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

DW only cares about the bottom line

thats his job

 

[Ty4Vols]

Is there a way to only watch the offense? Asking for my blood pressure

 

[Sarms58]

KY had almost as much yardage 1st half as entire game vs. UGA. They had around 390 last week vs. Texas but only scored 13 points.

Here are halftime stats for those interested- TN on pace to meet their avg of 8 penalties.

But we had fewer penalty yards! And that’s unusual for us

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

He’s checked out. Bad attitude. We don’t need that with such a young group.

Kinda makes you wonder why they keep trotting him out there. Cut bait already.

 

[VolBricks]

I heard this week that Boo has turf toe and that is why his Sped and cutting have been off

 

[barney]

We should just assume he’s gone and not waste anymore energy on him.

Idk why we would want to keep him. He has gained weight and gotten slow.

 

[BreatheUT]

I'll be happy (relieved) with any win tonight. I just can't help but think about what Oklahoma and Vanderbilt are going to do to this defense. Probably Florida too.

It is a real concern.

 

[G0V0LS33]

So we playing in the Liberty Bowl this year?

 

[barney]

I heard this week that Boo has turf toe and that is why his Sped and cutting have been off

I thought Arion Carter had turf toe not Boo

 

[bpalmer28]

Keep Garner, send the rest packing.

Agreed but it doesn’t work like that. You’re not going to get an elite DC without giving him the freedom to bring his guys with him.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Arion carter has his deficiencies, but dang we need him on the field

Yes, he’s the only decent LBer we have

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

We're gonna have our hands full with Vandy.

 

[D-Vols]

Josh is discussing how the game is going with the defense right now, he’s gonna straighten it out.
if I was Josh, I think I’d be firing banks right now and taking over the defense myself, and I’m gonna send boo Carter packing

 

[vol94]

Boo Carter really ghosting this team man. Looks like he's not even trying. I'd cut my losses with him and get someone who wants to play hard

I hate calling out the young man but he has a poor, very poor attitude. He’s ticked off about the summer and what went down to get back on the field. There is dissension w/ some of the players. You can see it on the field. He thinks he should play offense. Well, he missed summer workouts so Heup took that possibility away from him.

I hope he finds happiness as life is too short, esp. college and life as a college football player. The talent is there. It’s pure effort rt now. He’s NOT happy.

 

[barney]

Keep Garner, send the rest packing.

Nah, I think Garner has lost a step. D lineman have been terrible against the run this year.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

I’m impartial to yalls debate but they are doing it whether we are going after the QB or not. We are just not good on defense

Nice name

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Careful! I mentioned Heupel’s apparent lack of capacity to hold anyone accountable and was the subject of the typical VN ad hominem attack.

The “coach knows best, you’re an idiot” crowd is out in FORCE this week. Stand by for their assault.

A blind man can see this staff needs a shake-up.

 

[CobbWebb71]

Boo Carter really ghosting this team man. Looks like he's not even trying. I'd cut my losses with him and get someone who wants to play hard

It ain’t Boo’s fault thatvthis staff doesn’t know how to utilize his talents.

 

[volfan411]

DW only cares about the bottom line

Danny’s job is to put @sses in seats and he has done a great job at that. He could care less if we win or lose at long as 100k is in that stadium.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Agreed but it doesn’t work like that. You’re not going to get an elite DC without giving him the freedom to bring his guys with him.

He will want Garner if he is elite. If he has another guy he can call him assistant DC.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

The impact of James Pearce taking up 2-3 blockers every play I think is being felt. Having an elite+ pass rusher makes all the difference. Josephs is good but not elite. Def not as much pressure as last season. Also Omari up the middle is being missed

 

[vol94]

Good point.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Yes, he’s the only decent LBer we have

And he's not that good either. Maybe decent like you said

 

[barney]

So we playing in the Liberty Bowl this year?

No way in hell we are beating vandy and oklahoma with this defense.

 

[C-south]

It ain’t Boo’s fault thatvthis staff doesn’t know how to utilize his talents.

Maybe they can hire his mom. We won’t even need 11 guys on defense.
