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

[Proud Army Wife]

Do ya’ll think we’ll ever have a balanced team? I have my doubts.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

if our defense were just average, this team could make a run in the post season.

It’s the monkey on Heupel’s back now. Can he field a complete team (or at least one that isn’t grossly deficient on one side).

 

[wmcovol]

Wish we still had a walk on at safety.

Has Turrentine ever intercepted a pass? I can’t remember one

 

[Orange931]

F it. Let’s score on a long pass play here, 1 play.

 

[SCSmokey]

Banks should be fired after the game and be forced to walk back to Knoxville to collect his office decorations

Media needs to ask CJH about making D staff changes.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Yep. I know only the score is what matters, but giving up already 476 total yards to this team is just bad.

Perpetual misery isn't healthy

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

I'm starting to get weary of Tom Hart.

Listen to the Vol Network. Every single ESPN and SECN crew is trash.

 

[OrangeSquid]

Can the defense give up 42 points, LOL.

Be careful, they'll likely accept that as a challenge.

 

[onthehill71]

Brian Kelly is probably going to be fired tomorrow. They are getting blown out at home, during a night game, by Texas A&M. To be fair, TAM is a really good team this year.

The price of even a decent coach would skyrocket. PSU, FL, Okl State, FSU, LSU, UCLA all stomping around checkbooks out pushes up the price. Add maybe Sark also.

 

[Shocker0]

Not sure how anyone being honest could be upset at this point.

Have you watched our defense tonight? Or any other game this year?

 

[djohnnyg]

Our defense is concerning to me

 

[JMSqb11]

Do ya’ll think we’ll ever have a balanced team? I have my doubts.

Of course not. We’ll get an experienced and deep defense next year just as we’ll have to break in a new QB and receiving corp.

 

[87&91ALUM]

8:12 left...4th qrtr.

 

[tnvols72]

any school can run and pass on this defense

 

[McDad]

Call me a "neg" if you want, but giving up 34 points in a game with 500 yards will most often get your ass beat

Shut up, Neg.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Go get those yards Joey

 

[SCRocket]

Yes but only a series or two a half. The rest of the time it’s 10 yd plays at a time for the opponent.

I get what your saying and I don't disagree. I think we lost a lot of talent from last year. We are very young. We will be better next year. Banks knows what he's doing. Don't hate me too much lol

 

[adam.vol]

Not a cute comment. Probably should be reported.

You can report me if you feel like that’s your calling. I won’t give it any more thought.

 

[Go47]

Call me a "neg" if you want, but giving up 34 points in a game with 500 yards will most often get your ass beat

Agree.

 

[BigBadVol]

I really can’t understand the drop off in this defense from last year. I know we lost both corners but our DB’s are never in position to make a play. Our d-line is average and was suppose to be a strength. Confusing.

 

[molsen81]

We need 70

 

[vol94]

I think Heup knows his D is trash. He had a different demeanor at the half and after they score.


Come on Heup- put up six more!

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Has Turrentine ever intercepted a pass? I can’t remember one

1 this year

 

[tnvols72]

go score and dont get conservative

 

[LittleVol]

Can’t get pressure with 4. Can’t stop them running downhill. Can’t stop the intermediary pass.
