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

[JMSqb11]

Heupel is such an idiot today. Not overall but today he’s been a moron.

Going for 2 for no reason. Now wanting to go for it on 4th down instead of kicking a FG to make it a two score game when he has all 3 timeouts in his pocket.

 

[OrangeTsar]

It’s literally like our offensive coordinator is mentally retarded. That throw straight to the sideline has not worked at all.

Letting Golesch go was the worst mistake we have made in the Heupel years.
Kind of like how Fulmer’s fade began after we lost Cutcliffe

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Why would you not try and make it 2 possessions here?

 

[GhostVol]

Y

Yep. I’ve seen enough.

Been saying 8-4

Closer to 7-5 than 9-3

Either way, not making a playoff

Hope I'm wrong

 

[C-south]

No but making any type of play would go a long way.

You can forget that.

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

Have to kick here

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

I hate to say it, but you kick the field goal here

 

[Go47]

The difference is that Vandy is playing inspired football. Both sides of the ball and the coaching staff too. That reason alone is why they will beat the piss out of us and more than likely make the playoffs. Top to bottom, they have a chip on their shoulders and I don’t think this team has even shown a hint of hating to lose

It’s simple.

We have more talent overall.

Vandy has a special QB and they are WAY more disciplined and better coached.

 

[Volnbeers]

Obviously you’re waving the white flag with that last play call so why not just kick the field goal here

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Can we give Clark Lea a call?

 

[Boca Vol]

I have the over 59.5. Kick the fg!!!

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Heupel’s seat should be blazing hot after this game.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

This take is probably in the minority and I realize we were a playoff team last year, but I feel you can tell pretty early in a coach’s tenure if they are truly “special”. I think Heup is a good coach but not elite. Reminds me of Mark Richt. Good enough to make it difficult to fire, but not good enough to win a championship.

Good enough, that’s probably an accurate description.

 

[molsen81]

Another USC turnover?

 

[TheVolunteer002]

UT still scored 38 that night. Play stealing wasn’t the issue

Really isn't that hard to figure us out either. Our entire offense is about 5 variations of an RPO play.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

I can’t not say it enough but **** the Simpsons. Bammers smoke cigars like they’re sucking a dick.

 

[volgr]

We've seen Heupel's ceiling here.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Thats it. Wasted a Timeout you 100% needed for defense.

That’s actually hilarious. Great joke. The defense could have 6 timeouts and it wouldn’t matter

 

[oz615]

Do we play Missouri?!?

We don't thank goodness,because we'll probably lose to them too.

 

[C-south]

Why would you not try and make it 2 possessions here?

It’s moral victory time.

 

[nomads-11]

Bama is 1000% the better coached and more talented team. We're pretenders still.

No, neither are a championship team. One might make the playoffs ..one.likely isn't.

 

[orangerush]

Another great clock management moment by the Hype.

He’s the master of time warps.

 

[hardyemt_p]

We are still better than where we were during the Dooley Jones Beldar years GBO!!!

 

[joevols89]

We weren’t beat Alabama when Simpson was 12 so that sounds made up.

 

[tnvols72]

Heup I have zero faith in you anymore
