The Official #1 Tennessee @ #3 Georgia Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[Hacksaw]

First-half goes to UGA. Sometimes when a team comes out and plays with a lot of emotion and dominates in the first-half, they get emotionally exhausted and don't have enough in the tank to sustain it in the second-half. I still like our chances to move the ball and get some points. The game's not over yet.

 

[n_huffhines]

Hooker missed a TD throw and there was a lucky ass punt. That's the difference between this being an 18 pt game and a 4 pt game. We also shot ourselves in the foot with penalties. This isn't over.

 

[RAVOL]

Well if we're going to get back in it the D is going to help out and Hooker needs to get mad. I do think if the OL can buy him another couple seconds some good things can happen.

Big difference in game. Bennett is very comfortable in pocket. Easily the best O line we have played. In CHRIST Alone

 

[JBVolunteer]

I want to believe that our coaches will make the adjustments we need to get things moving in the second half. We are getting absolutely dominated in the trenches…

 

[orange_glory]

I think I just said that. Can you read.

You asked how this game affected recruiting. I just basically reinforced your answer. After you answered your own question. Can you read?

 

[Volinnooga]

Oh, ye of little faith. We're down by 18 points, three scores. Make the right halftime adjustments and we can do this.

wanna bet?

 

[Pride85]

This just sucks for recruiting

So... we aren't leading at the half and now no one will want to play on the VOLS? The coaches can use this to let the recruits know that they can be the piece that pushes us over the top. This will only be 1 loss at the worst. If we can make it a game in the second half, that message becomes stronger!

 

[first time caller]

Maybe we'll have a second half to remember and we'll print t-shirts that say "24-6"

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Just hoping our guys come out in 2nd half and show more strength of character than a multitude of our posters have. Touchdowns and onside kicks is a plan.

 

[camp_steveo]

It aint over so stop being a cry baby.

Now we get to see if the Vols are built for a comeback.

 

[VOLifornia]

24-6...
That felt like a 48-0 @$$ whooping of a first half.

Exactly how I feel. Which means it’s a good thing as it’s NOT that bad and we can rally!

 

[Andrew8210]

I so hope you are right!

My point is that it's too early to give up. Have some faith

 

[Vol423]

Tillman is not himself, UGA has a great game plan, playing well in all phases of the game, O-line killing us jumping around like 4 year-old girls at play. Hooker missed a great deep shot. Banks D is playing decent, missed Stetson in the backfield a few times, and a great high point catch in the end zone, just a great play by UGA player. At this point I just hope outcome is not embarrassing.

This game isn’t over, but Banks‘ defense is most definitely NOT playing decent. You have a VERY low bar.

 

[PalmettoStateVol]

Amazing how many people jump off the bandwagon so quickly.

Dude. There is a huge difference between bandwagon fans and realizing that these guys have had a great year so far, but Georgia is THE REAL ****ING DEAL..........we are getting dominated IN EVERY PHASE OF THE GAME.....

 

[zaqhhh]

If this were a close game at the end, I would agree with you. If we lose bad, and if Bama beats Georgia in SCG close then both of them are in. OSU vs Mich winner is locked in as well Clemson (weak conference). Looks like TCU might run the table

I agree a Bama win would make things extremely tough for us. But Clemson is far from a lock and TCU won’t be favored in 2/3 remaining regular season games plus the Big 12 championship game

 

[C-south]

No more penalties!

 

[ibvolman]

I don’t mind the thought of 11-1 with a NY6 bowl. I do mind getting embarrassed and not being the least bit competitive.

 

[Drewbydoo]

I’m not even worried about the playoffs. I just want us to come out and show some fight this second half. UGA is playing close to perfectly and we’re flat so can we make a game out of it despite how the first half went? If we can I’ll be pleased. If the second half is like the first I’ll certainly be disappointed.

Second half won't be like this.

 

[UTvols#1]

****ing never got off the bus ..This team looks dead and has all day

 

[LCVols]

We'll be fine in the long run

 

[vols40]

Losing sucks. But the worst thing that’s going to happen from this is that they look no where near like a playoff team. A hammering here, even at 11-1, we don’t sniff the playoffs.

You sir are 1000% correct. Thanks for perspective.

Everyone talking about the CFP before this game here were setting themselves up for huge disappointment. Coach Huepel and his approach is the only reason were in this position. To the ones who are ready to cash in on the season now then you do you. Remember the transfer portal two years ago? Did I miss Georgia going through that? I didn't think so. Now it's time to see what you are made of in the 2nd half.

Go Vols take the fight for 60 minutes

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

He also started with way less than Kirby. No way in hell Kirby does what heupel did all things considered.

We aren't 11-1 yet, TN still has SC and Missouri....cannot assume anything. If they lose big today, how do they respond next week?

 

[rocketskates]

They’ve taken Hyatt out of this game completely

 

[perico]

They don’t have more talent than bama

Maybe so, but they have it in the right places. Bama has the better QB, but they came into our game about like we did today while UGA is playing angry. We killed ourselves on penalties, not fielding that punt, and the ill-timed turnover. Our defense doesn’t have the talent or speed to be elite. Our DBs are just too slow.

 

[T Vols 21]

Makes me even more sick thinking Ga may win another championship. I don’t know what it is but I just can’t stand Georgia fans
