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

[TennesseeTarheel]

Defense is great against bad offenses, but not very good against a good offense

They have only scored 3 points.

 

[alavolfan]

Nico can pull it down and run, can’t he? But this line…. Sheeze. A few weeks ago they were making jokes big enough for a truck.

Their freakin heads are too big - can’t handle success or something. You gotta play every game all out.

They have held them to 3 points so far.

the only good thing.

 

[YankeeVol]

Why have we not blitzed? I don’t think I’ve seen one yet.

Extremely mobile QB. It’s the Vols kryptonite

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I’m thinking McElroy may have been right about this offense, though it pains me to say.

 

[RockyTop140]

We shouldn't be panicking about our defense. They've made some mistakes but our offense is putting them in a really bad position and the hogs only have 3 points.

We should be panicking though. Our offense is pathetic.

 

[connor]

Stop it. We might as well just accept that this is what we are now. An 8-4 or on a good year 9-3 type program. A fringe T25 team .

Recruits are gonna start taking second looks elsewhere.

bro is an obvious troll

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Blame the offense. Football is geared against the defense.

I do have plenty of grief to give our offense

 

[C-south]

Got to get a stop here

 

[NOLAPhil]

Proud of the d...even with the busts. Offense is zero help. Play calling and execution

 

[vavolfan6]

Huepel better have one hell of a halftime speech.

He needs to make offensive adjustments...not simply a speech

 

[OptimisticFan]

Our offense looks absolutely horrendous so far.

 

[Bollweevil]

Florida is taking it to UCF right now

They just warming up for next week.

 

[nomads-11]

So far the defense is literally handing the game to Nico and company. IMO. Here...take it over.

 

[posivol]

lets get the ball back d

 

[87&91ALUM]

We are gettin beat at the line(s)

 

[VOLinAL]

Our defense is playing hard but our problem tonight is the offensive line play.

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

Defensive line has played with energy but yeah the energy has been on the Arkansas side.

Exactly!!! Hope Coach has one hell of a speech prepared..

 

[90 Vol]

We are seeing their 100% best and we're only down 3 points. Second half adjustments coming.

How do adjust out of putrid o line play?

 

[BigALWiLson]

Wow guy. Wtf. It is SEC football. There are no weeks off in conference games. Some of you all need to remember that. We are getting our ass kicked but every team faces some adversity in this conference. Let's get to half and regroup

 

[Vols919]

Stop it. We might as well just accept that this is what we are now. An 8-4 or on a good year 9-3 type program. A fringe T25 team .

Utu was just the first. I would be shocked if Sanders ever makes it to campus

 

[Big Orange Rock]

All of you early quitters freaking suck out loud. Go pull for someone else. Maybe after the game you have a beef but for goodness sakes there is over a half of football left and we are down freaking 3. 3!

 

[AustinVol]

We are seeing their 100% best and we're only down 3 points. Second half adjustments coming.

I sure hope so.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

They are giving up long drives. This isn’t sustainable.

3 points. Our offense has to eventually flip the field and do something

 

[JO VOL]

I still can’t fathom how bad this team is playing after an extra week to prepare.

Total yds so far

Ark 222
TN 29

Amazingly, it is only 3-0

 

[utVolFanInVA]

Funny how Nichols couldn't crack our OL starting line but has not given up a pressure for ARK so far tonight. Meanwhile, our OL is operating like a turnstile.
