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

[OrangeFrog]

Defense has to man up and use their arms the rest of the game.

 

[BradstarVols]

The sad part is Bama is not even that good

Exactly.

 

[bboarding3]

Offense has given up 9. Defense hasn’t been great, but not terrible.

This is a a good point.

 

[LLcoolDave]

if we played a clean game, even with this horrific defense, we win this game

 

[OrangeArchitect]

Moving forward, our offense should absolutely favor the run. Why we haven’t been 60/40 all year is beyond me. Our best offenses under Heupel have focused on the run and used timely play action and strategic long shots for maximum effect. Gotta get back to that formula. I don’t know what to do about the defense.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

PSA. If we lose tonight don’t take your anger out on your loved ones. Take your butt to bed.

Can I punch my neighbor down the road that’s always the last guy to mow his yard?

 

[KeyVol14]

Difference in this game is a terrible pick 6. I still didn’t understand that play call. Everyone knew you had to pass the ball and you go heavy set play action…makes zero sense

 

[jasonvol18]

Check the schedule. Plenty more coming.

Agreed..We haven't won in Fla in 22 years and not sure that changes. We can't beat them there no matter how dysfunctional they are.

 

[Go47]

This is a a good point.

Agree.

 

[posivol]

The sad part is Bama is not even that good

good not great

 

[NEO]

CJH handling of the end of first half will probably cost us this game.

We kick FG then we are tied right now.

Just sad.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Texas must really be bad

It seems so. In OT with Kensucky

 

[PalmettoStateVol]

One play is gonna ruin our season isn’t?

Bama's had two 99 yard drives tonight for TD's. There's a whole bunch of plays tonight that ruined our season.

 

[lilesrt]

Tennessee kids play harder, it means more to them. Bishop is the one I'm talking about

Ty Simpson plays hard. For the wrong team.

 

[m_scott]

Can I punch my neighbor down the road that’s always the last guy to mow his yard?

That should have been done already

 

[Vol4lif3]

Let’s say we do get a stop and score we still have to get a field goal and our kicker is not clutch

 

[JMSqb11]

Heup has looked beside himself all game- not as loose as in the past. Maybe it’s just my perception but his body language was different. Fulmer teams admitted they played tight v. Florida.

What is killing me is that DeBoer is making it look like such a wide gap between him and Heupel and I don’t understand it. Sure he has the better postseason resume but he’s not that impressive.

 

[butler5]

A turnover would be nice.... we cant let them chew clock

 

[orangerush]

Without that pick 6 we're tied. And these fools think we're losing 4. So dumb

We’re currently losing by 10 points, everything else is mute.

 

[GhostVol]

2 99 yd drive anf int for a td is the difference.

Throwing a 99 yd pick 6 with 9 seconds left while you're about to score?

Yep

 

[TNVOLnTX]

30 years? Like when we won sec titles and a natty? Go to bed. You’ve drank to much.

You proved my point. We haven't had better success since then. But it was nice of you to try and avoid the point and deflect by insulting me.

 

[jmcarr33]

Josh heupels coaching career summed up

So much doom and gloom. Does anyone post anything positive? Not sure how or why some of you are fans. Glad this team keeps fighting and hasn’t laid down given the circumstances. Says something about the kind of coach we have.

 

[BP4Prez]

FG and not pick 6 this is a tie game

Even with that, take away the snap and it’s right there. We’ve played with them outside of just ridiculous plays

 

[Lekvolrrah]

The defense has to get off the field

 

[posivol]

come on d need that ball back
