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

Heupel, cough, cough. We need to be better as a team, coaching staff. It all cough cough begins with me. This needs to cough sting cough. We won't be by fiddy. Cough

 

[PerryCountyVol]

Heupel's most embarrassing lose?

 

[Dergibvol]

We have to get our corners back. Period end of story.

But my guess is we have one back for Oklahoma.

Can’t really afford another loss

McCoy and Gibson aren't coming back. Not after today.

 

[volfan102455]

Vandy ..will demolish this team. Let that sink in

Now they want - it was a 14 point swing at the end of the half - that goes the other way - we are down by 3 and would have lead at one point in the third quarter.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Does anyone know if Ty Simpson's family made it to the game?

 

[Go47]

Again - why didn’t we onside kick it? They had proven they could go 91 and 99 yards. Your defense is gassed.

And you have watched this trash defense all year.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

PeeWee ******** football. UT beats up Community Colleges, struggles with sub-par sec fodder, and fails to execute against any quality team this year. WTF is going on in Year 5?

What is going on is this staff has peaked. Changes need to be made. I’m not calling for the coach yet, but position coaches particularly D need an ass reaming.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Probably should surcharge fee on home tickets to pay for a competent defense.

Danny White is high if he thinks people will keep busting the bank wide open to watch this crap

 

[vavolfan6]

Vandy ..will demolish this team. Let that sink in

Nope. Heupek has digwalked Vandy's defense every year

 

[OrangeEtBlanc]

All I know is that Greg McElroy shouldn’t be allowed to call Alabama games. Obnoxious & biased as hell.

 

[Volstylexx]

Close loss wasn’t really going to hurt us with the playoffs but the spread in this one is effectively going to end any chance of the CFP

 

[mpfvol]

35 free yards that drive. We had better start filling out our back 7 with talent. These big games would play out different with an all American at corner and a solid corner opposite of him. Oh what it could have looked like.

The DC is trash

 

[Orangefrenzy71]

Guess tackling is not something that is practiced. Diving with shoulder drives me nuts

 

[brubaker]

I was hoping we could keep it a close game and maybe still could have made the playoffs if we ran the table, but ......

 

[NEO]

It’s year 5 and common under Heupel. I think it’s just what we have to accept.

I believe that is why is previous school was ok with him leaving. He just doesn’t run a clean program. His mistakes carry over to the players and show on all the false starts and bad snaps at the worst time possible. He does not handle pressure well at all.

 

[jasonvol18]

Such a bad tackling, undisciplined Defense. By far the worst display of tackling I've seen in a while.

 

[OC VOL FAN]

Can't let that slow prick Simpson pick up a first on fourth down. Maddening.

The fact you called Ty Simpson "slow" is funny.

 

[BradstarVols]

Heupel's most embarrassing lose?

Hard to beat the SC loss

 

[sonofUT62]

Wonder what Danny White is thinking.

He may have bigger fish at this very moment. But I hope he finds this unacceptable.

 

[Other_Guy]

We have peaked with Coach H, l’m afraid.

He needed Pruitt players or transfers to be successful. Its not sustainable.

 

[monk91384]

I’m sick of terrible db play !

 

[MiddleVol76]

Do Banks and Martinez ever speak to the media? Need to put their butts in front of the media to answer for this crap.

 

[volfannga]

Yes, he took him to the ground.

Yes, and they call the DPI in the end zone on that last drive of the half and that changes things. Not playing good enough to win tho

 

[rocketskates]

Vandy ..will demolish this team. Let that sink in

No they won't. We made a bunch of huge mistakes in this game on the road against a very good team. We could easily lose to Vandy if we play bad, but they aren't demolishing us.

 

[posivol]

we have regressed every game since ga.
