The Official #11 Tennessee vs. #7 Alabama Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, ABC

[mpfvol]

I said this after the OK game. Heup has no acted the same since that game.

Maybe he wants to go their who knows but this offense is his and has been in the gutter since then .

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

He doesent trust the OL that’s the problem.

The o line isn’t his issue this week

 

[GrizzlyVol]

He doesent trust the OL that’s the problem.

He's had time today

 

[brubaker]

NC State and Oklahoma were just not good teams ...

 

[Other_Guy]

Glad you believe in miracles because that what it would take for what you wish for.

Tenn is a much better offensive team in the 2nd half... technically anyway. 14 and 17 is better than 0

 

[BJWeeks]

Our running backs need to quit tip toeing on the line of scrimmage and bull doze through

 

[VOL RN]

STICK AROUND WITH ME TO JOKE ON THE HATERS..TENN WILL WIN

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Worst Alabama defense since 1998? Don't tell Heupel. Vandy scored 35 on them. Georgia scored 34, South Carolina 25.

Who is responsible for coaching this guy? Who is the QB coach/Offensive Coordinator who prepped him and this offense in the spring and prepared him and this offense for this season?

The SEC is now like the NFL. It’s a week by week season.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

We can win this game. However it will take our offense doing a complete reset and just playing football. Yes it has been bad. Nico needs to get his head right. His confidence can't get any lower. Easy throws and get our playmakers involved. But the ball needs to get out quick and let it flow

We are SO close it’s maddening lol

 

[Volnanza]

The plays are there. We missed 2 TD passes and 2 FGs. Nico just needs to settle down. If we hit those passes, then the run game will start up. It's there for the taking.

 

[djwes]

Our coach is good, our QB is young. But… our coach picked this guy, he also picked Milton over Hooker….. Does he really know how to pick a QB? I can only hope so. From what I have seen, we don’t have a Quarterback, at all.

Banks is good, no evidence on the O side of the ball.

 

[jcvol87]

I’m not saying it’s over but 3 straight games no score in first half… even if we win this one itss an absolute problem and this is 100% on the coaches. Who cares if a player has NIL, if they’re not performing then with their $$$ down

 

[OldVolMan]

Heupel said this week the offense is “getting very close”. You sure could fool me.
How can it be any closer and miss three scoring opportunities.

Idea:

We have a "First Half PaperbagOut" for home games until 2nd half we wear paper bags over heads

Take them off after 0 point halftime

 

[DD4ME]

My confidence in Nico

 

[JT7]

Nico making more in college than Hooker as a pro, let that sink in.

 

[Other_Guy]

the running back was in pass coverage

Not talking about then. Just saying. Like when his knee was down. He should've already thrown it out to him.

 

[wmcovol]

Tennessee has tall WRs except White and Nico won’t throw the ball where they can go up and catch it.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Just keep playing Vols.

 

[UTblood4life]

Vandy had no problem scoring on Bama. Let that sink in......make you want to puke

This

 

[djwes]

NC State and Oklahoma were just not good teams ...

Yep, SCJr trashed OU today

 

[orange_glory]

Maybe he wants to go their who knows but this offense is his and has been in the gutter since then .

Oklahoma wouldn't touch him with this offensive production

 

[CoachClick]

Can we go get eight 1 million dollar qbs? Surely one would be sufficient

 

[rocketskates]

The o line isn’t his issue this week

Exactly. Both of the deep ball misses Nico had 4 seconds. That’s an eternity. It’s pitch and catch. No reason for it.

 

[therealitytheory]

Heupel has shown more reasons not to trust him, than he has to trust him. Take that last play. Why run that? Why kick two 50 yard FG when the kid has zero chance to make it? Why keep calling runs between the tackles when the o-line can’t open up lanes? I swear all the dumb one liners aside, his in game decisions are Pruitt-esque. Just call something and hope it works. Then do it again

Pruitt-esque? Get a frigging grip.
