The Official Tennessee vs. East Tennessee State Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, SEC Network

Offense not on the same page. Defense is at least against this team don't know if that means improvement or weak offense.

Abernathy gets beat in man coverage every freaking time.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Losing a center is like losing a QB on the OL. Not excusing the poor performance, but it's not as simple as next man up unless you're two or three deep at OL.

If we were playing a team like UMASS, Nevada, or UAB, then your post would be valid. This is a ETSU team that struggled with Mars Hill for awhile. UTs third string OL should be able to dominate against ETSU.

 

[BigOrangeD]

OLine = Hot Garbage

 

[rocketskates]

I thought we were already playing without any linemen.

Lol true

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Looking at the K-Town weather map & it's nothing but SUNSHINE & BLUE SKIES.....refs are idiots!!

 

[CountVolcula]

We are going to come out of the locker room a brand new team

[Currently on the phone with bagmen]

 

[ALLVOL1997]

is what it is. we are simply a trash team.

Pretty much. I've finally come to grips with it. I still love my Vols,and hope my kids can play for them one day. Go Vols!

[Woodlawn VOL]

These storms are weakening and moving away, that cell to our southwest is well away from Knoxville. Let's GBO!!!!

 

[k-town_king]

I'min West Knoxville and I don't see shiZ. I have no idea why we are in a delay.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

stupid Ole Miss game is on now

I switched over to the SC UGA game

 

[Alex10]

You just proved my point and your little kindergarten tantrum really proved it. A real fan is not going to constantly bash the team they claim to love all the time. Yeah they aren't great but put the blame where it belongs

Where does the blame belong?

 

[CountVolcula]

The guy telling me ETSU's D-line is the Steel Curtain has set me off.

It's the 85 Bears damnit

 

[BigOrangeD]

Is Butch still coaching our OLine?

 

[rjd970]

I’m so irritated right now.

This entire program, and everything associated with it, has been a full blown joke for a decade. Literally the laughing stock of college football.

 

[nomads-11]

Yes, we've all heard that the coaches have been moving OLinemen around for cross training, etc. I understand the logic, but not the results. Maybe it's time to can that S***. It ain't working. Pick your 5 linemen, and a two deep and live with it. Let em work together. Exactly how much worse can that be?

 

[MSrivervol]

I think I could dial up an offensive TD if I was getting paid Helton's salary.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

For real. If ol is crap, improvise Helton!!! Get those fast guys in space or something. I didn’t think we could get any worse than last year, but 3 wins is a real probability

 

[AlvinYork]

These delays are making football unwatchable. most of the time it doesn't even rain

 

[doctorchoice]

is what it is. we are simply a trash team.

I don't think this is fair yet. We simply don't block anyone. We will suck until we start doing that.

 

[Volfan2012]

The offense just looks a little starry eyed not certain of what is going on. I mean if your supposed to block a guy do you totally whiff. To many ETSU guys running free without even a blocker in sight. JG certainly improved but he still has no clue on defensive disguise. The whole bunch is missing assignments and not able to check into the right play depending on the defensive alignment.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

These weather delays are getting ridiculous. Lightening EIGHT miles away? We're all going to die!!!!!!!!

They're ruining the game

 

[Pruitt Will Do It]

It's the 85 Bears damnit

The ETSU Doomsday Defense

 

[butler5]

Please, HELP US PRUITT !!! I'm Losing My 14 year old Son to other teams ..... ut he is holding in , but performances like this dont help

 

[tumscalcium]

Fake news. There is a cell in Knox county right now.
