The Official Johnny Majors Classic Game Thread: #24 Tennessee @ #17 Pittsburgh, 3:30 PM ET, ABC

[C-south]

Banks still looking like a RB playing LB. Never understood the love at LB

It’s ok he’ll get a personal foul to seal the game for Pitt right when we get back in it.

 

[benholt06]

Yep secondary is still trash

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Wow.. outclassed so far. Need to score every possession at this point

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Less than impressed.

 

[Volsfannn]

Guys are just WIDE open. I don't get it.

What's not to get? The defense sucks. Just like last year

 

[Volbrando]

At this point, is it the players or defensive coordinator?

Yes

 

[Larkin]

Embarrassing

 

[UTFanHades]

Is it the DC or the Jimmies?

I’ll say Jimmies until we get talent

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Our dbs are being set for failur. You can’t blitz like that and expect dbs and lbs to pick up zone that fast damn bro, put them in man when you blitz , how many times do you gotta watch the same result before you realize banks

 

[njvols]

I don’t want Pitt to get another point. We have more talent everywhere. Time to execute

not sure where you’re seeing that???

 

[wmcovol]

Too many non-SEC athletes on the defense, especially in secondary.

 

[happy-go_vol]

Guys are just WIDE open. I don't get it.

Pitts coverage is way more tight than ours. We play off teams 10-12 yards

 

[lilesrt]

We looked better in year one against a better QB.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Martinez is absolute garbage. I don't care what any of you say.

 

[djohnnyg]

Our defense couldn't stop a pop Warner team.

 

[patrick]

Well **** fire what a hurdle

That’s wasn’t a juke. It was a hurdle.

 

[BLUTickbusdriver]

Safetys are so far back they might as well be in punt coverage…if your that far back you don’t need to cover…you need to be able to TACKLE!!

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Please don’t tell me he graded out well after this. He whiffed on the TD run and is the guy they pick on.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

There's an ESPN highlight for the next 30 years

Who did he leap over?

 

[TennVols12]

Their QB is killing is when we blitz. He’s good

I’m not so sure, everyone is wide open

 

[rocketskates]

We are getting to Slovis quickly but the problem is the WR's are Open

Yep. If the DBs could just cover for another second we’d be sacking this kid like crazy.

 

[GhostVol]

And you want to know something that just makes it all that much worse?

Slovis didn't even throw to the side of the field the delayed blitz was coming from.....

 

[cwbytruckers]

All those hits that are just a step to late if they were sacks then everyone would be clambering the defense is good. Why does the fan base have to always assume we are trash before the game is over. Pitt is a decently good team making plays. But i know they are trash because they are curb stomping us which means we cant be good.

 

[molsen81]

I had to refill my goblet after that defensive effort……seeing double soon.

 

[Cartervol]

Why we are ranked baffles me. It's like no one watched last week.

D is ETSU caliber

This week will fix that.
