Let’s Praise the Defense!

[VolFreakJosh]

They were all over the field tonight! Played with energy and passion against a #11 ranked UK team.

Held Snell under 100 yds rushing.

Darrell Taylor, Tuttle, & Osborne made key plays as well.

I’m excited about Pruitt and his defense in the future! Go Vols!!!

 

[VollerNbham]

Can we play like that next week? Can only hope so. Need to kick Vandy's butt also.

 

[LivinginthePast]

They looked amazing

 

[NEVolFan]

They act like they are getting it... very nice to see. I think that level of play will carry over the rest of the way this year.

 

[Vol in]

They played great tonight. I hope they gained the confidence they need to do it again the next two weeks, and a bowl game

 

[vol-un-tear]

That was fun to watch. Except the 3rd quarter and the fumbles

 

[knoxvol16]

Agree. D played with purpose and attitude. Loved it.

This has to be the most inconsistent team in Tennessee history! Just shows how much potential we have under Pruitt. Great job today

Right great defense & offensive line so much better

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Admittedly, I don't know how to act. The Team looked so awesome.

 

[StoneColdStunner]

I love when a defense is more entertaining than an offense!

 

[southpaw75]

how is Bryce Thompson?

 

[Doberman]

One hell of an effort.

Hats off to you, defense.

 

[ProudVOLfan]

Learning how to win and what attitude is needed to achieve winning. Didn't see any pussy footing to the QB that's for sure

 

[pcvols81]

Darrell Taylor huge effort so happy for him.

Darrell Taylor huge effort so happy for him.

SEC Defensive player of the week? Would be nice to see him get it, especially since we had to hear about Josh Allen all game long

Taylor had a monster game today! Hopefully they all play like that for the next 2 weeks!

 

[Carl Pickens]

I bet a lot of you guys miss Bob Shoop

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I was shocked at how well the defense played. They shut down the run game. They got a ton of pressure. LB was great. Even the secondary played well. Very proud of the defense.

 

[trion23]

Probably our best defensive effort since Fulmer and Chavis were coaching here! In fact, it's the fewest points we've allowed in an SEC game since October 2008, and we did it against the #11 team in the nation!

Go Vols!!!

one touchdown allowed in last 8 quarters of football. not sure when the last time we did that, when both weren't cupcakes.

 

[Rockytopvol86]

Not in the least! However his current success brings many questions about how butch held him back!

I bet a lot of you guys miss Bob Shoop

Enjoy watching TN teams with a strong D. I just like watching good defense, and our D deserves a lot of kudos for their performance today.

KY is a bit one dimensional but with all the rules favoring the offense, this was a great performance. The future is bright, CJP can coach.
