The Official #21 Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, SEC Network

"Lower body injury"

 

[Sarms58]

Cooper is out

 

[bpalmer28]

It is vandy. They are really really bad. Nobody expects that but we haven’t played remotely decent defense. It’s also a trend so far the last 3 years to play bad defense so naturally we all complain about every bad play.

The only real trend is how our defense has improved in each of the past 3 seasons. We are trending towards having a top 15 defense in 2024

 

[UTfan94]

Nice run.

 

[FlVols]

I’ve been slow to say anything about Banks this year, but the defense just got worse as the year progressed. This defensive performance vs. Vandy is just completely unacceptable.

Who would have thought it could regress each week.

 

[BallinVol]

Last game of the year Butch, can’t hold anything back now..

This is nonsense. Why would we show our hand now with a bowl game looming...

 

[AllVol68]

Cooper is hurt not surprised

 

[DeadByDaylightFan]

Cooper is out

injury prone

 

[vader]

Jalen Wright is the truth

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

It's a type of formation.

It’s the positions on the field. It looked like just 1 TE

 

[posivol]

candy focusing on the run

 

[Memphisvol87]

I’d love for Jaylen to bust a big one here

 

[ENGRVOL]

Snap needs to be better

 

[90 Vol]

Lmao at the ref not wanting to take the ball.

 

[posivol]

[Memphisvol87]

Let’s go Jaylen!

Top 15 in Swiss cheese

 

[AllVol68]

We really need to hit the portal hard for offensive lineman

 

[utvolpj]

Caught?

 

[Memphisvol87]

Nice catch but damn joe take the free first down

 

[YankeeVol]

HELL of a catch

 

[volfan102455]

Our defense has giving up 30+ points only 3 times this year. If our offense was better, our defense would naturally be better and wouldn’t have to deal with bad situations. Last year offense with this defense, we are in the CFP.

Our defense only gave up 30+ points 3 times last year - Florida, Alabama and South Carolina. This year the 30+ have been to Bama, Missouri and Georgia.

 

[Sarms58]

those Are the plays Joe needs to run

 

[Switch 625]

Catch

I'm starting to wonder if Heupel took over play calling.
