The Official #11/#9 Tennessee @ Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Boston Vol]

Amazes me how we couldn’t improve at all on secondary this season

Well we really didn’t add anyone of consequence. Hopefully you weren’t expecting Martinez to actually coach his unit up.

 

[Caz]

Please don’t insult ETSU

It's not just Hadden. All our DBs are ETSU level bad

 

[volbound1700]

Clearly Austin Peay has a better defense than Florida…

Just using your logic..

At this rate, we may give up over 30 to Florida. Granted, I think our offense could match them in scoring but we will see. Florida's defense hasn't impressed either but the difference is we keep calling stupid screen plays and they do not.

 

[Sarms58]

Just win the next play.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Yeah martinez has to go asap I’ve been saying it for years he’s awful

 

[12 Monkeys]

I’m just wondering why corner wasn’t more of a priority to recruit in the off-season.

this passing thing is a fad….

 

[DaddyChad]

Either let him throw it or get him out of there. Cant do those sideline passes all game.That play call was from the OC that was scared to call a pass down field

Yep. Bubble screen gives you almost no chance to get a first. Terrible play call there

 

[mpfvol]

FYI they are not going to call holding on UF tonight is what it is beat them anyway no since crying about it

 

[Score50]

Here we go again, everyone saying we are held. We just suck on defense. I guess Hadden was held when he kissed their running back instead of tackling him.

 

[08Vol]

Embarrassing defense... 3rd downs all day long. Gotta love the zone on 3rd defense

They think Mertz can’t pass when we drop 7 or 8. Clearly he can.

 

[Vol_guy]

At the rate we ate going, we are only going to get 8 possessions.

 

[Volswin98]

I don't get it, no matter how much better we should be, Florida does this to us.

Yep! I have been going through this for 35 years. I have heard several times that this is a different regime with different players- still the same crap!

 

[acd4476]

Better fix this defense. On pace to give up 600 yards

 

[joevols89]

Pathetic. QB couldn't cut it in Wisconsin. He was awful

Gotta respect his ability to extend plays and run a bit. Haven’t so far and he’s hurting us.

 

[RockyTop140]

I’m just wondering why corner wasn’t more of a priority to recruit in the off-season.

We picked up jeudy lally (probably butchered his name) and have 3 pretty high ranked freshman dbs. I’m hoping one of them will push out some of these guys.

 

[bpalmer28]

Florida is 4/5 on 3rd downs....someone needs to step up and make a play

The line ref needs to do his job as well. Holding on every one

 

[jasonvol18]

New clock rules are doing that

And that 8 minute 1st drive by Fla. We gotta get off the field on 3rd down. They are killing us on 3rd. And this$hitty secondary can't tackle or get in the right position.

 

[guido4198]

We look slow

Florida is behind but they act like they got this. Our guys look like they’re struggling

 

[HighRockvol]

Was hoping to kick there teeth in for once not a grind it out game

 

[tnmarktx]

Florida offensive line doing a pretty good job right now. Gonna be a close game. Hope we pull it out.

 

[CoachClick]

Martinez for prez.

Fn joke

 

[RockyTop140]

Is slaughter injured? Haven’t seen him yet

 

[TN1111]

Florida is 4/5 on 3rd downs....someone needs to step up and make a play

Same garbage every year under Banks. Great on 1st and 2nd. Clueless on 3rd.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Three quarters to play. Florida playing better than expected except kicking. We have scored but, gotta play better and get some holding calls.

 

[Remy]

UGA and Bama both put that sleeve in their run game and we have yet to stop it. Now the gators are doing it.
