The Official #3 Tennessee vs. (#14 FCS) UT Martin Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[HuntlandVolinColo]

This team quit playing. Which is inexcusable.

Put Hooker and Turnage back in!

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

Atrocious

 

[VolsFan-TX]

I thought they called him out of bounds before the review

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Merry Christmas!

Ok let’s run the offense and get a score

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Starters cannot get hurt or ejected if they’re not playing. However, one would think our worst recruits are better than their best

Walk ons here probably aren't starters at a good FCS school.

 

[87&91ALUM]

58-21….their first string better than our second string for sure. We have a ways to go on defense but, better than last year for #1s.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Still waiting to see Milton whiz that F$@$er down the field for a TD.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Third String Defense is why

Does UT Martin still have their starters in?

 

[I Love Lamp]

Third String Defense is why

Exactly, third string defense for an already bad secondary, this is what happens.

 

[GreyWolf1129]

Sloppy...hard to watch...but also Homecoming for kids who would never see the field in a competitive game. It's their 1st string against our 3rd/4th. And they don't get much in the way of constructive practice time, so...

It is what it is. Go Vols.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Weird but we got other guys playing today

Those gave up 7. We are playing guys that may never get to step on the field.

 

[chef3531]

Regardless of what string is in, it's poor tackling and piss poor angles being taken. That's on Coach Martinez, which should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed his coaching career.

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

We look awful

 

[Hank Bukowski]

Hope Elijah is ok.

Me, too. Have to say, I’m surprised he was even in the game at this point.

 

[DougVol]

You’d think if you’re gonna put the dam jersey on and get in the game, you would put something good on tape. Jeez

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Pretty spot on

 

[Vfl2407]

And it’s games like this that show you why gambling is frustrating. Teams trailing big keep in their first teamers while the leading team doesn’t.

 

[Kylo]

Who has one of the top passing offenses in the FCS. It’s not like we’re playing Akron my dude.

Stop it. It's FCS. Quit making excuses. This team isn't in danger, but it's a bad look.

 

[hardin_co85]

Let the youngins learn.. i dont gamble lol so long as we win im fine.. let the big dogs rest

 

[VolsFan-TX]

It’s the effort. Not the talent. We don’t look like we’re trying right now.

Gives the coach a lot to discuss with the team. The 2nd and 3rd string guys have to work and play just as hard as the 1st string guys.

 

[GAVol]

You can tell who has money on this game lol.

 

[djohnnyg]

I don't like giving up this many points to Martin. I can see them having 35 before it's done. Me don't approve. Gotta consider losing ranking giving em too many.

 

[LittleVol]

Put Jackson in...

Milton always killing momentum.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Hope we stay healthy, backups to the backups are garbage
