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

[Big Orange Captain]

We will be lucky to go 9-3

 

[The_topis_Rocky89]

The Smart play is a fade to Brazzell that’s just common sense- arguably the best WR in the country. Hazle is an idoit

 

[johnsonbrewer]

And replace him with who? James Franklin?

Don't even joke about that...

 

[JMSqb11]

ABSOLUTELY. But these idiots saying that's on coach. So stupid

It’s not stupid to say that passing out of a jumbo package when the defense knows it’s a pass play coming is not a smart decision.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

I’ve never turned off a TN game. I just might when they score after the half.

 

[Vol_guy]

This game is over.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Aren’t you the guy that quit after losing one game

He’s the guy that got an associates online from LSU in university studies then acted like he’s been deepthroating corndogs his whole life.

 

[VolSoldier4lyfe]

The pass was short of the goal line just ridiculous call

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Yeah, it is.

It’s not quite that bad

 

[C-south]

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.

No, you can throw it but do with your best players. Don’t come out with some stupid jumbo package bs like you’re tricking somebody. EVERYONE knew the ball would be in the air on that play. Heup has lost more big games based simply on stupidity and clock management than he’s ever won.

 

[Carl Pickens]

JH is what he is. Hes just a decent coach. Nothing more, nothing less. His teams are the most undisciplined, unprepared teams, especially on the road. He's never gotten better at what he sucks at and is not willing to make staff changes. Those are the marks of good leaders. His teams rarely inprove as the season goes along either.

We will always be an 8-9 win team with him and flirt with playoffs every 3 or 4 years, but never compete for anyhting of significance. Just is what it is.

Take a deep breath …. And then calm your tits

 

[LLcoolDave]

Why not go five wide on that ? Then your qb has room

either that or roll Joey out for a run/pass option.

once I saw that formation, I got worried

 

[Boston Vol]

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

Not with 9 seconds left. You absolutely run another play before attempting a field goal.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

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.

Exactly...put him in the gun to get more room and time to see the field,

 

[CobbWebb71]

It's time for Hazle to go. Everybody in that stadium knew what was about to happen. Could we be any more predictable?

I was screaming to kick the FG and make it a 1 score game at the half.
Sometimes you have to win the little battles to win the war.

 

[OptimisticFan]

The run wasn’t coming once we used our final timeout.

Should have done it anyway. Bishop was carrying the drive, and our line was doing very well.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Never seen a bunch of ignorant people who don't know football. Ball was clearly under thrown. Good play call, terrible execution.

 

[ColtMathis98]

Just gotta go 10-2 and we'll make the Playoff!
*Sees trip to Gainesville*

Game isn't over tonight but sheesh.....First Tony and now this

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Should have used a time out earlier and saved about 10 seconds. It put us in a pass only play to still have a shot at a fg. That’s on the coach, the throw was on Joey.

 

[C-south]

Dude didn’t even flinch at the snap, he knew a pass was coming

EVERYBODY DID.

 

[Volbrando]

We never look like the same team on the road. That’s on the coaches

 

[PalmettoStateVol]

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

No....you tell your offensive line to man the **** up and give the ball to Bishop on the one yard line.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

It’s not stupid to say that passing out of a jumbo package when the defense knows it’s a pass play coming is not a smart decision.

How about the under throw? We gonna ignore that?

 

[onthehill71]

Joey, the only thing you couldn't do...you did.
No excuse at all for that, none.

 

[etsuvol13]

We will be lucky to go 9-3

7-5
