The Official #24/#18 Tennessee vs. Syracuse Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ABC

[VOLinAL]

This is ridiculous.

 

[OrangeTsar]

You slow the game down like we have allowed to happen and you get more injuries

 

[DaddyChad]

I can’t believe I’m jealous of how Auburn put away Baylor

You can get in on the Hugh Freeze fan club if you hurry.

 

[GoVols64]

I’m kind of fed up with the fake injuries we are doing. Pathetic.

 

[alavolfan]

These injury time outs… sheeze- like 20 so far.

 

[BreatheUT]

We're getting defeated at the point of attack far too often.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Just a reminder that Syracuse led the entire nation in passing last year, averaging 370 yards/game.

 

[The Original Fade]

Defense getting manhandled right now

 

[VolBricks]

This game is far from over. Never take your foot off the gas

 

[87&91ALUM]

Defense is worn out and beat up.

 

[MeanOrange]

Cuse looks like we did last year with Samson. Blowing our D away and our offense has disappeared.

 

[tntornadox]

We are hurting ourselves at this point. This is ridiculous.

 

[TN1111]

Don't recognize half these names. Having to play a bunch because we CANNOT stop anyone

 

[OrangeTsar]

Whomever said our games last longer than any other is on the money!

We are sleepwalking

 

[BradstarVols]

Tennessee might be faking a lot of injuries

 

[KeyVol14]

We've got players out there I've never heard of. Maybe that's why the defense looks a little suspect right now

 

[VolGirl81]

We’re letting them right back into the game

 

[BreatheUT]

I’m kind of fed up with the fake injuries we are doing. Pathetic.

I think he got banged up.

 

[Carl Pickens]

The D looks soft…. Maybe tired

 

[BleedOrange81]

Getting whipped up front

 

[rocketskates]

About to 10 or 11 with plenty of time...

Right. They score here it’s a two score with probably 10 min left. Definitely not insurmountable. Should’ve just finished the damn game when we had the chance.

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Why did we just play nickel defense when we knew they were gonna run it again at the 10yd line???

Where is the goalline defense? We are playing BS prevent defense

 

[OmahaOmaha]

feels like we are just not putting them away

AYE AYE Captain.

 

[vavolfan6]

I hope the SEC penalized us for these injuries! How are we going to complain about them and can't go 2 plays on defense in the redzone without someone on the ground??

 

[RAVOL]

I

Why we are playing so many subs with the game far from over is concerning

It helps build depth but why not wait until 4th. Missing Moi and Hobbs definitely up the middle. Valuable snaps for backups.
