Losing Kongbo and replacing him with Ignont is a bigger deal than people want to admit.

Our defensive line is bad and it’ll probably be worse next year unless we sign some freaks.

I totally missed any moral victory. Our defense was 100% awful. S.C. only had 8 third downs the entire game. 8!!!! And they were the 82nd ranked rushing offense in the nation. And they ran it down our throats.

There was zero moral victory here. Zero, nada, nil, nyet. And to even remotely suggest anything similar to a “moral victory” in the same sentence as South Carolina is ludicrous.

What is next? A moral victory vs. Vandy??? Good grief. We fell apart. No moral victory...a frigging collapse is more accurate.

Haven’t you been paying attention to this place the last couple of years?

Defense looked horrible tonight. I don't think South Carolina punted at all in the second half. Miserable. Extremely frustrating game.

I'm also tired of hearing "we have to recruit the right players." We heard this for about a decade now.

I doubt the "right" players will ever want to come play here......

Come on now GCV... someone who lives on the coast shouldn’t have that kind of attitude! We are undersized on the defensive line and slow off the edge but it’s not hard to recruit the right guys. It won’t be long until we’ve got rooms full of mature 315 pound big uglies

The lack of talent and poor coaching came out tonight. The discipline is not there and the defense is not good. If JG could be coached up then maybe we can turn the corner. Pruitt has to recruit his own kids good enough to make dumb mistakes and win.

I was so confused why Pruitt kneeled at the end of the half with 30 seconds and a time out I believe? I mean run it, pass it, get in field goal range.

He made ballsy calls all season but backed down tonight. I just don't get it.

He then decided to go for it on 4th and 7 late in the game.

Just unreal.

Pruitt did an awful job tonight, just awful on many levels. Kneeling at half set the tone. The 2nd half was the worst defensive performance since Sunseri. His defensive players quit on him. They completely quit.

You should reevaluate your first sentence by reading your last two sentences. If they quit on him, why is it CJP's fault. Everyone likes to blame the coach but in reality, it's not the coach on the field missing tackles, assignments, etc. A coach can only do so much.

If your team quits that's on you as a coach. Losing that game is red flag no.1 for CJP. If you're a good coach, going to find success, those aren't the type of games you lose. Muschamp is a middling coach with a pedestrian team and we had a 12pt lead. Our team and coaches then shat the bed. Pruitt had many bad decisions..half time knee, no challenge, 4th and 7

Dumbest thing I’ve read all day.

The team didn’t quit, defense kept missing assignments and blowing coverage.

DL didn’t get any pressure on Bentley.

JG and offense did everything they could to win the game.

Then you must not be very smart. I didn't say anything about the offense.

The defense quit. Pruitt and even other players have publicly stated as much since last week, that guys "aren't playing right". Guess what they say is dumb too, right?

That doesn’t mean they’re not trying.

They’re just not very good nor SEC caliber.

Pruitt has hinted this all season! It’s going to take multiple recruiting cycle to get the guys he wants who can make plays.

Grow tf up.

Please explain how guys not playing right translates to quitting?

My girlfriend (who isn't even a TN fan) said "He's Dooleying it up!" when we took a knee with plenty of time and momentum to end the half. It's a loser's attitude, basically like saying "There's no point in trying. Even if we do try, we'll probably fumble or something". Can't stand it when we do that.

A good tale of the tape was the SC 2pt. conversion, bad defense of Bentley,
letting him score the way he did was awful to watch

Still waiting on the offense to play a whole game to help the defense out. One half of football will not do it.

UT does not have a lot of speed on defense and that is what hurt them against South Carolina's running attack.
