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

[orangerush]

This is a beatable Bama team, we’re just not capable of doing it.

 

[CMcEver]

There really was no point in a play action, they knew what we were doing. But also Joey under threw that or it was prob a TD.

 

[GhostVol]

No more TO's.

Runner doesn't get in, no way to line up for another snap.

So, you're happy that TN DIDN'T score and....

gave up a pick 6

Well, damn, then......

 

[C-south]

At that point just run it is your surprise lol

Who said run it? Everyone knew it was a pass on 2nd down with 9 seconds. You might go all in on the next play but everyone knew that would be a pass and you may as well have your best receivers in the game. Have one read and if it’s not there throw it out of the end zone. The play action jumbo bs was never going to work.

 

[bpalmer28]

Horrible, we’ll have 2 more losses this year.

most predicted 8-4. this was always a rebuilding season despite the raging optimism after losing to UGA

 

[Rocky Top T]

he was late on the throw

Yes, but should have never run that stupid play

 

[OrangeTsar]

If Joey put it where he should it would be very close to a TD.

But it is too much of a risk. You want a play that doesn’t have to be flawless

 

[UTBuff37]

Kentucky winning….I can see us not winning another game.

We’ll win a couple more but the rest of the season is going to be long. I knew when we played Syracuse our defense wasn’t like last years but was just a concern at the time. It’s proven to be true. The rest of the season is a gauntlet no lie

 

[orangepenez]

I’m absolutely disgusted with all the penalties every game, every season under Heupel. So undisciplined. However, I’m impressed with this team’s ability to keep playing when the breaks don’t go their way. I expect us to bounce back. Go Vols!!!!

 

[BradentonVol]

Florida beat Miss State. Vandy looked really good today. Kentucky winning.

Kentucky isn’t winning, yet.

 

[Skooter]

Oh man. That was bad.

Yeah you can. Coming out in that dumb formation after a timeout and a 2 TE route. Horrible

 

[The Original Fade]

Florida beat Miss State. Vandy looked really good today. Kentucky winning.

‘At this point both Vandy and Florida are 50/50 games. We could easily go 7-5

 

[Big Orange in Bama]

We’re down 16 on the road. I just don’t see a path to victory, smh…

 

[Other_Guy]

never. Sorry you don’t agree with my assessment. i have been right more than i’ve wrong. I predicted 8-4 or 9-3 at best on here in August and got blasted for it

For a brief week I thought 10-2 after the Georgia game. Then state happened and I went back to 9-3 and haven't changed my mind since.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

There really was no point in a play action, they knew what we were doing. But also Joey under threw that or it was prob a TD.

Terrible call. Terrible pass. We’re cooked.

 

[etsuvol13]

We'll see the balls our team has on the first drive. Give up a score and they've given up. We'll see.

Their balls are in CJHs neck flap

 

[VOLifornia]

Well I got home about an hour ago and watched everything to catch up to live. And that last play took the wind out of the sails and this team may not have the intestinal fortitude to recover. Sad.

 

[djwes]

Tenn is a 3-9 or 4-8 club this year without Joey.

Not a good throw on a predictable call there.

SEC refs have been garbage this year.

Tennessee needed to play aggressive on and minimize the penalties on offense and fairly stout on defense to have a chance to win this game in Tuscaloosa.

CJH will have Tennessee decent, but he’s not a championship winning coach

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Joey has costed us 9 points

 

[Vol Farmer]

Maybe TN can hire James Franklin

We could do worse

 

[patrick]

Total sh&$ show.

What a freaking train wreck.

 

[Boca Vol]

At least he didn’t kick it ob

 

[JMSqb11]

He threw it two yards behind him. Not sure why nobody can call out a player when it's on the player. It's weird

We ran out a formation where our fastest player is the running back against Bama who had 3 defenders that play in the secondary. That’s part of the reason it was a touchdown for them. We literally allowed a scenario where we had to race a Concrete truck vs a Ferrari

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

How big was that Georgia game we blew?

 

[FranklinVFL]

Florida beat Miss State. Vandy looked really good today. Kentucky winning.

UK was not winning their game At any point so far tonight.
