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

[volfan102455]

Give me an example of a recent national championship winning team getting drubbed in a regular season game….. I’m waiting

Not in the regular season but Bama drubbed UGA in the SEC Championship game last year 41-24 and then went on to win the NC.
And before you say that is not the same thing - these games that pit the top teams are just like that.

 

[Pride85]

And Hype can adjust and hit the running back rolling out of the backfield. We just had to just them to protect on passing downs and they had our signals down due to crowd noise.

It’ll be Tennessee and Georgia in the championship game at a neutral site.

He didn't have time. A lot of the pressure was up the middle and the back was trying to help there.

 

[Volholic]

The playoff committee will screw us somehow

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Ga has o roster full of 5 stars. They’ve been loading up for years. Defensive backfield has got to be upgraded.

Yes they do, another class or two and they will be competitive in games like this. If it was at Neyland, I feel we would have been much more competitive

 

[Pride85]

Hooker held the ball too long. Shouldn’t have had 6 sacks.

I agree. He normally makes quick reads, but the whole atmosphere had him completely rattled. He will bounce back and be back to his old self for the next three games.

 

[Vol737]

Hooker held the ball too long. Shouldn’t have had 6 sacks.

Was it only six? Gracious, seemed like 20. Love the guy, but I said before and during the game he couldn’t hold the ball more than a three count, but he sure did. Heupel will get that fixed.

 

[Vanhalo]

The LSU/Bama game is what everyone thought the TN/GA game was going to be like.

 

[Vawlranger88]

We were never good enough to be ranked #1. It was an illusion and at least a year too soon. Not a chance in hell we make the CFP with this loss. Anyone that thinks differently is delusional. Be mad, incredulous, etc, and so on but it won't change a thing.

But your not a Vol fan according to some!!!

No your the dumb one. If you can’t see that we were never supposed to be here and yet we have had our best season in twenty years I don’t know what’s wrong with you. And guess what we can still make the playoffs. Because I don’t know if your dumbass watches football other than to cry about Tennessee, but Clemson and bama are losing. And guess what little one, if they lose and tcu loses we get in the 4th spot. But nah go cry into your pillow and tuck your tail because we lost to the best team in the country

This.

 

[BJSforVols]

There were SEVERAL times their DB’s were easily beat. The blitz killed us because it got Hooker in a frenzy and he wasn’t seeing those open shots a lot of the time.

Not really. The DBs from uga shut down Hyatt, Tillman, and the rest of our receivers tonight.

 

[Jeff Clark]

11-1 Tennessee will be heading to New Orleans to play 12-0 TCU in my opinion. You might be well served to go ahead and reserve your rooms. I think a 12-0 TCU team will be ignored by the Playoff voters like an 11-1 Tennessee team will.

 

[VOLtaism]

We lost our house money, now finish the season strong.

 

[Orange931]

Not really. The DBs from uga shut down Hyatt, Tillman, and the rest of our receivers tonight.

No they didn’t. Hooker overthrew Hyatt in the 1st quarter for a sure TD. There were several other times our WR’s had a step on their DB’s as well. Hell he overthrew Fant as well late in the game running down the sideline.

Not if bama and Clemson lose. Also one of Michigan and Ohio State will lose. So I think if we win out the top 4 will be:
1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. What ever team
4. Tennessee
And honestly I could see us being number 3

If Alabama loses to LSU, I could see Sankey sending Bammer to Sugar Bowl. Or LSU

 

[BJSforVols]

I agree. He normally makes quick reads, but the whole atmosphere had him completely rattled. He will bounce back and be back to his old self for the next three games.

I think it was more of not seeing the receivers covered as good as they were tonight than the atmosphere. I think Hooker is used t having his receivers wide open by several steps due to really good receivers and schemes that cause busted coverages. He didn't see that tonight, because the defense was not having busted coverages, and their secondary was as good as our receivers.

 

[volfan102455]

So a what if, because it is on my mind watching LSU and Bama - what if LSU wins and in the SEC championship game and then beats UGA - does a 2 loss LSU team become one of the four? Or does the committee take a 1 loss SEC team over them, which may be the team they beat? Or does the committee for the first time ever not select an SEC team?

And this is a possibility right now.

 

[Jeff Clark]

If Alabama loses to LSU, I could see Sankey sending Bammer to Sugar Bowl

11-1 Tennessee might go to Dallas to the Cotton Bowl to play 11-1 Liberty or 11-2 Oregon then.

 

[Vawlranger88]

What the crap are you taking about? Are you even aUT fan? I have never seen anyone try this hard to prove their team isn't any good. What is your problem?

My problem is we (Vols fans) are in this situation because we set ourselves up…. We got beat bad tonight but yet we still think we are the best team in the country and think we will win it all in the end….check into reality bro… 11-1 is great but ask coach hype and he isn’t living with a moral victory tonight like some of you

 

[PhillyRealtor]

I agree fully with this. Whatever happens just need Georgia to win the SEC championship game

 

[ftsandersvol]

Not how any of this works. We weren’t 0/3 on deep balls because “we just didn’t want it enough”. It’s just coaching speak nonsense.

We lost because we have less talent and needed something close to a perfect game to have a chance

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

They won, we lost. I'm playing the role of the mythical "good sport."

Like I said, you clearly haven’t read that douches posts. You’re nothing other than bending a knee to a massive tool Which makes you a tool.

 

[FLSTF-VOL]

I guess that means Bama and LSU must be horrid right?
Go ahead and troll somewhere else.

LOL troll? Try again.

If you had told me before the season began that we'd be in the Sugar Bowl this season, I'd probably told you; yea, I wish.
