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

[Obsessed]

Yes it is!

I'll probably take a vacation day Monday.

 

[KBVol]

If anybody wants to watch a real SEC football team play, switch over to ESPN.

 

[brandonco05]

I hear it every single game. Sick of hearing it. Until I see some classified SEC document instructing all officials to NEVER, EVER call a single, solitary holding penalty against Barnett for the remainder of his career at UT, i ain't buying it. He needs to live up to the hype and play better.

So..........was he being held or not?

 

[Hallo97]

Are they looking to redshirt Croom? Not sure what his status is.

 

[landscapingvol]

Yes this! Why never the middle??? So frustrating!

Have you watched Dobbs throw all year? A pass in the middle of the defense is about as brilliant as just giving them the ball

 

[Gramps]

And Butch is too stubborn and proud to let Dormady get out there. I don't give a Frick about redshirt's and saving for next year. We need a win.

He has already played and blowed his redshirt.

 

[omghulkhands]

He has never recovered from the injury that was infamously reported as season ending.

It was basically season ending so whoever reported it was closer to right than wrong

 

[YankeeVol]

Is we can start getting a few downfield passing game going, probably. Our passing game is beyond pathetic. It is difficult to be one dimensional and win in the SEC. Just hope we can

It's impossible to be one dimensional in the SEC

 

[dbowen]

Here are some half time adjustments:
Malone catch the ball
Williams secure the ball
Weathered if you don't see their face mask don't block them
Secondary take better angles, don't lose containment and wrap up
Pass rushers- it helps to tackle the QB
Medley you have to make those kicks
We should be up by at least 17.
This half will speak volumes about the character of this team

 

[Other_Guy]

You just can't expect our dline to get sacks when it is like that. I'm sorry to suggest this but change the game by bringing in some more officials specifically to watch. According in to what i have seen the game would be 17-7 TN if holding was called.

And if UT does what they're supposed to it would be 27-7...

 

[orange_glory]

We've got 275 yards of offense. Unless Dormady can tackle, he can't help us right now.

Never know unless we try.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

The obvious problem is Yankee starting the game threads. We ain't done **** since he has started them

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

And Butch is too stubborn and proud to let Dormady get out there. I don't give a Frick about redshirt's and saving for next year. We need a win.

Iv not seen an open receiver down field yet. If we did throw it down field, would we even try to catch it?

 

[jimallvol]

Butch is showing that he can't coach at this level. Especially after we hire a OC that's been out of coaching for awhile.

 

[GoVols15]

Well boys and girls, we know know our football program still sucks. Basketball anyone?

 

[restlesswes]

Dobbs threw for 146. Dobbs was not the issue, at all.

Come on man

 

[butchna]

Sutton goes in what round in the draft? I say second for sure. What a boss

He's better than the Connecticut kid that Dallas took in the first...and Morris Claiborne. After the combine and film review, he goes in the first.

 

[508mikey]

It's obvious that there's gonna have to be some coaching changes come end of season.Mainly Debord, Mahoney, Azzani, Jancek and Martinez. God please Butch pull the trigger for your sake!

If not then Hart and Cheek need to go

 

[VolFootballlover]

and everything that we do wrong and everything the other team does well is Butch's fault in some of your eyes!

You mean Butch is not our CEO ?

 

[Kurtastrophe]

Well Duech , since your doing situps in the cucumber patch and we all know your mouth didn't get round eating potato chips ..please explain?

 

[Nuclear_Orange]

We had this problem too when I played defense in High School Football. I overheard officials discussing we are going to make it easier on this team.

 

[KBVol]

So..........was he being held or not?

No.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Well Duech , since your doing situps in the cucumber patch and we all know your mouth didn't get round eating potato chips ..please explain?

translated from its native idiot, this reads:

"I can't argue because I have the mental capacity of a piece of cheese, so I'm gonna make gay jokes. That'll show him!!!!"

I reiterate, your screen name is bull****.

 

[CountVolcula]

Just remember, this Arky team got beat at home by Toledo

 

[1974Vol]

You watch these guys play and you can see they have talent but they always are a play short. Vols have lived in the Red Zone and have 10 offensive points. Half Arkansas yards have come on 4-5 plays and they've cashed in everytime they've had the chance. The Vols left potentially 21 points on the field.
