The Official #11 Tennessee @ #6 Alabama Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[rocketskates]

They going to allow them to hold every play and not call it

Brother that wasn’t the refs they just carved our asses up on that drive

 

[C-south]

“At the end of the day….”

 

[Lekvolrrah]

Still don't know why CJH called sending Bishop up the middle on that 3rd down call., can we not jet sweep or anything else

Thats what he does

 

[Boston Vol]

If Tennessee had gotten off the damn field, they would have had the ball around the 50 after the Bama punt, instead……

 

[Switch 625]

There were people in here before kickoff defending Banks. SMH

 

[mattutk2005]

3rd and 13 on like the 5 or whatever and give it up. Inexcusable. They may as well just blitz more because dropping into "coverage" is useless. Go for broke maybe get some TOs

 

[TN1111]

friggen banks dosnt know how to blitz on 3rd and long

Everyone on here loves Banks... watch yourself

 

[Vol Farmer]

could be a long night

My poor liver…..

 

[tnvols72]

He'll shutdown New Mexico St and the fans will love him again

Fact

 

[JFreak]

Anyone have data on our stop rate on 3 & 10+ this year? Feels like opponent converts 90+%

 

[chuckb1448]

They going to allow them to hold every play and not call it

I watched whoever he was holding Redman the pushed off n caught the ball... no call

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Fire Tim Banks but we know Heupel never will

 

[patrick]

Defense can’t even line up.

 

[Credo]

I’m getting angry again

 

[Shakinthefat]

Banks needs to be sent packing.

I assume this means “FIRE BANKS”

 

[FranklinVFL]

But we are negavols for saying the defense is shyte.

Label me. We haven’t stopped anyone this year.

 

[Swiftybaby]

1998 buddy. Old enough to be president and haven’t seen **** in my lifetime.

You’re just a kid

 

[MurphyVol]

Still don't know why CJH called sending Bishop up the middle on that 3rd down call., can we not jet sweep or anything else

And we slowed down and huddled up to call that play.... bizarre

 

[orangerush]

I think we are the only defense that lines up offsides every game. Where’s the damn coaching.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Heard Banks is a candidate for a HC job

 

[Frozevol]

Ok... lets ANSWER GOSH DANGIT

Language!

 

[m_scott]

Our defense sucks. I mean…really sucks.

Like it is on purpose

 

[vol94]

Still Banks will have people defending him

How? Guess will say we have the most takeaways and Defensive TDs.

We allow too many points. Plus, our offense has less possessions when the opponent has long drives.

 

[sonofUT62]

Still don't know why CJH called sending Bishop up the middle on that 3rd down call., can we not jet sweep or anything else

But we didn’t go fast. We really took our time to make sure we got the best execution possible.

 

[Shakinthefat]

Everything on script:

1. UT presnap penalty to kill drive - check.
2. 3rd and LONG (18 yards) conversion - check.
3. Inability to stop them outside of turnover - check.

The only thing that’s not a check is our belief that we would pressure Simpson - didn’t happen.

On point
