"They couldn't really stop the run, so we just kept our foot on their throat and just ran it down their throat," Marshall said.

UT football was crippled during the Dooley occupation both in talent and mindset.
The loss to Auburn was expected do the disparity in talent level, but the way we lost is what as a vol fan burns to the core.
Sadly Marshall was correct in his analysis. Defense wins championships and we have little depth in this area. Coach Jones is doing what it takes to bring in the necessary talent.
Either way this quote is a slap in the face to the defense and hopefully will motivate them appropriately for vandy.

I stand corrected. Sorry for the oversight.
However the way he blasted our defense,especially on his 60+ yard gash and as few passing attempts they had he may as well have been a RB.
I think the message still stands.
Our defense played well for a half then the strength of their running game wore us down and the deficiency was exposed.
This recruiting cycle is critical and jones thankfully is getting it done.
However painful it is now, I believe we are on the rise.

Actually they were dominating our front 7 from the get go.
Only reason we looked decent was because they came out passing before they realized the obvious.
Weak in the trenches, doesn't win in the SEC.

I watched on TV and got a chuckle when the announcers said the ball boys were faster than our defense.

Marshall is their QB. And how was that insulting? The insult occurred earlier with the team that UT put out on the field. Marshall was just recapping the game... very accurately.

I'm afraid you are correct.

He was just stating a fact. They need to man up and stop someone. I understand we lack speed but we should have just stacked the box and made them throw. I blame the defensive coaches on that. I mean when you throw only seven times we knew what was coming

...11 slow dudes with no arms running around yesterday! Hate the product on display but I'm optimistic of our future. No way to go but up! Go Vols!!

There was no insult in Marshall's comment but they did show mercy by intentionally trying NOT to score on their last drive and hang 62 on us. That's the most telling and shameful thing in all this. Our D is really THAT bad.
