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

[Vol Farmer]

I’m off to 7 eleven. Who wants a slurpee?

I’m in if you’re going by the liquor store

 

[Chimichanga]

I love how bama coach knows he has 3 timeouts and uses them on a 3rd down play. Heup be looking at TO’s like pto that you cant roll over

 

[TrapVol]

Please, please, don’t give them a cushion pass the first down marker.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

yep and Florida too

Nah. This will be the last game we lose. Alabama is just better than us. And our defense is straight trash

 

[Butch s]

3rd and 9.

Got our defense exactly where they want us.

The ole 3rd and banks

 

[Shakinthefat]

1. Why don’t we have elite talent? This is year five.
2. Does Vandy and Missouri have better talent than us. Hell, we are pretty much last in the SEC in defense and ranked over 100 in the NCAA. Does 100 teams in the NCAA have better talent?

2 studs DB’s injured, 5* SANDERS limited play.

 

[BP4Prez]

Must stop here

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

We need a spark.

 

[Gandalf]

3rd and long, woe is us

 

[crawdaddyjc]

bring the freaking house on this 3rd and long. knock the hell outta the qb.

 

[sportsnut624]

If we rush 4 and play soft zone here I want banks relieved of his duties immediately. I don’t even care if we give up a touchdown because we get torched in man but I am going to have a stroke if I see an easy completion in the middle of our zone coverage again

 

[patrick]

1st down incoming for Simpson

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Gotta get a stop here

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Please, please, don’t give them a cushion pass the first down marker.

They will. Guarantee you

 

[volmoon]

Slim and none

So you’re saying we have a chance

 

[AntiochVol81]

3rd and 9. Where do you reckon they're going?

Williams Duh

 

[CMcEver]

I really like CJH, but as another poster mentioned kinda seems like Fulmer 2.0

The talent gap between us and Bama and Georgia is tremendous still, he still needs a year or 2 to build depth and talent after that shitshow with cornbread and NCAA investigations before I make that kind of judgement.

 

[Vol_guy]

Don't get your hopes up. They will convert.

 

[molsen81]

I really like CJH, but as another poster mentioned kinda seems like Fulmer 2.0

Didn’t Fulmer eventually fire his defensive coordinator? Heupel doesn’t have the cojones.

 

[VOLinAL]

You could make a living in Vegas betting on our third down defense.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Incoming Banks D blunder

Yep. 30 yard play coming up.

 

[Godfatha]

3rd and 9. Wonder what Banks dials up to allow a first down?

15 yard zone and empty middle of the field I am sure

 

[GhostVol]

That unstoppable offense racked up 42 first quarter yards….after receiving the opening kickoff.

Yeah, that's an O that's afraid of it's own D

When Heupel unleashes and goes bang, bang, bang, tempo TN is really hard to stop

 

[djwes]

I really like CJH, but as another poster mentioned kinda seems like Fulmer 2.0

He is, in my opinion too conservative and has questionable clock management at critical times in games. Tennessee doesn’t have the defense to lineup and slug it out with really good teams. I wish we would be a little more aggressive on offense.

 

[Volbrando]

3rd and Chavis coming
