The Official #17 Tennessee @ Kentucky Game Thread, 7:45 PM ET, SEC Network

[Voltrapnbama]

Ky has to feel like they can win this

No they don’t but we still suck on defense

 

[SCRocket]

Surgical precision drive

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Thank goodness the defense score a TD. Looks like they may to get another one in the second half.

 

[tnvols72]

Heup stuttering when asked about the defense

 

[molsen81]

Haha, not sure he heard the question

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Defense is embarrassingly bad. F Banks

 

[LLcoolDave]

"lots of things we gotta clean up"...says Heupel, every half, every press conference but it never gets cleaned up

 

[FranklinVFL]

Is our D problem scheme or talent?

You want the shirt or long answer to that?

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Kentucky helped us with clock mgt by using their TOs

Lmao, I thought the same thing.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Heup stuttering when asked about the defense

Maybe he's finally realizing what he has to do after this year.

 

[84Volfan]

Think he's getting fed up....

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Coach you know what you got to do at the end of the season.

 

[Swiftybaby]

That followed with glazing Kentucky.

Choking on uk qb all night

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Ah
Why in the world can Tennessee not EVER find a coach that will not let up when up by 21?!? I mean really.


Dooley. Nope
Jones. Nope
Pruit. Nope
Heupal. Nope

Ridiculous. Just put it away and keep it away.

Well Kiffin left and he definitely ran it up on Georgia and South Carolina.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

CJH is pissed at the defense. Couldn’t even put together a coherent sentence for that

 

[JMSqb11]

Alontae Taylor and the safety (forgot his name) took huge steps forward in year one with Martinez. McCoy became the best corner in the country under Martinez. Hood has been great. Jakobe Thomas was really good last year. When they have talent they coach them up pretty well. But they can’t get talent without using the portal. Not good

Not ponying up for Jakobe and letting him walk was brain dead decision making

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Banks, better have an unbelievable adjustment. Like other worldly.
So f'n tired of hearing "clean stuff up" in week 8.
Garbage ass defense

 

[orangerush]

UK - 1st half
21 points
11 first downs
3-7 on 3rd down and 1-1 on 4th down
11 plays of 10 yards or more
282 yards (197 passing and 85 rushing)
18:28 ToP
2 turnovers (thankfully)
Scoring drives of 75, 75, and 96 yards

Horrible 1st half defensively for us against probably the worst team in the league. Good thing the offense came to play.

A clear sign of abysmal coaching and poor playing.

 

[TallyVols]

What did coach say?????NANANANA

 

[FlVols]

At least he looked like he knows our defense is not good. Hope they correct it in this half

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

Coach didn’t even know what to say about the defensive situation. I’ve never heard someone stutter that bad.

 

[TN1111]

Heup stuttering when asked about the defense

I think he's starting to realize something needs to change. Blaming a few injuries doesn't cut it.

 

[bpalmer28]

Not ponying up for Jakobe and letting him walk was brain dead decision making

agreed. i also don’t understand letting jordan matthews get away.

 

[Vol8188]

If Banks and Heupel were hotter, this game wouldn’t even be close!

 

[MeanOrange]

We might need 60 before this game is over.
