Yep it will be a first down

Coach just called time out to tell banks he better get the first defense call to stop them on third down

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Is Hood hurt?

Nevermind. Saw him out there

Pretty sure I saw him out there last snap?

 

[Cannot believe]

3rd and 7(erBanks)…. Will it be given up?

 

[OrangeSquid]

Did Heupel just call a time out as the clock run down for Ky?

 

[posivol]

come on d get that ball back

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

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

I agree 100%. It will be Josh’s downfall if he doesn’t make changes and fix the D. Gotta stop being buddy buddy and cut a couple guys loose.

 

[I40VOL]

Timeout to get into a soft 10 yard off the ball zone

 

[Orange931]

Our D is dang bipolar!

Opportunistic is what they are, but not quite enough opportunity.

 

[therealitytheory]

Halze is a terrible play caller, simply terrible.

LOL
..child

 

[rocketskates]

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

Other than NMSU we aren’t blowing out anyone remaining on the schedule so take your heart meds and keep your fingernails trimmed.

 

[bpalmer28]

3rd and Banks strikes again

that was literally their first 3rd down conversion of the game. defense does suck tho

 

[TheDirector]

Our timeout saved them from a false start

 

[mackievol]

Banks is getting schooled by the offensive coordinator at Kentucky

 

[Freak]

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

I don't know. I think we run from time to time on second and long and even third and long if we plan on going for it on fourth... and depending on how the defense lines up. When it works nobody really thinks much about it.

 

[VOLinAL]

Their little shifty running back also makes me nervous. Their skill players definitely have speed.

 

[vols 30]

guys… our defense sucks

UK hasn't scored more than 14 points in their last 3 games.

Our defense is the cure for a struggling offense

 

[Butch s]

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

They must not

 

[GhostVol]

Our defense is either turnover or bust. And we bust a lot.

When you have to depend on TO's for stops your D isn't very good

That's where TN is

 

[Prayivm3rcy]

Did Heupel just call a time out as the clock run down for Ky?

Naw he was clapping

 

[rocketskates]

Did Heupel just call a time out as the clock run down for Ky?

And their right tackle committed a false start. Which I realize Josh didn’t know was gonna happen, but it’s just our luck.

 

[Sarms58]

We need another turnover

 

[farmdogvol]

I guess it was to much to ask for the defense to hold them and flip the field.

 

[TN1111]

They'll show blitz here and back out afraid of the QB run.

 

[Cartervol]

UK hasn't scored more than 14 points in their last 3 games.

Our defense is the cure for a struggling offense

Yes. They're just not fundamentally sound or mean enough..

 

[midtnvol2]

How can our defense possibly be this bad?

Because they can't get off of blocks and their tackling is horrid at best.
