The Official #15 Tennessee vs. #6 Georgia Game Thread, 3:30 ET, ABC

[vavolfan6]

Defense has to get off the field. They are going to get exhausted especially considering the injuries we are dealing with. Since the 3:30 minute mark in the 1st Quarter Georgia has run 34 plays to our 13.

We have GOT to stop them on this first drive..... get the ball and Methodically move the ball downfield to st least get three. Ive always been amazed at how we Score at Will then Suddenly look like we are in a Closet with No lighting

Have you watched the past two years vs Georgia? Not looking familiar? Come out on fire and then fail to adjust when Ga does. You ain’t gotta like it, but it’s true. We’ve been beat since Ga settled in after Q1. Sure hope I’m proven wrong after half.

That’s what I’m saying. Same **** different year

 

[rocketskates]

Unfortunately refs gonna call us if it looks remotely close to a penalty, UGA gets a pass 9 out of 10 calls.

Call on Hood was fair but the earlier call on Farooq was BS. That was a bang/bang play and he closed on the ball perfectly. Sucks because it basically handed Georgia 3 points. They would’ve had to punt otherwise.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Weve got to be able to run it some to keep them off balanced.

 

[Tombo7]

He’s been picked on and burnt all game. Church it up as an “interception” if you’d like. He caught a hailmary that you likely could’ve caught as well.

You call your kids garbage when they don't play well? Don't know what church it up means. I'll ask around tomorrow. Be better.

 

[dalton_vol]

We can’t unless we are showing them they can’t play with a stacked box. We did exactly this the first 3 drives. I’m not a huge x and os guy, so I have no idea what changed if anything did.

I feel like we kept throwing screens and the defense is playing tighter on us

 

[84Volfan]

That should worry me

Hahaha exactly

 

[theroyz71]

At minimum, we need to come out and look stout. A backbreaking drive after halftime would be awful

Yes, we need a stop on defense coming out of the half.

 

[joevol33]

If we don't get some momentum back, this might get ugly. Our defense is gassed, need a turnover badly.

 

[TrueOrange]

Since our d coord has been on campus u mean. He just cannot adjust....or refuses to. For years

I honestly- given what was also done at UCF - think it might be this way by design. It kind of seems/feels like it’s one of those like 2010s Chip-Kelly-at-Oregon or spread offense Big 12 or Mike Leech offense or 2013 Missouri style corresponding defensive setups…

Like the whole overall scheme is an offense that scores most every drive and scores quickly, with a bend don’t break defense that pressures and forces a punt once or twice, Then suddenly it’s a 3-4 score deficit and the other team is panicking and having to force passes to try to score quickly to try to quickly cut the deficit, allowing the defense to pressure and/or suddenly force a turnover or two that the offense turns into a larger deficit.

Like, it wants 45-20 style scoring games and to get there in a hurry, but the really, really talented SEC schools like UGA or teams like OSU aren’t going to give you those kinds of games…they’re going to after the first flurry and efficiently shut down offenses designed around quick scoring and force your team to beat them with your bend-don’t-break defense (schemed mostly around getting pressure and another turnover or two to widen the game) having to step up play to make up for your offense getting stifled.

Anybody that says this Ga team “ain't that good” is full of it. Same ole Ga. Fundamentals are exceptional & physical as hell. Stockton running is a problem.

 

[CobbWebb71]

I'm worn out.

It’s fun playing big boy football, isn’t it?!

 

[chuckb1448]

Keep Running the Same Crap as we did at the Start Until They Stop It

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Ok.

You have a “loser mentality” around here if you recognize patterns repeating yearly.

perfect recipe!

 

[90 Vol]

Opening drive is critical. If Georgia scores a touchdown, we lose. If we hold and put some points on the board, we probably win.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Georgia is talented at secret holding and PTIs in my uneducated opinion.

 

[Cdywolfe]

I fear that George's halftime adjustments are going to be better

Pretty sure we all do

 

[Go47]

We have to stop them on their first possession coming out at the end of halftime. That will set the tone!

Need a turnover coming out of half. We won’t stop them.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

How is 6 wearing our receiver not PI? His left arm all the way around his back!

 

[DaddyChad]

If we don't get some momentum back, this might get ugly. Our defense is gassed, need a turnover badly.

Crazy we’ve seen as many true freshmen out there making plays on both sides of the ball already.

 

[tntornadox]

Need a turnover coming out of half. We won’t stop them.

They're overdue IMO. Let's keep the faith.

 

[chuckb1448]

perfect recipe!

Ty Caz, im frustrated lol
