Rattler having a career day

It's what Tenn opposing QBs do. It's all they've ever done.

 

[Dudleys87]

Heupel should not get a dime til this defense is fixed

His offense is just fine. He should fire Banks. That’s a start.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

This is a talent/athleticism issue.

Not totally. Players are out of position. On the throw back to Rattler no one stayed on the backside. Terrible coaching.

 

[volpreacher]

All the Jeremy banks haters miss him yet. I think he’s the leader

 

[knoxvol52]

9-3 or 10-2 is still a really good season.

Better than what everyone expected

 

[GhostVol]

Going to have to get a stop SOMETIME

When??

 

[OrangeTsar]

Need to put Rattler on the ground a few times

 

[P.O.T.S. VOL]

Bunch of vol nation fools praising fiddy all week....dumb ass

 

[G0V0LS33]

Brick by brick fellas

 

[Voltopia]

This crowd is frothing at the mouth. Everyone was polite early but they’re starting to believe. Sigh.

 

[GreyWolf1129]

Yeah, if I'm a neutral fan watching this game, no way I vote the Vols into the CFP.

That being said, Go Vols.

 

[volboogie]

I blame the idiots for saying how easy this game would be. Karma.

Those idiots aren’t the ones getting their asses torched.

 

[AllVols]

Remember last week. Relax everybody.

Umm, hard to relax like this, as we were at home last week. But thanks for blowing smoke.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

See the stats on USC's last 2 games. Horrible and we are making them look like Georgia.

We are making them look like us on offense

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

I was not saying total. Passing yards

I know you weren't.

I was saying Rattler will go for over 400...could hit 600 total easy at this rate.

 

[Matt2496]

We look slow

The slowness is because they're confused. They're confused because they're not prepared. Yes, our defense is thin, but that is no excuse for the piss poor performance tonight. This is 100% on the coaches.

 

[Dougie_D]

TN is bad man to man. Plus I don’t think they have see the wildcat

 

[tntornadox]

I will say this... SC is holding almost every drive and they are simply not calling it. That doesn't help either.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Well top 5? Nope. We are not top 4 for sure. I'm completely embarrassed

 

[Caz]

Not

I may get roasted but here it goes. Fans who are getting upset or making statements that the team is paying line trash etc, are NOT bad fans. Every fan base does this in every sport for every team.

Fans are fanatics. Fans get emotional. As a fan, I am more emotional than I was as a player. A fan cannot impact the game. It is hard to sit back and watch one’s team get outplayed.

There is so much on the line and it’s difficult to get to this point, a chance to the playoffs. To make it worse, USC Jr is about to score again to make it 28-14. Wow!

I don’t know if TN will win but rt now, our defense nor defensive coaches have an answer and it’s very concerning. Giving up 28 points in one half is absurd. And we still have 9 min in the half.
4 possessions=4 touchdowns for Jr.



Go Vols

Not roasted by me. You’re spot on!

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

Good thread to see who can’t handle adversity. Bunch of weak bodies in here

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Can't believe with a playoff bid on the line we are playing this uninspired. First chance in 15 or so years to be relevant and we're gonna crap the bed against USCjr

 

[1allvol]

A lot of game to be played still, but, wow, we look awful.

 

[malibuvol]

This is the worst it has ever looked in my lifetime and I’m old

No I remember the 2012 defense where we gave up 700+ yards to UAB, or someone like that...But this defense is close behind that one in 2012
