be happy

 

[Dergibvol]

Let's see the play calling here. Didn't love the two deep throws but honestly the second was a TD but Matthews just mailed it in

 

[Matt2496]

Who’s still defending Banks?

 

[OrangeTsar]

Last time I looked, our D was ranked next to the last in the SEC.

With the recruiting classes we have had the last few years; we should be near the top

 

[BigALWiLson]

We squandered a chance to put them in the hole. Gonna be a long day if they gift wrap a turnover and all we do is take deep shots. That series left something to be desired. The defense needs to wake up.

 

[Vol737]

Hogs already have 115 yards rushing and 164 overall

So, you’re saying we got em right where we want em??

 

[Cartervol]

This Dline dropped off so bad after last year. Whole front 7 is way to average to below average. Should be much better at this point..

 

[JCHateSteve]

Come on O. We need you today.
