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

[Vol8188]

Offense can’t win it if we can’t stop them and barely have the ball.

TOP so far 17:35 to 7:53

Just feels like we’re going to blow it again. Sigh

It’s also only the second quarter and they got the ball first

 

[Legion of Doom]

Jam Miller might run for 300

Miller got hurt today. Their backup may though.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

Just wait until next week. Going to get drilled

 

[chuckb1448]

The green run was the backbreaker. No excuse for that

We can't cover the Flats

 

[jeffmcflurry27]

We are going to lose to Arkansas again

It’s not even halftime, dude.

I’d be curious how you respond when real life gets stressful.

 

[tnvols72]

If Heup sticks with Banks after this year then I will question if he can get it done.

 

[volmanNC]

Will we be bowl eligible this year?

 

[SCRocket]

Looks like we are going to be the first upset out of the top 25 today.

 

[87&91ALUM]

17-10 hogs….4:36 in the second quarter. A must TD score on this UT possession.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Not scoring a TD on that turnover may very well end up costing us the game.

This defense is really bad. Like worst in conference.

We gotta be towards the bottom of P5 schools

 

[djohnnyg]

Man, are we gonna lose to friggin 2-3 Arkansas at home?

 

[EastTNVol6240]

This team is going to lose multiple games if they don't find someone who can tackle and they better find a linebacker with some speed. Teelander cannot run anybody down.

Insert a period after games and delete the rest.

 

[VOLifornia]

This Defense will lose us games.

 

[jhcrane14]

We are THE WORST 3rd down team in nation year in and year out

Last year was the exception because we had a dominant defensive line. But I don’t understand why we cannot be more consistent on defense. It’s almost like the offensive coordinator knows what we’re going to do.

Extremely frustrating!!!

 

[Volizona]

If Heupel loses to this inferior team 2 years in a row I’m finished with him. Horrible performance today so far. He needs to light a fire NOW.

 

[90 Vol]

Guys, Arkansas is simply the better football team. Our defense is an outright disgrace.

 

[Rockytoptilidie]

Guy talks smack. Gives bulletin board material. Repeatedly taunts our fans.

Banks has no plan for him. Dude may set records on us.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Do we teach angles while in pursuit?

Everyone calls Telander slow, including me, but I think this is more the issue. He was chasing the ball like a peewee player. You know this guy is an athlete, set the edge instead of running right at him.

 

[patrick]

Y’all are hilarious and you do this every single game under Banks, always making excuses and baffled how every team plays “great” against Tennessee. Banks is horrendous and always has been. The fact that Tennessee has to score 30 points just to have a chance is comical

Check Banks statistics. Had a great year last year but otherwise he is average.

Average recruiter on a good day. Only thing saving him is the best d-line coach (and great recruiter) in Rodney Garner.

 

[CaliVol2009]

Jam Miller might run for 300

He ain’t playing next week. He got knocked unconscious today.

 

[TNVOLnTX]

You have, by statistics, a top 4 sec offense vs one of the worst sec defenses. You cant be surprised with the results can you?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I think I might overseed the yard

its a night game. I may just go to bed early.

 

[Spawn]

Promote Inge at halftime.

 

[james_govols]

The defense is very poorly coached.

They can't even handle a simple read option. This is coming off a bye.

 

[rocketskates]

We HAVE to score this possession, before halftime or I'm afraid we are COOKED

Score here and come out and score after half. They haven’t trailed the entire game and until we get them down by a few scores they will just keep this methodical bleed the clock offense
