The Official Tennessee vs. Arkansas Game Thread, 7:00pm ET, ESPN2

[Zues1]

I cringe eveytime its third a long. It's like Chavis is sending Jancek the play

 

[LLcoolDave]

No excuses.

LOL...if UT drops this game the excuses will come. Jones already has laid the ground work for it in a pre game interview..."We have an inordinate number of young players...first time they've seen this type of offense" Every week that he has control over this program is another week it is treading water. He has to do something with this staff, the team is not progressing in any area

 

[CJ2K]

Team and coaches are damn pathetic. Arkansas is going to win, no question.

 

[orange_glory]

I'm so excited to watch Tennessee and Virginia Tech play in an epic ****fest pillow fight next year!

Yeah that game may not break the attendance record at this rate

 

[EastTN]

We're losing to this team along with Bama Georgia Kentucky and Mizzou. Book it

 

[vol445]

Nathan Peterman and Pitt beat the Tech Turkeys today. Nathan. Peterman. Congress, relieve me.

Riley that you

 

[GameTime]

Our defense looks like their playing on skates

 

[vol4eva]

This is not a well coached football team.

 

[GLDunlap]

At least Belima is showing Butch how to run a 2 minute offense, instead of F$&ing kneeling on it like a scared little Bit%#h.

He is soooo scared to take chances it's sad.

Arkansas ran on 3rd and long but it worked.

 

[FLSTF-VOL]

They get the ball to start the second half.

 

[utvolkyle06]

Most folks thought this would be a close game. So here we are. It will be their Big O line wearing our defense down versus our speed wearing their defense down. Time of Possession will be critical.

 

[volgrad500]

I think we still win this game. We may need to have our guys just return kicks for scores to Butch can't @#$# it up, but I think the team overcomes his dumb *** and gets it done. There at home and this is a must win.

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

Two things:
1. Our O can do anything in the running game and hey want to do. It's clear that Butch is responding to our criticism about not throwing it enough but still won't go deep.

2. Our D needs a lot of coaching on tackling. There is no reason this game isn't a shutout right not. We have been in position to make sure tackles that would snuff out these drives. We just freeze and they juke us.

 

[OLW1948]

If UT doesn't pull this one out, look out Butch. You are not going to have much fan support moving forward.

Butch, nor any of the other coaches, have fumbled, missed a field goal, or missed a tackle.

 

[casetopia]

Gators rolling the Rebs. UF better than many here give them credit for

yup. and a lot of people here talking about the genius of Hugh Freeze

 

[BoColoco]

That fumble on the 10 was a killer

This - young players playing like young players.

 

[jimallvol]

Butch never tried to score on the last possession of the half, but our opponents always do. You can't run out the clock with 3:30. Just dumb

Watching how we look in this game is pathetic! It looks like we're getting worse, game by game! Another wasted position right before the half. It really does look like a Dooley coached team!

 

[VolFootballlover]

it means he has a 10 million dollar buyout...you guys need to stfu about Butch being fired its not going to happen

you stfu and watch your Hero embarrass our University!

 

[MFL]

Lot of empty seats...not good sign

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Watching this team doesn't help my ulcer.

 

[chattavol420]

Gators rolling the Rebs. UF better than many here give them credit for

It's not that we lost...it's how we lost

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Calm down, guys. I have it on good authority that Butch is relentlessly studying the charts as we speak.

 

[CAVPUT]

How did we not block that?. A guy came free up the middle.

Afraid of getting hit by the ball? UT just doesn't make plays like that. Bama comes thru and blocks a kick and scores. UT can't get out of its own damned way. This is a .500 team at best.

 

[vol1994]

Different week, same old story. This staff seems to be incapable of game planning. Ridiculous......

 

[Fijivol72]

This tie started when we decided to run three straight times with 3:22 to go to give Arkansas the ball back. This is becoming a consistent theme and one that reflects directly on the coaches. I am beginning to think the coaches are really lost. Debord is an anchor around the teams neck and Butch has no life line. Damn I m so frustrated. I just don't see that killer look in anyone's eye.
