Tennessee isn’t going to lose today or next week

Hah, Bama will kill this uninspired team next week.

 

[ibvolman]

We play like this we lose to Bama, OU, UF, and god forbid Vandy.

 

[JMSqb11]

This is soooo easy for Petrino. We have no answer. Gotta go score for score and have one more possession than them in the second half. Bama and OU will wear us the freak out.

lol more fearmongering and cowardice with OU.

Tennessee isn’t going to lose today or next week

That’s the mindset coach needs to put into these boys during halftime. He really needs to go back and reinforce General Neyland last maxim. Take the fight to the opponent and keep it there for a full 60 minutes.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

We're gonna secure petrino the HC job at Arkansas today

I don't think beating this team is that big of a win.

 

[wmcovol]

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

He just signed a new contract & DWhite throws quarters around like they’re manhole covers

 

[rocketskates]

If we can’t get them down by multiple scores it’s gonna be a long day. They are feeling zero pressure and will just keep chewing the clock.

 

[patrick]

They have beat us 4 times in a Row... its Power vs Speed... I said this earlier. We gotta get another turnover to create a change here

I don’t disagree but what are we going to do if we get another turnover? Run another haphazard series of play calls? That series after the to was just bad. Like Heupel had no idea what he wanted to do.

 

[CAVPUT]

Funny how refs stop our forward momentum when we push to the endzone but if our opponent does it they let him go for an extra 5 seconds

Come on. It's not the refs. Arky is whipping us.

 

[Cartervol]

I knew our defense would take a step back this year but uhhhh... how is it THIS bad?

They ran backwards a mile.

 

[tnvols72]

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.

Well to be honest he had a great year until he played teams with a decent off and then we had to out score the teams

 

[lilesrt]

Don’t worry. Tickets will get affordable once the rich people lose interest. Maybe our working class can salvage the remaining home games.

I laughed!

 

[djwes]

3 losses over this 4 game stretch if defense can’t get the fundamentals right

 

[OmahaOmaha]

Hogs can run the ball and control this game, Vols looking like the upset special today

Not an upset when you lose to a better team....

 

[Go47]

Arkansas has 242 yards rushing in the first half.

 

[joevol33]

looks like we need tds every possesion

If not, we're going to get embarrassed

 

[Other_Guy]

I don’t call people out. I just post. But ok.

Dude what's your deal. People do the "1st time?" Joke all the time. No one is taking shots.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

This is the best QB we've faced all year.

False. But we will make him look that way. They’re running all over us. The QB ain’t got a whole lot to do with that.

 

[Orangecrush#27]

This is the worst I’ve seen a run defense under Rodney Gardner. depth and exp showing

 

[GhostVol]

Tennessee isn’t going to lose today or next week

From your keyboard to the deity of your choice's monitor

great pass

 

[bpalmer28]

STALEY THE GOAT

 

[joevol33]

Needed that

 

[C-south]

D absolutely sucks. O has gone conservative. I question if we want to win.

Heupel has a plan….he just doesn’t know what it is yet.

 

[Jravol78]

Staley showing out
