The Official Tennessee vs. #5 Texas A&M Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN

[I4Vols]

I'm sorry, route and route running got to suck. I wish I could find the stats of passes 4-8 yards downfield between the hashes. It's like a dead zone for Chaney. I just never seem to see a RB or a Hyatt running from a linebacker (mismatch), or dragging over the middle. I did watch it today.....and against Florida. A big dose from the latter.

I think these are reasonable questions. Bailey misses Eric Gray not being on the field as a short receiver or outlet.

 

[MemphisVol77]

Are we the best 3-7 team in the country?

I'm asking for a friend......

 

[Boca Vol]

I've never seen a D take such bad angles as this one!

 

[djwes]

They’ve quit

 

[volmoon]

Well, here’s to another wasted football season.

 

[give_him 6]

They have been on the field for over 40 mins. Ideally, the offense actually gets some first downs At some point.

They've had their way with our fatties all day.

 

[Godfatha]

This is Jeremy Pruitt football for all you guys defending him

 

[Matt2496]

Whelp, D has given up now.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

18 rushing yards.
GBO!!

 

[bpalmer28]

Going to get uglier before it gets prettier

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

213-18 Rushing Yards.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Yeah, let’s let this guy hang around so we can see some more results like today. NO! You fire his arse today.

 

[tvolsfan]

Fire this clown

 

[patrick]

Interesting how some Tennessee fans characterize what we have seen on the field today, and this season, as PROGRESSION of the program, and/or closing the gap with Bama, Ga, and Fla. Perhaps, they mean that the team is progressing ever closer to the abyss, or closing gap with the abyss. Hmmmmm.

 

[Bryan1]

Time to turn this trash off!

 

[MiramarVol]

Yeah, they've mailed it in and given up. Tackling is abysmal.

 

[GVol1966]

Blaming Pruitt.

Yep because the receivers can’t get open, the line can’t block and the QB’s are behind in their development.
And yet plenty of morons on here just want to have a pissing contest of my QB choice is better than yours.

 

[I Love Lamp]

Crouch making that tackle downfield was a result of him getting shoved 20 yards down the field when the ball was snapped.

 

[RiverVol]

Our defense looks TIGHT!

 

[2GeeZ4VolZ]

Bright spots today:
-Our defense really gets intense on 3rd and short. We always give up the first down but those guys play hard until after the whistle on 3rd and short.
-Splitting our running back out wide. We didn’t run the play right but it was nice to see that.
-Pruitt’s poise on the sideline. You have to act like you’ve been there before. Glad we have a coach that is familiar with his level of success to the point where you can never tell if he’s winning or losing.

Just a few takeaways to help shed some sunshine on this nonsense.

By the way, this color font is known as midnight blue.

 

[1985Vols]

I've never seen a D take such bad angles as this one!

More proof of being poorly coached

 

[JMSqb11]

Is the bowl game confirmed?

 

[volfannbama]

Well the spread was 14 and as CJP always says, we are closing the gap

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Is the bowl game confirmed?

Let’s hope not.

 

[peerless98]

If this administration accepts a bowl bid it would be unfathomable that they would subject themselves to further embarrassment.

Should they just give up like most of the fans have?
