The Official Tennessee vs. Purdue Music City Bowl Game Thread, 3:00 PM ET, ESPN

This is 100% on Hooker. They've called plays that's had wide open receivers running down the field and he's not come close to hitting any of them. We should have at least 40 points if he wasn't off by 20 yards on every pass.

 

[BreatheUT]

The worst of this team is showing up. It doesn't help that we appear to have a decimated secondary as well.

I've turned the television for halftime. It's a shame.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

So silly. Best coach that we had in years.

It’s one year. Nobody knows if he’s the guy or not. Lots of folks were impressed with butch early too.

 

[vol.E]

It’s a team game

It is…but from the stands … Hook isn’t reading the field well at all today. Some of those “off” throws have been incredible head-scratchers.

Like where in the f*** was he looking ???

 

[lexkyvol]

I wanted us to hire Jeff Brohm in 2017 he’s a hell of a coach

i did as well, but im cool with heupel for sure

 

[RAVOL]

Our lines are getting dominated by theirs. That’s the story of the game honestly.

Yes it is not even close that half. Better check there Man Card in Lockroom. In CHRIST Alone

 

[volmoon]

Yea no ****.

Read the original post again. That was the point,

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

300 yards allowed passing in one half but yeah Tim banks is great

Hard to blame him when that cupboard was empty.

 

[MAD]

Can someone ban this troll please?

@sunnyvol79 is not a troll.

 

[volpreacher]

R-E-L-A-X.... Tennessee will win this by at least 2 scores. We’ve seen it all year2nd qtr let down.

 

[djohnnyg]

Less excited about Hooker now. He looks worse than JG.

 

[vols 30]

Throw Milton in for one series just to give Hendon a little incentive.

Why the heck would you do that? Milton doesn't need to see the field

 

[Raebo]

I am glad we got all that extra practice. It really shows.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

i need to be to after that quarter

If I didn’t have to work tomorrow, this is the point where I’d probably start.
GBO!!

 

[Go47]

When did you last check the score?!?

Check again.

Outscored (and totally outplayed) again in second quarter 16-0.

 

[Zues1]

So here's a question, why didn't Purdue go for two there?

 

[I Love Lamp]

Honestly the way I see it so far and it pains me to say because I am a big Hendon fan…..their QB is executing….ours is not. Both secondaries stink out loud.

 

[sunnyvol79]

Who was favored in this game

 

[rocketskates]

Is he the head coach of this team? When did the head coach stop being responsible for the product on the field?

The players are not executing. The first couple of drives they did. The play calling has been good.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Lol at everyone freaking out..... we will get it together or lose... I don't think they came to lose. Yes some things are off, they can all be corrected. Even if they have to change qb's. Tbh that may need to happen at least for a series. And yes Heupel is a good coach for whatever dumbass posted that.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

I thought they played two halves. Is the game over?

Sure does feel like it

 

[sunnyvol79]

@sunnyvol79 is not a troll.

Thank you. No I’m indeed not

 

[dduncan4163]

Purdue could have put us away in that second Q but D stepped up when they had too. We can still win this

 

[TexasVolDaddy]

In typical Tennessee fashion, they get the fans all excited and they get unbelievable support just to rip our damn hearts out again. unbelievable, it’s like we are cursed

 

[RDU VOL#14]

We’ll be ok. Time to start bringing 5-6 guys almost all the time and then we need to run the damn ball.
