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

[NO SIR EEE]

I would’ve ran it. If he doesn’t score, oh well, we tried. But a pass is too risky there. Seahawk Super Bowl flashbacks right there.

 

[Volfan76]

Heup allowed it

All I know is that we weren't doing stupid crap like this when Golesh was here

 

[volfan411]

The throw was to the inside of Kits. He throws it to the outside, we are probably down 2 at half.

most won’t see it this way but this is all on Joey. If he throws that ball outside it is a TD for us.

 

[Lekvolrrah]

All of this is on Heup, he cant get a team ready on the road and cant play on the road. He has problems

he is who he is.

 

[vol94]

Those who died 9-3 or 8-4 a few weeks got ridiculed.

I never commented but agree 9-3 is the ceiling. Poor D and the blue print is out how to slow down this offense. Plus, too many undisciplined plays.

 

[nomads-11]

Gonna be hard to survive that safety and pick 6. Mostly because we could've avoided them. Bama didn't do much....except capitalize. Can't just keep handing teams like Bama the breaks.

 

[MurphyVol]

Why do we love to spread the defense out until we get inside the 5 and then we love to pack it in like sardines???? It’s so stupid. Spread em out. ****

Why didn't we run
Why have we slowed the O down
Why have we abandoned the long ball
Why do we promote from within every time we have a job opening

 

[Pennheel]

Even when you had a feeling that this game would go in this direction, it's still just as hard to watch either way.


The thing is,it is likely to get worse.

 

[sonofUT62]

Has the Georgia 2003 feels to it.

How dare you bring that up sir?

 

[YankeeVol]

Why? Did Josh throw that awful pass? Wtf?

He took the QB in the portal. He called the play.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

It was a sh*t play call. Bama expected that pass. Where Tim banks would have given up a score there.

Joey threw to the inside. He should've thrown to the outside. I didnt mind the call but he should've thrown it outside.

 

[RAVOL]

Ugh such a bad decision you have to see defenders didn't bite. But I would have preferred a different play. Oh Well. In CHRIST Alone

 

[tampavolsfan]

I stick to what I have been saying for the past three years, Hype is a muppet when it comes to under two minutes in a half - an absolute muppet.

 

[Dergibvol]

Pathetic all the way around. Joey hasnt helped today. Horrible safety to take and then that last pass was brutal. Reminds me of nico

 

[ChrisOnRockyTop]

Heup is showing he is out of his league. We get in position to win...play calling dicks us over in the end.

Preach.

 

[GhostVol]

You take the f***ing FG and go into the locker room down 1 possession

Nope... there's no reason to NOT get the TD there

If your team can't gain ONE. F*****G. YARD.

You get what just happened

 

[OH-Vol]

Just a Horrendous play call, no one was buying the play fake. Good night y’all…

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Heupel is sh!tting the bed in epic proportions.

He usually does on the road remember the 2023 Florida game

 

[CAVPUT]

No playoffs, likely 8-4

This team is not going to beat OU, UF or Vandy. 7-5. Then again, UK next week is now looking very much like the perfect Heupel stinker. Is 6-6 in play?

 

[zeppelin128]

Bad throw from Joey, bad call from Hazle, bad clock management from Heup.

Just bad bad bad. Catastrophic turn in the game.

 

[joevols89]

That was certainly not the biggest flaw on this drive.

We never get in a ****** situation where we can’t run if we save clock earlier. Then we get too cute on that final play.

 

[rocketskates]

The play fake was stupid. Better off running it out of the shotgun and telling Joey if it’s not there to just throw it away

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

The alignment and play call was on the coaches. AL knew we were going to throw the ball with no timeouts left. Get in a passing alignment and give your QB some options.

He threw it two yards behind him. You dudes are blind

 

[ConantheVolbarian]

You have 2 throws left.
That's your choice.
Whomever calls plays is a moron.
I'm on coaches side,I like coach,but he's supposed to help,not hurt.
That should have been 1:1 Matthews or CB.
Nothing else. Miss it and kick a FG

It's not even that complicated. If the coach had used a timeout sooner instead of letting 20 seconds run off we would have had more time to run it in. He's in over his head in game management

 

[PalmettoStateVol]

The route will be on after the half. The stage is too big yet again. Thank God I was around in the 90's. This team will never achieve that kind of success again.
