The Official Tennessee vs. UTEP Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[Kicker82]

If tenneseee wins 4 games this year, Pruitt deserves a statue to be put up of him by the stadium

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Depends, is he going to coach better than that last 2:00?

Ahhh yes, here we go with coaching excuse.

We’ve got a bunch of players who aren’t SEC Caliber.

I’m sure Pruitt would rather have his own guys to work with instead of a bunch of Butch rejects.

 

[orangerush]

Candy may be the only SEC team we beat if the OL (read:Richmond) don’t pull their head out of their asses.

Hate to burst your bubble, we ain't beating candy with this, aight

 

[GVol1966]

Richmond is the only guy having consistent issues right now. You sound ridiculous.

What did I miss?? Someone sounding ridiculous on Vol Nation, No Way!

 

[VOLinAL]

We probably wont score vs Bama and UGA. May not score more than 10 against the rest of the SEC.

 

[midtnvol2]

Can't wait to get most of these Botch guys out. The freshman have more want to than most of the team.

 

[1985Vols]

Blocking looks better, but penalties and turnovers are killing us! Defensive line looking better. Go Vols!

PS Getting to see the game from the Skybox for the first time!

You do realize we are playing the worst team in FBS and are only up 10-0 at halftime? Not a lot of positives so far.

Dude, again, why did he play the backup like that? That's pure coaching.

 

[VolNExile]

Any chance of a weather delay?

Light rain in Asheville. It could happen!

 

[greazy1722]

my nephew should have caught that that Chryst threw plain and simple..

 

[MaTaLa]

I hope the idiot who made this schedule for 2018 is no longer with the school. I don’t care if we have trouble competing but ETSU UTEP Charlotte is pure bullcrap. I hate watching us play bottom feeder programs.

Wouldn't look a gifted horse in the mouth

You should really change your username. Lol

It was probably made by someone who thought butch would still be coach and that we needed all the help we could get to make a bowl game.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Hey Butch, good to see you too.

Lulz. How you doing man? Last I remember you were going through a tough time personally, things heading in a better direction?

Good. Been hunting some land that hugs golf courses to put the new house.

I hope all is well with you and your family.

Literally every P5 school schedules the same way.

When your Qb is hot you don't pull him on a 2 min drill let jg get the practice. JP needs to throw the ball around 2nd half give JG some confidence going into Florida.

 

[hutchtrappedinohio]

Is there any of my vol family that’s feelin disappointmented in Pruitt? Other than him playing tough guy in the sideline?

 

[Volfan2012]

They haven't committed any turnovers almost everything they have in rushing so the defense in only rushing four or five and covering the receivers.

 

[keckjm]

They need to hurry.
Also, pretty sure he was recruited to be an OT. I remember some talk about him anchoring LT before we got Smith.

What I’m saying is, he’s not an OT prospect no matter what he was recruited for. Yes, you are right he was recruited as a LT, but he’s not a LT...or a RT.

Drew has awful footwork for a 5 Star LT prospect. He’s just slow. He also had to deal with Mahoney for 4 years who’s a joker of a coach.

Unfortunately, it appears Pruitt has already lost the team, just 2.5 games into his head coaching career. Micromanaging and manhandling players is not what a head coach should be doing. He acts like an assistant. Flame away, but he is not head coach material.

 

[orangerush]

Vols expected to make an appearance in the second half

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

I think we win second half 28-6

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Waiting for a little while longer to judge

Excellent. We won the first half 10-0
