The Official #5 Tennessee @ South Carolina Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Bluetic]

SC will get beat down by Clemson next week exposing how truly bad TN defense really is.

Clemson actually has athletes on D too, not just on offense

 

[ptcarter]

I just kicked a bucket of light bulbs

 

[ProfessorD]

Tennessee defenses, making average qbs look like heisman candidates for the last 15 years.

 

[Volholic]

Honey, it wasn't the helmets.

I don’t care. They are tainted with the memory of this.

 

[FLSTF-VOL]

I love our coach but they were absolutely embarrassed tonight. Out played, out coached and out fanned tonight. As I stated before Vandy will beat us. It is what it is. When the offense is struggling we simply have no shot. This defense is straight-up trash and there is no hiding that against a slightly competent offense.

 

[PowerT4me]

You gotta love college football. Didn't we storm the field after beating USC Jr when Clowney was there? 2013 maybe?

Probably but that that was Spurrier was it not?

 

[Vol4life2]

Butch 2.0

Wrong. This team will score… next year might be less but you can expect an exciting offense for a long time. Butch and the others can’t match that. I would rather have this than a dominant D and an offense that can’t score.

 

[orange_glory]

This team doesn't have the talent, they're soft and to be frank dumb

Soft like the stay puft marshmallow man

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

44 this is worse gsme I've seen. Even through sunseri.... I'm intrigued for all post game cliches heupel will spew

This is the most humiliating loss we’ve had since the 69?”Mule” game vs Ole Miss

 

[jmacvols1]

TN just has some players on the defense that just are not good....going to have to recruit better defensive players.

 

[Wezcoast]

Forgot Florida. Richardson raped us. Delete my comment if you must, but there is no other relative word that describes what he did to our defense.

I don't have a problem with the word in this context, but I felt like we were more willing than we let on. Hard to charge AR when we begged for it.

 

[Vol737]

Keep your sense of humor
Probably involve an all orange helmet and defense

Honestly…it will probably be one of their funniest of the season. I’ll just have to grin and bear it.

 

[Dergibvol]

Baseball, basketball, football. When it really counts we never step up

I had wiped baseball from my memory. Thanks.

 

[GoVols64]

Oh…And burn the Orange helmets.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

A damn I do not give about next year. I’m 67 years old….

It just doesn’t make sense to put up this effort tonight with everything to play for. I’ll never understand college football.

 

[TooRockyByFar]

Bright side satterfield gets another year I guess

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

I'm 68 and I pee orange. (is that okay?)

Consult your urologist

 

[Other_Guy]

And then running his mouth after being made a a little girl over and over

I've never wanted to call in a HC call in show so badly and ask why he wasn't benched for being an idiot.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Well guys Tennessee just Tennesseed...I got no words for what I just saw but some changes on the defensive side of the ball need to be made...No excuse for what happened tonight, We made Rattler look like a heisman candidate.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

A few of those blatant holds could have been called. May have helped.

Absolutely not. Don’t take the position of every fan who loses to blame the refs. It’s predictable and lacks dignity.

 

[Vol4life2]

I don't mind losing to a better team, when our team is prepared by the staff, looks competent, and plays to the best of their ability.

That's not what happened tonight.

Then you need to go root for a Pro team because that’s not what happens in College football no matter how much the NIL players are paid.

 

[Burhead]

Oh and no more fancy jersey combos or cool new helmets until this team shows they deserve them either.

 

[FrankenVol54]

Honey, it wasn't the helmets.

As if all the playoff talk wasn’t enough of a distraction, we have to be Oregon East with the uniform? No thanks.

 

[C-south]

Short story is our terrible defense was exposed by an offense that played to win.

 

[P.O.T.S. VOL]

We suck ass today
