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

[VOLifornia]

SC rushing the field and tearing down goal posts?

What’s the Over/Under?

 

[Hopeful Vol]

I blame the orange helmets

 

[oz615]

Welp there's the season.

Epic choke job.

Because that's the Tennessee way for 20+ years. I'm just so over it.

 

[Govols23!]

Haden showing what kind of player he is tonight. Spent the whole night jawing and running his mouth while receivers eat his lunch. Terrible effort

 

[Carl Pickens]

This is the most disgusting display of defensive football I have ever seen

 

[I Love Lamp]

This defense just played with zero fire tonight. Effort wasn’t there from a single unit.
on to the Sugar Bowl against K state or TCU.

 

[Allvols98]

It's always the refs when you suck.

Of course it is. Lol

Congrats to usc though. They came ready to play. I think all the talk got into our heads.

 

[sechamp2012]

If we make a stop it is the refs duty to throw a flag. Everybody knows u can throw a flag on every play and can validate it with nuance.

 

[theroyz71]

At least we don't have to worry about TCU now.

 

[Dudleys87]

Piss poor isn't even the word for the officiating .... and our defense ...

Great teams, hell good teams overcome things. There’s no excuse that can be given for the coverages called tonight.

For Tennessee to get anywhere Banks has to go.

Playing soft zone down hell even playing zone at all at this point is criminal. He should know Tennessee can’t play zone and have success and yet here we are.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

These refs are ***** us

We killed us. Stop blaming the refs. Offense underperformed, Hooker underperformed. Defense was never here. The whole coaching sucks for not having team ready to play. Maybe the most humiliating loss (with the expectations) I have seen since I became a Vol fan in 1985.

 

[tim]

9-2 is better than expected. But losing to sc feels worse than 7-4

 

[KeyVol14]

With everything that was on the line coming into this game, I’m at a loss of words on this performance. I know we’ve overachieved this year but this completely drains me man

 

[TNHopeful505]

This is all on the defense. 100%. Offense hasnt been amazing, but if the defense showed even a slight pulse, we win this game.

 

[CascadeVolunteer]

Hadden has lost his composure and is playing back yard ball. He has bee. Jawing all game. He needs to lock in and make a play

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Aight, folks. No more watching this garbage. I pray the Vols have a safe trip back to Knoxville, search their souls and figure out some stuff before they go to Nashville. I loathe Carolina, their coach and fans. But now I got to deal with them for the next year.
‘Preciate it, defense

 

[90 Vol]

This game is rigged. With that being said, this whole thing stinks from Josh Heupel to the water boy. We didn’t look like we wanted to play a football game today. Is there locker room issues? This team never showed up.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

All that jawing, getting beat on every play, then a PI in the endzone, and he's just standing there watching an open receiver walk across the goal line.

Definitely being chumps tonight across the board.

This isn't a particularly good team that is humiliating them either.

Scary to think what Stroud and those WR for OSU might have done to this pitiful secondary in a playoff game.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

What are ya gonna do Hooker?

 

[Frosty]

Hadden, martinez, Turnage should be barred from any Tennessee Facility moving forward

 

[Voldemonium]

Y'all have a good night. I've seen enough.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Theybwill score 60......this is worse defense gsme I seen in my 35 years as vol fan

 

[rocketskates]

Look at that prick and we are just letting him count his stats

 

[butler5]

we Can’t blame refs …….. when we can’t get pressure cause DBs can’t cover , Rattler looking like a Heisman contender

and we have allowed almost every QB look that way each week , we just have been fortunate that Hooker has looked better , but not tonight

unfortunately Hooker lost his Heisman campaign tonight

 

[1Volnation]

Florida and us.....wow
