The Official Tennessee vs. #2 Alabama Game Thread, 3:30 ET, CBS

[ETV]

Decent first half by JG. The 2nd half is gonna be interesting..

Depends on if Chaney is willing to open it up and put his eggs all in one basket with JG @ QB.

 

[Volnbeers]

not really sure why we're expected to give JG any sort of praise for anything short of a victory over bama.

dude spent that equity a looooong time ago.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

JG is playing Missouri USCjr well and thats the best we are going to get from him. Can turn south in a hurry. He can prove himself this week and totally blow it against ark next week.

Hope we don't give up on the youngins.

 

[k-town_king]

May be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen posted. You don’t think having manning at QB, would open up this offense?

Was Manning going to keep us from allowing 11/11 to start the game or 400 yards in the first half?

He didn't open it up against UF when he was here. Nebraska either.

Manning didn't win when we were out talented like this game.

No matter the qb if the rest of the team is outclassed you don't win.

 

[Hacksaw]

Always hate to see any player get hurt, but I literally snort-laughed when the announcers said Bama was really going to miss Waddle.

 

[whodeycin85]

5/10, 76 yards, 1 TD against one of the worst defenses in the country and people say he is playing well? GTFO!

I mean 2 drives out of 6 were scoring drives...the others were 3 3 and outs a 4 and out....so....idk. bama will adjust like UGA and we will see what happens
..maybe JG throws for 300 in the 2nd half

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Guarantano has done just enough to hamstring them from getting another QB into the game.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Right. If you're gonna put him out there then let him throw. Literally nothing to lose. Or put someone else out there if you're just playing it safe!

 

[OldandStillaVol]

This game isn't on JG. But the score will get worse after halftime. I still think they should get another QB in the game and let him throw the ball.

 

[utvolsfan131]

Saban ripped his off last week to have a tantrum and nothing happened

SEC fined itself

 

[malibuvol]

That is a scary thought. I mean quite frankly if we are going to suck on defense what exactly does Pruitt actually bring to the table as a coach?

I'm beginning to wonder...

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I wouldn't because I know that Chaney is trying to limit the inevitable JG implosion!

Then it was stupid to put JG out there in the first place because we can't keep up with this offense.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

If we score first drive in 2nd half we have a chance to keep game respectable.

28-17 sounds good. Bad news is Alabama keeps 1st team offense against our inept defense on the field longer.

Lol right........

A Manning could sure open up the offense...Arch Manning!

What part of one of the worst passing defenses in the country do you not understand?

 

[Sarms58]

5/10, 76 yards, 1 TD against one of the worst defenses in the country and people say he is playing well? GTFO!

Did the lobotomy hurt?

 

[RAVOL]

O Line played a good half. We just need more speed on outside that is not a freshman. But hopefully as the year goes the young speed guys will continue to get better.

 

[Volnbeers]

lol at saban throwing shade on waddle

 

[C-south]

lol bet JG never wins a Super Bowl. I bet JG is never drafted.

 

[FLVOL_79]

He should not play. Give the other QBs some reps.

Hes gonna either hit his td ceiling or implode spectacularly

 

[CAVPUT]

Perspective of a volunteer fan trapped in the JG twilight zone. We've all seen the flip side of this coin.

 

[Lane Train 4]

Pruitt call not Chaney.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

going for nachos

 

[VolInNW]

He's lead us to one TD in the last 22 possessions. He is in no way playing well.

But....but....his GHIUP ratio is almost 4.3. But. But.
