'25 Recruiting Forum: Official TSIO Alabama vs Tennessee Pre-game/Game Thread

[Smokey123]

This game is over. Truthfully, with this defense, it's been over. Heupel needs to fix this. Really hope he does. But I doubt it.

It was over when Heup ok’d the worst play calls anyone has ever seen

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Please, football Gods, miracle us into a win!

 

[GoBigOrange86]

This is a game we could’ve won. Just way too undisciplined. We simply aren’t good enough to overcome that many mistakes.

 

[Smokey123]

I hate Alabama

Not sure our defense can stop OU or that nasty venereal disease from Middle Tennessee.

OU doesn’t have a good offense. But teams don’t need a good offense to have success against this awful defense. Bama has a bang average offense. Scored 28.

How they heck did Banks do it last year and then we have this year's performance?

Think Heup is a decent coach but his assistants are ass and the play calling in critical situations leaves a lot to be desired.

Unfortunately I don’t ever think he’ll be a championship coach. Can’t seem to get out of his own way at the most critical junctures.

He has a terrible staff outside of like 2-3 guys

 

[Jackcrevol]

this defense is inexcusable. sorry, it is.

I didnt expect to win but I expected not to play like total dogshit

 

[TheBigOne10]

I’ll feel better if we go into the Swamp 8-2. Hopefully Vandy and OU keep playing well so we have a “signature win” or two LMAO

Held to death

How do people not see it?

It’s a form of cowardice not to see it, or the see it but immediately repress it, apparently. And then channel the frustration at something else.

Like I said can't beat a team with a pulse on the road.

Very few teams are winning games on the road consistently. Look around college football.

Were you under the impression we were a top 5 team? Vols were picked 9th in the conference for crying out loud.

Danny has raised prices too high, for nights like this to still happen.

It’s his job to make money and bring money in. Of course he has. And he will always pull money as long as he can.

Clock doesn’t stop on first down anymore?

Biggest issue is our team doesn’t play complimentary. Offense scores, defense can’t get a stop. Defense gets a stop, offense does nothing. That needs to change going forward

 

[Volnut]

We will run UF outta the swamp. I don’t know about beating BOTH OU and Vandy though tbh

UF will find a reason to play out of their minds and beat us. Sun Belt Billy will probably get fired the week before, and they'll ball out for the interim coach.

I've not been super critical of Banks....... But tonight, it can't be excused

HUGE LATE HIT...no flag, of course

He had an elite DL from garner and numerous NFL players

 

[Big Orange Rock]

So you can just wipe a guy out who makes a catch on both knees?

With what prices are , we shouldnt be getting out classed like this.

I think maybe Will Brooks actually called the defense. I don't know

 

[Go Fight Win]

Tight ends can’t really catch when it matters

Since pope has become coach, the drops seem to be acceptable
