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

Overachieving’s butt. If you are okay with the way the defense is playing, you are a loser. They have played like this multiple games, and it’s not all on the Jimmy’s and Joe’s. You have to make a change on defense because next year isn’t going to be any better. The secondary continually makes the same mistakes. At some point that’s coaching. South Carolina isn’t world beaters, but the defense has made them look like it.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

At this point bring Milton in.
I wanna see what we getting next year

ETA
Well dang I didn't want to see Milton come in this way☹

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Heupel.....u better start firing people.....this is pathetic

 

[turbovol]

We've given up 50 points (1 shy) in barely more than 3 quarters.

 

[Z06Vol]

There is holding on the d-line but they're also getting manhandled

 

[joevols89]

2 years removed from the bottom. Still have some culture issues. This sucks...Hopefully the culture keeps changing for the better. Spirit of Lyle and Gump still have a little hold.

********. Heupel didn’t get them ready and Tim Banks has a terrible gameplan. Don’t blame gump or trumpet blower for this.

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Is this what unlubricated butt sex feels like? Asking for a friend.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

The QB is anything but mediocre, and he has had all day to throw against an OVC secondary

Dude had 8 TD passes in 10 games.

I'll stand behind what I said.

 

[GoVols64]

This is effin ridiculous. Our defense is 100% to blame. No pressure on the QB, no moxy and plain giving up. Offense isn’t great but 31 points and you should win.
USCjr is playing the role of UT tonight. Pathetic.

 

[MeanOrange]

I'm gone. Total beatdown. 3rd and 20 and make a 1st down! Peace. Out.

 

[tnburban]

Just embarrassing how these guys act like they won the super bowl when they make a tackle that results in a first down while losing.

Gotta question the culture in the room. Seriously have to question it.

 

[vanillagorilla]

The real question is, will SC fans storm the field?

 

[bpalmer28]

Damn Rattler can count! Looks dumb

Not as dumb as our defense

 

[nomads-11]

Our "zone" is more ozone than anything. Has a big hole in it!

As for "zone"...I get it....I'm having a really hard time understanding how our CBs play it. One guy in your zone, 1. And you play off him 5-10 yards? Makes 0 sense.

 

[IndianapolisVol]

Because Heupel is about to hang 60 on South Carolina after TCU & Michigan squeaking by a bunch of mid squads.

Make sure to bet the over.

@Freak gotta hit this guy with a 10 day ban for jinxing us

 

[Tnslim1]

Boy Beamer has outcoached Heupel by a large margin. No defense to speak of and once again Hooker craps the bed.

 

[Frank Duncan]

ARRRRGGGHH

 

[87&91ALUM]

Well, beginning of the year we were maybe a 7-5 team and Music City Bowl. Now we are looking at 9-2 and Sugar Bowl. I am frustrated with this defense but, we are getting better.

 

[zaqhhh]

Oklahoma may be the team that has hurt us most.

Raided us in the portal then gives SC Rattler

 

[wrharvey21]

At the bare minimum Martinez needs to go. Secondary allowing 400+ passing yards to a crappy QB/O is unacceptable and cost us a playoff berth

 

[Wezcoast]

Well at least that bald headed South Carolina guy won't be committing suicide or homicide tonight.

 

[JCHateSteve]

OMG

 

[CAVPUT]

This game was over in the the 2nd qtr.

like I said. Defense didn’t show up.

The whole damn team started buying their hype.

Oh well easy come easy go.

What the F ever. Same ish new day.

Being in the position we were in never comes easy outside of Bama and UGA. Might be quite some time before we have this shot again.

 

[Big Orange in Bama]

I’ll admit it….I’m stunned

 

[utvolpj]

Oh no
