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

I’ll just say this. We’re gonna open the playbook up second half and I see a horse. The man that rode him was death.

And hell followed with him

Hope you have something you drink buddy

 

[BreatheUT]

Wait, did they just really show the Clemson qb in a Dr Pepper commercial in the middle of our game? An absolute fail.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Think a draw play would’ve been nice there

When is the last time we tried Hyatt on a go route? It should be attempted at least a couple plays a game(or more).

 

[TennVols12]

Bob Kessling-first down
Actual play-3rd and 3 WTH???

Bob’s pretty bad lol

 

[Powder and shot]

Positive energy!

 

[GAVol]

Where’s the false starts at I honestly haven’t seen a single movement

They’re legit. I’ve gone back and seen 2 or 3 of them.

 

[Shakinthefat]

I like Hueple a lot, but the offensive coordinator play calling in the 2nd quarter was Sheet.. We were ripping them apart with the passing game, then back to conservative crap

Who is Hueple?

It’s mind numbing. I can’t see how any coordinator with any competitive drive would keep that chit up

 

[Bryan1]

Why are we complaining about the refs? Our penalties are all pre-snap.

Because nobody is seein anybody move except the damn zebra's, what part of that do you not understand?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Since when is a false start the coaches fault? Lol

Is it not the coaches staff entire job to ensure their players are playing smart football and not making dumb mistakes like a pre-snap penalty? Let's not use the tired excuse of "The coaches don't play so the team's play isn't their fault."

 

[UTK]

Why the hell are you even considering yourself a fan? You piss and moan more than anything on this site. Put down the coors trash.

I just have a higher standard than you buddy. I get where the program is, but I ain't ever gonna be okay with losing. To anyone. Ever. It ain't that hard to comprehend. I don't applaud the team for "playing hard" during the game, because that should be a given. Can I look back and say "Hey they gave their all." Yes and I have several times this year. But during the game, go ****ing win it.

without the run, there is no pass.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Seems like as soon as we get a turnover we stop playing aggressive. Happened last game, too.

 

[ETV]

I guess Saban got in the refs ear and said "I'm not gonna flop and fake injury's to slow the offense down, what I want is for you guys to flag em with false starts every time the line up"

You know someone has to move for that flag to be thrown?

 

[Volbrando]

We are our own worst enemy

 

[Other_Guy]

What are they supposed to do when you're averaging 3 penalties a drive?

 

[tnvols72]

too afraid to call a timeout

 

[GetEmVols]

I'm not sure I see the purpose in going fast, clock wise and otherwise with 2:20 or so left. Your defense isn't a wall or anything.

Because we don’t have talent. We have to try and get them to make mistakes by rushing to the line

 

[swami2302]

Where are any replays of these so called false starts?

 

[ftsandersvol]

Take a sack and force Alabama to use a Timeout?!?! Really McElroy?? Cant believe an Alabama homer is announcing this game

Edit: Wrong quote somehow.

 

[UTK]

? We shouldn’t punt or you are mad about the 3rd calls?

Why punt when they are gonna score regardless? I'd love to be proven wrong but the defense can't get off the field.

 

[VolNation88]

On any drive we have to get the first 1st down then they open up the offense.. the first three plays of any drive are just lack luster.

 

[stewart6600]

We can’t go shotgun and get a yard when they know what we are doing. Passing game has them guessing.

 

[irish1485]

Hell no don't call a TO

 

[hardyemt_p]

Game over. Proud of our guys. Just not enough quality depth.
