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

[JPL]

So much positive energy in this thread tonight.

Very positive! Go VOLS!!! Just win!

 

[VolDave53]

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.

Finally, the voice of reason emerges.

 

[90 Vol]

Out of morbid curiosity, I wonder how many times the opposing offense has been called for holding our guys this year?

 

[37620VOL]

Joe might get sacked.

If your first read ain't there, you throw it off the goal post

 

[vol94]

You're wrong, sorry

I think our D is too soft in coverage. I understand the concept of zone but you are playing against the bottom three passing games in the SEC. If you get beat on one play, live with it and move on. But bringing pressure and press coverage will lead to sacks and turnovers.

 

[LadyinOrange]

It depresses me that we still have to play Georgia.

 

[Boomer78]

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.

I’ve noticed quite a few blitzes, just getting picked up

 

[BigOrangeD]

Gotta get 7 this first drive. No F Ups Oline.

 

[mpfvol]

Out of morbid curiosity, I wonder how many times the opposing offense has been called for holding our guys this year?

Like 2 times

 

[BJSforVols]

You're wrong, sorry

How many sacks does our D-Line have? How many hurries do they have?

 

[vols 30]

Someone explain why Dee won't run it back?

 

[joevol33]

I need a TD, I gotta leave and don't want to worry

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

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.

I'm not sure WHY he would have as much faith in the efficiency of this offense as he did last year's offense. They were exceptional.

This is not last year's offense but everyone seems to expect Heupel to call the same plays. That would be dumb. The QB and the WRs last year were really able to do things this years team can't.

Heupel has adjusted.

 

[casetopia]

Damn just saw Matthew perry died

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

That was weird. Seems like he had room to run?

 

[davethevol]

Should have let that ball go.

 

[OrangeFrog]

Why are we fair catching the kickoff when it's received on the 5?

 

[I40VOL]

RIP Matthew Perry (Chandler on friends)
Back to the game

 

[alavolfan]

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

Does it have to be violent, though?

Keep go Vols- keep up the intensity. We need to come out and score first thing here.

 

[PA Vol]

How many sacks does our D-Line have? How many hurries do they have?

None lol

How many holds does Kentucky have? Also none. Can't explain it!

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

It depresses me that we still have to play Georgia.

I'm depressed by Georgia's very existence.

 

[Manning4ever]

Matthew Perry died

 

[Spawn]

Give me a break. How does 250lb Milton get stuffed.

 

[posivol]

wtf was that call

 

[PA Vol]

I don't feel good about this third down.
