The Official #17/15 Tennessee vs. #11 Alabama Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

Just calling it how I see it. Yeah Kentucky is more on our talent level. May squeeze one out there. I give it a 50/50 shot..

I get it losing sucks but we will blow them out.

And I'm finally on letting Nico start from here on out. Not because I think Milton played poorly today, I actually think he played pretty good but you can tell playcalling is limited and there are to many lulls during the game.

 

[tbh]

I know damn well none of you actually think Kentucky is good lol

They aren't. But if the Vols team that emerged from the locker room after the half today shows up against the Mildcats, there is a strong chance for a big fat L in Lexington.

The CB slipped on the Bond bomb. The safety should never let the receiver get behind on that play. That TD is
on Tank, he didn't make the play.

We need upgrade in the back end. However we are still playing much better this year.

 

[JRich]

Do you”

They are good at the RB and defensive front seven, no other positions.

 

[Tenacjim]

Did Kamal Harris ever come back in the game?

No. And ironically that seems to be when the defense started “sh!tting the bed”.

While I don't believe Milton is all world, what we saw today was more about going away from attack mode into conservative play calling. They should have kept their damn foot on the gas both offensively and defensively.

Red zone is where it gets obvious. We're going to struggle all year when the field gets tight. Got to make quick decisions, he does not do that..Can't playcall around it. He has to either tuck the ball and run or were going to kick field goals. I have no confidence He can throw into tight coverage to his second or third read. Never going to get that out of him.

Good article on the officiating. MSN

That’s not an article. Zach is a vol fan and might as well be posting in the game thread.

 

[Chickenfarmer]

That is a good and true article.

Can I smoke half a cigar?

Ok, I know the answer.

 

[tbh]

LOL

First thread in Football forum is "you can't blame Heupel" .... next one is "you cant blame Milton."

May as well merge the two threads...at the very least, it would be entertaining.

Let's smoke something

76.6% chance of winning at halftime LOL

Great first half and start of second half but, officials made about ten calls or no calls and swung the game for Bama. It happens over and over again against Tennessee. Did we make bad mistakes? Yes. When officials take away Tennessee’s rhythm, just SMH. Same thing in every sport. I hope Tennessee puts a film together and send photos to the SEC and NCAA. Probably won’t matter but, I’d like to see that video and still photos. What was the final number of penalties for each team? I’ll move on but, hard not to be a cynic after that game. Go Vols…

 

[dillyo51]

That was embarrassing. You play lights out in first half then decide not to come out after the half

Bama punched UT in the mouth to begin the third and we failed to answer the bell.

One damn penalty for 5 yards on Bama the WHOLE game just infuriates the hell outta me. I keep telling myself I’m gonna step away from college and pro sports for a while, but I continue to let them takes years off my life lol.

They sure did when they choke hold Baron on that TD pass

What about Dan Wolken ?

It makes no sense that people want to keep this Bama every year tradition because you know they will always get the friendly whistle especially at home where one of the most penalized teams in the SEC got hardly no penalties tonight. Sanki made sure Bama did not get that 2nd loss tonight. We were the last test for them until the championship game.

Hardly no penalties?

They had one penalty for 5 yards for a blatant infraction on the center. That's it.

Saved them a down and possible fumble too lol.

 

[VolinMichigan]

Banks not blitzing and basically playing zone and when he did call blitz and get pressure on Milroe he was a mess. Heup should have punted and said before he went for it

Milroe was escaping pressure in the second half. Deny all you want, they played a better second half than TN. You can’t count on the refs to make calls on the road. Maybe it was always going to be like this but I saw Milroe hitting guys that didn’t have a defender within 5 yards in the second half.

Heup’s gonna have to say something and not hold back. The refs are killing us and he just stands there and watches it happen.

We should try to stop playing Georgia and Florida too. That way we can be the new TCU of 2022 every year.

All I know is I'm so effing sick of bama I could throw something at the tv. Nick Saban makes me want to puke. I despise him, his fake folksy gosh gee crap and his stupid commercials. The way all the commentators gush over every damned thing he says and does. Everything. All of it.
