'25 Recruiting Forum: Official Tennessee versus Vanderbilt Pre-game/Game Thread

[INKYBERRYVOL]

Pavia has the heart of Tebow, confidence of Burrow, and moxie of Manziel… But nothing on his skills, lol.

Wish they gave that much effort Hendon Hooker other than saying it is a gimmick offense.

Can’t believe the drop off on defense from a year ago. Yeah we lost important pieces and injuries have hurt but dam son we fell off a cliff. This defense is near Sunseri level

 

[UTSuave’]

Coach also needs to get an actual OC and stop trying to call plays himself too. 4 punts on the worst defense (well other than ours lol) in the league is comically bad

Punters gotta earn NIL too

I won't quote it, but this team and most of the fans need to look up a certain statement by the great Jesse Ventura in predator. That's what we are right now.

“mediocre people hate high achievers and high achievers hate mediocre people” - Nick Saban

As a mediocre person I honestly love high achievers. Gives me more opportunities to be mediocre

Terrible game by Banks, has he watched any game tape. Don't blitz a running QB, keep 37 in as a spy, the stuff they are getting away with is embarrassing.The little fake run to pull the LB up and then pass behind him, this acn't be the first game he's done this, we are not prepared for this guy at all and it's not that complicated.

I’m hoping he is leaving and didn’t prep because he is gone after tonight.

31-21 vandy/refs

2:12 to go in the 3rd quarter

Dude, the refs are not our problem. Our crappy defense is our problem.

 

[dmwvol12]

Keep blitzing the LB instead of spy. Kind of basic thinking

We are getting out coached pretty bad in this game. I hate it but it's pretty obvious at this point. We are totally confused. Actually getting schooled. I hate how toxic it's going to be in here if we don't find some magic, but losing to Vanderbilt at home is never acceptable. Need a touchdown on this drive.

Wish they gave that much effort Henson Hooker other than saying it is a gimmick offense.

Yep!..10000% I love to see it but hate it at the same time..anyone who was an athlete can mutually respect his grit…he’s just a baller man

 

[StoVol]

Heup gonna have to show some balls to win this game

Gonna have to take some risks

But we are a risk averse staff, playing elders who know more but have less talent


That seeps into the spirit of the team, afraid of mistakes

 

[DD4ME]

@mrMet has a nice selection in the cabinet

I am with my dad and it's his last game in Neyland. No offense but **** the loss.

It's not. Our roster is just literally 49.5% freshmen.

We have no stops besides pavia throwing picks.


We are getting bitched

I've called him Temu Manziel all year

 

[InVOLuntary]

That's not it this year. The middle of the defense is bad. The run defense is bad....it is the players, maybe lack of rotation. So you're right, the tackles are probably gassed. But there are tackles on the bench that they dont play at all....which is crazy.

Didn't think that needed to be in blue.

 

[UTK]

Stop running the football. They cannot stop our consistenly. Now they get one deflection and it’s a 1 down drive

 

[jave36]

Why are we even doing the maybe fake handoff at this point if he's never going to pull it and run it? It just slows down the rb from hitting the hole and provides no illusion or misdirection.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Wtf is that spot

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Offense is doing nothing now


We are done tonight.

Agreed…I hope they pull it out

 

[RiseToTheTop]

We will score and people will get false hope


Until Pavia goes down the field in 7 plays

 

[vol4eva]

Dominated in the third quarter
