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

[Kicker82]

I’m so tired of moral victories…needed a stop there to have a chance

 

[C-south]

Agreed. Honestly, it’s a testament to Heupel that we are competing this late in the game. Give him some time. This cat is the real deal.

Even more so if he didn't waste plays and a series trying to force things we all know aren't going to work

 

[ACvol3]

This defense is worn out. The offense scored too quickly lol

It’s not on the offense, it’s on having zero depth

 

[GoVolunteers]

As usual, the opponents score and we start coach bashing. When you looking at our talent and depth… we are playing great this year. I love these players, these coaches… I am a happy vol fan right now.

 

[Switch 625]

UT needs to figure out third down!

 

[lilesrt]

Banks is not a SEC caliber linebacker

No… he isn’t coaching SEC caliber players. He’s way out coaching his talent level.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

This team will fight to the end. I think we score here, just gotta hope the defense has a little more in them.

Would be really nice to respond here

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

That trash Alabama quarterback announcing the game loves it.

Yep, he just about nutted there

 

[87&91ALUM]

Braves playing Dodgers and VOLS playing Bama...shooting fireballs

 

[Dergibvol]

I hope there was something missed there. You can't tell me a lb on the wrong with no safety help was the call with only rushing 4...

 

[Vfl2407]

Third and Chavis has returned. Sigh.

 

[Rylee_Vol18]

Our guys are still playing their asses off. If y'all can't tell a difference in the effort than y'all are damn blind

 

[volz2wallz]

Blitz him on 3rd down one time!!!!!!

 

[de1conley]

This is the most promise that has been at UT since Chaney with Bray and company. Tighten up the defense and UT is going to be hell on wheels

 

[JRich]

Beasley having a rough night.

 

[GetEmVols]

What? Our defense is tired man

Which proves his point. We need athletes.

 

[txvol19]

Guys, let’s take a moment to realize that we are upset about being in a close game with Alabama in Tuscaloosa as 28.5 underdogs. I’ll take it. Future is BRIGHT.

 

[AllVols]

You can hear the air escaping the D. Lets see if the O can help them out a bit. Keep fighting and don't go 3 and out.

 

[VolForLife83]

Depth showing up. They're gassed..

Been like that all night on 3rd downs

 

[66volfan]

BAMA will bring the pressure and game over

You can always hope

 

[TNVOLnTX]

Tim Banks is the worst 3rd down DC I’ve ever seen. In before our players suck

I'll offer Chavis and certainly Sunseri in argument to your statement.

 

[Peyton Berry]

That was another defensive bust by Tennessee to give up that 3rd and 15.
You’re welcome McElroy

 

[C-south]

I’m so tired of moral victories…needed a stop there to have a chance

Hope we don't run up the gut 3 times and punt

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

God running, decent blocking and slow linebackers for us.

 

[crazycornsnake]

Plenty of time left but we got to score here.

If we shoot right back that TD means nothing. But the drive can’t be shorter then 3-4 minutes, defense is dead right now.
