I feel much better about our defense

[BigNasty]

After watching just over of quarter of TCU vs Oklahoma. Maybe the worst defense I’ve seen in Power 5. OU just had 3 down lineman and 1 LB in the box on a second a 2. They are beyond terrible.

 

[CAVPUT]

I don't.

 

[Volfan39]

I don't.

Well you are a Tennessee fan. Nervous about anything and everything

 

[BigNasty]

I don't.

Guess I should have used blue font. One thing has nothing to do with the other but they are really really bad.

Not the least bit nervous. I know what we are on that side of the ball. No expectations past 8 wins.

Must be a sucky way of living

Oh and 8-4 is the floor at this point

 

[Orange931]

9-3 imo. Getting that Florida win bumped it up a game.

 

[volfaninky]

Too bad we don’t play in that conference and against opponents like that

They would score 40 on us with our defense, probably more. Still it would be better than playing Bama and Georgia defense.

Odd. OK not devoid of talent and Venables is supposed D guru.

Go back and watch some of our defensive sets from the GA St game a few years back. Maybe Venables watched that tape

Imo there are some coaches called defensive gurus that just happened to be coaching teams loaded with 4 and 5 star players. Pruitt and now venables.

Don't gloat, bub. Pride comes before a fall. Just push for our coaches to not exhibit either such a level of stupidity, nor for Heup to repeat his Fulmer tactic again.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

Heup should absolutely keep to his tactics. As we are winning and on the rise. Fulmer hate won't be of any consequence. GoVols.

And then there are people who've coached nothing who happen to think they can coach better than actual coaches who have. I know, it's crazy, but it happens......

 

[Volbrando]

After watching these other teams today I’m convinced if we had a better defense we could beat anyone. Big time

 

[TartanTurff]

I didn't worry about the defense today, they were not on the field, but watching the Alabama offense without number 9 still rolling up Arkansas means a long afternoon in two weeks regardless who their QB is,

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

BVS syndrome engaged!!!!

 

[Rocky Top T]

I don't. Our defense is not good

Not making excuses but the Arky D was spent and other than that one run I was not impressed.

 

[mallardvol]

Clemson, NC State and Missouri. I’d take half their defensive efforts tonight. Super aggressive.

 

[Coddlecreek1]

Of week perfect time to get some young bucks involved….got to

Georgia Tech beat Pitt. Kentucky handled Florida better than we did - in the swamp. Our 2 "big" wins aren't all that impressive.

Georgia's win over Mizzou wasn't that impressive either. It just shows that any given Saturday a great team can lose. I feel though that our defense is so bad that it puts us at disadvantage when it comes to these top teams.
