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

[cherokeeeVOL]

We got a win in the SEC, and we also overcame poor officiating by the way, and people want the coach fired? This place never ceases to amaze me.

 

[Capt Whiskey]

Glad to see the offense put the game away at the end. Always easier to watch the rest of the games after a W! 5-1 heading into TSIO. Need to play more disciplined and cut out the penalties.

 

[Voltopia]

You know, it's not lost on me that the AMAZING number of missed holding calls helped Arkansas add 14 points there at the end, insuring that Arkansas safely covered the spread even if Tennessee scored another TD to wrap the win up. What? I'm not saying anything. *cough*

 

[MeanOrange]

I dont think UGA is anywhere close to where they have been in recent years. Their defense is slightly above average. We'll see if they can beat AU tonight.

Agree. Our D made the GA. QB look like P.M.

 

[C-south]

Don't be stupid.

Well be realistic. At this point a mid bowl is likely unless something drastically changes.

 

[vavolfan6]

A 3pt win at home vs a 2-3 unranked ARK team following an OT win on the road vs a weak MSST team does not instill confidence going into AL week. U-G-L-Y!

Hopefully it makes Bama overlook us in some capacity.

I am in the camp that Ole Miss is overrated and it is just a matter of time before they are exposed. This ARK team put up a whopping 13 points on a 4-2 Notre Dame team. Not exactly an explosive offense ...

You mean the Notre Dame team that lost to undefeated #2 Miami by 3 and undefeated #5 Texas A&M by 1?

You mean the Notre Dame team that played for a National championship?

 

[2EastTnVols]

Prevent defense and play calling when we get a lead are maddening.

 

[OmahaOmaha]

LOL, the ineptness of this coaching staff.

Shhhhh. Criticizing the staff will get u called stupid.

 

[wmcovol]

We are one missed field goal from being 6-0

True but they’re also close to 0-3.

Vols are struggling to beat Miss St & Ark. we need to get realistic about this team.

 

[Wezcoast]

As others said, just glad to get out with a win. Arky has some damn juju magic when they play us.

 

[CAVPUT]

We just went to OT last game and then survived by 3 against 2/3 of the worst teams in the conference

Staff changes have to be made this off-season or we can just settle in to our ceiling. This staff isn’t getting another year loaded with 6th year seniors again like last season, that is over. This defensive scheme is broken and these coaches have no clue how to adjust it

These are their recruited players and it is a failure. We have to make staff changes! If Heupel doesn’t, then we know he will be gone in a couple years and it absolutely doesn’t have to end up that way

If you think Heupel will make changes,.you haven't been paying attention. Not gonna happen. Same for him benching Telander.

 

[OmahaOmaha]

Prevent defense and play calling when we get a lead are maddening.

Not to mention the replay isn't worth watching.

What National Championship has this Notre Dame team played?

We are the youngest team in the SEC. Half of our players are true freshman. We are hot garbage on D this year but getting valuable experience.

Yea, but when you blindly look at records it’s hard to understand why the game outcomes aren’t what you expected…

 

[djwes]

Glad they got the win, but I really wish CJH would not go quite so conservative.

 

[OmahaOmaha]

Why do we play Zone in the Red Zone?

Cuz that's when it tightens up and we got em where we want em.

 

[york.adamray]

What National Championship has this Notre Dame team played?

The one that Alabama beat their Azz in.

 

[KeyVol14]

True but they’re also close to 0-3.

Vols are struggling to beat Miss St & Ark. we need to get realistic about this team.

And what about a missed FG away from beating UGA?

Today we went conservative on offense and officiating was garbage. We should have won by two scores

 

[BigALWiLson]

What National Championship has this Notre Dame team played?

I mean..... has any team played for it this year ?

 

[Volben00]

We have the youngest ripostes in the SEC…

I DON’T CARE

I don’t trust this defensive staff to develop these young players anyway. They need to be gone and away from this program

We have to score 30+ to even compete with the worst teams in the conference. It is unacceptable and change is needed

 

[C-south]

Oregon lost at home
ole miss barely survived at home to a 2-3 team
Oklahoma lost to an unranked team
Fl State lost for the third straight week
bama barely held on to bead Missou
And we still have the night games to go.

I'll take our win, be happy, and look forward to next week.

Lol. That’s like you. Because everyone else s***s the bed it’s ok if we do and make the dumbest comparisons possible Oregon lost to a top 10 team. Texas isn’t terrible and neither is mizzou. We struggled with the worst team in the sec in large part due to ineptitude. I’m sure you know a lot about that.

 

[utVolFanInVA]

The one that Alabama beat their Azz in.

That was in 2013. Has no bearing on this year's Notre Dame team.
