Talent
Talent
Talent

Which is all on the coaches since they're responsible for bringing in talent.

 

[SoilVol]

Lmao...choked against UGA last year and this year...choked in this game. Like I said stop making excuses for this crap.

Y'all, just read through this trolls post history and you'll see why you should put him on ignore.

Never a positive thing said.... ever... and absent when any Vols team is doing good.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Not one single deep ball all game

Bama took away our best play. Literally UGA and MSST games were throw it up to Brazzell and pray.

This offense is mid without that.

 

[UTK]

CJH did not lose this game
The back 7 on defense sucks
The dropped passes sucked
The pick 6 was a 14 point swing

Bama has 4 times the talent we have

You’re absolutely delusional if you think bama has 4 times the talent as us. That talent gap is a thing of the past. It’s X’s and O’s these days. It ain’t 2017 anymore.

Heup takes full responsibility for the 14 point swing

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Glad we are calling timeout down 3 scores with 2 mins left…. Lol

 

[Jackcrevol]

This reminds me of Tennessee vs bama anytime from 2007-2021.

Feel like we're the not ready for prime time players. All i hear is that talent is finally rhere. Dog ****, and I mean absolute dog **** defense. Its embarrassing.

I think we lose to Oklahoma and Vandy.

 

[I4Jay]

why call timeout at 2:06 on 4th down.

The kick will take 6 seconds and the two minute warning will be a waste.

The clock stops on change of possession HEUPEL IS LOST when it comes to clock management

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

No. We screwed ourselves.

you serious clark?

If you think the refs didn't give the gumps a huge leg up with a ton of terrible calls or lack thereof, you're crazier than a bag of cats

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Heup has lost his balls over the past 2 years. Idk y he has gone conservative.

 

[TheBigOne10]

How do you fix your issues when youre playing Ty Redmond, Telander, Turrentine, Bolton, William Wright? McMurray has been ass too lately

The fact Ben Bolton, Telander or Turrentine ever play a meaningful snap is the biggest indication of our talent dilemma top to bottom. Heup better address it in the portal. His loyalty will be his downfall.

There has to be a change in secondary coaching has to be.

Makes no sense

Not going for that first 4th and 1 but going for others

Burning the TO before (not) kicking the FG, but then acting like we want the ball back

Disaster coaching

This is like the end of the UF game in 2023

 

[Midas]

Mistakes be damned... This coaching has been miserable this game. Bad clock management (like usual for Heupel) and the same backpedalling coverage after playing 10 yards off the ball. I have no idea why we see it and they cant.

Lastly, Ty Redmond has to be sat. Im not hating. He is a freshman that got thrown into a starting role when he wasnt ready. But he is a lazy tackler and a liability in man to man.

I’m hoping McCoy will be back next week and the pass defense gets drastically better.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Identify the best secondary players in the portal and pay them. Linebacker and DT too. Need competition bc some of these young players look like ****

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

idk why any of y'all choose to listen to the TV when Mike Keith is available

 

[BigSteve09]

I would sell my soul to win at this juncture

 

[csprig9]

Yep
Our safeties, LBs, DLine, CBs and Oline are just as talented as bama lol
Your the delusional one

 

[Jackcrevol]

Brahme will be a weapon.

 

[GVol1966]

We simply have to be LEAGUES better than Alabama and Georgia to beat them on the road.

I don't think DeBoar will sustain the level of talent he inherited after 3-4 years.

Nobody will ever do that.
NIL changed the game.
It’s why Nick quit.
Doesn’t mean Bama won’t still be at the top of the talent level

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Doesn’t matter. Everyone knows we arent getting the benefit when it comes to officiating. You compound that with banks playcalling, the pick 6 and heup’s poo clock management. Its a wrap.

 

[UTK]

Watch us score here and recover an onside kick and I will lose my mind we didn’t kick that FG

14 point swing. We run we score there and the game is a lot closer and the outcome could have been different. If we didn’t bat the ball and scooped and scored who knows what could have happened.

 

[Smokey123]

I’m hoping McCoy will be back next week and the pass defense gets drastically better.

He’s not returning this year

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Refs screwed us and we finished ourselves off with all the mistakes and playcalls

tbh the calls weren’t as bad as I was expecting

Joey is a warrior, so is Bishop. Not as high on Joey as some of y’all are. Think he is mid at best and sloppy with the ball and has sketchy decision making. He got lucky early on but leveling out.

Our Defense is just utter trash. Banks can’t leave fast enough. Did I already say that tonight? Not wanting to tackle anyone is just an utter shame. This is football. It’s what you do.
