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

[Ten_Titans]

Punt on first down.

 

[Rockytoptalker]

Whoo let's PUNT FOR NO REASON WHOOOOO JEREMY PRUITT FELLAS!!!

I’ll never understand punting in situations like this. If you’re most likely going to get destroyed why not try and make a few plays? It’s crazy

 

[1985Vols]

Wow...we got a turnover....just go ahead and send the D back out

Or just start punting on first down

 

[Volsfaninva917]

At this point I'm convinced Pruitt is saying FU to the fan base

 

[99gator]

They talk about "fire" this guy or that guy all the time.

But, there's no excuse for this playcalling and someone should be roasted for this.

You're down 25! The worst thing he can do is throw a pick 6. And down 25, I think you can go ahead and take that risk now.

Geez.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

What's Chaney supposed to do with JG?

Then take him out. And if JG is the best QB we got, then holy lord.

 

[tnvols72]

Can we send Cade back to uga?

blaming cade? you lost your mind

 

[Mccage]

but dam Cheny!

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

That’s the dumbest playcall ever.

Gotta play field position

 

[Cartervol]

You can't beat anyone wasting downs like this.

 

[jonnon111]

3 running plays after a turnover then punt. I'm officially over it. Put HB in, anybody can hand the fn ball off.

 

[wmcovol]

So Pruitt won just enough to get a extension so he can now get fired and go back to Bama paid for by UT . His plan all along lol
its the only explanation

Fulmer gets fired before Pruitt. No need to let him hire another coach.

 

[Vol4Life2289]

I’d rather have JG throw a long pass and get intercepted than run it on 3rd and 7! We had no shot on that play, at all.

 

[lifeVol]

Playing like we in the lead

Or, trying to keep it "close" ?

 

[DOCTORLOOMIS]

I CAN NOT BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY PUNTED THERE. WAIT.....of course I can.

 

[Blackburn]

If we don't trust our Senior QB to throw the ball on third down why don't we put someone else in the game?!?!

 

[EODVOL]

Defensive coordinators love playing TN. They literally do not have to prep or scheme to stop our explosive offense. Life is good when you can phone it in smh.

 

[90 Vol]

Three straight runs. Tell me this is trying to win this game.

He’s trying to keep JG from screw-in up so he can start him the next game.

 

[ButchAintOne]

what's the difference in throwing the ball 3 times or running up the middle 3 times.

 

[golfballs]

I’ve been officially converted. I didn’t think we’d win, but we’re not even playing to win. **** this. Find us a coach who wants to win.

 

[Matt2496]

25 points down, 3 and 7 and run. I don’t know what to say anymore.

That tells me the coaches have given up pn the players.

Just unreal.

 

[vavolfan6]

Don’t boo us boo hoo!!

They should boo non stop the rest of the game.....pathetic

 

[VOLED]

Run it 3 straight times after the TO. Playing not to lose.

 

[Play4keeps]

Run the ball on 3rd against an Alabama defense with a less than 27% conversion rate. Give me a break.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Pruitt can't get it done. He's in over his head here.
