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

[C-south]

Yeah well, UT is one play from 6-0.

And 3-3.

Telander between the tackles is a DAWG but outside he is too slow. But tell me this, which LB, ever, is going to catch Taylen Green? Even Al or Raynoch wouldn't have caught him on that play. Banks refusal to play a spy on a QB like Green is baffling. Since Boo hasn't covered a WR all year, should've had him in Telanders spot, and the other NB in Boos spot, on 3rd and long and use him as the spy.

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.

I made the same point to his post. Arkansas may be the worst team in the SEC and we were at home.

 

[Sarms58]

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

Part of the facts don’t matter crowd…got it…

 

[OmahaOmaha]

Its like do they not even think about this when they are reviewing film every week ?

That's got to be a difficult film to grade. I'll be damned if I will watch it again.

 

[BJWeeks]

Well it was ugly but we finally beat Arkansas. A team we have struggled with. Lot of concerns based on how we played against them and Miss st

 

[vol94]

Well, I think he learned that up 10 with 8 min to play you can go conservative because they won't get 2 possessions

Only b-c we got two 1st downs. Joey w/ the long 1st down run and then Lewis converted the 3rd and one. There would’ve been more time had Petrino called TO prior to 2min warning.

 

[hUTch2002]

Now you know why UCF fans weren't torn up when he left.

Right. Who likes winning? Not me.

 

[Vol_guy]

What National Championship has this Notre Dame team played?

The point is that team did not have alot of turnover and are a playoff caliber team.

 

[wmcovol]

Are you speaking of ARK? If so, appears ARK AD does not agree otherwise why fire the coach?

You really need the answer to that?

 

[OmahaOmaha]

And 3-3.

No, thats 3 plays away.

 

[Cartervol]

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

It's ridiculous.. Scared to make a mistake, so they'd rather bleed.out slowly.

You are so clueless it's shocking.
They lost to ole miss by 5 at ole miss.
They lost to Memphis by 1 at Memphis.

Auburn is about to go up on ga 14-0.

I'm confident you've never played a down of football in your life and certainly never coached a team.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Whenever it's 3rd down with this defense .... it's time to hide your eyes.

 

[KingstonVolunteer79$]

Not when they’re on the ground

Wasn't on the ground! Go to bed Arky fan!

 

[Rickyvol77]

The AD should be ashamed for charging 400 bucks for nosebleed seats to watch this product on the field. I might could understand if we had of won a SEC title or natty in the last decade not damn near 30 years now since either. Shame on you Danny White

Lol

 

[OmahaOmaha]

Had them 34-17. So from that point Ark won.

 

[GhostVol]

With this defense, this is possibly our final win. Embrace it.

Ehhh....

That's a little much

AL, FL, & OK are def most likely Ls

But TN should be able to handle the rest

(the word "should" is doing some work here)

 

[luthervol]

Bad take on Alabama/Mizzou. Missouri is a damn good football team. Unless you are trying to say Alabama is elite and top 15 teams should rollover.

Possibly a bad take on OU/Texas. Oklahoma started a hurt QB.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Penn State though.

How good is ole miss? (currently ranked #4)
Arkansas had them beat at their place.

 

[BJWeeks]

What can the defense do. Miss st exposed our run defense. Arkansas had the same gameplay. Bama will be no different. I know if we play zone then Simpson will destroy us.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

With an attitude like that……dude let’s just go play and see what happens. We have beat them the last 2 out of 3 games. It’s a W for today. Did we win by 30….no but I will take it and move on and hope we get another next week by 1 or 3 or 30. As long as we get Wins….I’m sleeping good tonight.

Bama is miles better than they were last year when we beat them. They have a QB now. Our defense is not gonna be up for the task. It just isnt.

Lol. I’m confident you’ve lost at everything your entire life. The sad thing is you think you’re making good points.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Some point, something has to change. Beating up on the cupcakes doesn't matter, squeaking by on the teams we should beath by 14 not going to cut it against the top tier teams.
We'll be competitive but I don't see a championship team out there. I do think our Offense can hang with anyone but replying on the defense is going to be a crapshoot

The injuries to Gibson and McCoy decimated our defense but we’re winning anyway.

 

[Volben00]

Part of the facts don’t matter crowd…got it…

We’re the youngest because half our roster is freshmen. Other than Redmond, where are you seeing those freshmen on defense?

These are guys that have been in the system multiple years and they suck in this scheme. We are absolutely awful on defense and there is absolutely no excuse for it with the amount of talent we have

The defensive staff has to be upgraded, it simply has to be if we want back in the playoffs
