The Official Tennessee vs. Charlotte Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, SEC Network (Alt.)

The battle for last begins boys and girls! Mizzou, Vandy, and UT are all 1-4 and all play each other these next few weeks.

Mizzu curb stomping FL

Gonna take a hell of a spreadsheet for that one... Excel might have a plug-in that gets you there.

I’m using solver but it’s telling me no solution available??

 

[DVols33]

Two drives down 28 are the highlight of his career. That tells you why he isn't playing.

Then try another QB but JG hasn't the skill set to play QB.
In a game like this one a coach see's his QB take a shot like the one that put him out of the Bama game
he puts in another QB for at least a series.

 

[zeppelin128]

we thought we were good enough to put on a helmet and have it handed to us, we aren't, we have to strain every play, every series, every quarter, every game

This. Our margin for error is razor thin.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

He did but one of the coaches said they made adjustments, obviously before the half.

Well that’s what you do as a team. I would hope you don’t just keep running the same thing in the 1st and 2nd quarter just because it’s what you wanted to do lol. Still doesn’t make a difference. KC won’t ever start even though I think he gives us with this offensive line a better chance to win.

 

[coach31]

I’m thankful Charlotte had a penalty on the punt a play before the punt return for a touchdown.

Book it... Solver knows.

Moral victory?

ummm, no, just a win, barely

 

[joevol33]

We beat Aub. We can get two wins for sure.

I've not gambled since I bet on the bills, because I stink at it. I'd take your money on a bet with this. Absolutely no chance we win another game. I hate that, but it's not happening.

 

[FïreBall]

No, we actually won. It's just a victory.

Yeah.. I should have used blue font ☺

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

We beat Aub. We can get two wins for sure.

I've been saying it for weeks, we got about a 50/50 shot at beating Vandy, maybe, but the other two games are real uphill climbs. Missouri is currently beating the hell out of Florida in the Swamp.

 

[hUTch2002]

He has 3 tds in limited time. JG has 8. He has about a 30 point better qb rating and 2 yards more per completion. Why not give him a chance because JG is most definitely not the answer or gonna do great things at UT?

I can understand where you’re coming from and I wouldn’t be upset if coach decided to try Chryst. It appears we have a couple mediocre QBs and they have decided to stick with the guy that will be here next year. I’m really curious to see Shrout myself.

 

[UTK]

Why hasn't KC played?

Because he’s abysmal in practice apparently. And JG hasn’t done anything to be benched.

 

[cwbytruckers]

How in the name of the football Gods did we win at Auburn?

 

[lifeVol]

Pruitt just say JG doing a good job. Unbelievable. I'll predict now that Pruitt is gone 2 years from now.

Playing a high school caliber team and you don't give your backup QB any play time while you starting QB
gets the snot knocked out of him and only leads the offense to 1 "ONE" "a single" "Uno" touchdown drive.

That's coaching denial and that with the banks move to and from defense shows that Pruitt is not a head coach.
At least not yet and I don't see fans giving him 8 years to develop into one.

IMO, it wasn't QB play that caused the OL to look like a HS team, the backup QB is always the most popular guy in the stadium

 

[I4Vols]

14 -3 over the a great Charlotte team. Victories are assured over KY, Mizzo and Vandy (NOT).

Maybe it was the Chalotte Panthers

 

[Volfan2012]

Just glad we won don't need to analyze it. Same thing that has been wrong all season was what is wrong today. Today however the OL deserves an F- they were even worse than usual. The recruiting pitch should be if you play OL Tennessee is the place to be we have five spots that should be open to competition next season there are some freshmen were recruiting one that has committed that could probably take the jobs next season.

 

[firestorm]

It is glorious and excellent to see the Tigers steamrolling the Hapless frustrated Gators that stink more than manure, skunks, vinegar, onions, and burnt popcorn.
What goes around comes around the Gators experiencing a awful harrowing defeat that makes them wish it would end quickly except won't.

 

[Freak]

If the two quarterbacks are even close, there's no reason to play Chryst and risk JG transferring. We're gonna need him next year.

If trying to win I’d like to see Chryst at least get a chance but throwing Shrout in the fire here and there would be good too.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

This is the last win until next year......enjoy now. Next year another 4-8 season will come around.
Not much future for Tenn football.

Maybe we'd fill more seats if the more popular QB was playing.

I’m trying to come up with some sunshine pumping comments, but I can’t.

 

[hUTch2002]

I’d be stunned if we made a change at this point. From what we’ve seen with this coaching staf the only reason we made adjustments is because we were down 28. We did the same thing against all of the best teams we played. Once we got down big we changed the offense and had success. The question is did we have success because we opened up or because the other team backed off? Some of that success was with JG and some with KC so I don’t think it was the QB.

 

[Freak]

Nobody cares about filling seats. Once KC played a couple games everyone would be yammering for the third string guy. Just the way it is.
