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

[ProudVOLfan]

Sure hope we recruited some good dbs

 

[Bollweevil]

We soon are about to be reminded why Tennessee is Tennessee

 

[Jeff Clark]

Shouldn’t have to be in a shootout with a team this bad.

However Tennessee wins i can live with it.

 

[chuckb1448]

Seriously....? What's it going to take for the D to just be good.

Our secondary has allowed catches all year, I understand it from time to time but 10 games into the season we should be On it by now

 

[CPVOL]

How can a guy on this Defense let a team like SC beat them that badly and call themselves a man ??

 

[Memphisvol87]

After all these teams barely scraping by we cannot let South Carolina have a pulse. We will fall out of the playoff shot the second the media gets wind of us struggling to a terrible team

 

[TENNESSEESLIM]

They are giving us their best shot. Class will show itself over time. Just need to keep answering

 

[Other_Guy]

is banks out

Jeremy, yes.
Tim, unfortunately no.

 

[mpfvol]

They better start sending more rushers

 

[landscapingvol]

south carolina hasnt been able to really score all year.......

Most here don’t realize they are terrible on offense

 

[Hopeful Vol]

We look like Clemson.

Yea I don’t like them too much like Clemson

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Absolutely no pressure on Rattler. DBs can’t cover. You better bring pressure.

This.

 

[P.O.T.S. VOL]

Fire Tim banks at halftime he’s been awful his entire time here

Shut up....

 

[kbt vol]

def coord has to go or either our db are just trash

 

[Roundman]

Serious question. Have we ever had an elite defensive coordinator?

Monty Kiffin

 

[tdd]

We suck defensively. Willie Martinez is terrible. South Carolina scored 6 points last week. Don’t have their first 2 running backs and we can’t stop them. I game plan. Do we not watch any tape on our opponents. No game plan defensively. Geez we suck on defensive. Sad and hard to watch.

 

[UTFanHades]

Safeties suck. Slowest guys on the field

No-it’s all on Willie Martinez. He’s the one back there defending. Just ask half the posters on here.

 

[C-south]

Maybe we should just play a basic two deep safety and let them beat themselves like everyone else has. Not sure wtf they think changes on defense from week to week with our terrible secondary.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Was it this bad though? I seem to recall them settling down after giving up the first score.

It was 28-24 in the second half.

 

[RockyTop140]

Wasn’t planning on drinking tonight

 

[midtnvol2]

secondary has sucked all year. MArtinez secondary has always sucked and out of position

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I mean USCjr has been pathetic all year long on offense. This is inexcusable defense, even in a road game.

 

[Volfan574]

We are playing to get in playoffs won’t look good to have a close game with SC

 

[jacvols]

Defense is going to let Rattler have a career game

 

[jaguinn5]

We can talk about TCU and Michigan having to come back and win today, but we still haven't proved we can stop South Carolina's offense. Their offense is terrible by the way. Terrible.
