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

[NEO]

Tell me about his scheme

He runs a 4-3 while throwing in elements of a 3-3-5. Likes to run a 4-3 and 4-2-5.

Issues is he can’t keep containment and has gap issues and plays our corners too far off.

Here’s the deal man. It works when we get pressure but if we don’t the secondary gets picked apart.

 

[chuckb1448]

Come on D do something. Tighten it the crap up.

Secondary is sitting back, D-line is spread.... its a stinker

 

[TJSVOLS]

Their defense is slow, but they make up for it by being small

 

[teeball]

I’m gonna call it again, another TO incoming

Hope we do more this one than we did with the last one you called. I hope your ESPN works again.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

This is where we can win the game if we can get a stop and Heup uses his TOs.

Yeah, no. We're not winning if it comes down to clock management!

 

[adam.vol]

I guess our D does have some holes. Pegboard don’t have nothin’ on our defense.

We have more holes than the bulletin board that was posted on.

 

[mpfvol]

Don’t get why the defense is so bad

They have had 1 good year that was last year

 

[Cartervol]

I'd just keep a spy on green and blitz the hell.out of him. The 4 down zone shat isn't working. Move another guy to the line if anything.

 

[hUTch2002]

Seems like we’re always missing the last piece of the puzzle. If we had Joey last year we would’ve been 11-1 at worst after the regular season schedule and maybe 12-0

Probably because it’s hard to put together a full team to go 11-1 or 12-0, especially one that has had Bama and UGA every year, who both have the advantage of years of better recruiting. As long as we’re trending the right direction overall, and we are, I’m good. To be clear, that doesn’t mean there won’t be setbacks or bumps in the road. It’s a process, not a light switch.

 

[patrick]

Need a pick

 

[MurphyVol]

Can Joey come back next year, please

Can he play linebacker?

 

[UT97Vol]

We must have the record for injuries on a PAT. It is every time.

Yeah, what’s up with that?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

To turn this game, we have to get off the field here on defense and try to score before half

 

[zeppelin128]

Gotta be close to the WR for that.

Lol

 

[ibvolman]

Our defense is cooking up something special.

Yeah, short bus special.

 

[carolinaviking]

The rat poison was effective during the bye-week.

 

[rocketskates]

Draw play for 5 yards. This Dline is getting their rear handed to them.

This defense is bad at all levels.

And after the play two of their offensive lineman keep going and pancake their assigned defenders. Their offense is playing nasty and with something to prove. Our defense is playing like they are hoping for the offense to bail them out.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Is this a Sal Sunseri defense?

 

[Caz]

Can the defense do anything?

They do run around and fall down pretty good.

 

[landscapingvol]

Don’t get why the defense is so bad

Wait, are you serious?! Have you watched a game all season?

 

[DaddyChad]

Can the defense do anything?

Only thing we do well is generate turnovers from time to time. I mean it’s great but these chunk plays we give up is very frustrating

 

[Hank Bukowski]

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Tennessee defense get owned like this.

 

[CoachClick]

I pray we have a killer game on d against bama so someone will hire the coaching box tenant the hell outta knoxville.

It's the only way we will get rid of him during heup's tenure.

 

[joevol33]

Nice!

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

We completely blew our chance to take control when we dodnt score after the turnover
