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

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Thats culture for eveyone that spews culture all time. U have major issues if you cant play 4 quarters. This really proves we may have same record or tad better next year. We have such a long way to go

We still have depth issues and a woeful secondary. Purdue is not a pushover either and they are adapting to the pace as well as any team against us this year:

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

How many games this year did we have a great first quarter then fall asleep in the second? Several if my memory is correct.

 

[usagary]

I Don’t understand throwing 40 yards downfield on 3 rd and short

Yep. Nothing wrong with getting 5 yards there. Just dump it for a short gain and a 1st down.

 

[Other_Guy]

Penalties are ridiculous today. Our secondary looks worse than vandy

Giving up passing yards was to be expected. The fact Purdue has similar rushing success and Hooker is off and they're making dumb penalties is unacceptable.

 

[I Love Lamp]

Honestly can’t remember. Have we won a game where we were down at half?

 

[VolRage]

Thanks Captain Obvious!

jk… but even Stevie Wonder could see that

Son, do have an alias.
Yes, yes I do. They call me Captain Obvious.

Maybe a cup of Joe?

 

[irish1485]

Do you see what I'm talking about now?

He wasn't playing anything like he was at Georgia when I posted those stats... but if this makes you fell better have at it

 

[rocketskates]

Why did we stop throwing to Tillman? Dude looked like he was gonna beat Purdue single-handedly

 

[dduncan4163]

Hooker just needs to settle down plus our OLine ain't doing him any favors

 

[southgatevol]

Yes, I agree. Hooker played a bad half. Even his TD passes were off. But our defense is like Swiss cheese. We gave up 347 yards of offense, and if their QB was more accurate, they would be up by two scores.

I wonder what the score would be if ours was more accurate?

 

[B_dub]

Okay, the Harbaugh story of having his pants on fire and having no clue was actually pretty funny.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I might have to drink a couple boilermakers if this keeps up.

Not a bad idea.

 

[Volfan2012]

Another horrid second quarter. Hooker can look great and terrible.

 

[BleedOrange81]

We gotta recruit more playmakers on defense

Better get in the portal pronto..

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

i guess their D coor was right.. but also we worst 2nd q team in world.... bad part is we arent much better 3rd or 4th q

 

[volmoon]

Neat??? You can screenshot stats… very proud of you.

Point I was making is that he’s thrown some uncharacteristic balls to nowhere land with receivers OPEN … Sitting in the stadium he doesn’t seem to be seeing the field as he was early in the game….

Childish criticism. Stats are clear.

 

[jbr82]

At least win or lose this we will still finish with a winning record.

win

 

[volmoon]

I wonder what the score would be if ours was more accurate?

Tied

 

[sjt18]

Worst game Hooker has played at UT. He's missing wide open TD's.

 

[Carl Pickens]

We'd have 42 points right now if Hooker could hit the open man.

True, but going deep on 3rd and 3 was bad football …

 

[molsen81]

Hooker had Favr-itis

 

[orange_glory]

TN gonna have to learn how to play when the pace slows down, when other team flops, and when refs start throwing flags, to not lose focus.

 

[tbones0711]

Hope Heupel kicks something in the locker room

Hooker's azz is a good starting point but now Purdue gonna bring pressure. A chess match where you gotta guess ahead. Then again it won't hurt me one bit to see Brohm wake Heupel up. Not taking the maxims seriously and I'd done pulled Hooker for Milton 'cause Hooker made severe misses on at least 4 occasions. Dude ain't on ......pull him. JMHO.

 

[Carl Pickens]

People who want Milton instead of Hooker … must be smoking the ganja weed…..

And sniffing glue
