The Official #18 Tennessee vs. Kentucky Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, SEC Network

I pride myself in being a realist. And, I have not called for benching JG yet. But, there's just no future in keeping him out there going forward. We supposedly have a stud OL and strong running backs. Put in another QB, rely more on the run game while that QB gets comfortable, and move forward.

Also, for me, this is the first chink in Pruitt's armor. Tennessee looked strong this season up until the second half of the Georgia game. But, how did they respond to adversity? They looked shaken. Most of the blame is on JG. But the offensive game plan has been terrible as well. Let's just hope the wheels don't come off completely this year.

Take away the pick 6s and we still lose. This is more than JG. This team has not progressed under Pruitt.

 

[ShoalCreekVol]

Well through the first four games with JG leading the team, we are a Henry T pick 6 away from being one and three. This is pathetic. This better be Bailey's team from this point forward, or I will never respect this coaching staff again.

If he is going to change QBs, I wouldn't do it going into the Bama game. Make the change during the Bama game or the following week.

Why not? We are not going to win that game.

 

[EODVOL]

No way I'd stay at UT and waste my talent with this staff, or risk injury bring chucked in with near zero prep.

Prep is on the individual. As a competitor you would want to play first day on campus. It is obvious you probably ran track in high school. Smh

Yeah but I'm saying I highly doubt he makes a change at any point the rest of the season or the following one.

 

[djohnnyg]

Are we done w JG now? Seriously. That has to be it.

 

[GOVOLS44]

Absolutely zero leaders on team. JG should not see field again. Just disgusted all around from effort to game plan to execution. Complete and utter failure.

 

[orangerush]

Jones’ 3rd year and 4th year teams were pretty dang good, both went 9-4. I don’t think Pruitt sniffs 9 wins this year or next.

I think he is the quintessential 7 win coach

 

[chad954ut]

This is a huge embarrassment as a fan and I can only imagine how the rest of the team feels all because a stubborn headed, pig farming head coach from sand mountain will not replace the Mayor's son playing QB. Just like a SE TN high school team.

 

[LTVol]

Christ? How's his throwing arm?

Doesnt read the blitz well

 

[FranklinVFL]

It's all 5D chess guys. Pruitt is setting up next week where Bailey starts and stuns Alabama in a huge victory. Trust the plan

Too late for me. You simply do not lose to UK...ever...but especially AT HOME.

 

[Spider2yBanana]

Don’t know. But he can walk on water.

Put him in!

 

[FlVols]

We need something to change before next week. Heads need to roll

 

[malibuvol]

We're stuck in a bad spot. Pruitt is a horrible coach but a great recruiter. What do you do? We have zero chance in hell of beating Bama. NONE.

There's only one or two more wins on the schedule this year...

 

[VOLAGAIN]

I guess you can see better up his ass....he clearly has his arms crossed and show no engagement with the team

Again... Get your head out your own ass....if he is pissed at himself... He isn't going to be very engaged and will cross his arm.... Why do I know .. because I am the father of a college QB. Until you have first hand knowledge... You are JUST ASSUMING.... yah ass

 

[BreatheUT]

I wonder how the players feel about the QB situation.

It's the one position that can destroy a team.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Doesnt read the blitz well

And that's just from his RB.

 

[orangerush]

Well you just got your a$$ handed to you by KY, how does that taste

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I wonder how the players feel about the QB situation.

Anyone but JG.

 

[BeardedVol]

Prep is on the individual. As a competitor you would want to play first day on campus. It is obvious you probably ran track in high school. Smh

Getting snaps in a Sunday scrimmage with a bunch of other freshmen and 4th stringers after the third game of the season is not adequate preparation for any QB.

 

[ShoalCreekVol]

Take away the pick 6s and we still lose. This is more than JG. This team has not progressed under Pruitt.

What a shallow analysis. Kentucky's scores in the second half were largely because of a worn-out defense that was exhausted. We were too busy throwing the ball laterally and behind the line of scrimmage and losing yards offensively to use time and let the defense rest.

This game is on the shoulders of Jarrett Guarantano and his daddy Jeremy.

 

[TrueOrange]

Plow Neyland field and plant it in turnips.

Turnips? Nah man, we ignored freakin’ DOLLY. Salt the earth to try to appease her.

 

[Creekcat]

This was one of 6 maybe 7 wins for this season I had picked. Now I have no clue if they can pull 5 out of the magical victory hat.

Well, we can say that Debord certainly had more to work offensively...
