The Official Tennessee @ #1 Alabama Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN

[JMSqb11]

Wish Pruitt didn’t light JG up. Now people will be saying Pruitt was holding back JG’s development

 

[give_him 6]

Well I watched this game longer than I thought I would. It was entertaining and frustrating at heck.

 

[spyfish007]

That’s on Cheany.

Why is that on Cheany? We don't know what JG was supposed to do. Coach is pissed. I can't see him being that pissed if the QB did what he was supposed to do.

 

[37620VOL]

Lol what?

Play was doomed from the start. Watch the play and tell me how he gets in the end zone.

 

[BP4Prez]

They said he’s beside himself! Oh please! It’s effing football not ballet!

Steve Levy has made a fool of himself tonight.

 

[C-south]

Are we all in agreement if that JG wasn't playing we would be winning.

No there’s idiots on here that don’t think he is a problem and terrible qb.

 

[EODVOL]

It was mentioned earlier on in the game that Chaney had made mention that JG would always audible out of the called play this season, wonder if JG tried to call his own number that last drive.

 

[golfballs]

This game has been absurd. For most of it we looked just as good as Bama. But refs screwed us. Then we have a shot to get it back and JG screws us. Either way we’re screwed.

 

[BreatheUT]

This has been an unbelievable frustrating game. This game should be within 7.

 

[KBVol]

These trash announcers trying to make something out of Pruitt and jg.

Don’t have to try. Pruitt is clearly beyond frustrated with Guarantano. There’s definitely something there.

 

[rocketskates]

They will score another garbage time touchdown to make it look like a blowout but the reality is this should be an 8 point game

 

[johnsonbrewer]

Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe Chaney's playcalling tonight.

He doesn't have a lot ( QB-wise ) to work with after Maurer left

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

He won’t see the field again in a volunteer uniform.

Optimism

 

[Dudleys87]

How bad is Tua hurt? I'll get all kinds of flack for this but I hope we've at least ruined their damn season.

If the parents were called back I’m certain it’s at least a few weeks. We’ll never know with Saban tho

 

[johnboyhunter]

Well, he slung it.....about 5 yards short of an open Palmer who would’ve scored had the pass been even decent.

Yep.. Palmer would be an absolute star on a team with a decent QB.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Bad play by JG but running up the middle 3 times in a row when it barely worked the first 2 times was a dumb play call.

If they had confidence in JG the play calling would be different but the Qb sneak was unacceptable.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Just hope Maurer comes back next week.

 

[Fayettvol]

wow, sure he should just get some brain damage to make you happy.

A small but vocal part of our fanbase does not care about these kids unless they win.... thats the truth..... they could care less about these young men

 

[tnvols72]

Nicky's boys are in for the tongue-lashing of a lifetime after this game. I'll say that.

is that before or after the the refs gets paid?

 

[Russdaddy2027]

Why have we not seen Shrout? Preserving a red shirt? Serious wuestion

Never mind I see now why he hasn’t played, he really is not good

 

[VolforFootball]

That guy that's being mistaken for JG right now will probably be very offended.

 

[PalmettoStateVol]

wow, sure he should just get some brain damage to make you happy.

Asni said, there is nondebating it, HE'S SOFT....

 

[firestorm]

I agree... they at least have some fight and played hard! They wanted this game!!

The game remained watchable for more than 48 minutes because Vols executed with effort and fought.
I didn't expect that in Alabama vs a excellent Juggernaut team that makes games laughers usually in the 1st Half.

Proud that the Vols gave us something to be happy about even if they weren't fruitful enough on the field for the most desired result.

 

[joevol33]

Do we know that he called it? What if JG just checked to that play on his own

The way Pruitt acted I almost think he did.

 

[vol_smoothie]

Like seriously I'm just following the score so I have no idea what happened

You don't need to know the details. You just need to know that it is Tennessee.

 

[nomads-11]

Yoshi Yamakawa

Well proud of the boys tho. Gave bama a fight till the 4th. Regroup (get a new QB) and win out.

Good QB play and it would be interesting the rest of the way. We'd have a better overall record too, at this point.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Butch Jones is gonna take credit for this one. "I recruited him to Tennessee guys!"
