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

[TNHopeful505]

Score here and then get the ball at the 3rd quarter and score again. Kentucky fights. Much respect to Stoops. He definitely has done more with that program than I ever thought possible.

 

[AllVol68]

There’s a reason why Martinez isn’t in high demand.

 

[NOLAPhil]

Heupel needs to throw the refs under the bus after this one

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

With these refs maybe

Even without them

 

[90 Vol]

What is up with the no calls on these holds? I’ve seen baron held multiple times and Burrell just got held bad too. Whenever I look for it it ruins watching the game for me.

That’s why the pass rush isn’t getting home. I’m getting freaking tired of watching us have to beat another team and corrupt officials.

 

[Volfan76]

Has rushing only 3 lineman on 3rd down ever worked in the history of Tennessee football?

 

[JHuntVols]

Kentucky’s offensive line has held up perfect outside of two plays against the pass. This is very concerning… Devin Leary is looking like a Heisman contender with the time he’s getting to pick apart Tim Banks addiction to zone.

 

[rjl4tnvols]

Holding on every play, but I don't understand why banks is setting back and not bringing pressure. When we bring pressure or defense is so much better, when we don't we SUCK

 

[nlovu]

I guess every other comment is going to be about the officials.

 

[Vawlranger88]

We are gonna become a mockery blaming the refs for everything, I’m sick of it, every play that don’t go our way we start on the refs…. College game day could do a whole segment on our “fans” blaming the refs for our woes

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

we are going to be really really bad next year. Losing a lot off of a team that’s already average at best

Maybe it's good some of this inconsistency is gone. Any DB that's good can come here and play early

 

[DrTNT]

Have we blitzed at all?

Yes, but they can hold and not get called for it just like Bama, so….

 

[HighRockvol]

Heupel needs to throw the refs under the bus after this one

He won’t say anything to scared

 

[Al Davis]

Go back every year they've been here
Outside a few games our defense has sucked on 3rd down when it matters most.

Banks no. Martinez yes. Got. To. Turn. Our. Heads. DB’s.

 

[GoVols64]

I was taught the hands and eyes thing myself in high school up until senior year. Coaching change. And I remember being like "wow, wtf was the other guy thinking?" And that was back in 2005.

You can coach, and should, the WRs to wait until the last second to bring hands up. That and a persons reaction time equals what we are seeing. Not playing the ball is advantage to a quality WR every time. We have to get better. Unfortunately, we aren’t seeing that under current secondary coaching.

 

[Spawn]

FG's is two red zone trips will come back to hurt us

 

[ChrisOnRockyTop]

Let’s blame everything on holding. Why do we do that every friggin week.

Because most in here don't see the big picture and who is really the problem.

It starts at the top.

 

[teeball]

6-6 at best

I don't think so. Next year we should get our offense back. You know the one, the one where we employ the forward pass once again. Next year will be better.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Rodney Garner is having a bad day. D-Line looks bad tonight.

Garner is not calling the shots on defense.

 

[Manning4ever]

Even without them

No reason we lose this game, what is Heupel doing

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

We are gonna become a mockery blaming the refs for everything, I’m sick of it, every play that don’t go our way we start on the refs…. College game day could do a whole segment on our “fans” blaming the refs for our woes

Are you freaking blind?

 

[posivol]

lets get it back before the half

 

[midtnvol2]

Huepels teams on the road is becoming a concern. Not calling holds is pretty big too

Both are valid. Something is going on. Baron is very animated at the refs a few plays ago. Sucks that you have to fight this BS.

 

[AllVol68]

Joe needs to rip a fastball nutshot on the umpire.

He’s not that accurate.

 

[jaxvol]

I think the over/under for commercials is 200.
