The Official Tennessee vs. South Carolina Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[House of Neyland]

Weren’t people saying the Carolina D was much better than Mizzou’s lol

 

[ETV]

I hate Pruitt so much.

Phil deserves some of that resentment also.

 

[LTVol]

Isn’t it amazing the difference a good coach can make ???

And a decent QB

 

[Flathead75]

A lot of what ifs, but our thin roster and upcoming games against the powers of the SEC will tell us how much we've improved.

I have a feeling the last two SEC opponents are worse teams than our non conference games. Defenses are horrible. GA & Bama will be reality of where we are....but this is sure fun!!!!

Classic comment from the 247 Sports Gamecocks forum.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Heupel got the IT factor.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

 

[m1al]

Hallelujah, Tennessee football is FUN to watch again...

 

[Creeker]

I’ve thought about it and we should of missed the PAT to end the quarter 27-0 for Al Wilson.

 

[VFL28]

Shamecocks doing what they do best, lose.

 

[mackievol]

By the way , it's 28-0. . Yes that's a zero

 

[JCHateSteve]

Somebody call an ambulance

I was high on Josh Heupel right at the time of his hire. If you can’t see the pure coaching up of players. The flat out X’s and O’s being schemed by him and his staff. What 61 left overs/portal guys/roughly 20 walk ins turned scholarship players? Have gotten better each week and playing better than any team we’ve had since Dobbs last season. This teams play is going to really open the eyes of recruits.

 

[knoxchief]

That is a very good possibility!

 

[JoAllan]

He gets some recruits, and this offense will beat the big dogs. Heck, we might give them a fight this year.

Agree…..might take a bit of time….like you say gain more depth and talent.

However this team looks as if they not have a good grasp on the system……vs “similar” talent level……..this system, team and coaches……are dominating.

hope they have the depth for Mississippi….we’ll see.

 

[2GeeZ4VolZ]

Hooker for Heisman!!!!

I actually just started thinking about his stats, it’s not unrealistic to think his numbers could have him in the conversation but how much will be attributed to the offense more than the player. It’s fun though, no matter.

 

[Vol Farmer]

From day 1.

From day 2

 

[rgvol]

I’m putting Ole Miss on notice…

 

[BJWeeks]

Problem is who will be QB next year. Hooker will be gone

 

[fossilfiction]

Weren’t people saying the Carolina D was much better than Mizzou’s lol

Oh they are. That's what makes this great. This is flawless execution.

A lot of what ifs, but our thin roster and upcoming games against the powers of the SEC will tell us how much we've improved.

Not even concerned about the bama’s and Georgia’s yet, walking the dogs on the bottom feeders tells me we’re improving!
GBO!!

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

LETS GO BRANDON

 

[nomads-11]

Anyone remember the last time we scored 4 TDs in the first quarter in back to back games against SEC opponents?

No, and I don't think I've seen a game where we never punted. And we haven't through 5 quarters.

 

[Gilb69]

I got to be dreaming. This is some of the best offense I've ever seen in my 41 years of being a Vol.

GO BIG DAMN ORANGE BABY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Been a Vols fan since 1964, NEVER seen anything like this!! GBO!

 

[UT_VOLS13]

On pace for 900yrds the announcers said.

 

[OrangeSquid]

... I’m completely sold on this dude.

This was from a Gamecocks forum:

How is Tennessee this far ahead of us already? Didn't they go 3-7 last year?​

They have an actual guy that knows how to call plays, they hired a guy with coaching experience

Looks like one of their fans agree! LOL
