The Official #5 Tennessee @ South Carolina Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Tenacjim]

I knew they’d get the first on 2nd & 20.

Rushing 4, who arent winning their battles, gets you beat there.

It was 3rd and 20

 

[cobbwebb0710]

We don’t respond very well to getting hit in the mouth.

 

[vols40]

I can handle a lot of things in a team. I can't handle inconsistency. Dont beat Bama if you can't beat South Carolina.

So you would rather lose to both?

 

[rocketskates]

I love how our DBs keep jawing. Guys you’ve been getting dominated all night.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Defense has quit. Pathetic

I call it now. Not one change on defense will be made

 

[mpfvol]

This is the worst called played game this year and losing to SC is very bad look on Coach Hs resume just dont lose to Vandy

 

[patrick]

What an fn way to not show up and get busted out of the CFP by South Carolina

just sucks.

 

[bpalmer28]

He has been covering this up all season, good scheme and extraordinary execution by Rattler, definitely having the game of his SC life is just exposing it to the max. This is why or commitment list is full of DB types.

A JUCO staff and personnel could perform better than this.. NO EXCUSE FOR THIS

 

[photovol]

Lack of effort now on defense, 1 time I've seen it under JH

 

[Volnbeers]

Jeremy Banks was a key loss, not the reason we are getting beat. Question for the recruiting experts, if you fire Banks and Martinez...what is the impact on recruiting?

Do they even recruit? Serious question.

 

[OptimisticFan]

I’ve never seen a UT team regress this much.

 

[7maxims]

Butch 2.0

 

[CPVOL]

We can’t even tackle. How tf are you supposed to play when you can’t even tackle???

 

[joevol33]

Not putting blame on Hooker ( I get it defense is not good) but he's had several throws the last few games that he wasn't through the first six games

Agree, he's been off.

 

[Palmetto_Exiled]

Watch, SC will go scoreless against Clemson next week

They will probably get their doors blown off

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Vandy win is not automatic

Not if this D shows up

 

[tdd]

Atleast we don’t have to think about playing Georgia again. We be coming back to earth tonight.

 

[RollinVol]

Banks was a big miss

Wasn’t he like our 12th choice anyways?

 

[Big Orange in Bama]

Who teaches tackling?

Chris Farley

 

[BelieveTheHeup93]

We 9-2 if lose to cocks
we thought preseason 8-4
is what it is
let’s go
GBO
get recruits.
let’s GBO

Let’s also fire Tim Banks and Willie Martinez

 

[GhostVol]

Coach Pitt putting kiffy to night night. View attachment 516146

At least TN isn't the only team getting it from behind......

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

They need it. Good wake up call

They do need a wake up call.

 

[Freak]

They need it. Good wake up call

A wake up call for what, vandy?

 

[Creeker]

Defense deserves all the punking they are taking from SC players.

 

[UTFanHades]

I agree. I don’t understand firing coaches year two. We need better players. Martinez isn’t that bad.

Even if Martinez and Banks are that bad, what happens if you move on? Who would come here to get fired after 2 years? Could you really attract a better coach for each position knowing there’s that little time to prove yourself with the level of talent we have? I’m not saying either is an amazing coach, I just trust Heupel to handle staffing decisions and don’t think firing is the answer at this point. Either way, I trust Heupel to make the correct choices here.
