'25 Recruiting Forum: Official Tennessee versus Kentucky Pre-game/Game Thread

Who gets the ball in 2?

The kittens

 

[Enki_Amenra]

We need to just go for 70 a game and let the Defense do what they can

Which is why I can't understand why we take our foot off the gas sometimes.

Josh might leave Tim in Lexington…he was pissed

Finally

 

[UTK]

Kentucky can’t cover our guys. Just shred them. Don’t over think it.

 

[engineerVOL]

Heupel is so mad at the defense.

 

[Ten_Titans]

That was actually one of Heupel's better jobs of clock management. He lost a few seconds, but way better than usual.

This whole clock management problem is a this year thing. What he did there he has done many times since he's been here.

Maybe it's a product of thinking if the defense goes back out there with more than 10 seconds it will be points.

 

[PYSCHO]

Can we trade DCs with KY at the half?

easy how about promote someone both defenses are ass for sure

 

[Enki_Amenra]

That feels better. Still feel like **** because of the defense though. Feels like we invested in two really good CB’s that are both out, and we also invested in Boo and he has not progressed and likely been a bad investment. Having so many freshmen playing on defense right now is killing us. It’s not like it’s a bunch of 5 stars you can’t keep off the field either

Right, but this scheme/call does not seem to be adapting.

Tim Banks has to go. If Heup wants to reach the top here, the defense has to be addressed this offseason. Otherwise, we’re going to waste championship level talent on offense.

And they are clearly playing to stop run. Take advantage.

 

[Big Orange Rock]

He plays TE at UT. Of course you won’t.

You saying we don’t use the tight end here? Feel like there has been a great emphasis last couple years on using the tight end. Even in the running game.

Look at OH ST, lost all that talent and might be better. Why? Patricia from NFL

 

[Enki_Amenra]

We’ve given up 282 to this KY offense in the first half. It’s so terrible

I had UK at 341yds of O. . . total. . .

 

[PYSCHO]

He's alive!

pulled a hammy lol

 

[SKV84]

I would take Clayton White from SCjr over Banks

DJ Durkin is likely going to be on the market. Take him and his whole staff.

 

[VolsnCards5]

Woo boy, Heupel seems pissed about the defense

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I would take Clayton White from SCjr over Banks

In a heartbeat

 

[Vol423]

You saying we don’t use the right end here? Feel like there has been a great emphasis last couple years on using the right end. Even in the running game.

We use the “right end” plenty. We don’t utilize tight ends well, and we never have. Even Witten should have been used far more in the passing game than he was. Other teams use talented tight ends as a real weapon. They’re an afterthought at UT.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Just looked up the team stats for this game so far. If Tim Banks is the DC next year then I want Heupel gone.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Heupel is so mad at the defense.

I don't blame him. Tim Banks needs to get his butt on the sideline. He came down from the booth once and we looked great, we've looked like a loaded colostomy bag before and since then.

 

[SKV84]

Have once again completely abandoned the running game

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Woo boy, Heupel seems pissed about the defense

He should fire Banks now and let Inge be the DC the rat of the year.

Where is Brame, after last week, as an example.
