We’re really gonna let Kentucky hang around, aren’t we?

Is there any other way??

 

[rocketskates]

Nice methodical drive here to get it within 7 before the half and then Heupel will decide to open the playbook again.

We’re really gonna let Kentucky hang around, aren’t we?

A defense this crappy will allow almost any opponent to hang around.

 

[joevol33]

Here we go, 3rd and long

 

[LLcoolDave]

another 3rd down coming up.

 

[Switch 625]

dont blitz banks what ever you do

Someone needs to tell him that blitzes aren’t like timeouts, you get more than 3 per half.

 

[posivol]

see banks good things happen when you pressure

 

[TN1111]

Is it zone time here?

 

[TheVolsFrog]

More of that

 

[wmcovol]

Is Hood hurt?

Nevermind. Saw him out there

 

[Vol1956]

Here we go, 3rd and long

Yep it will be a first down

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

I guess they don’t teach wrapping up anymore. You can’t just bump somebody and expect them to go down. This ain’t high school

 

[alavolfan]

Our D is dang bipolar!

 

[Swiftybaby]

Ideally, catch them off guard for 8-9 yards and set up a more manageable third down. I'm in the minority, but that call is the least of my concerns.

Me and you both have watched the vols long enough to know that play never works out in our favor

 

[tnvols72]

3rd and 4th down should not be called by Banks. Let the ball boy call those downs

 

[jacksonvol24]

Defense is soo bad. Banks and Martinez need to hit the portal!!!!!!

 

[87&91ALUM]

Hold em Vols. Hope that time out works.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

It's pretty sad... you even see it on Sundays now

 

[joevol33]

Yep it will be a first down

90% of the time it is

 

[NOLAPhil]

Timeout makes sense. Gotta set it up for a 15yd gain

 

[GhostVol]

The middle is open to a QB draw every play.

What happened to the draw play?

Used to be FBs, RBs, QBs

If you needed 5 it worked

 

[BreatheUT]

Everybody offense seems to set highs under this defense.

 

[bpalmer28]

guys… our defense sucks

 

[ttocswob]

Timeout - CJH gotta really think about how we give up 8 yards here...

EDIT success!

 

[mackievol]

3rd and Banks . Ugggg
