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

yeah, we did that in the first half last week.

And we never scored again in the second half, remember?

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

yeah you're getting the ball back after the half..no need in forcing it, bad snap, tip at the line, int.
The big issue was playing slow the last 2 mins

Agree that I didn't like the earlier calls in the series but that's what we've gotten from Heupel this year.

Some of these runs on third down are not the call I'd make OR not the read play I'd offer up.

 

[87&91ALUM]

I hope no one expects Nico to be the second coming of Hooker next year. And I hope we get more depth on the lines and D secondary. They were shredding us end of second quarter.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Not happy with our Defense. Offense doing OK.

 

[JustinVol]

You know he isn’t ready how? Let me guess - because our coach who judged Milton better than Hooker two years ago said so?

What has Milton done this half to get it taken

 

[RabunRaven]

When the time comes, next year or this year, I hope Nico isn't a bust. I would fear several posters on here would jump off a bridge.

They might land on Harrison Bailey ...

 

[Voljayton]

I wonder how that last series would have gone with Golesh. Interesting thought.

When Kentucky comes out with adjustments in the 2nd half I hope we do too.

 

[LAVol1]

I didn’t know that lol. That was classic

It's also grossly inaccurate!

 

[jmacvols1]

KY does have a good o-line.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

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

First, who cares what other people think. Second, you need to look at other boards we are far from the worst complaining about refs.

 

[JMSqb11]

I agree with the Fg before half there. Kentucky clock operator was skimming seconds after first down stoppages and I don’t trust Joe to be quick and not hold the ball with 7-8 seconds left on clock.

 

[JustinVol]

It's also grossly inaccurate!

Let’s not fact check this (kidding)

 

[VOLFan65]

NGL, Joe made some darned nice throws on that drive

Yeah, Joe is playing solid.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

And we never scored again in the second half, remember?

...that's kinda what I was hinting at. I think we are in violent agreement here

 

[Vawlranger88]

After the BS in the Bama game and the overall trash I've seen today in other games, the SEC refs suck but they suck both ways. They just aren't good.

That's given. It's like complaining about the rain at this point. The refs are bad every week. Move on.

Do you think all the refs sat down during the off season and said we are gonna be against Tennessee no matter who they play?? It’s starting to be a common theme every game, Tennessee is not a disciplined team plain and simple, stop blaming the refs for every dang poor play we run

 

[BigOrangeD]

Need to man up on D and remind those guys that they are allowed to look back for the ball.

 

[Manning4ever]

Vegas had this game at 3.5/4 points and a very low over under. I hope that they lose their asses.

 

[vavolfan6]

The offense is clicking and outside of our redzone woes I don't see much changing this next half. We are dominating on the ground.

Just gotta make an adjudtment in our pass defense. Leary is having a career day against us so far. Need to bring the pressure. Eventually he has to slow down, right?

 

[EaglesVols91]

I hope no one expects Nico to be the second coming of Hooker next year. And I hope we get more depth on the lines and D secondary. They were shredding us end of second quarter.

He doesn’t have to be Hooker, just better than Milton

 

[KeyVol14]

Has anyone seen Banks make any adjustments at half after a bad showing in the first 2 quarters since he's got here?

 

[foolonthehill]

I still believe the players threw that game.

Agreed. They wanted doofus gone.

 

[BruisedOrange]

wasting all that time at the beginning of that drive is stupid. should have had more time and still have 2 timeouts in coaches pocket.

Only if you're sure that we will get the first down. (And from that sideline catch replay, we didn't.) The coaches played it smart. Had to bleed off some clock just in case we got another holding penalty and had to turn it over to KY with time on the clock--which would have given them a shot at the lead going into halftime.

 

[MountainDooley]

And this guy is being paid 9 mil a year to be this stupid.

He was running clock because it was 3rd and long and didn’t want to kick it back to KY with 3 timeouts and a minute left. He can’t assume that we would convert. Also if we did covert, we still had all 3 timeouts.

 

[Zues1]

Dee Williams to the house to open the second half...

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Defense please don’t suck this half. I beg you. Please stop sucking.
