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

[johnboyhunter]

One play went the other way it’s a 3 point game.

 

[tnvols72]

Heupel is a softie. He’ll probably give Banks a raise

would not surprise me. I have lost respect for Heup

 

[zeppelin128]

We are just giving them the game.

The good news is even with two losses, if we continue to win out, there is still a chance we get to the college football playoff. Seasons not over.

I think we'd need some help.

 

[CAVPUT]

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

One corner ain't gonna fix this defense.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

When the offense and defense both give up multiple scores, it is very difficult to win.

 

[RAVOL]

Big time hold on that TD run.

Yes it was but wow just not enough dudes at LB and DB's injuries really hurt our depth at CB and safety play which is your D Cord position just awful awful. In CHRIST Alone

 

[volpreacher]

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

Vandy gave up well over 400 yards to Alabama. Alabama threw a pick in the endzone and still won by 16. Let that sink in

 

[Graff]

I wish McElroy would fall outta the press box.

 

[JMSqb11]

UK 50/50
OU L
NM W
UF 50/50
Vandy 50/50

We could be 6-6 when all is said and done.

OU and Vandy aren’t breaking a 4 year streak in Neyland, clown

 

[BigOrangeD]

Our D needs to learn how to:
Tackle
Look back for the ball on Pass D
Cover the middle of the field for slants
play better contain
etc.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Hope someone has the balls to ask Heupel what does the defense do at practice?

run in circles around a tackle bag

 

[VOLinAL]

Heupel's most embarrassing lose?

Not even close.

 

[HighRockvol]

Heup is a horrible road coach

 

[WhenUrVolUrVFL]

get McCoy out there in a wheel chair better than these absolute morons playing secondary. That pass interference on 3rd and 10 is unacceptable.

 

[Putbacks]

What’s the thinking of signing all these kickers and converting them to DB’s and LB’s?

 

[OrangeTsar]

I’ll be honest, I don’t want Heupel fired or ran off, but I most definitely wouldn’t be upset if he left either.

He is good on the X’s and O’s of offense. But he doesn’t seem to have a feel for managing the flow of a game and momentum.

 

[Memphisvol87]

The defense isn’t good, and there is nothing outside Gardner that should have a job after this year. We may drop 2-3 more games

 

[MurphyVol]

We need better coaching on defense. We have the talent but they need to be coached better.

I can't say I'm overjoyed with our 20 points on offense. With the long ball no longer on the play script, Aguilar looks fairly pedestrian.

 

[Rockytop_]

if you are still watching I’d suggest muting the TV. It sounds like McElroy is about to relieve himself every time a bama player breathes.

 

[butler5]

But we will score 70 on New Mexico ....

 

[Other_Guy]

We are just giving them the game.

The good news is even with two losses, if we continue to win out, there is still a chance we get to the college football playoff. Seasons not over.

Season is over dude.

 

[orangerush]

We’re almost their folks, we only need 3 or 4 more years of recruiting to solve our issues.

 

[jasonvol18]

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

We aren't running the table with this defense. We have our every 2 year ass beating in the swamp coming up, possible losses to OU and Vandy too.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Heupel sucks. Thank god it's almost basketball time

 

[LVol]

Yes, he took him to the ground.

Why doesn't JH raise hell with the refs
