The Official #21 Tennessee @ Kentucky Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Volbrando]

A corner just to turn around once would be asking for waaay too much.

Amen

 

[TNVOLnTX]

Why does banks always go back to this garbage zone defense.

My assumption is that we don't have cover corners that can stay with WRs. You'd probably just see a bunch of one on burns.

 

[djwes]

Unfortunately, I had a feeling Tennessee would drop this game with a Kentucky coming off the bye week.

Failing to convert touchdowns in the red zone and secondary looks bad.

Tennessee is making it easy for Kentucky’s defense because all we do is run the damn ball

 

[TheFlash1971]

WE SUCK big time. WTF

 

[Delmar]

Cornerbacks are back on their game again. But the D line is getting very little rush on Leary. When you get 10 seconds to throw, most QB’s will find a receiver. Got to get more pressure.

And the OLine has killed two drives in a row with penalties.

Is Boo Carter playing Offense or Defense for the

 

[aaronvol]

Boys...Banks is about to start dialing up blitzes. Everything will be ok. We have an idea of what they're doing now and their running game is nothing. We are about to run away with this game. Just watch.

 

[vols 30]

It's must be nice to have 3rd and long and be able to throw the football cause TN can not

UT doesn't even try

 

[Flipdaddy]

Secondary getting eaten like a ribeye. Jeez!!!

 

[JPL]

We’re dead. Freaking crap pass defense and we HAVE to stick with a qb that can’t throw the damn ball and we are going to get killed.

This offense is average with Joe and our pass defense is below average. 2 field goals is not going to win in the SEC on the road.

 

[BigALWiLson]

You’re right, Joe is playing like a Heisman contender. Someone is lying to themselves alright.

Didn't say he was. However I see a piss poor OL that can't make it 3 downs without a false start, wr's with drop problems, wr's not getting seperation and Joe has some accuracy issues as well. It's not 1 thing. It isn't just Joe. And if you think changing QBs will help you are blind

 

[whodeycin85]

Yall whining like a bunch of teenage girls....

 

[fossilfiction]

how would we know?

Historically ass. He is getting the golden treatment tonight.

 

[AllVol68]

This secondary has obviously learned to snap and clear. Wish they’d snap and learn instead.

 

[lifeisdeep]

Have we played against one qb this year that hasn't outplayed Joe?

The answer would be “no”.

 

[VOL RN]

One field goal should have been enough to beat this sorry ass Kentucky offense. **** Tim Banks.

Just felt like days ago people saying Tim Banks is a godsend.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It’s going to take 30+ to win tonight and I’m not confident we can do it.

 

[nomads-11]

Do you think we can pass like Kentucky.....like get 10 when you need 8 on a good out or back shoulder? Can we look competent? Anything?

 

[rocketskates]

Big drive here

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

It’s so obvious. We are the only team who consistently has defensive backs never looking to play the ball.

It's league wide. It's terrible but it's all over the league. Even in the NFL. The ones who set them apart are the ones who turn their head

 

[vols 30]

Boys...Banks is about to start dialing up blitzes. Everything will be ok. We have an idea of what they're doing now and their running game is nothing. We are about to run away with this game. Just watch.

He has been. They still can't get to him

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Our defense looks sluggish.

 

[acd4476]

Leary was 50% for 120 yards against Mizzou...

 

[saxvol]

Oh well this was always going to be a transitional year with a stop gap quarterback, Hope we can at least finish 7-5, I think out future is bright though.

 

[Other_Guy]

Death.
Taxes.
Tenn opposing trash qbs, despite no run support, turning into Tom brady.
