Thought from the start they played a weak non-conference schedule, and it showed tonight. They will probably finish around 5 or 6 in the SEC this year, but they have some frosh who have showed a lot of potential, could be pretty good, at least top 3 next year.

Our freshman defenders got abused and Lindsey had her worst outing in recent memory. Clearly, we were beaten by a superior team that is fast, passes accurately, and does not struggle to score when facing the goal. They also play a pretty physical brand of soccer which we didn't deal with very well. I still love our young ladies but the coaching...not so much.

I am growing really weary of watching good teams make us look bad by comparison. That is all.

I don't disagree with most of what you say. I would add that Arkansas had a very efficient defense. They are a quality team. I don't think the coaching is generally bad; quite good, in fact. Their overall record reflects that. But they were outcoached last night. The team didn't seem prepared for the opening onslaught. Romig did have a less than stellar night. In her defense, she hasn't had to stop many shots so far this season. She might have been rusty. I doubt that the next game will unfold that way.

Arkansas is a very good team but an even worst matchup for us. We have been poor in the air most of the year i.e lack of scoring from the corners and Arkansas is tall and athletic. Their defenders took Thomas totally out of her game. I will say the team never let up even though they were down.

UT played a training wheel schedule so the HC could pad his Wins. UT will be Auburn's next victim. Average coach with a weak non-conference schedule. You get what you ask for.

When our Freshmen get more experience, they will be better prepared to handle the pressure.

Come early, be LOUD!

MATCH CENTRAL: #RV/17 UT vs. #11/13 Auburn

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- No. RV/17 Tennessee will host No. 11/13 Auburn in its SEC home opener on Thursday, kicking off at 7 p.m. ET. The game will be streamed on SECN+.

UT, who is receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches Poll and ranked No. 17 by Top Drawer Soccer, enters the game with a 7-1-0 record, having suffered its sole loss of the season last week in its SEC opener on the road at Arkansas, 3-1.

Auburn carries the same 7-1-0 record and enters the contest coming off a 3-0 win at Georgia on Friday, Sept. 17. The Tigers' loss was a 2-1 setback that came at the hands of No. 1 Florida State.

The Vols hold a slight advantage in the all-time series with Auburn at 11-10-4. When playing in Regal Stadium, UT owns a 5-2-2 record. The teams last met on Sept. 26, 2019, in Auburn, when the Tigers took a 1-0 victory.

Thursday's game is Ted Lasso Night at Regal Stadium, and the first 200 fans will receive a Ted Lasso "Believe" T-shirt. It's also Dollar Dog Night for the first 100 fans, and there will be Thursday Trivia for a chance to win a year supply of Coke.

UP NEXT: Tennessee will return to the road, traveling to Missouri for a 4 p.m. ET match on Sunday. The game will be televised by the SEC Network.
GOOD COMPANY: Tennessee is one of just four teams in the country with a shutout percentage of .875 or better.

AGGRESSIVE OFFENSIVELY: UT is second the nation in corner kicks per game (9.5), third in total shots per game (24.38), and is tied for fourth in shots on goal per game (11.62). With 26 goals on the season, the Vols are tied for 11th in the nation in total scoring offense.

LOCKDOWN DEFENSE: Before giving up a goal at Arkansas, UT's back line tallied 633 scoreless minutes. They have limited opponents to a combined 27 shots on goal and 15 corner kicks through eight games.

EVERYONE IS DANGEROUS: Twelve different Vols have scored at least one goal this season, and 11 of UT's 26 goals have been scored by players coming off the bench.

NEW PROGRAM SHUTOUT RECORD:Tennessee held opponents scoreless from the start of the season through the 3:53 mark at Arkansas, setting a new program record for longest shutout streak of 633:53. The previous record was 533:22 set in 2012, spanning from the 6:33 mark at Western Kentucky on Aug. 19 through 53:24 at No. 1 UCLA on Sept. 9.

HOT START: Tennessee started the season with seven straight shutouts for the first time in team history.

We dominated that half but no score. French missed one point blank. Watching live we can not jump.

soooo many missed opportunities for TN. We’ve spent most of the match on Auburn’s side of the field and nothing to show for it.

Thank the good Lord for Huff. Thomas has gone awol on us. They get one corner and score cause they have a 6 3 girl they crashed in there to create the havoc for the goal.
