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

[wmcovol]

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*

If you think there were missed holding calls tonight, wait till next week.

The only thing Tennessee def can do is rush the passer. Mizzou showed pass rush can impact Simpson. I’d suspect Bama OL to have ropes to lasso Tenn DL.

Good tough game by Arky. Happy for the win.

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

Ran the same off tackle play Miss St gashed us with.

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

McMurray covering no one…mind boggling. Banks what to be exotic…mate, we don’t have the personnel for exotic lmaooo.

Josephs/Ross need to eat but if we don’t get pressure, it’s a toss up. Our inability to tackle in space is going to be our undoing.

Simpson isn’t a mover but he’s accurate. We have to find a way to get pressure and hold up somehow on the backend.

I don’t understand why we don’t throw kits a pass once a drive … he is money .. not to mention his blocking ability

 

[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.

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.

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

We are 5-1 heading into Tuscaloosa, baby! Rooting against GA and LSU to bump us up into the top 10! LFGBO!!

But other teams struggled against teams better than Arkansas. Somehow that’s relevant.

 

[lukeneyland]

I disagree, we had a very fortunate off-season. With JH trotting Nico out there again this season we'd have 3 losses by now

Do you understand how hard it is to teach a QB a brand new offense without having him go through spring ball?

[Vol737]

He ain’t beating Bama this year not with that defense

Its gonna be a tall order, that’s for sure.

 

[2EastTnVols]

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)

I think we can get OU, we can score on anyone when we let it rip on offense and their offense kinda sucks. I agree that bama and Florida are most likely losses.

The Ga that lost to Bama @ home & losing now to Auburn?

Clearly, every team is garbage.

Hood is as good as McCoy. Redmond ain’t bad. The issues are at star & safety. They really struggle doing anything much there.

 

[C-south]

Our pass defense is awful. We’re also give up over 200 yards on the ground per game.

 

[MurphyVol]

He's clearly an upgrade and were much better with him than we would have been with Nico.

I will argue to the end of the earth that what happened in the off-season was a net positive. I wanted to cut Nico and free up NIL salary last season.

Yeah Milroe was mostly a RB playing QB.
Ty is going to sling that ball.

 

[Sandman 423]

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

Arkansas also has the number 8 offense in the country.

The D may not be great, but it sure is opportunistic

 

[nuclearjunky]

FIRE HEUPEL!!! FIRE BANKS!!! I refuse to accept this win and the win at Miss St. I want Butch back as head coach, Dooley back as WR coach and Pruitt as defensive coordinator. Maybe together those three idiots can rub some nickels together and make more sense than folks pissed about being 5-1 in the NIL landscape that’s now college football. No coach has it figured out yet but I think Heupel is close. I know I don’t want to go through what this program has been through since 2008 again and really before Phil got fired. We are winning and I can’t comprehend why that pisses some fans off. There is no perfect coach, there is no perfect game. There is no Nick Saban out there to hire. How is Lincoln Riley doing with his 10 million a year? Sark is no better. The NCAA is now the NFL without the transparency. It’s going to get worse before it gets better.
