The Official #4 Tennessee @ Arkansas Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[Big Orange Rock]

He hasn’t threw 3 interceptions yet

This ….. he has not beat us yet. He has not played well and the line has been trash but he is not trying to force it. I feel like we will adjust and win the game by 10-14 points. We will see who is right. Me or the ones who quit two minutes into the game.

 

[Vol8188]

He had about 3-4 seconds at that point. Running likely ended the quarter.

Agreed. He made a great decision. If that play is made it’s an easy fg with one second.

lol people are honestly upset right now that he didn’t do the thing they were made about Milton doing a few years ago

 

[RAVOL]

OL better show up because right now not getting it done. There OL out playing us badly but D continues to Bow Up. We need to work middle of field better get some rhythm. Our best Play was our first and it got called back on phantom OL down the field. Let's see adjustments. In CHRIST Alone

 

[patrick]

Luckily the Vols are only down by 3. But I don’t believe our team is good enough to just flip the switch and roll.

Fingers crossed that they wake up and come home with a win.

 

[Other_Guy]

He has terrible clock management.

In his defense it feels like 80% of coaches are awful at it.

 

[volbound1700]

Where is Bru?

Agree, he has been disappointing all year. The only games he has shown up in where the OOC games against weak teams.

 

[Nico ee-ah-MAH-LAY-ah-va]

Getting beat at the LOS. If it continues, we lose.

Can’t fix and OL in 15 minutes. Dam will break in the second half. Eventually 230 yards of O will lead to more points and our O is WEAK

 

[87&91ALUM]

Hope we see the better Tennessee…#4, the second half.

 

[stolitonic]

Other hot takes from stolitonic:

Shaq is short
90s Jennifer Aniston was gross
Filet mignon is tough

Dude. Let's face it, this is the best team we were capable of buying. Our D is getting schooled by a washed up Bobby Petrino and our offense looked great against FCS level teams-against SEC teams not so much.

The level of concern should be very high

 

[rocketskates]

Sometimes I absolutely hate that I get so emotionally involved in Tennessee sports

 

[jaxvol]

Why did we want Campbell back?

 

[adam.vol]

Alright Vols.. So we’re not as good as we had hoped.

The offensive line has left zero doubt. That being said, we are only down by 3 when our offense has played something awful. Our defense doesn’t look dominant, but they haven’t folded yet either (minus the one wide open guy who their QB ignored in the end zone).

Lower expectations and stand by our guys. It’s not over.

 

[Sarms58]

For as badly as we were outplayed being down 3-0 is no where near as bad as it could have been. We’ve got to figure out how to block so Nico can do more than just throw out in the flat…

 

[vol24/7/365]

Obviously WRs are not getting separation. Ongoing issue all season.

Yes been a problem!

 

[SGMVols]

Clark Lea just put up 40 on Alabama. There’s no excuse in the world that will cover for this performance

That just shows you how tough it is on the road. Anybody can win any given Saturday with the benefit of home field advantage. We haven’t lost a home game except UGA In 3 years

 

[Hydro556]

Typically, when a team dominates like that and only has a 3 point lead at half, or ends up going poorly for them.

Were about to see how well this staff can adjust. Hopefully we look like tn second half.

 

[jcvol87]

This team can regroup but if we go 3 and out to start the half, then it may be a long night for the Vols.. I’m not taking credit away from Ark but something seems weird about our team tonight. Did they show up thinking it would be a cakewalk?

 

[Grudenator]

Why didn't nico run with no one 25+ yards near him out of bounds for a field goal with 2 to 3 seconds left

It was 4th down

 

[itfeelslike98]

Do us all a favor and put the bottle down, log off, and go to bed.

i’ll pick the bottle back up and say nico hasn’t done **** he’s a game manager and that statement is something yall all don’t wanna hear bc it’s true.

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

Remember the good ole days when Heupel called vertical passing plays?

 

[arkyvol]

This is what happens when you get two weeks to read about how great you are.

 

[KeyVol14]

Have been a few JG flash backs this half

Right cuz his guys up front aren't blocking

 

[rocketskates]

Dude. Let's face it, this is the best team we were capable of buying. Our D is getting schooled by a washed up Bobby Petrino and our offense looked great against FCS level teams-against SEC teams not so much.

The level of concern should be very high

If not for the D it would be 21-0 or worse. D is playing fine. Offense needs to produce.

 

[BigOrangeGirl]

W

Pittman is a piece of crap

What did he say? My kiddo was talking and I missed it lol.

 

[BreatheUT]

Sickening to look this bad on prime time tv…

And we've had a week off. This is an embarrassing performance.
