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

It was just poor technique by a guy who missed a lot of fall practice.

Every time I hear "that guy is a statue" I just roll my eyes and think "they're playing Tenn"

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Its gonna take an hour to finish this game at this rate. Gonna have to go find some more walk on to finish this game.

I let my dog out to crap, then came back in for my own potty break, and were still in commercial?

 

[nomads-11]

The injury TO....getting outrageous.

 

[G0V0LS33]

this is gonna be the longest game in history. Injury timeout every other play

 

[jhcrane14]

Defense is getting absolutely broken

 

[marcusluvsvols]

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.

 

[mattutk2005]

I'm glad next week is ETSU.

 

[90 Vol]

Relax about our D. Our secondary may be top 5 in the country imo. We played a Freshman DB today. Boo had played 2-3 series. D tackle - getting exposed but injuries. The Cuse isn’t a bad team. So let’s win this game, rebound and see what happens.

You can relax if you wish. I see a defense that’s getting manhandled against a mediocre Syracuse team.

 

[BJWeeks]

Tennessee Defense: 7
Syracuse: 7

Yeah, this is going really bad….

As I said DEFENSE has been awful

 

[HypeVol2020]

Ugh

 

[Volfan76]

Can't believe Syracuse is running down our throat.

 

[volmoon]

Wow. At this rate we may need some Os to play D by October

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

Am I the only one hearing a whistle during the play mid play almost every snap?

 

[RockyTop140]

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

We are getting bullied off the line. I know we are thin at DT now. But what do you think UGA, Bama, and UF are going to do to us on the ground

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

That’s not a fake one.

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Does Cuse go for two here again ?

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Syracuse is shredding TN on the ground, never would have thought that would be happening but S&C apparently didn't work for the Vols in the off-season. Defense looks tired and soft now, tale of two halves

 

[VolunteerVFL]

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

Possibly, but at the moment we're up 18 and we have fans that are considering the ramifications of losing this game. Its wild.

 

[Vfl2407]

Injured player or penalty almost every play on defense except on third and long and guys wide open down middle . Frustrating second half.

 

[volgr]

Tim Banks punched above his weight last season. This looks more like his D.

 

[OmahaOmaha]

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

Defense is running clock.

 

[chuckb1448]

If an ACC team scores Three TD's on us we are in trouble

 

[deezvols]

Boo really showed up.

Has he done more than show up yet? Lol
