Feels like we haven't had an offensive play in an hour

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Both Inge and the new Defensive specialist just hired have DC experience.

Oh I know but how are they better?

 

[Volnbeers]

Losing 3 dlineman hurts but I have serious concerns about the defense. Getting McCoy back will help, but who know when that will be.

 

[I Love Lamp]

The amount of injuries in this game is crazy

 

[Big Orange Captain]

man i just can’t anymore with this faking injury crap

 

[G0V0LS33]

May be 7 pm before this one is over

If our defense can’t stop Syracuse from running it up the gut . . . UGA and BAMA and UF will run at will.

We were doing pretty well earlier in the game, we went conservative on offense and gassed the defense. It’s not hard to see.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I really hope this is 1st game + injury issues and not a sign of Tenn having to rely on offense this year against actual good teams.

This many crucial injuries in the first half of the first game of the season doesn’t bode well.

 

[nomads-11]

Ah, who'd guessed it....injury TO.

 

[Spawn]

Play calling late is suspect. Coach has to see the D is gassed

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

BS injuries are killing our momentum

 

[VOLinAL]

I mean we gotta be somewhere in the 15-20 stops for the day for injuries right?

 

[Other_Guy]

This is ridiculous

 

[Go47]

This possession is the first with true pressure we've seen today. Let's see how they respond. So far Heupel and Banks get a D- for the second half. The Cuse staff has made them look like morons.

It’s not coaching. We can’t stop the run . . . Their oline is dominating our DTs.

 

[volgr]

This game is never going to end.

 

[GoVols1961]

Got to make first downs and use clock. If a big play for us happens, fine. Can't believe we can still lose this game but we can.

 

[tntornadox]

It's a domed stadium. Is it very humid in there today? A ton of cramps.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Outscored 26-21 since 1st qtr

 

[molsen81]

Throw the ball downfield. Stop this Fulmer stuff!

 

[1morevol]

How many injuries combined todayà

 

[DaddyChad]

Play calling late is suspect. Coach has to see the D is gassed

Blocking was kind of crap on that play.

 

[volmoon]

Definitely will help, but I still dont think they are at the level of what we lost from last year. Right now what sucks is who knows when we get those back. Robinson doesnt look like he's gonna be able to play a lot of snaps. Hes getting hurt once a series right now.

D line definitely not as strong as last year.

 

[Caz]

In all fairness, they did win 10 games last year and ended the season ranked. So they are not just a pushover team.

Respectfully, this is not that team last year. It’s been completely overhauled

 

[vavolfan6]

Lol. Cheap tactics piss you off but you’re fine with a cheap low blow post?

I'm just pointing out toxic traits in someone who posts as a "Daddy." Hopefully it reminds you to be a better Dad that teaches strength and accountability.

 

[UTwild82]

Everybody doing their best Fred Sanford has caused this game to last forever.
