The Official #15 Tennessee vs. UAB Game Thread, 12:45 ET, SEC Network

I can't understand why our secondary is sooooo bad every year. Is it the coach or do we just not recruit quality players in those positions?

 

[Volfan76]

That aged well

Lol .yea, but in my defense most any HS rb in America could have made that run

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Sure is sweet to see a variety of plays.

 

[RandomUTfan]

He doesn’t have good vision. He’s plenty fast. Dude set some records in track in high school I believe.

Seemed to have pretty good vision last year vs. Ohio State.

 

[OrangeTsar]

That option was BEAUTIFUL

Injuries this year.

 

[VFL1127]

That option play was a thing of beauty

 

[vol94]

Banks is not good. That's fact

We have some good players but they are on the injury list

Our secondary isn’t bad

 

[OrangeTsar]

I think they got refocused

 

[allstar34bd]

Me too. Drop it before you score or eff off.

Bad habits are irrelevant until they come back to bite you.

It’s that day-gone Willie Martinez!

 

[OrangeTsar]

Why does Tennessee always seem to have so many early injuries each year? Is something wrong with our S & C?

I've never understood the reasoning for pointing out a flaw of a player after a great play in which the flaw can't even be identified.

Misery

Yup

The secondary was fine this year, a freshman and a 1st year transfer are filling in for a first round draft pick and a quality starter. Come on man

 

[volmoon]

UAB’s unconventional plays are conceived to get one on ones. Pick play passes. Box numbers on runs.

Well, we have talent, they just hold out for the NFL Draft

 

[RandomUTfan]

Yes that habit of waiting to cross the goal line to drop the ball is definitely going to screw him at some point. Do you see why it looks like to some people you are actively looking for reasons to complain?

The trolls love these threads. Looking for any reason to complain. That’s why the secondary is a common complaint. Every team is going to complete a pass at some point in the game, and they’re sitting here waiting for it so they can complain.

Let the other team gain 1 yard on a pass “ugh! This soft zone!”

We had two of the best in the league but unfortunately they are both out for extended periods

You’re right. I did the same thing that pisses me off at some. My apologies. Great play by Lewis.

Also Gomer Pyle has money on the game so he keeps fabricating calls

Yep, I’ve wondered the same
