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

[nomads-11]

The highest scoring team in the country and we have 13

Yes, we always have 13 when playing teams that matter. This is where you have to win...tough environment, on the road, etc. you cannot do safeties, pick 6s. As coaches do say the margin for error is narrow. They got 9 points off turnovers....TN got 0. No can do.

 

[UTFranklinVol]

congrats on being pretenders. we would get raked over the coals in the CFP

 

[Daniel_Lincolns_Foot]

our inability to wrap up and just tackle someone is making me want to drown myself in the Tennessee river. Why do we insist on throwing our shoulders at runners and try to strip the ball? Just tackle the runner. Holy ****. You stupid mother ****ers.

 

[EastTN]

If we keep playing like this Vandy is gonna come into Neyland and wipe the floor with us. Unreal.

Vandy will beat this team bet on that

 

[hardyemt_p]

I said 9-3 or 8-4. But I didn't mean it

 

[Rocky Top T]

How do y'all Banks lovers like that 99 yd touchdown drive????

 

[djohnnyg]

This is so bad it looks like something shady going on. For real.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Dude stop. You didn't have to have a coach tell you to tackle players.
You think Coach is taking them to not tackle.
Just dumb

They aren’t wrapping up.

 

[TJVol95]

This defense is hot garbage!

 

[EastTNVol6240]

And people think our defense is good.

He doesn’t

 

[C-south]

another embarassing loss by CJH. Not prepared to play yet again. He and his offense sucks

Maybe we can see some more jumbo packages.

 

[BP4Prez]

Hate to say it, but ain’t no digging out of this hole. I really thought we’d be in this game down the stretch.

The pick 6 was just a killer. About impossible to come back from that kind of swing

 

[Skooter]

If we keep playing like this Vandy is gonna come into Neyland and wipe the floor with us. Unreal.

We have 3 more losses coming. OT at MSU should’ve been the warning.

 

[JMSqb11]

D has given up 21 points and got a turnover. I think this game is more on the offense. They have 13 points.

Such a weird night. We have given up 4 sacks in 6 games and Bama has 4 tonight.

 

[BJWeeks]

Must score drive

 

[jcvol87]

Do you blame them? No one does less with more than their offense with great field position.

Another thing I wonder, why they call those screens and lateral throws to wr behind the line of scrimmage? Never have I seen it do any positive.

 

[Go47]

Never mind the safety, pick 6, bad snap, dropped passes, etc.

Agree. Offense is bad too.

Really bad.

 

[hUTch2002]

Admittedly a low bar.

Agreed there. He’s the one that said this D is close to that one. Not true at all.

 

[BradentonVol]

We better get the bank ready for defensive players in the off season

Let’s get a defensive coach first

 

[CPVOL]

I’m over Josh. If we want 8-4, or 9-3 seasons then he’s your guy. But that’s all he’s going to be. Last year we barely made the playoffs and got beat down. If he was coaching Bama, they’d be losing right now. If he coaches UGA, they lose today.
Again, if you’re happy with these type games, he’s your guy. He’s full of them.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

No. Need to finish 10-2 and keep the wheels on the bus.

Vols have a real chance of losing to Sooners, Florida and Vandy

 

[posivol]

Dude wipes. Great commercial.

to go w/ your mando

 

[VolCalls]

Heup was the right coach at the right time. Nothing more, nothing less.

Time to take the next step.

 

[TJVol95]

This is so bad it looks like something shady going on. For real.

Looks like Ohio state all over

 

[BigALWiLson]

How do you have someone dead to rights on a 15 yard loss and give up a 25 yard run to get the first down.

Effort and discipline. I think effort has been there all night. Until the last series.
