The Official Tennessee vs. Missouri Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[tumscalcium]

No, but he would have made a lot of these throws chryst is missing and not given them 7

JG wasn’t getting us a point.

 

[wmcovol]

Vols really took a huge step back today. This is a .500 SEC East team. And they are blowing you out of your stadium.

 

[amaralfan1]

And had 2 scoops of ice cream.

KEK!

 

[golfballs]

Barry Odom has done a pretty good job BTW. They’re a solid football team

 

[The Original Fade]

Doesn’t make any difference who came to play. Missouri is the far better team. It ain’t remotely close.

They’re not 26 points better

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Officials looked like flight control on the deck of an aircraft carrier.

 

[BearCat204]

Get rid of it

He didn’t have blind side blitzes to deal with lol. He had a couple of good throws, but o don’t see him giving us any more of a chance to win. JMO, I’m not an expert like some

 

[Chad F]

Who cares, ever coach that has come back on opposing sidelines to get “revenge” are all losers. Bottom line is at the height of their careers they failed misserably (lane, dooley, and butch alike) and they each had a hand in creating this dumpster fire... so yay! Congrats! Look at the **** you created then “beat”

Absolutely. It just sucks seeing them rewarded for their incompetence and failure with a win over us.

 

[UTK]

Vandy took Mizzou to the wire and will take the Vols to the woodshed next week....
Unfortunately


No Bowl game?

We ain’t beating Vandy so guess not unless we’re a “lucky” 5-7 team

[speed43]

One would think that in the 11th game of the year we would have learned how to tackle & how to take the right angle

 

[Vol737]

How is Mizzou 6-4? Clearly had some horrible luck. This is a good football team....and I still don’t like them and don’t think they should be in the SEC. But that’s just me...

 

[maotai]

Only losing by 26...deja vu...

 

[KBVol]

Chryst really had an opportunity to rewrite a narrative in this game, and he has not done it. Aside from a few passes that were only good because Calloway turned around and made amazing catches despite the throws, he's not been great at all. I hate giving up with a quarter of football left. But...we're getting beat like we stole something, and with Calloway and JG out, I just don't see many playmakers on that field aside from Jennings. Someone needs to step up. I'm just not sure the heart is there on this team to fight back.

I don’t question the team’s heart, just it’s ability. They don’t have nearly enough. We’ll see that again next week at Vandy.

 

[DeansRedHalo]

Tackling is as much a willpower and want-to thing as it is physical...look at some of the guys who pile up tackling stats, they don't always look like Ray Lewis

 

[NEVolFan]

They have a sound QB... a gamer. So it will be this game all over. So Pruitt needs to figure it out.

 

[njvols]

Defense is utterly pathetic.

Pruitt can scheme up pretty good on teams who lean pass or run...but he definitely struggles against balanced teams...all the teams we’ve been trucked by

 

[UTK]

This game is what happens when you face a senior quarterback with a bunch of freshmen as db’s. Doesn’t help that we’ve turned the ball over a few times.

The dbs ain’t the problem I promise you. Lol where is the SENIOR Dline?

 

[C-south]

He didn’t have blind side blitzes to deal with lol. He had a couple of good throws, but o don’t see him giving us any more of a chance to win. JMO, I’m not an expert like some

I fail to see how the defense does something totally different when Chryst comes in the game. Maybe they blitz JG because they know he’ll hold the ball all day.

 

[jwilliams]

He'd probably have given up more sacks though. KC has done a good job moving away from pressure. The bottom line is we weren't winning today with either quarterback.

I think folks ate misinterpreting what I said. I agree we are outclassed, but chryst does not have the accuracy of JG. We would have scored a few more points and not had the 10-14 point swing with JG. O-line clearly made some adjustments after the early sacks.

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

Lol still running it

 

[photovol]

We dont match up well with Missouri....it is what it is. We will look much better versus Vandy. We dont have the players on the back end to stop their passing game.

Vandy almost beat Mizzou

 

[Chad F]

Lock looks like Butt-Head from the old Beavis and Butt-Head show on MTV.

 

[bpalmer28]

Well so far Pruitt's defense can't defend these type of offenses.

They’ve “only” scored 36 and would only have 22 if not for the interception to end the half and the missed tackles on that big 3rd down.

I know that’s a lot of what ifs but it’s evidence that our problem isn’t the defensive scheme or game plan, it’s execution.

Send in your recommendations, coach.
