Glad to see him do well on a team with a strong history and doing the right things to put the train back on the track. With that said…he still can’t catch a pass standing up.

Clearly, you are confused with the difference between whining and at-home defense analysis. Coach Banks appreciates the hard work put in each week by us.

Meh. He throws a lot of interceptions. Wish we had Arch Manning or Ty Simpson or Nico instead.

Do you think this is on the Mike LB? Cover 2, safeties playing too deep and the corners covering the outside. Always vulnerable between the lb and safeties. Teleanders responsibility? I’m sure coach Banks is reading this and will thank me for the observations.

You are correct. TN was ranked 6th nationally only allowing 30% conversion.

It’s probably my perception, but it seems last year the defense had trouble stopping third and 10 with the opposing teams hitting slants in the middle. Today: 4/10: 29 yard pass over the middle 3/10: 11 yard pass over the middle 3/11: 22 yard pass up the left 3/6: 28 yard pass up the middle...

If you drop before the ball is set…no foul. You’re right, they’ve already figured it out.

Ball has to be set

According to Winsipedia: Kentucky - 120 games Vanderbilt - 119 games

Pretty much. 2022, opening game, vs Ball State: First play, Tamarion McDonald intercepted John Paddock on the first play of the game. On the second play (first for TN), Hendon Hooker connected with Jalin Hyatt for a 23yd TD. Time on the clock: 14:37. And thus the tone was set for the season...

Case in point: Kirby Smart and Georgia.

Tennessee did lead the SEC in '23 in rushing. Wright was TNs top rusher, but was not top in the nation or the conference:

This could work. Better than Copperhead Road.

LOL. Class of 1992 here. I vividly remember McGavock and “Happy Trails”. Wow, what a memory!
