Rodriguez has really good vision, is quicker than he looks, and is a load to bring down.

Vols are just better.

Yea we shut down a good back. Should be celebrated!

Fire him you fools...DO IT!

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Anyway he did all that on purpose knowing how Stoops is?

My pettiness hopes that is exactly why he did it,

We are gonna beat UGA. I just feel it. This team is still getting disrespected with being an 11 point underdog in Athens. A lot of people still don't respect this team. Every game we win...is still not enough.

Disrespected by who? Vegas? Bc Vols might just be #1 when CFP rankings debut this week.

Florida game felt good, LSU game was great, Alabama game was AMAZING, but so far the Kentucky game has been the most satisfying. Maybe because of how great the defense played or maybe because of how delusional Kentucky fans and media were about it being a trap game or upset alert.

Levis was 59.3% 98 yards 0 TDs 3 INTs and we sacked him 4 times a QBR of 16.4. The worst performance of his career

Just imagine if we played real football!

Hendon Hooker made an amazing play in the first quarter last night that only resulted in a yard or two but prevented a likely pick six. He was about to throw the ball to a wide receiver that was behind or just at the line of scrimmage and had another receiver slightly in front of him ready to block. The defender recognized the play and jumped the route to be in the flight path of the ball. Hendon recognized it and pump faked instead of throwing the pass, tucked the ball and ran for two yards.

His ability to quickly process, see the defense and make the decision not to throw the ball within a split second of turning his head toward the intended receiver and starting his throwing motion was phenomenal. That is a perfect example of why he is a better quarterback than Levis and should be drafted higher despite Levis having a stronger arm and weighing more (being tough). Your quarterback being smart is more important than being able to throw a football over a mountain. I also prefer my QB to be quick/fast, elusive and know when to slide or go out of bounds so he doesn't get hurt when he decides to run.

All of the reasons given for Levis being a higher draft pick just highlight why he should not be a high draft pick. Strong arm....it. causes Levis to make stupid, risky throws that get intercepted because he is too cocky. Also impacts his accuracy and ability to throw a catchable ball. Hendon's arm is strong enough to make any throw but he he has much better accuracy and touch and doesn't try to force risky throws. He throws a more accurate deep ball and a more catchable ball for his WRs. He has much better vision and ability to read defenders. He is a more effective runner who doesn't take as many hard shots and he is slippery in the pocket while continuing to look downfield for a big play and gets positive yards if a throw isn't there.

Any GM that takes Levis over Hooker in the draft is a fool that deserves to tank their franchise for years. Hendon is a guy you build a team/future around and Levis is a guy you take in the mid rounds as a "maybe he can be turned into something" or if you need a good backup. Bryce Young is the only QB in the upcoming draft that should be rated higher than Hooker.

The power of narrative. Some idiot GM will take him.
I think that’s what makes Heupel and co. So good…they trust their own decisions versus “prevailing wisdom”.

You need to wear your Tennessee gear everywhere you go this week, lol. Visit every KY fan friend you might have, lol.

There are actually a lot of Tennessee fans in this area of Kentucky...I have 12 co-workers and 7 of them are Vols, plus the owner of my company is a Vol.

Think he means the overall fan/visitor experience. UT has emphasized building an unparalleled in-venue and gameday experience, and really, they've done a fabulous job. UT fans have done an exceptional job, too. They've made Neyland fun for fans and very tough for opponents.

To this point - many of us have speculated over the last few years if we would see stadium attendance decline precipitously as in-home television viewing experiences surged in enjoyability. (Not just UT, but really in all sports venues).

And here is Tennessee, putting a product on the field that is exciting to watch, and a live-game-stadium-experience that really has to be witnessed in person to appreciate how flawlessly scripted it is at all levels.

This will get maximum butts in seats for a long time to come, when everyone who attends a game raves about how awesome it was, and how people watching it on TV think, “man, I wish I was THERE.”

I think we are really countering recent trends, and that is amazing.

 

[Smokey123]

If this is the defense that shows up next week we win by 2 scores

 

[BigOrange15]

Im still cracking up about Levis gesturing wildly and walking back on the field like that INT was going to get overturned. Dude is the fakest, and frankly I think people have started to see it. What a dork.

 

[Ten_Titans]

I watched Stoops lose his mind a couple of times tonight. It made me realize I really love watching opposing coaches lose their minds. I just laughed and laughed. Good times.

Stoops gonna watch the film today and realize he got played on that play with Bru faking an ankle injury.

After getting fake injuried by OM last year, the coaches have put on a masterclass on fake injuries at times this year.

I guess is if you want something taken out of the game, be part of the problem lol

 

[vol81]

Still undefeated. And tied for first.
Up next. Grilled Dawgs.

 

[BearCat204]

Kentucky fans are having the weirdest flex right now......"I know yall kicked our teeth in, but if you dont win a natty this year, yall suck"

That was such a pathetic move by him haha

 

[Adam2014]

Has anyone been talking about how if we beat Georgia we would have beaten the last three national champions in the same season? There's no way that's ever been done before.

Wow, I did not even think about this. Good catch.

 

[drvenner]

Apparently the rest of the team was celebrating on the field, this guy has been injured and was heading to the locker room early

IF that is the case, every damned one of those Sparty dudes need an ass-whippin' and a suspension. Classless.

Kentucky fans are just the weirdest. Never have won a damn thing, but run their mouths like they are bammer.

My brother was texting me pics from inside the stadium last night. The amount of jealousy I felt cannot be overstated. I’m finding a way to make it to a game or two next year!

Yeah, my son doesn’t give a spit about football or sports. He had a blast while we were there. Was cheering with the other fans, dancing to the PA songs, clapping for big plays, loved the fireworks.

Big difference from the games I went to under Dooley, Butch, & Pruitt. That was against UT-Martin too. I bet the SEC games are an even better experience!

Stoops is the best that poverty program will ever get.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Those things move as fast as the Tennessee offense.

Yes! . . and they were in limp mode in that video. . . probably as slow as they could go without falling out of the sky.

He encapsulates that entire fanbase.

The thing is you knew how eaten up he was about last year and how he’d circled this one and then he got smacked in the mouth.
