The Official #9 Tennessee vs. #1 Alabama Game Thread, 3:30 pm ET, CBS

[KBVol]

And another shoulder injury. Buchanan hurt. Have to be the softest, most injury prone team in college football.

 

[turn3]

I saw Dobbs sling a 15 yarder with almost no effort in warmups

Tailwind?

 

[Sarms58]

Poorly called game offensively, defense couldn't handle it, rough.

Bama s outstanding on D AND a horrible matchup for us....if they lose they will lose to a team that has a strong down field passing attack...that's not us.

 

[patrick]

Unfortunately I agree. A lot of the best in state talent is going elsewhere

yeap.

 

[Shakinthefat]

You do understand that there is something called "being competitive" correct? Going 10-2 and losing extremely poorly to the only two good teams on your schedule says a lot about the state of the program under Butch Jones. Yeah, we pulled off a miraculous near-comeback against A&M, but yet we suffered from the same slow start/unpreparedness that we've exhibited in every game. It's been the same story every game this year, just with differing levels of competition in our opponents.

Different story if we had a Sutton, JRM, Kirkland, you name OL player

 

[BIGAL27]

Quit crying. I would hang 70 on Bama, they should try to hang 70 on us. Go get in your safe space and cry it out.

It's Tennessee's job to stop them..

Safe space lmao!!!

Miracle wins or not, this won't sit well, and shouldn't, with the powers that be. This REMAINS the rivalry that matters and well it should.

The University needs to move to make it relevant again. Until today's game, we thought it was. As a proud Tennessean, I would sure like to see the streak stopped.

It's historically an important rivalry, but since the split to divisions I don't agree that it's THE rivalry that matters.

If Bama keeps hauling in number one ranked recruiting classes, they're going to keep competing for national championships every year.

 

[TN1111]

Our s&c coach needs to be evaluated

 

[Zues1]

We need UF to "find the time" to play LSU, it would suck to lose the east because we had TAMU and Bama from the west!

That game was schedule earlier this week

 

[Lankykong]

I don't see us winning the East now anyway

Maybe Hurts and half of AL will get injured so they lose to A&M so we can have a rematch with them in the SEC championship.

 

[fade route]

Bama will smoke this team again if they play again. Butch isn't close to being on their level. Not many are, but Butch won't beat Bama as long as Saban is there.

Not really a fair statement since you could say that about 95% of all coaches.

They are playing in Baton Rouge Nov. 19

 

[river rat]

Get well or don't sleep on Vandy.

Sadly, agree.

 

[firestorm]

Sometimes it just all goes your way

 

[sccshortstop]

we stumble and bumble more than any team I have seen

 

[KB5252]

How could you possibly know this? Why do you guys preach hell fire and brimstone?

No offense but have you watched this game? We have injuries for sure but this team has not been handled well on offense all season long, we just had better talent to make up for/come from behind.

Or defensive issues have been due to injuries, but our offense has been playcalling compounded by injuries. We have serious issues on offense.

 

[ETV]

That's just sad. Recovers his own fumble and still gets the 1st down.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Our s&c coach needs to be evaluated

This is a very true statement.

 

[volballs1]

Will not be our last rs loss.

 

[MikeyInTheHam]

Too many injuries. See you in Tuscaloosa next year or maybe Atlanta later.

 

[volcop1]

let uf get man handled in the sec t game -- one less loss for ut

agree 100%

 

[fade route]

All I can say is Peyton please reconsider being an oc in some compacity for the Vols

Funny that you just assume this would work

 

[Dergibvol]

Hate to say it but this really hurt or chances with trey Smith

 

[NCFisher]

Do we want Florida to win out? Who wants to see Bama do this again to our Vols?

I do. And anyone else who wants them to learn to play championship-caliber football.
