Getting no pressure on Rattler up front either!

Before the game, it’s like “he’s a statue “. Well he can be if there’s no pressure. And he’s accurate enough to burn us.

 

[tim]

My worry is Beamer would do it instead. He is the special teams guru after all.

Hands team all game. Returns always end with a block in the back anyhow

 

[butler5]

Stop

Stop what … are you serious , a below average QB and Offense is picking apart his defense

 

[Roundman]

If we win, it would be the first win when we're down at half, under Coach JH.

 

[RockyTop140]

Offense is not the problem in this one buddy. Open your eyes

 

[JMSqb11]

Another 38 point second half like last week and we’ll be fine

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

The playoffs would be nice, but I'm in next year mode. Turnage broke down on a ball carrier, and still missed the tackle. Like WTF?!

 

[WingT]

Neither play DB

 

[FLVOL_79]

I didnt start drinking at 11am today. This is all my fault.

 

[VolDave53]

Yea, they won close games. This hasn't been close since the opening possession. Also, at what point can we just get rid of quite possibly the worst DC in my lifetime? I wouldn't be surprised if he allowed Vanderbilt to hang 40 on us.

You don't remember Sal Sunseri? Youngster! LOL

 

[joevols89]

Keyton wouldn’t have made that TD grab Tillman made. No one else would’ve on our team.

 

[Cartervol]

Did we make SC punt in the first half?

No..Went 5 for 5..All Td's..

 

[posivol]

I'm not sure the defense won a single 1-1 that half. Pathetic. Where are flowers and McCullough

still on the bus

 

[nuclearjunky]

They did. Rattler got sacked and the refs bailed them out with a phantom holding call

Yea I kept waiting for the replay on that call, it never came. How odd…

 

[PowerT4me]

Stiff upper lip men. Let's let this thing play out

 

[amaralfan1]

The laws of averages say the Tennessee defense will get a stop in the second half.

Or even a turnover or two. SC has been prone to them and Rattler hasn't played as perfect as the state sheet shows. Vol fans need to have some faith.

 

[CaliVol2009]

Rattler will be a Heisman candidate after tonight. LOL Our defense is Pathetic. CAN WE PLEASE DISPENSE WITH THE PLAYOFF BS?

This won’t age well. We are gonna get some stops, and comeback.

 

[Frozevol]

Hooker trashed his Heisman hopes all by himself two weeks ago and in spades tonight.

Actually if he leads us back , he’s right back on top. But we’re Tennessee we don’t care about Heismans .

 

[OrangeTsar]

That last TD was just a good play by sC. Very hard to defend that throw to the back shoulder with any pressure on the QB.

They shouldn’t have had the ball to Maike that throw. That defensive holding call when we finally pummeled Rattler was absolute baloney

 

[Vawlranger88]

Ask LSU how we performed on the road

And we see how that has worked out for LSU… they are winning the games they should

 

[Kylo]

If Tennessee gets 1 defensive stop, they win this game. Just 1.

 

[CAVPUT]

No way the cocks have another half like that.
GBO

Against our defense, I think they've got a great shot at it. Not a single punt. Hell, we didn't even force a FG. Scored a TD in every....single....possession. You'd think that usc would make a mistake, get a penalty, turn the ball over...something. Just one time, but no. They played a perfect half offensively and did a very respectable job defensively.

 

[Volarious]

Martinez and Banks have to go after signing day. No way they can keep those two clowns.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Defense getting out coached by Beamer tonight

 

[NCFisher]

It's been apparent all season; TN is a defensive secondary from being dominant and Heupel is well aware of it. We'll see if Banks has a halftime adjustment in him. We need two stops this half.
