The Official Tennessee @ #4 Alabama Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

Penalties don’t help

There’s no penalties that call the same play twice when you have a yard to get a 1st. There’s no penalties when you can’t contain a that can’t even run…..bless you let him.

 

[TennVols12]

Many on here are acting like we have close to the same talent as Alabama. We don’t. We aren’t in the same ballpark. I am proud of the fight in our team. I love this team and what they are accomplishing.

This 100%. It’s tough though at the same time my guy

 

[AllVols]

Someone has to make a play on 3rd down, both sides of the ball!!

This can't be understated...

 

[Memphisvol87]

We have to be the hardest team to watch. So predictable . We always choke. Bama has handed us a first half lead heading into half and we handed it right back. We are so bad on 3 rd down defense

 

[VolArmy74]

if we come out running here then you can throw any hope out the window. This is on Heup and Bankls so far

What's on him? The fact we are giving Bama a game as half time when you had everyone expecting a complete boat racing. That is on Heupel.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Still waiting on you to fill out the report and send to HR

Shouldn’t you be writing another 40 posts to defend the refs from ole miss game

 

[JRVOL11]

Just better talent that’s all.

 

[volz2wallz]

Score here tie the game...force 3 and out to begin 2nd half....GBO

 

[Shakinthefat]

They are just better than us...recruiting and coaching

For the past 14 yrs

 

[basspond]

Saban is a great recruiter. That’s about it.

He doesn't have to recruit. They show up asking for his permission to come play.

 

[ACvol3]

Never heard of her

Then you’re not watching the game. Metchie has been the best player on the field. He just mocked Payton with the karate kid pose

 

[UTK]

You guys bitching right now are absolutely clueless.

About?

 

[C-south]

So bad we scored 14 points.

Running the ball up the middle?

 

[wmcovol]

Screen. 1 yard loss, 3rd and 3 hooker keeper for no gain.

No excuse for the pitiful play of OL. Maybe they need to go back to Carvin at center.

 

[firestorm]

Ok the Volunteers need to respond after that successful drive.

I greatly wish VolNation members were sitting at my has 4 chairs high table in DJ's Dugout to watch this can be a thriller Volunteers Crimson Tide game.

 

[GetEmVols]

They are just better than us...recruiting and coaching

to be determined. Haven’t see Heupel vs saban with equal talent yet.

 

[orangerush]

Georgia will beat Alabama like a drum and it’s going to be glorious to watch.

Not with a walk-on QB.

 

[AustinMem]

Need to run it twice up the middle here. It has to work eventually!!

 

[amaralfan1]

You guys arent appreciating how hard we've made it for Bama to score at will. They are a lot more talented and deep than we are. The defense is good. Last year it was 28-10 at half. I like how Banks those boys believing they can play at Bama's level.

 

[Volsfannn]

And f____k traitor too'too

 

[Aerie Vol]

Many on here are acting like we have close to the same talent as Alabama. We don’t. We aren’t in the same ballpark. I am proud of the fight in our team. I love this team and what they are accomplishing.

This. Man....when hype man gets a full squad!

 

[Shakinthefat]

No more punts tonight. No more running the ball. Otherwise, you might just pack your bags and head back to Knoxville.

Buses are pulling up now…hop on

 

[SamQB7]

Listen.... listen y'all. This game is not over. We are making Bama EARN everything they're getting. This is unlike previous years.

Hype is going to rally the troops!!!

 

[utvolpj]

Would’ve been the yardage and loss of down.

Even with the motion penalty? Ok just wasn't sure if we could decline that or not

 

[All Hail Da Shine]

Block in the back by Alabama's lineman on Young (our DE) when they converted on 3rd down before the score. Nick Saban money have the referees free and easy. We are screwed.
