The Official #11 Tennessee vs. UTEP Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, SEC Network+

Pick 6. Let’s go.

Mike Matthews is a player. He deserves more snaps

Good to see him out there no doubt

 

[Baseball25]

Something has to be figured out in the offseason. Not possible for us to fix this crap this season. Heupel has some decisions to make. May have to rethink his scheme, as hes gotten his own players into the system the offense has gotten worse. Banks is the only reason we’re competitive this year

I'm on the Oklahoma board a lot. They all say the reason JH got let go was his offense had a struggle EVERY game no matter how weak the opponent was. They warned me they are seeing the same thing here at Tennessee.

I’m waiting for the sunshine pumpers and negavol detectors to tell us how good we are and how this team and staff … Blah blah blah. The proof is on the field. Getting schooled by UTEP right now. Unreal.

Wish we up more but saying we are getting schooled stupid when up 14-0.

Why are you waiting on that? Have you not been reading this thread?

 

[CaliVol2009]

What? Lol. He clearly stripped him.

His name is baseball, he probably doesn’t understand the rules, lmao. I swear to god, some of our fans love misery and want us to lose. It’s unreal.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Even within 5 yards?

You can't send a tight end out to pancake a corner to spring your guy at any time. Goal line plays would be automatic...... just let the tight ends pancake everyone and throw to your guy.

No. You can hit YOUR guy but the obvious pick plays are, supposedly, illegal though often not called.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

McCoy was a steal. Goodness

 

[Volanta]

Wow cutblocks galore

 

[jmacvols1]

indiana strength of schedule?

 

[buford]

put on more steam

 

[Vol1976]

Defensive coaches have always been able to figure out Heupel’s offense. It works b/c running tempo forces all 11 defensive players to also have it figured out. There is normally a player that gets confused which creates an opening. When Vols aren’t running tempo it gives the DCs time to get everyone on the same page with their assignments.

The question is why isn’t Nico running tempo.

Good question, but I will point out that our tempo got compromised by all the flopping earlier in the season. Don't know just how that affected us overall, but could have changed our offensive strategy. SEC commissioner should have laid out his fines earlier. And I'm looking at Arkansas in particular, as well as OK.

 

[Vol737]

Jermod McCoy is an upgrade at corner. He’s made that play many times this season. Knows how to reach in and knock it away.

 

[Lekvolrrah]

D looks to be setting in

 

[CaliVol2009]

We will be up 28-0 at half and some losers in here will complain it’s not 41-0 at half, smdh.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Tennessee is about to crank this up and I don’t wanna hear another negative word about it

 

[ETV]

Took UT a full quarter to shake off the mistakes and execution errors.

 

[utvolpj]

This punter is awful

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Glad the Vols decided to wake up. Another td before the half would be nice.

 

[Kicker82]

Games are starting to turn our way

 

[TheVolsFrog]

We got to score this possession
Needs to be at least 21-0 at the half, 24/28-0 would be even better
Got to have the style points and hope someone else falters to get that CFP ranking

 

[vol24/7/365]

To be fair. It was an early start especially for us. We have played at 7pm damn near every game. It's typical for football teams to look lethargic for a moment when they break routine.

True

 

[JCHateSteve]

Now let's get get 6 more.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Glad the Vols decided to wake up. Another td before the half would be nice.

There will be more than one

 

[FlVols]

Go offense!!
