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

Are we in prevent defense in the redzone? Seems like it.

 

[imavolfan]

Obviously in the 2 minute drill the offense is looking to make completions at the sideline. Yet our defense allows them to be open along the sideline time and time again during this possession. Unbelievable.

 

[lilesrt]

Johnson is an undisciplined clown.

Yet he’s just about the only player we have who can get to the QB. Bennett got ousted for packing heat.

 

[Big Al Orange]

Hahahahahah what a cursed program:

Dum Azz penalty’s

 

[CA_Vol]

Most anti clutch team ever

They are their own worst enemies. Losers find amazing new ways to lose.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Am I the only one that notices opposing offensive coaches scheme to get matchups on Banks and Crouch? You would think our defensive gurus would be able to come up with something to help with this issue.
GBO!!

 

[Zues1]

Their Oline is what's winning this game

Yeah , and the right tackle is moving early

 

[drawing dead]

That was a really dumb penalty by Johnson. Clear as day dumb decision

Selfish

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Our lbs are not good

Yep Crouch and Banks are both bad, and Henry T has regressed big time from last season.

 

[PA Vol]

Their Oline is what's winning this game

Must be nice to have an OL coach and not just a college buddy.

 

[Creeker]

Crouch cannot freaking cover. Get him off the field.

Dude should of stayed at Running Back. He’s been completely underwhelming as a linebacker.

 

[OrangeWave2]

In the 2nd quarter?

TXAM scores here they go up by 11pts. If they score on the opening drive of 3Q then they're up 18pts.

 

[1985Vols]

That was a really dumb penalty by Johnson. Clear as day dumb decision

Game killer type of mistake. Again, I blame all these stupid mistakes on poor coaching. Completely undisciplined

 

[Flipdaddy]

Can we not cover the RB out of the backfield????

 

[JPL]

Johnson is an undisciplined clown.

He’s killing us this first 1/2. Two very critical penalties by him. Amazing how one player can ruin it for the team. Overall, we’ve played well.

 

[Volinnooga]

Johnson has really made some dumb plays this year. This team is undisciplined

 

[Memphisvol87]

Poor Crouch is so slow and lost in pass defense

He needs to be a power running back

 

[volmoon]

Deondre Johnson makes way too many dumb penalties. Not just this game.

 

[Badman1776]

A&M scheming ……… chess vs checkers right now…… no in game adjustments.

 

[BSAvol]

Scoring on this defense is way too easy. Other SEC teams must really look forward to games against Pruitt. Nobody, in their right mind, can defend this coach any longer.

 

[GatormanTX]

How? It was literally textbook definition of the penalty.

No, it isn’t. A ref has the ability to make a judgement if a player is inadvertently making contact. The defensive player is putting his hands up with an offensive player blocking him from behind.

 

[chef3531]

Gonna be 31-13 before TN gets the ball again

 

[Bryan1]

Our lbs are not good

To' To' not having a very good game.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Why is Spiller wide open on every play?

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Defense is just bad all around....and not too smart either.
