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

[JustinVol]

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

Yesss, well no

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

I still believe the players threw that game.

Two of 'em for sure

What?

Announcers said win no. 25 for Georgia and people took it to mean over FL instead of over multiple seasons.

I feel very comfortable with the result of this game if we go out and score every drive of the second half. Believe that!

Were you comfy with all those fg last week in Tuscaloosa?

 

[dobre_shunka]

Pretty even stats

Somebody has to bring it up.

Tennessee with 2.5 times the penalty yards, UK with only 2 false starts.

And an offensive holding call cost us a first down inside the 20 but UK doing the exact same thing doesn't draw a flag.

 

[BJSforVols]

Defensive backs and linebackers need to start covering for more than 2 seconds

It’s a D-Line issue tonight. Coverage is covering long enough but KY’s O-Line is manhandling our D-Line.

 

[ENGRVOL]

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

Wish they would have let him return that last kickoff that didn’t make it to the endzone

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

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

They are consulting Jobu as we speak

Beware the upcoming phantom invalid fair catch signal to open half two.

We're not getting to Leary. If he's allowed to just sit back there and abuse our secondary, Heupel is just going to have to roll the dice and open the offense up....all of it. Can't be a good feeling knowing you're gonna do that with true freshmen at WR and Milton at QB. Kind of like giving a new 16 year old driver the keys to a Lamborghini.

So much positive energy in this thread tonight.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

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

SEC refs are bad. That's what I'm saying but they're equally bad. I'm not one to blame refs and they've called this one about as well as I expect.

The Bama game was very very poorly officiated mainly in Bama's favor. The other games this year have been about what you get from the SEC......not good refs but reasonably fair.

 

[vol94]

Yeah, Hyatt and Tillman got separation on most people.

Great point. I understand that he didn’t want KY to get the ball back before the half. So if they is the case, then he didn’t have faith in Joe and the offense. There was a minute and half (or so) with three timeouts. Plus the chains stop in first downs.

 

[Vawlranger88]

I don’t remember so much complaining about refs when we were good last year and winning?? I’m guessing they over hauled the referee staff nationwide and evidently according to you guys they hired all of our rivals fans as refs as a conspiracy to take down the big orange

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

I think it’s just going to get worst, honestly. Heuf is in their radar now.

Banks needs to send some guys on a blitz. We’re playing straight four man rush. Not even trying to take Leary down from what I’ve seen.

You're wrong, sorry

 

[vol94]

I think everyone is surprised that our D can’t stop Ky passing game. Plus, there is concern that TN can’t score on every possession which may be needed unless the D steps up.

So much positive energy in this thread tonight.

You'd think we were losing.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Would love to see a few more completions in the end zone. A few Kentucky turnovers. And no more scores on our secondary. Just win Vols!

 

[EastTNVol6240]

As of late we definitely top the list of crybabies. I’m pretty sure we’re blaming the refs for war in Gaza at this point. It’s sad.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Someone who's seeing the game please let us know what defensive adjustments KY has made.

you must have missed the Bama game

They were ****ing terrible last year, too. We just had enough to get over it.

Last week scares.
